GirlIN Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hi,Starting off my battle log tonight.I am 22. I work as an administrator a a hospital (for now) currently this is casually and shift work included. Trying to get a permanent role with normal hours This is my most recent picture. I live with my housemate J (female) who is into yoga, is a vegetarian, does lots of yoga. And my boyfriend 'Soro' Also with my dog Bu and cat Misha (who's a hussy, ran away before vet appt and got pregnant!). I have started Primal eating, and I lift weights and play women's soccer. I play defense always and love it. I can't attack at all. I have started yoga, mostly to gain some flexibility and to stretch my muscles.I'm into most things, love team sports, and all country style events, rodeos, motoX etc. I don't know ow everyone defines 'nerd' these days, but I'm no gamer. I like my books though and am a huge fan of fantasy stuff. I am addicted to tumblr as much as time allows.I have recently applied to the Australian Army, so wish me luck with my applications. I can already complete the boys fitness tests.. So, feeling confident on that side of things! I am starting Strong Lifts 5x5 tomorrow, so will start the day with my stats and day 1 progress pics. I will post new stats every 2 weeks, and pics at 6 and 12 weeks, Otherwise my posts will be fairly much like a diary I guess.That's all for my first post, too much talking lol. Quote Link to comment
GirlIN Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Day ONe,All post pics later Had a really bad day at work etc. nearly didnt go to the gym but glad I did.Age 22Height 167cmWeight 71.3kgSL 5x5Squat 60kgBench 30kgRow 30kgI now on SL you should start with rather bar. I didnt want to do this because it felt like a waste. I was very worried that I would screw up the process but I really couldn't bear going with such a lithe weight, felt like a waste. As it was the weight was great and I felt better Today's workout, Squat 60kg 5x5x5x5x5Bench 30kg 5x5x5x5x5Row 30kg 5x5x5x5x5Was pretty easy workout and I can't wait to raise the weight.

I was very worried that I would screw up the process but I really couldn't bear going with such a lithe weight, felt like a waste. As it was the weight was great and I felt better I was really torn on that issue. I just decided to go with the bar. I just figure it will get difficult soon enough. I'm looking forward to seeing your progess Quote *Flips Table*BreadMage Out! Link to comment

Excluding warm ups,SL5x5Squats 65kg 5x5x5x5x5Press 20kg 5x5x5x5x5Deadlift 50kg 5Focusing on my spelling, I type too fast on my ipad keyboard and its too small... Reading my last entry is terrible so many mistakes!! First time I have ever done barbell OHP and ... Wow! Difficult but I didnt struggle much, just getting used to the movement. My left arm is significantly weaker than my right. Felt weird only doing one set of deadlifts! Quote Link to comment

I finished the set, put the weight down and just kind of looked around. I felt...I don't know, confused, I guess. Quote *Flips Table*BreadMage Out! Link to comment

GirlIN Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I was really silly doing stronglifts two days in a row ! I was over eager and forgot about rest days! So today was rest day..But I still did 1 hour on the exercise bike, very low intensity, Some negative chin-ups, rear delt flys and went on the glute kickback machine.Keen for day three tomorrow, building up my bench press is one of my big goals.

AliceM Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Oooh, we're both doing SL, that makes me happy! Though you can squat significantly more than me, I'm very jealous!! Well done I love rest days! ha. Though I can understand wanting to go ahead and do more! I also love workout days because I can eat more... seems like I just love every day If you're on Tumblr my blog is linked in my signature Quote "Strong people don’t put others down… They lift them up" Battle Log Instagram YouTube Link to comment
