[MarthaF]

Kick. Some. Ass. Hope to see you in the fall

TOOCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes you will!! did you compete in the spring??

[MarthaF]

It will be fun to follow your path to 1000!

Love you slo mo. It makes the path all the better having you at my side!! <333

[MarthaF]

Impressed. Looking forward to following this. Let's all make "strengthlifting" a household word. It's worth the time invested in the explanation for non-lifters ("weightlifting" versus "powerlifting" versus "stengthlifting").

Thanks! I aim to please!

Hahaha I still feel awkward saying "strengthlifting" but hey, now that we have a USSL federation, gotta run with it!

[MarthaF]

Go get 'em Marth...

Won't stop until I'm the strongest bitch in the city. :-D

[MarthaF]

You'll do well. Keep plugging away!

Thanks wawa ^_^ I shall, I shall.

Ryan has me doing a slight deload in order to transition me into intermediate programming. First heavy day of HLM but I'm not pushing my limits yet so still don't have a concept of what this "heavy" entails. Pretty smooth workout.

He is sooo much more conservative with my programming than I was when I was on my own. I'm itching to hit some PR's again but I'm also thankful that I never feel like I'm dying while working out sooo..

Hip flexor pain/inflammation---seems like a common problem people run into? Anyone have any fix/idea what the cause is? It's while I squat, usually eventually goes away after I'm done with my warm ups. I haven't really tried the whole ibuprofen loading fix thing, I got kinda light headed/dizzy taking so much ibuprofen when I tried it last time this problem flared up.

bane looks like he knows his way around a squat rack. batman looks like he knows his way around a running track. Of course Bane's got the better bum

Oh Dave...you better compete!! Doesn't matter what numbers you are putting up at the time. It's great to test your 1RM and set some PR's and compare how you do from one meet to another.
