Regarding the training, do you write down your sets / reps during your workout? Some people are highly visual and need to see it to believe it. You do a shit load of work. Maybe you just need to see it.

I would hate to see your compulsion to train everyday drive you away from what you love. It is easy for others, including me, to say “stop doing that”. But it’s not that easy. I have some experience with compulsive behavior (brother).

Two recommendations on the training.

  • If you are able to manage to train only 4 days a week, then do 5/3/1. The weights will feel light for the first couple of months since you will be able to bang out a lot of reps. Don’t worry about it. Almost every program starts with higher reps to build a base and then ramps intensity over time. Those that don’t make progress on 5/3/1 didn’t stick with it long enough. It will get hard. I wouldn’t even do the PL version since you might stress out over the singles.
  • The other option is the new 5/3/1 version that you train 6 days a week. It’s new. I haven’t done it and probably won’t since I can’t schedule 6 days a week. Last I checked it was free on jimwendler.com. If not, PM me.

It is free.

OMG I AM GOING TO DO THIS!!! It takes away everything I hated about 5/3/1 (deloads and not enough workouts, ha-ha)
!!

AND
I am going to get a notebook!! This will be used as a weapon against my OCD.

THE PEN IS MY SWORD.
THE BOOK IS MY SHEILD.

So Spock81 is becoming Spock531! Can’t wait to hear how the volume goes for ya.

644

Anyone have a link to that 5/3/1 6 day/week version? I can’t seem to find it. Also I can’t send/receive PM’s

645

Nevermind, found it!

Hope you get that job Spock

646

THanks ya’ll!!

I hate posting in my log more than once a day but…

I got my download of it and it’s like Jim Wendler sent me an email ehahwhahehahehahea.

It was bascially like “I hope you like it. Let me know how it goes.”

How cool is that? I bet that’s what he’d say if he himself actually posted in my workout log.

I feel so cool even though I know it’s just a generic email that is sent to everyone who downloads the progarm…
I DON"T CARE!! I’M STILL SPECIAL

NEENERR NEENERR NEENERRRRRR

Gmoore you should do the program too so we can be like program buddies. BESTIES!!!

HAHA…awesome!

Regarding the writing (because you are a natural), I think you should do it in blog format. Copy and paste or just link your blog here.

You can use it for documenting training and life like you do here. But it gives you more freedom and flexibility to write about whatever pops into your head and for whatever life throws your way…work, being a single mom, parents that piss you off, the search for a meaningful relationship, OCD, sex toy reviews etc. etc… No training required. You get to exercise your writing muscles and you already write the way the internet reads.

You have the personality to attract a substantial online audience. TNation is too small for you.

Audience = Influence, Influence = Money (maybe)

In for Spock’s not so gradual descent into madness :wink:

649

Thank you, sir! Keep up the good work Spock!

654

I hope your days off are wonderful! It took me a few years to go from everyday to days off for lifting …now I go 3 to 4 times a week to lift and its actually helped my numbers. Plus you can have heavy wonder sessions that make the days off full of pleasant soreness and fatigue from making shit happen.

Good luck at the Target job! I’d LOVE to work at Target! I’ve seen them have their employee pep meetings in the isles. The sing songs like kinda nerds but they always seem to have a chill cool job.

A blog…

Doesn’t that mean I have to create Paleo recipes, talk about crossfit, and make jokes about bacon in order for people to want to read it ?
HEH.

MOMMY I DON’T WANT TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY FOOD, WAHH!!!

I have written like 150 facebook notes, but I only have like 55 friends so I guess nobody really reads them, LOl.

Not so much a lurker as a cautious observer. Like coming across a skunk eating an old bag of chips. I mean, it’s funny and adorable and unexpected and you’d like to get a closer look but one wrong move and it’s tomato sauce baths for the next few days.
