[MarthaF]

1x3 80
1x1 95

I haven't squatted 250 since October...10 months ago...I am finally in gainz territory. Everything felt harder than it should have, cuz I slept past 3am and my only meal of the day was a quart of 2% milk.

I feel like I strained my right rhomboid. It's been bothering me the last two workouts and today it really hurts.

I am very thankful my body was able to get through this workout even though I seem to be torturing it. I need to get my shit together.

1x5 105

Bravo!

Oh :-( What happened?

Just weird random things - back popped at the bottom of a squat warmup and took me about 3 weeks to get from not able to get out of bed by myself back to working weights. The next week I pulled something while warmup up deadlifts, and that one is still not really gone, but it doesn't seem to be affecting training really. *shrug*

Nice lifts!

Bravo!

Thanks Hector ^_^ Ryan told me to switch to 2x3 or 3x3 but I just want to keep hitting 5RM PRs...and it also takes less time :-X

Ahhh fuck that sounds terrible!!!! I hope it heals up soon. Random injuries suck but I guess sumo is better than nothing... ;-P

And thanks!!

What *can't* those booty gainz do?

Well, not much outside of powerlifting :-X

Does ":-X" mean "I'm lying and I know it?"

Thrilling to see you hitting triple digit press PRs!!!!!

I don't know man, if they can do anything else I don't know it yet.

Is it? Do you jump and scream for joy when you read my log and find bolded numbers under "Overhead Press"?

Only if the bolder numbers are triple digit and for the press.
But otherwise, yes, we all do.
