Granny's Log (deb)

That sure is a lot of work, most hit the shoulders. I often feel fine then wake up with a painful shoulder. I read something to try for that is to wear a sweatshirt to bed and pin the bottom of the sleeve down near the waist to keep your arm from going under your head while you sleep.Havent tried it myself.

I am doing a little hypertrophy; emphasis on back/legs. Will cut sets as needed, idk wth is wrong w/my knee - it kinda is behind the knee, and/or the adductor. Had to cut out a squat set today. I only do what I can do.

C2 20 minute row for the knee/ligament whatever.

Lady who's a trainer told me yesterday to strengthen the entire area, and try to twist my lower leg inward for medial meniscus (she thinks it is) and bear weight. During the row if I point my toes out, I can feel it - if I pigeon toe - its much better. IDK.

Been trying to gain a little weight to put on some muscle - always back down to the same old weight, I'm like, stuck here.

Does anyone know if there a bumper+metal loading convention poster somewhere? I've explained to three people while working at gym, about loading way more metal weight than the skinny 10# bumper on each side, adding, why don't you just put the 25's bumpers on??? They seem to not be getting it. ???

Comp Squat 150-155x6, 135
150x6 @8

I left my belt on the leg extension, went for my second set (it was 2 minutes later), some old guy moved it and sat down. wth? I kept thinking I'll get back to it, but shit, a lot of old people enjoy sitting there, even after I was finished with everything, so skipped; not going to kill me.

(used the ladies bar, 15key, not sweating it; IDK if the guy that was pressing there realized he was using a ladies bar?? Maybe they should all be pink, although they are shorter - a LOT shorter, and tiny diameter)

Across town in Vero bc I had an appointment afterward.
I love how people from my gym say hi and tell me I'll find that Vero has better equipment (yeah; I trained there 6-8 months before going back to where I am now...where once again, I'm having knee issues.
I can't force my gym to buy good stuff; especially when people don't care for what has already been bought. I bought bar clips, pink - spring clips hurt my arthritis - they're gone, someone took them. Why are people such asshats?)

1" Deficit DL Set a 6RM, I was careful with the torn meniscus, 190 was more like an 8.5 though, felt the ham behind knee after, skipped another try and backdowns... that tiny bit seemed to scare my gymmates, where's waldo??
190x6 @8.5

On the press I'm pretty tight - last thing I do before starting to press is squeeze my legs and butt (yeah, you can tell on video bc you can see all the lumps / cellulite - sorry TMI but not my problem, nowhere in the blue book does it say you must have a perfect ass to press (thank you Mark).

[tiny&mighty]

I once read that 95% of women aged 15 and above have cellulite. Just a normal side effect of being female I guess. Thankfully, pressing can add an entertainment value to jiggly butt fat, as in this fifth rep.

You two keep me laughing! And do a lot of good work!

LOL - nice grind! THAT'S WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT.
I am not lifting as heavy these days...but when I was, the grind jiggle was the least of my worries - I just wanted to make the reps. Potentially dropping a rep on someone else in the globo, that's THEIR problem!!

(also you have no fat to speak of!)

[tiny&mighty]

When I recorded this, it was to immortalize a landmark session in my strength training journey. But as it turns out, I only re-watch it because the jiggle makes me giggle every single time! It also tends to happen to the first rep of my deadlift sets, but it is not nearly as funny.
