Abby tries LP

[Geoff Bischoff]

Session 38 (20211025)

Smashing day.

SQT 285x3

Gorgeous triple here ... and coincidentally, 285 was her lifetime best 1RM prior to this session.

BNC 160x3 (3PR!)

Killer work here. I thought her lifetime best was 160, but she re-checked her log from before we started working together, and now informs me that she hit 165x1 about a year ago. No problem: We'll be repping her 1RM soon.

Deadlift: 320x3 (3PR! Gross Load PR!)

320 is more than she's ever had on the bar, and her first time touching it, she tripled it.

Stellar day all around for Abby.

Session 39 (20211027)

SQT 245x2x3

Supposed to be 4 sets of 5 but her knee is tweaky. Gonna have to watch this.

BNC 135x3x3

PRS 95x5, 4, 4

Lost a rep here.

DLT 290x4x2 (4PR!)

[Geoff Bischoff]

Session 40 (20211031)

Tried for a very low-volume day with new PR weights. The only thing that successfully got done:

SQT 290x1 (PR!)

[Geoff Bischoff]

Session 41 (20211103)

SQT 265x5 (5PR!), 185x5
BNC 145x5 (5PR!), 105x5
PRS 102.5x4 ( ), 85x5
DLT 280x5 (5PR!), 225x5

Some sneaky PRs while she awaits word from her doctor apt re: knee.

Session 42 (20211108)

SQT 270x5 (5PR!), 190x5
PRS 102.5x5 (5PR!), 85x5
BNC 147.5x2 ( ), 105x5
DLT 285x5 (5PR!), 225x5

More sneaky PRs. MRI coming up later in the week.

[Geoff Bischoff]

Session 43 (20211119)

MRI shows some fraying in some of the knee tendons. Doc thinks a week of nothing at all + RICE/Ibuprofen therapy, followed by a ramp-up, should be enough to get through. So we're doing an accelerated LP from way low.
