AugustaAdaByron Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Not sure if it has anything to do with the hook grip today but tonight my index finger and middle finger are sore and stiff.I was really looking forward to the Shannara Chronicles only to find the lead kid is a whiney, pretty boy and is pissing me off.

peelout Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Is that building heated or do you lift in the cold? 1 Quote Current Challenge We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Diet is 80% of losing weight, exercise is 80% of motivation. The only thing I am 100% sure of is my ability to be wrong. Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Tried a tactic at work today, because yes she did start again with the Friday thing. I put my hand on her shoulder, looked down at her but straight in the eye, used her first name instead of the usual Mrs A we all call her and said "No Lillian, I will not be here on Friday, you know this to be true, you will have to figure something else out". Well, blow me down she backed off and said they would try combining my last classes in with the other teachers, being the last day they only play games anyway. Now why the bloody hell couldn't she have gone with that plan when one of the other teachers brought it up Monday?Felt pretty pleased with myself, because I felt grown up doing that. Yeah I know right, I am 44 and felt like I adulted myself well in a work situation instead of feeling inferior and child like. Although I am missing my DLs tonight because my head feels like it is going to implode. I did not drink enough at work today and I feel really icky. 3 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Madcow Week 7 Wednesday on a Thursday 21.01.2015Warm Up:The usual shinnanigans.Squats:1x5@40kg1x5@50kg2x5@60kgOHP:1x5@20kg1x5@25kg1x5@30kg1x5@35kg (these were all push press because I was already knackered)Deadlift:1x5@70kg1x5@80kg1x5@95kg3x2@110kgOMFuckingG! I was so tired when I got home from work, I seriously was considering not even doing this workout, but two of me Lads were out working on one of the quads so I kinda had company. I was shattered already and the thought of 110kg DL's, I was sceptical. Squats quite ordinary, OHP, we'll push press the last set, my body was ready to give up. Then I thought do the first set of DL's.....easy as Bro. Second set, still pulling it off the floor no worries, third set, still pulling it without problems. Fourth set, I belted up and fuck me, the bar came off the floor, the second rep was a little rough but I got it all the way to lock out, had a rest, belted up and jeebus, that thing came up again and again. Had another rest and thought fuck it I only got to do one more pull and I have done my 5. 2 more reps, just freaking awesome. So besides being absolutely beyond tired I am well chuffed with 110kg Deads! I will admit to skipping Shits and Gigs, but tonight I don't care! I am happy! 4 Quote Wait! What............?
