Hey…you’re still around… welcome back![/quote]
I’m not in the mood to play. Leave me alone.
My bitchiness continues…
I need to take a break from life… or at least things in life that are causing me stress because while I can be bitchy on a regular basis, I’m not generally a full-time bitch.
Anywho, my body has basically given me the finger today. I put it through physio on my back, all of Magnificent Mobility, Active Release Therapy on my glutes and hip flexors, a few more exercises from MM, weight training, and HIIT.
I realized I’ve gotten a bit ‘soft’ around the middle and am not really liking the look. So I’m going to start doing HIIT and/or steady state cardio again.
Training:
A1. YTWLI
2.5x12x2
A2. Seated Rope to Neck (w/ 1 sec pause on contraction)
30x14x1
30x12x1
B1. Seated DB Press
20x8x3
20x6x2
B2. Seated DB Laterals
5x15x3
5x12x2
C1. Decline Skullcrushers
30x8x3
C2. DB Pullovers
20x15x3
** After this I went up to Todd and told him it felt like I had a cramp in my right tricep. He rolled his eyes at me.
D1. Hyperextensions
BWx25x3
D2. Hanging Leg Raises (legs straight out, knees bent)
12,8 x1
9,11 x2
E1. Planks
30s x2
E2. Swiss Ball Crunches
25x2
HIIT:
24 minutes on the stairmill - 100steps/min workrate for 30s, 45steps/min workrate for 1min.
I’m determined to hammer my core so my coach can no longer tell me I have a weak core. One of the regulars (that was in the same comp as Todd but in a different category) told me he was surprised that my core was what my coach thought was weak. At least HE doesn’t think so haha.

The way that’s phrased makes me wonder what he thinks is weak. It’s kind of like “Oh your coach thinks your core is weak. Well maybe, but I think … is weak.”
Is this regular the one competing on the 22nd when we go on our club field trip? When I mentioned our outing to a friend (sister of guy competing on 22nd) she said we need to get gang colours or something. I’ve always wanted to be a thug.
Don’t worry too much about a weak core. Worry a lot when it’s your mental process that is weak.

Well he was surprised because he expected me to say my triceps or something. He knows my bench sucks and thought Bill would have thought the same…
And yes, this is the guy competing when we go on our field trip. That being said, I’m buying my ticket through him cuz he was one person away from getting part of his fee waived. Ask your boss if he wants you/the kid to do the same through him.
As for gang colours…should we all maybe wear orange SC tees and a singlet? I’m thinking mine should have arrived well before then. It would be cute hahahaha.

I got Magnificent Mobility when I was visiting my brother this weekend and spent some time last night doing it. Hopefully my body will start loving me.
But seriously, he’s so sexy.
It’s the rosy red cheeks, isn’t it?
I was looking at his ‘cheeks’ but didn’t realize they were rosy red… oh wait, are you referring to the ones on his face?[/quote]
OK… so I know I am a little late on this… but check out this thread so you can give your crush some LOVE =D

Liar.
You just want to meet Bartl.
LOL am I that transparent?
But seriously, I think it would be fun.
Don’t worry Court, he’s all yours, I’m pretty much married at this point, meaning I got the house and the dog. What more could a girl ask for?
All web wrestling over Bartl aside, I think it would be a blast if you competed with us.[/quote]
January 24 hmmm that will give me 9 weeks or so…I’ll tell my coach and get into a new cycle. And check the price for a bus ticket.
OK guys, I’m bored, I bought all my post weigh in junk food today and I just have to do some laundry.
Have a good weekend!

Sweet! T-Nation reunion for sure! Sayjin has confirmed. Bartl is in the works of confirming. It’s funny that none of us are in the same weight class lol. However, I checked the sign-up list and there’s officially someone else competing in my weight and age class now. Btw, you can find all the info at www.niagarapowerlifting.org.
Best of luck tomorrow Diana! Throw some heavy shit around and rock it!

Thanks, it’s Sunday though!
I just checked the sign up sheet and one of the girls from my PL club is going too (Janet Warne). I might be able to get a lift.
If I don’t hate this sport after tomorrow, I’m signing up.
miss court and miss ourboro, not sure how much chicken y’all eat, but i found a little italian butcher in stoney creek that’ll give you a 10 pound bag of boneless, skinless chicken breasts for like 30 bucks haha…
pm me if you want the deeeeeeeeeeeeets…I ended up cooking 24 breasts bigger than the ones you see at fortinos for 31.33, insanity (both eating that much chicken and the price)

Hey, that’s good news about Janet being from your club. So far, she’s the only one in my weight class. I was checking the only woman so far in Court’s class. She has competed quite a bit. She can take her though.

I’d like the info if you can send it. Who knew Tony’s Creek was such a chicken source. I would eat more chicken but I’m poor.
Right now I’m soaking a bunch of beans (black beans and lima beans) for a mega batch of beans and rice. It’s an amazing source of fibre and protein for very little cash. I was recently turned onto this mash by another friend. Throw in some ground beef and some Louisana hot sauce and it’s very good.

So what time is dinner at tonight and when should I arrive? haha.
I need to get my act together and actually get some nutrients in me or tomorrow will suck. I played the ‘just how drunk can one girl get’ game last night (or at least it felt like it). The cement truck ran me over and I’m still feeling the effects…
I’ll say it so Bartl doesn’t have to: “Court, lay off the bottle!”

The beans are actually for tomorrow evening. That’s good news for everyone squatting with me tomorrow morning.
This evening, my mom it taking me out for dinner for my birthday, which by the way, is next Tuesday.

Shit… the timing is a little tight, but I should have enough time to get you a hooker for your birthday. That IS the SC Club birthday present of choice isn’t it?
Since you’ve only given me a few days, you might end up with the short, fat bald one though. That’s your preference in men anyways isn’t it?

Looks don’t matter. I plan to close my eyes, lie back and starfish. It is my birthday afterall.

Is that different from what you’d usually do? I mean with Provincials coming up you wouldn’t want to strain a muscle or anything…

Right enough. After all this work, I’d hate to peak early.
Sun Nov 16, SC Barn
I had possibly the worst training session ever today. Freaking brutal.
Bench:
45x10x1
65x5x1
82.5x5x1
87.5x4x1
92.5x3x1
97.5x2x1
102.5x1x1 → PR
82.5x5x1 w/ pause on last rep
72.5x10x1 w/ pause on last rep
My last set at 72.5, Ouroboro lost her mind. She started to give me commands on my 6th rep instead of my 10th. Then, I finally got to 10, had to look at her to get her to start the commands.
She says “Start”, I lower the bar to my chest, but she never told me to press. So I started pressing, she says “Oh shoot, press”, I laughed and got it to the point of almost locked out before she grabbed it. I guess at that point she thought me laughing hysterically at her while attempting to lock out might be a bit dangerous.
DB Bench Press:
25x8x3
CG Bench Press:
72.5x8x3
Then the crap began:
Squat
45x10x1
95x5x1
135x5x1
170x3x1
205x5x1 (felt like crap)
215x3x1 (felt like crap)
225x1x0 (horrible)
225x1x1
225x1x1
I was having trouble pushing my knees out when they start to come in on my way up. So the new cue to yell at me is “Knees”. The two singles felt better than anything else today.
DL
135x5x1
205x1x1 → My back hurt again doing this so I stopped
165x3x2
I finally told my coach about my back bothering me. I think he knew how frustrated I was today so he kept reassuring me that it was okay, that it was good it happened here and not at the meet. Anyways, he’s sending me to this chiro who is like “the” chiro/ART guy for powerlifters. So hopefully I’ll start feeling better soon.
