3_10_19 Sunday "realization" week. I thought I'd be too trashed/tired to do this today but I was wrong. Felt pretty good. Apparently I've gotten much stronger.
Smashed squat and comp style bench e1rm (195-200 and 125-130) with lifetime pretty easy PRs at 207# and 130#.

• Squat, I only missed 210 because I became a wuss and slowed my descent so no bounce and my upper back lost tightness, legs felt fine-(I need to stop skipping supplementary upper back work).
• Bench went fine. I probably should have made another attempt looking at the video, and pause was probably a little short.
• DL I took too many attempts and ended at a sloppy 260# off my toes; matches my lifetime PR from 10 yrs ago, but 10 yrs ago I had a lot of trouble, multiple hitches, etc. This time MUCH easier; and like always with DL, when I'm done I'm DONE - bar wouldn't budge at 265#, go figure.

Squat	190x1 @8	195x1 @9	207x1 @10
Bench	120x1 @8	125x1 @9	130x1 @10
DL	245x1 @8	255x1 @9	260x1 @10

Bench & DL on IG. Back to the trenches!!
And my husband just looked at my lifts and said dl was sloppy and he didn’t think my lifts were true @10, they were way too easy. Slacker granny strikes again! Ha

3_12_19 Tuesday (low stress week??)
Still fighting the ick of everyone around.... the receptionist was out with a virus Monday but came in ill yesterday. I was having trouble w/stomach & getting my food down, headache, felt like crap. Spring, bring it!
Squat, felt VERY light after Sunday. But DYING from the cardio effect of 10's!
AMRAP - evidently I do NOT pick the correct weights for these, picked up 30#, seemed heavy, but my legs & triceps were also pumped from the 10s - should have done 30# dumbbells for the AMRAP, was probably a silly sight.

Squat	135x10 @7	142x10 @8	148x10 @9
Press	60x10 @7	63x10 @8	65x10 @9
DB Flat Bench	25(50# total)x25	25x12x2sets

3_14_19 Thursday IDK what I'm doing.
Sumo - sumo?? Never done, and realize I. DO. NOT. LIKE. Probably a little low on weight but since I've never done these, decided to err on the "furry" side.
Feet up, missing that leg drive.
Leg press, haven't done in forever. Kind of cruel after squat 10s.
Last few days I've revisited that Girl Talk All Day mashup.

Sumo DL	135x10 @7	145x10 @8	150x10 @9
Feet Up Bench	85x10 @7	90x10 @8	100x10 @9
Leg Press	200x12 (AMRAP)	186x12 @8	186x12 @8

3_16_19 Saturday more exercises I haven't done in a while or ever.
Pleased to find my front rack isn't pure shit...I did 135# after the 95x10, and it was EASY. when did THAT happen? It's on IG. So 95#x10@9 was too light, probably ALL too light. Damn! Front squats 10+0 - no jerks, sad.
Reverse grip bench, weird.

Front Squat	75x10 @7	85x10 @8	95x10 @9
Reverse Grip Bench	75x10 @7	85x10 @8	90x10 @9
Incline Bench	75x16 (AMRAP)	73x12x2sets

3_17_19 Sunday Week 2 was only 3 days, started week 3 a few days early because I'll be out of town next weekend (looking to fit in 3 days of training, take my rest days then).

All kinds of unaccustomed DOMS in upper back/lats!!! Supposed to squat & press @8 til @9 - squat took a while (dropped 5% due to fatigue/no rest between days), press was right there @9, possibly because I didn't drop 5% plus supersetted w/bench which was an AMRAP?

I went up to 30s (60#total) for that. IDK I can only make 5# jumps. Supposed to figure e1rm then do 63%x12x3 which was, what, 57, 58? So 60# again.

And Bigmouth Strikes Again, I insulted some guy who was trying to coach his significant other - except he was going to hurt her (she could barely quarter squat 45#: highbar, and broke hips wayyy before bending knees so way off balance. The guy then puts 95# on her bar! - lost her balance and she fell). So I told him, if you're highbar, she's breaking at the hips and dropping her chest way before knees bend which is why she's way off balance). He then dropped her weight to 65# (but w/a bar pad, that'll help right?), she did one rep to correct depth but was not strong enough to get up: his solution was, just quarter squat 3 reps, then he gave up and they left. wth? She CAN DO IT, just not at that weight.
I really should learn to shut up, but the 'mom' side of my brain is screaming Danger Will Robinson!

Squat	135x6 @6	145x6 @7	152x6 @8	152x6x4
Press	60x6 @6	65x6 @7	68x6 @8	68x5 @9
DB Flat Bench	30sx16	30sx12x3

Unless they're new to your gym, they should recognize you as someone with cred.

I agree that "danger" was they key word here.

No idea how I'm viewed, probably as a knowitall nosy jerk at times. Lions don't worry what sheep think; since SS et al, I've gotten nothing but stronger - but how would they know that, and strength is the focus of few women; many more in the "stick-thin-with-tits-if-possible" & "cardio" crowd; I'm an anomaly there.

I missed this at the time - that's really nice going! Nice bench you've got there, and that 260 DL to boot.

3_19_19 Tuesday FULL MOON.

• Deadlift all ok (I thought), yet I noticed 3 guys looking w/weird expressions, so IDK if I was doing something wrong. Could have done another set but would lose too much form.
• Somehow I messed up bench, should have done 102x6 @8 but did 106x6 @8. TWICE. First set ok, second set definitely 8.5. Now what?
• I misloaded leg press at 185 rather than 195, because I wrote down what I'm supposed to do and lost it - so cell, and I can't see. wth?

I wish there was a better way to remember 1RM and e1RM.

Deadlift	190x6 @6	198x6 @7	206x6 @8	206x6 @9
Comp Bench	95x6 @6	100x6 @7	106x6 @8	106x6 @9
Leg Press	210x20 AMRAP	185x12x3 sets
