Hermione Gainser Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Awwwww. Sleep and tea! So much sleep. So much tea! Feel better soon! Thanks! ****10/19/15 20 minutes yoga - detoxy, twisty, core focused, low key 10/20/15 Finally feeling betterish so back to the gym I go. Restarting this damned program again since it's been two weeks since my last workout. Oy. Squat: 25x475x385x390x292x285x390x292x285x390x292x2 Hip thrust: 85x1085x1085x10Pull apart: 2525 Bench: 85x295x395x395x395x395x3Extension: 27.5x1027.5x927.5x9 Pull apart: 2525 Notes: Dropped my working max 10 lbs on both big lifts to compensate for lack of lifting - weights felt fine. Hip thrusts are hard right after squats - just fyi. Was feeling pooped at the end of bench so I skipped my rows. Extension and bench were superset.

No more. I started falling after rep and got really light headed. My face was so red it looked sun burnt. Bananas, y'all. BANANAS. Total time: 0:30:17:80 Definitely room for improvement, but I'm okay with how it went. Going to aim to work this with some kind of regularity. I anticipate not being able to walk soon. 3 Quote "I'm just going to remember to not eat like an asshole most of the time" - MoC three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: one must squat.- Brobert Frost Half-Elf Warrior | Current Challenge New Battle Log | Old Battle Log Special thanks to AkLulu for drawing my awesome avatar!

Yeah, the craziness of the summer has started to calm down, and I'm starting to get back into some of my old routines. I'm sure nothing else will be happening in the next few months that could possibly distract me... I'm planning on having an actual real-life challenge on the next go round too. I thought about rounding up a few of the old warriors to see if they wanted to throw into it as well.

Hermione Gainser Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 So, um, yeah. There's been some soreness. I'm not going to pretend it was mild. Or pleasant. Or that I didn't complain to boyf endlessly whilst begging him to rub my legs. Thank god for deadlift day. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to squat - ha! 10/24/15 deadlift:135x4155x3185x2205x1210x2210x2210x2210x2210x2 ohp: 55x555x555x555x555x5rdl:125x10125x8125x10 shoulder shocker 2.0:5x85x85x7 treadmill:20 min, up to 4.5 incline Notes: Lots of mobility before and after. Shared deadlift platform with someone today - chatted a bit about high bar squats and smolov. I love my gym. Dropped my "max" weight for deadlifts like I did with squats and bench and it was definitely a good call. This felt exactly like it should have. 1 Quote "I'm just going to remember to not eat like an asshole most of the time" - MoC three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: one must squat.- Brobert Frost Half-Elf Warrior | Current Challenge New Battle Log | Old Battle Log Special thanks to AkLulu for drawing my awesome avatar!

Actual footage of me post workout Saturday. And I did a watered down version of your workout, I'm sure the 10,000% humidity in the garage didn't help.
