Nice squatting! 7 reps at 165 is impressive!
And are those dips unassisted? Awesome!

Yep, unassisted, but no weight.

Yep, awesome. 
deadlift day.
deadlifts: 10@65, 5@135, 5@155, 5@175, 3@195, 3@205, 3@225
last set was heavy and 3 was all i could do. I’m resetting after each rep now and the form feels cleaner (though I wasn’t looking in the mirror to check.)
db rows: 4x12@40 each arm
hypers: 4x12@25 behind head
good mornings: 12@45, 4x12@95
'sup, Alisa! Nice DL work-I don’t think that’s surprising u were fatigued on the last set-looks like a lot of work to me.
you not doin 5/3/1 anymore?

yeah I am; had to take a few days off for work reasons and I’m now starting where I left off.
I can’t rep my 225 yet. It takes everything I’ve got to get it up once. Good mornings with 95lbs is tough stuff!
Nice pulling, Alisa. I am still figuring out the best way to reset after each rep.
good for u, not lookin in the mirror!
press day:
press: 10@45, 5@55, 3@65, 3@75, 3@80, fail@85
lat raises: 4x12@17.5’s
barbell curl: 12/12/6@45
upright row: 4x12@50
very nice pressing, Alisa.

Interesting lunchtime conversation:
Dude: “Hey, your biceps are bigger than mine.”
Me: “No they’re not.”
[N.B. I do not have biceps to speak of.]
Dude: “No, really, they are.”
Me: “Well, okay.”
[N.B. Come to think of it, he is right.]
Dude: “I see you at the gym all the time, doing those squats and deadlifts… I just bench press.”
Me: “Maybe you should squat too. It’s fun.”
Dude: “Oh, no, I’m just trying to tone, not going for mass.”
Me: “Or its because you have sand in your vagina.”
This is at a table with lots of people, acutely aware of the awkwardness.[/quote]
Fixed for accuracy.

Lol, awesome edit.
3 mile run.
Hai Alisa! did a guy really use the word tone? sheeeeiiit, i thought only dumb girls used that word.
yay for your run…
Really nice deadlifting and pressing Alisa! I’m glad to hear resetting between reps on your pulls is working for you so far.

it’s finals week and I’ve been eating and exercising badly. Today is the end of the bad food extravaganza, though.
good luck for your finals Alisa.
Yeah, good luck! Rock those finals!
You pulled something during your squats? You ok?
