AugustaAdaByron Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 That I did. I think I was around 2500-3000 calories yesterday! Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment

Alanna Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Eat more, bench more . Hope the microloading goes well for you--I've been working my way up 1 kg every 1 to 3 bench sessions for a while now. It adds up . 1 Quote -:- THE LIONESS -:- Challenge 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 Link to comment
AugustaAdaByron Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I think I'll keep the same weight for bench next time. I could barely do the 5 reps and I think one of them in the last set was assisted. I didn't expect 1kg to make that much difference. I hope it was just a bad day.

AugustaAdaByron Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I've been feeling down lately and I've been trying to ignore it but it isn't working. Today I could barely concentrate at work and I'm far behind on what I should have finished. I was hoping for a good training session tonight but that didn't happen either. I recorded all lifts and my form on deadlifts was horrible on any set other than the warm-up.

Do you have any support (i.e., people to talk to) in your new home? Try not to beat yourself up about the lifts--no need to add another source of stress. I had to look up zombie squats--I'll have to give those a try at some point! 1 Quote -:- THE LIONESS -:- Challenge 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 Link to comment

AugustaAdaByron Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Horrible day in general. The fact that the gym was so crowded that there was no fresh air but only the smell of sweat during the first hour until the a/c started working didn't help at all. Workout from Tuesday 3/3/2015 Hyperextensions x10 supersetted with 45s planks x3 Overhead Pause Squats I had to use a different spot at the gym and a different bar than the one I normally use to do squats. That combined with Overhead Pause Squats turned out to be a disaster. The first bar I took was too short and I couldn't get into correct form, no lockout of my arms and the bar was hovering over my head. I did a couple of reps, figured out there was no way I could use that bar and stopped to take another one. With the other bar it went like this. I did one set at 15kg. 15kg x10 (+2 not paused). I'm pretty sure that the pauses were not as long as they were supposed to be in that or in any other set. Then went for another set at 15kg. (I was supposed to do 15kg x10x3) I did about 3 reps before the bar started hovering over my head again and the 4th rep wasn't even close to parallel. I removed all weights from the bar and did. 10kg x10 Then I added the 1.25kg plates and did. 12.5kg x10 A lot of wrist discomfort during the overhead squats. Squats 25kg x10 (figured since I had already done a few sets of overhead squats I wouldn't start with the bar)35kg x540kg x545kg x5x5 (somewhere during the last set you could breathe at the gym again)55kg x3x2 Squats went as they were supposed to go. Deadlifts from above knee 50kg x5x560kg x3x2 Deadlifts went surprisingly good. No effort at all. Bench Press 20kg x1027.5kg x532.5kg x5x537.5kg x1 (+1 with help from the spotter)37.5kg x1 with help from the spotter37.5kg x1 with help from the spotter DB Chest supported row 11kg x10x4 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment

AugustaAdaByron Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Starting to think that DOMS doesn't come from lifting but from BW circuit.Anyway, did BW circuit again. Time 16:03. Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment

I miss the bouncy bumper plates though, they're half the fun of deadlifts. But at least my back looks a lot better now!

My legs felt barely functional during the deadlifts.
