So, YAY ME, next 100% workout day is a 3x3...I am SOOO weak...WTF?!?! The harder I try the more backwards I seem to go...Even though my wall last go around on my bench was 105 lbs, last week it went up like it was an empty bar...I REALLY thought this week's 110 lbs were ALL gonna go up...Guess its true, just when a person thinks they are doing good, they get slapped in the face with reality...Back ye must go and start AGAIN...That's ok...At least I know next week the weight will go up for a 3x3, right?!?!

As you see, I struggled with my 115 Bench...Wound up doing singles because I absolutely REFUSED to let the 115 win...I think I tied with the 115 and will take it back a notch to 110 lb Bench...I miscalculated it anyway...

Doesn't matter how bad it hurts...I will work through it...

August 26, 2011...Happy Birthday To Me...

Trained clients most of the day...

Worked with the bag after the last client left for 15 minutes...Wanted to get 30 minutes in, but wrist isn't gonna allow it...Gotta let the bones heal over night to hit it again tomorrow for about 45 minutes...Yeah, I WILL CONQUER THE BAG...

So this workout I procrastinated ALL DAY LONG, but I FINALLY did it....V. wasn't ready just as much as me...Oh well, those days happen...

Even with sore wrists from punching the bag during my fight training, I pushed through my workout....V. had to hand off my last set of Benches, but I managed through...

All weights going up 5 lbs on Monday, so I am a happy camper...

P Row...145x3, 145x3 (bad form), 130x3
Calf Raise....................145x10x3

All was good for the most part...The 110 lb Bench was tough with my wrist hurting and I was rolling my hands back to keep pressure off them, where normally my hands are perfectly straight...1 rep, I let my breath out too soon while it was on my chest and .V. had to take it...Feels like a bruise from hell, but there won't be one...After I let my breath out I couldn't get "back under" it...Rested the wrists for a minute and redid the set with no problem.

Pendlay Rows are now due for a reset...I got the 145 lbs up, but snapping my shoulders to get it there, so its time...130 lbs I did without any issues...

All in all, I am happy with the workout...

Video Taking Day for my Deadlift...Final pictures for a contest I am in on OLM...

Warm Up...

135 x 5...
165 x 3...FIRST PR...A long time ago...When the contest on OLM started...
195 x 1...

OLD PR was 205 lbs...Last week or week before...

225 x F...

210 x 1...The only reason I got this was because .V. lied to me and told me it was 205 lbs which I had done before, so up it went...Well, when that happened, what was I to do, yanno...

215 x 1...
220 x 1...Locked out but looked VERY shitty...So...

220 x 1 (actually my 2nd)...For my final lift...Lockout was better but the release was still SHITTY...

Who cares...I FREAKIN' DID IT...I hit 3 NEW PRs today...55 lb improvement from my first video of 165 lbs when that contest started...

Whats up mrs. V?? Post the vid of the dead lifts ... Work outs are looking good! what are your goals out of curiosity I did not see them above... looks like your doing a lot of 1rm stuff and concentrating on PR's.

My 160x5 Dead...Which was my 1RM at the time...3 months ago...

tribalmedic150's Channel - YouTube

This is my 220 lb Dead from yesterday...Damn near blacked out so I dropped it after lockout..I had PUKEAGE at 210 lbs just 30 minutes prior to this pull...

tribalmedic150's Channel - YouTube

The 1RM's are because I have been in 2 contests running simultaneously...I started one contest and midway through it another one started...The end of the first contest was midway through the second contest...Now at the end of the one that ended today actually, I have started in the one here with EK...

My goals are simple...I don't want to live forever...I want to have QUALITY just like my hubby .V....

I would have been dead back in 1998 at 500lbs had I not done something to change my eating ways...

Then when I met .V. I was STILL a squishy 170lbs...Been basically busting my ass for the past 2 years, with a break here and there...The breaks I felt like shit, so I know not to do that again unless its a de conditioning phase I have to let my body go through to progress farther...

I just want to be strong...I want to be healthy...I want my kids to be proud of me when I go to their events at school...And most of all, I want to keep my husband's attention when I am 60 years old...I feel better and look better today than when I was 20, 30 and even 40...So our methods HAVE to be working...

Well, our clients seem to think they work too, so that's a plus...

Oh yeah...There is also a "neighbor's" ass that I plan on kicking in the next year or so...IF NOT SOONER...So, I need to be VERY strong to do that...He will think of a song as I am knocking his ass down...
