Yep, I have chalk. My hands still hurt to much and I need them for work.
Ronda - I’m sure there is but I can’t remember it. I did a mat Pilates class back in around 98 or 99 - it’s a while ago. I looked for it online but couldn’t find anything.

that sucks…
you can always train them between other exercises and such.
Cardio-ed - sprints - 25 mins - now I want a sandwich…
I love your pic. You have an awesome figure… on top of doing a pull-up. Hot.
A sandwich sounds good! Cardio-ed…that’s funny. On a treadmill or what? About the only machine I can tolerate is the upright bike…maybe the treadmill for uphill work, but not running for me!
The knees get angrily inflamed and achy. The damage is done…the only thing I can do is not do the things that cause pain…which is running…

I add -ed or -ing to verb-afy them for fun, see what I did there? 
I cannot run at all. Between my knees and my flat feet I tend to fall down… it’s kind of funny actaully
I do my sprints on an eliptical because it is easier to control my speed. If your gym does spinning classes, those bikes are awesome.
ooh! Thanks for reminding me…I took a spin class once and liked it!
And I get the -ed and the -ing, you silly.
Had a fun weekend. Told some guy with obviously waxed eyebrows that I didn’t care if his “lean”, i.e. “skinny” look was popular, it wasn’t popular with me… I enjoyed the look on his face
Bench Press 1x10x45, 1x6x95, 1x5x115, 3x5x125, 3x8x105
T bar Rows 1x8x45, 2x8x70
HS Iso Row 1x8x45, 1x8x70, 2x8x80
HS HIgh Row 1x8x45, 2x8x70
Back Squat
1x10x45, 1x10x95, 1x5x115, 1x5x135, 1x3x185, 1x1x205, 1x5x155, 2x5x115, 1x8x95
SLDL 1x8x95, 2x8x115
I ended up being in a hurry by the end so I didn’t get any cardio in but I do have videos 
135
185
205
not great depth here…
and finally some SLDL, not particularly heavy at 95 but can you see how close that guy was standing? His elbow was in my shot
That 205 looked like nothing…kinda seems like you psyched yourself out.
But um, why are your hyper extending your back on your sldls? hmmmm

The 205 sure felt like something though. I usually do another set of warm ups before I reach 205 and skiped them today, perhaps I should not of.
I didn’t think I was hyper extending my back, that is just the way I do them.
well, you definitely made 205 look easy!
and on the sldl, you want to drive your hips through and squeeeeze your toosh, but not bend backwards to do it, lol…
I used to do that when I DL’d to emphasis that yes, i was driving my hips through…had to break that habit!
those squats are lookin good Ronda!

I can see what you mean. While I don’t think I am leaning back in order to squeeze I can see where it looks like that. I was going alot faster in the video then I should, partly because those guys were just to close for comfort. The leaning back is un needed movement though and I need to just take my time and come up more slowly and pay attention to my ass
