Omg, I’m so so so sorry. That’s awful. Hugs.

Climbing and good weather! Winning combo.

Hello hello! We just had a very wet and dreary long weekend in New England. A brief summary of the weekend: 🏋️‍♀️ I had heavy 5s for squat on Friday (5 x 285#) 🥙 Dinner with lifting friends after Friday's workout 🏋️‍♀️ Deadlifts on Sat went less good because I didn't eat breakfast (5 x 335#, 3 x 345#, 1 x 355#) 🏒 Bruins playoff game and many many drinks with QP 🍳 Hangover recovery breakfast 💤 Rainy day nap 🍻 Met my BFF at an irish bar 🥂 Ran into her friends/coworkers 🍕Ate buffalo chicken pizza 🥳 Went to GC's for a small apartment party

Yeeeeeeeeeee -- glad you are enjoying getting back in the gym.

Hi! I forgot to do a post this challenge. So I'll just chat in here and post workout updates like ya do.

Haha, kind of! I don't have any goals other than following my lifting program right now. I may make a social thread or something in the new forum.

Friday - Jogged + hung out with QP + made lemon poppyseed cookies Saturday - Deload squats + board press (2 x 180#) + hung out with my neighbor (BB) + played darts + did some online games with the bois Sunday - Deload deadlifts + visited my BFF at her new job with my roommates and GC + went to bed early Challenge Wrap-up Train: 20/20 lifting + 6/6 "other" <-- lifted according to plan and hiked, jogged, or went to gymnastics to supplement it - 100% Mobilize: 4/5 thoracic + 3/5 <-- still didn't make more time/prioritization for this - 70% Outdoor time

I mean, you were doing so much school stuff! You busy bee. And haha, I always joke that every time I go to physical therapy, I find out all sorts of new things "wrong with me" -- such as "wow you don't even breathe right." 🤣 We're never going to be perfect though! There's always something to work on

Haha, yes. Ideally the simple tuck I'm trying to do will go more up and less out. 😅 If you are trying to twist though, sometimes more distance can give you more time. Okay, this week I have not been updating much, huh? Monday, I rested. I was in an odd mood. I did 2 loads of laundry, played Rats with the bois, and finished the book for work book club -- I liked it, but it felt a little shallow in a few ways. Tuesday had the discussion which wasn't well attended but I still enjoyed it! Plus 3 people told me they actually read the book but couldn't join, hah. After

This is so cute! And will help cement it for him as well!

Aw, poor rat friends. My condolences.

Ahaha, aw. Hope the weekend is restorative. Video calls are laaaaame. I also went into the office this week and despite having been pro-in person interactions forever, still had forgotten how much more you can pick up and notice in person. That is exciting!

I'm fully on team bralette these days -- especially thin, padless ones. They do not prevent "nipping out" but they're soooo comfy and soft and I love them. I do not intend to go back to anything wired.

Nopeee. It's like a toe-to-high bar except you flip instead of grabbing the high bar. Here is me, letting go too early and definitely not finishing the flip in time to land on something like the ground: But once you figure the timing out, you can get more cool:

Day 4.5 Rest day. I met my friend for tacos and then went to my cousin's house to do belated egg decorating on the porch and drink wine. I finished the evening staying up late playing Rats with my friends online. Day 4.6 Deadlift: 1 x 335#, 1 x 345#, 1 x 360#, 2 x 4 x 295# <-- prompt was "work up to a heavy single, aiming for like an rpe 8-9" so I did a little 5# PR that looked much smoother than the 355# last month Pull-ups: 7, 7, 6, 6 Back extensions: 4 x 15 x 45# Cossack squats: 4 x 8 x 45# Copenhagen planks: 4 x 20s each side I did
