SheLifts · 09-24-2007, 03:26 PM

Burner02 · 09-24-2007, 04:32 PM

hey SL, sorry to hear about that.

b_reed23 · 09-25-2007, 12:52 AM

sorry sweetie...you are in my thoughts and prayers

SkwatButt · 09-25-2007, 11:58 AM

Good job on the maxes, esp. the DL. 135 is intimidating because of the "big plates" on it.

Sorry for the family news. Just keep on keepin' on and look to the family for support. She's had a full life. I'll be so lucky to live that long.

Good job on the journals. Sorry for my extreme absence over here.

SheLifts · 09-25-2007, 12:07 PM

u know i still love ya. :wub:

SkwatButt · 09-25-2007, 12:12 PM

word. I gots wubs for ya too. :wub:

SheLifts · 10-01-2007, 07:54 AM

this week is going to be crappy as ever!!

sometime on friday i pulled a muscle in my left side of my chest carrying boxes and tubes. so it hindered my workout saturday and what i could actually lift. i had to do light weights that didn't allow for extension of my left arm, so yep, regular squats were out of the question.

I did a warm up, front squats, farmer's walk, hypers, seated calf raise.

i'm taking the week off to rest that muscle, plus i have my first h istorytest on saturdday. it's cover 7 chapters, from the nomads coming across the bearing straight, the french/spanish/english explorers, the french-indian war, on up the the signing of the declaration of independence and the revolutionary war and the british surrender at yorktown.

katt · 10-01-2007, 08:14 AM

Sorry about the injury

Take care and start studying.. that test sounds very hard!

SheLifts · 10-09-2007, 03:31 PM
