Before, during and after.... 5 X 135# (3 sets). Hardly a big number, I know, BUT... the most I have ever moved without a spotter! I am trying to get more comfy under the bar. I was AOK. So I will try to keep increasing my 'solo' weight in the same increments at my weights with Jerimiah.... so they won't ever be the same, but as long as I move with JW, I also move alone.

Believe it or not, it's taken me a few days to relax from the "I got my CPU Card" hype of March 4th. At this rate, I still have to :
I gotta get a grip. Or maybe, just maybe....this is why I have so much fun. I am made up of mostly feelings, after all. Why not throw some more on the fire! :) The hotel (CLICK FOR HOTEL) has a REAL gym! Super stoked. Had to wait for the squat rack, so was a bit fatigued, but I did get under the bar.
Not sure I will get there every day (it was very busy also), but I got there today, and today is all there is, so far. :) Won't be getting to the gym today. Already @ the airport (7:30 AM, and at the gate...), and arrive to DFW just in time to check in and get ready for cocktails.
It's funny how addicted I have become to the gym. It isn't even just that I notice if I don't go (after the fact), but...I actually CRAVE it. Such a strange little anticipation feeling... I'd go so far as to say an urgency. Anyway; @ a trade show for 4 days, so ... I brought gym stuff, but doubt I'll really get into the gym. Let's see how it goes! I got a few training plans from J as an outcome of a recent bet....
Not as good as the real deal, but better than free-style. :) And my quads hurt, so.... there's that.... New targets for 2016! (by end of June, actually...)
What a great year. I could go on and on. I guess what's what this blog is, after all. My journal of meanderings. :)
Anyhoo.... I hit my 'body weight back squat' target; actually did 165#. I did not get the pull up. I am still quite happy with progress. On to 2016! I made my target of body-weight squat a week ago. So... I was early! So last night we did a run to hit my 1RM. And... it's 165#... here is the video. I failed out at 170 # (not posting that vid!!), and am pleased that I saw it through!
Now I just to squeeze out that chin up in 2015.... |
