Good log name, I like eet. I shall continue to follow.

Btw from the end of your last log you talking about being weak, I have literally never in person seen a woman bench 135 or more. I don’t have PL meet experience but I’ve been in many a gym, so you’re at least ahead of about 99% of the female population there. Dunno if you remember Hallowed from this site, but she recently spoke of accomplishing her lifetime bench press goal of 135 pounds. So don’t sell yourself short.

I think everyone who was here remembers Hallowed in some form or another. She’s still tearing it up in cyberspace somewhere?

I saw your rower question, thought I would stop on by in here and answer:

It should suck and your whole body should feel awful.

Did that help?

Hey Spock! Dropping into the new log to say hi and keep it up. I was sorta lurking in your old log for a while. It got pretty weird sometimes… But it was certainly the most interesting thing on TNation imo. So congrats on that! Seems like you doubt yourself way too much though. Maybe that’s how you got so strong cuz you kept thinking that you weren’t? I dunno.

Quick story: I went to a little local bench contest thing a while back. There was a girl division, and it was the most pitiful thing I have ever seen. Out of like six girls, five of them basically “bombed out”, and one girl benched like 95lbs which was actually pretty impressive cuz I think it was her skinny ass body weight. You could have made them look so weak people would have thought you were like an alien or something.

Anyway… you seem like a really good mom and a strong lifter, so keep up the good work! It’s nice to see someone else in powerlifting who is almost as nerdy as I am.

LOL yes, thanks! THat means I did it wrong cause my back wasn’t tired enough, heh.

ALRIGHTY, hEY!

Now I understand what ya’ll are saying about me not being weak and whatnot, but I guess I just feel weak compared to myself. Or weak because things that felt heavy still feel heavy and usually my lifts feel like they’re going down instead of up.

BUT YA. I got some things to work on cause it’s not like I wanna stop doing the main lifts, I just want to stop sucking at them.

I need to squat more so I can squat better me thinks. Not sure how to fix bench because my arm going numb isn’t really a weakness. There is some kinda kinky whatever in my back that i think is fucking up my bench. Maybe that will just go away in time.
ALSO NEW GYM FLAW: WEird benches. THey have those like curvy pins so I can’t just slide the bar out or whatever and it will take some getting used to.
Deadlift stop sucking plan: Not sure
Bascially my last workout at my old gym went like this:
Woke up said fuck it I give up powerlifting/I hate life. Said fuck you self you have two days left until deload suck it up.
Could barely pull 205. I think I got a really ugly double or something. Almost started crying. Went to do BBB squats, could do like 115 x 3. Decided I had to leave so I could have an emotional breakdown.
Picked my kid up from the babysitting and he started crying cause it was too early to go home, so then I started crying and all these guys who would be hot if they weren’t crossfitters saw me and UHGGG. It was a diasaster.

But ya, past is in the past I guess. I just don’t understand why I can’t get ANY STRONGER EVER!! :confused:

UMM so today’s

Squats
115 x 2 sets of 5
135 x 3 x 3
125 x 3 sets of 5

I refuse to do a single knee caving set, and my knees cave above 135, so ya.

GOnna try out overhead squats sometimes. I did them with a broomstick today and that felt light, LOL! Good sign I guess… ANyway, my glutes activate wayy better for those,I dunno why my bum doesn’t do anything for normal squats?

Back ext. 2 x 20
OHH! good girl bad girl machines will be done LOTSLOTSLOTS cause I think I have very weak hip area stuffs
2 x 15 each

UM jacob’s ladder thing x like 4 minutes HAHA. <–I think I found my prowler replacement! WOOT

decline abs 5 x 10
knee lift thing 2 x 10
couple chin ups that hopefully will be way easier when I can stop being fat-ish.

Life news:

Ha! I wish, that would make me seem much wittier…

KKKk powerlifting, i wish I knew how to quit you…

Clearly I wish I could get stronger and lose fat all at the same time. I go into the gym thinking Ima change shit up, but I end up doing all the same powerlifting stuff that I was doing before, Lol.

Well, whatever.

My ideas:
Squat often. Squat different. Squat as heavy as I can FOR THAT DAY.
Bench varations, flat bench is not the only THING OUT THERE.
Um good girl/bad girl machines daily.
backbackback back back backback back back!!! Back can never be strong enough.
I also need to suck it up and do things I am really bad at IE: Front squats.

Today’s

High bar squat
115 x 5
135 x 5
145 x 3
155 x 1
155 x 1
135 x 3
115 x 5

So if I squat one set with knee cavey, and then up the weight, when I go back to the first weight it’s less knee cavey. Maybe I should stop using knee cavey as a reason to not add weight, I dunno?

Front squats
(BTW I front squat less than I Miltiary press AH)
65 x 3
75 x 3
75 x 3
75 x 3
65 x 5
I can only do low rep front squats cause otherwise I suffocate, heh.
Very short rests, at least…

Good mornings 2 x 12

UMM cleans to Military press. Oh well, ‘cleans’ since I am not sure if I really cleaning properly.

65 x 5
70 x 5
75 x 5
All felt really good actually.

NG pull ups 3 x 3

good girl bad girl machine 2 x 12 each

Treadmill hill sprint thingies x 10 minutes

ropey cable abs x 50
chrisitan bale abs x 25

yep good. I found this cool foam roller that’s all bumpy so it seems to work a lot better. Hopefully that can de kink my back.

Life news:
Kid is sleeping at schmuck’s place this weekend. He texted me all like “Please pack a bag for gabriel with pj’s and a teddy bear for comfort” UMM OK cause I am too dumb to know A) To pack things B) what a teddy bear is for.

A teddy bear for comfort
as apposed to a teddy bear for…?
I really hate him. Everything he does and says is so stupid

Now that I live with my parents I can’t masturbate.THis means I will probably be orgasam-less for like 3 years.

UHgggggggggggggggg x’s 1000000

Cheers to a new log and wrecking some goals!

Also someone once told me to pretend I was ‘ripping’ the bar apart while OH squatting. Made the world of difference. And practice. Its like pullups for me…use it or loose it!

WELL, he called my cell number and I didn’t answer cause I never heard it. UHGGGGGG HE left me this voicemail that sounded SO SAD like one of those thingies in those child kidnapping movies just to let the parents know their child is still alive and SCARED.
He is going to be so mad at me. ! Here I was telling him over and over to call and he does and I DON’T ANSWER!!!
HE called TWICEEEEEEEEE
His voicmail was like “mommy…I jsut wanted to say…I just wanted to say…” END OF VOICEMAIL.

Front squats are amazing. Learn to love’em.

Good luck with the whole learning to swim thing. Can’t remember if I mentioned this in the last pages of the last log, but it can be tough to learn as an adult. Some people just have a real hard time getting comfortable in the water (like me).

Also, I’ve noticed sometimes that if I get a shitty sleep, it’s not the next day that it hits me, it’s the subsequent days. See how you feel tomorrow haha.
