I just started too! Yay for being synched up! 
I note Maschyās log got very quiet after I used the word āmenstrual.ā
Come back, boys. Iāll stop.

OK, but if a discussion about yeast infections starts Iām outta here.
Yes! Blood sisters! So nice.
Kmc - love the Manhattan bridge, but its a bit out of my way. And youāre NOT old!! That would make me old tooā¦lower lip quivers
Iām glad you all are into the cup! Its so much fun.
Giterdone - how did you enjoy the games?
I myself have been having fun watching the games - perhaps a bit TOO much fun ahem.
At any rate, Friday I wasnāt able to do pilates and didnt feel like cardio, so i thought I do sqwatz. Oh boy EPIC fail! The bar felt so freaking heavy.
Squats
5x75, 95, 120
3x135
2x145 < failed on 3rd!!
1x145
After that I was like, āoh fuck noā and bounced.
Iām calling this a fluke, esp since I had done triples at 145 and 150 the week before. I have some thoughts on why I sucked hard core. First I havenāt been sleeping much the last few days and only had 4 hrs of sleep the night before. However, thanks to the diet (and probably also lending to the debacle), I still feel like i have loads of energy, thus confusing myself.
Honestly, Iām not at all pissed by this. Quite the opposite. I realize if I could just harness this new found energy - get more sleep, get more clean cals (yes more!), i think i could get back into good shape. So iām looking forward to re-doing squat day later this week.
That said, in keeping with the brutal honesty that is PW. Here is video of EPIC fail! yee-haw!

Weāre having a good time watching the games! My son was inspired and got his ball so he could work on his footwork while watching the Argentina game. Made me laugh. He plays keeper most of the time and has a game in a couple of hours. Iām a proud dad.
Donāt worry about the squats. I ended up on the pins myself a couple of weeks ago and hit a PR yesterday. During the first 3-4 sets yesterday I was thinking āuh oh, these feel very heavyā but I just kept ramping up in sets of 2-3 reps so I didnāt fatigue myself and it worked out okey dokey.
you have pretty good form on your squatsā¦looks like you lost your tightness at the bottom of the 3rd, strength is definitely there. Yep, sleep is a big recovery tool, I know that so wellā¦lol.
Very pretty squats, even the āfailā!
only you can make a fail look so good. sleep woman. and come back stronger.
Oh yeah. Been there, dumped that except with lighter weight on the bar. Skwatz were looking fundamentally good otherwise though! Tweak the diet and the sleep, and I share your confidence that all is well.
hi maschy! i was thinking of you now that the world cup is on. i wouldnāt even sweat that āfailā of your squat running on 4 hours sleep and a little world cup debauchery that might be going on. 
as always, videos of your buns and hammies are always appreciated, fail or not. thanks for sharingā¦
Git - You must be a proud dad indeed! The future of MLS right there 
Lil Power - Thanks! saw your vids incredible, so Iāll take your word for it.
Greenie, nlmain, Kimba, T - Hi! And thanks ladies - youāre all correct, sleep and eats makes all the difference.
Yesterdayās training DL. Yes! So much better this time around.
DL - 5x 115, 140, 160, 180, 190 < I messed up with my plate adding. Dāoh!
Rack Pulls - 12x 115, 125, 135, 145 < I think these are helping tons! Plus, less grip issues.
Supersetted
Rev Wood chop - 3x12x25, 12x27.5
weighted split squat jump - 12x10, 2x12x20
weighted Lunge jumps - 12x10, 2x12x20
10 box jumps - lost steam.
The 190 on the Dl was good all in all - vid shows a teensy bit of rounding and my ass shifted up, but i think the 180 beforehand fatigued me a bit. I was also supposed to do Rev lunges, but I ran out of time!
Tonight conditioning. Tomorrow upper body.
Looks like a great work out! Canāt wait for the vid.
Hey Masch!!! Sorry I havenāt been around, and Iām totally lost now on whatās been going on with you 
Looks like youāre kicking ass pretty much, as usual 
I had another set back that put me out of the gym again for a while damnit! Had a toe injury and got stitches and everything. I had no idea how an injured toe could adversely affect something as simple as walkingā¦ or standingā¦ or wearing shoesā¦ or doing those beloved squats. I went through pretty heavy withdrawals over the squats issue
Btw, like Talenaah, I also think of you now that the World Cup is on
Outstanding!
A 190 deadlift! That is SO awesome! You will be pulling 4 plates soon.
Tamale! I miss that sweet ass.
Thanks ladies! I was praying this one would go, seeing as the other 2 lifts are having a moment. So iām glad for it.
I have been sleeping about 5-6 hrs a night for the last five months and now I have a little respite, so Iāve been sleeping loads. Till 9am some days! Last night I slept 10hrs (sorry insomniacs :-/ ). This clearly helps.
Today was an upper body day. I decided to make weighted chins my ābig liftā. I have no dip belt so I use the 5lb weighted belt, tie it around my waist, and stick a 5lb plate under it. The idea was 5x5x10lbs. If I canāt do 10, I remove plate to just the weighted belt, if i canāt do that I drop the belt and go to BW. So itāll goes, 10/5/BW
4/1/0, 3/2/0, 2/3/1, 2/1/2, 1/1/3 < cute linebacker was working out next to me, heās clearly gay
Supersetted:
N grip pullups (BW obvs) - 3, 2, 2, 2, 1
explosive pushups - 4x15
Bentover lat raises - 4x4x10
Flat bench db press - 12x25, 11x30, 2x8x30 < I think iām going to stay with lower reps for this. Not sure if its right, but I really used leg drive on the last set and felt it helped a lot.
And that was it! Iām trying to lean out a tad, so I should really add some sort of circuit at the end. But Iāll get my cardio in tomorrow. Iām playing pick up, iāll be sure to run a bit while iām out there.
Looks like a great work out Masch. Really impressed with that 190 DL too. Glad you are getting some good sleep!
Someday I will catch up to you on those weighted chins. In the meantime, I will just be quietly jealous.
Awesome work out. I canāt wait until I can do 1 pull up/chin up.
WOW weighted chin champion right here!
