Emerald_Dragonfly Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Ummm.... placeholder for an actual challenge? It is zero week and all...and I lifted today, and I have a compulsion to post about it. Deload week, in pounds: Deadlift 2 x 5 at 45 RDL 1 x 5 at 95 3 x 5 at 135 OHP (from yesterday - whoopsies) 3 x 5 at 45 power rack was occupado, so I used the incline bench, and I don't care who looked at me cock-eyed. Random comment from a regular: "I've never seen you with your hair down before." ??? peace out, biddies. 8 Quote ~Emerald_Dragonfly Level 13 Warrior Link to comment
Jord Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I always wear my hair up so when I wear it down once every 3 months people FLIP THEIR SHIT. Dude, it was there before. But it to make a comment at the gym? Pfffft. 2 Quote Jǫrð, Delvian Nomad - Level 12 { Battle Log } Link to comment

Lol...thanks! So it's been a while - I am blaming zero week. I trained Thursday, doing both bench and squats because I knew that I wouldn't be able to go to the gym on Friday. Gym was fine, although AGAIN a guy decided that he would choose - of the FIVE empty benches - the one directly behind the squat rack. While I was in it. Reeeeediculous, that crap is. (It's not like I have a great booty, just a regular one - I seriously don't understand why this continues to happen to me.) Home Gym update - we are about halfway finished installing the walls. I am SUPER pleased and will post pics tomorrow. The material is a tad bit difficult to work with, since we are using it outside of spec, but it looks nice and clean, which is what I wanted. We ended up getting it for $0.39 per sq foot, so a little installation difficulty is definitely worth it!!! also....OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG - my power cage arrived this week!!!!!! Since the floor isn't installed yet, it is still in the box and in the storage shed, but I am super duper excited. I am going to do ALL THE CURLZ in it, too! ;-) Cutting is going well. I have tracked each day (except for some reason last Sunday; I will check the husband's MFP to see what he ate and try to recreate it. Finally - I need to actually write out my goals for this challenge. That is going on tomorrow's to-do list. 8 Quote ~Emerald_Dragonfly Level 13 Warrior Link to comment

Emerald_Dragonfly Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Goals: 1. Finish the HomeGym Training Studio aka PALACE OF GAINZ. Post pics to share my excitement. 2. Track all the food while sticking to 1780 cal/day. I am okay with 100 cal deviation either way as long as a good faith effort is made. 3. Deal with the people at the gym until my space is finished and trainable. Training Studio two Fridays ago Training Studio this past Friday - insulation installed! (4 walls + ceiling = a crap ton of work) Training Studio Today! The walls are about 60% clad. We ended up using engineered flooring for the walls because we didn't want the work of drywall, plus the area is humid, and we only run the A/C when we are in it, so drywall is a poor choice. Yesterday went really well, but we ran into a bit of a stumbling block today with a stubborn wall stud (aka - a break in the space-time continuum where the laws of physics are suspended and materials react in strange and perplexing ways) and a family obligation kept us from figuring it out. So that will happen over the week or next weekend. We really got a lot accomplished!!! 10 Quote ~Emerald_Dragonfly Level 13 Warrior Link to comment
