Max Lifts:
Deadlift: 210 lbs
Squat: 155 lbs
OH Squat: 70lbs x 5 (no clue what my one rep max is)
C&J: 105 lbs
Bench: I’d rather not talk about it…i haven’t tried to max out in aaages, and mostly just do pushups or DB incline benching to work my chest
My primary goal right now is to drop a few lbs and get myself back into fighting form. I’m working on the whole life/balance thing and my gym attendance has been poor with the exception of the past 6 weeks. Hoping to maintain my new good habits for the foreseeable future.
Today’s workout: Cardio with a cold. Blech.
OHS 3x9 @ 45 lbs, 1 x 5 @ 50 lbs, 1 x 5 @ 55 lbs, 1 x 5 @ 60 lbs, 1 x 5 @ 65 lbs
Thrusters superset with hang cleans 3 x 10, just the bar
40 minutes on some kinda cardio machine. I don’t know what it’s called…it feels a bit like cross country skiing.
Anyhoo, that’s me for now! Realize this is not the most exciting or revealing of posts, but look forward to being in the presence of such powerful women (har har), and getting to know y’all better.
Welcome! You have pretty much the same stats as me! Except I’m slowly building back my squat due to crappy knees. Nice C&J number
Do you write out your workouts as ‘sets’x’reps’ @ ‘weight’? If so, damn strong work on the OHS Do you compete in anything or is working out what you do to keep your sanity?

It was puketastic! Not helped by my cold at all. Being sick takes all the fun out of working out.

Thanks for the welcome! Yep, that’s right - I do sets x reps @ weight.
At the moment, working out is purely a way to keep my sanity. After 2 years of being in the real world, I’ve finally figured out that if I’m not in the gym on a very regular basis, I will actually go crazy.
Welcome. And working out with a cold - I’ve been doing that a lot and it does suck indeed. Three colds since January. That’s what I get for working with kids.

Increased badassery is always a good thing!
Regular gym time certainly keeps me sane too.

Three colds since January??? Gah, I can’t even imagine. Kids are like little plaguebearers.

Hoping to absorb some of everyone else’s badassery too!
