Deadlifts and milkshakes

Nice use of the word 'zenith'

 

[WitchCraft]

Feel better soon! You are a trooper for sticking out your work outs. I'm a huge baby and curl up in a ball and ask for sympathy from all. Nice training though!

I could probably benefit from being a little bit of a baby right now. I continue to keep training and I think its slowing down my recovery from this dang cold.

Nice use of the word 'zenith'

Notes: I trained with a female friend today she really impressed me with her benching! She hit a PR with an 85 bench.

A goal of mine that I have for the 2013 year is to get better at coaching. I feel like I have a good coaching eye but I can't get out the right words to remediate any issues on the spot.

Congrats on the PR !

Thanks! It felt like death.

 

[LegioTitan]

This log needs more squatting.

Cereal? I squat 2x a week!

Also, glad to see you back. How's Thickness doing? Still out-squatting me by 100 pounds?

I'm still so pumped about this.

 

[WitchCraft]

Banded knee walking again...

Notes: I skipped out after the deadlifting because I was feeling pretty broken and tired. My hamstrings and hips are SHOT from my last squat session.

Steve and I also spent the past weekend planning our wedding with my parents. Remember how we originally planned to have a very small, court wedding? Yeah, not happening with my parents.

I'm not telling you what you should be doing, but if my parents were doing that to me, I'd would be pissed at them.

 

[DrBdan]

The guest list tends to be the worst part of planning a wedding and the most common thing to cause arguments, especially if your parents are contributing a lot financially. I'm guessing it's a "well we HAVE to invite these people" type thing? Good luck!

 

[WitchCraft]

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm excited! We are doing some really great things but there are a lot of things that I feel guilty about financially. Our parents are helping to pay for most of it and that definitely changed the plans that I had haha

Forgot to log last night's training...

Today Steve and I will be meeting up with Keo and Babyeater somewhere in CT. I hope to hit some squat rep PRs!

 

[Pancake]

Congrats on the engagement and I can relate to the wedding stress as my fiance and I are currently planning also. Mom wants me to invite people I don't know or barely know. We can't afford that shit! Haha. Good luck! I'm sure you guys will have a awesome night regardless.

Thanks! We actually squared away a lot of things this past weekend. The venue, catering, and hotel rooms are booked! Now that those three things are down, there are about 8 million other things to do!!!!

Notes: Steve and I met up with Kyle and Janis at a Gold's Gym in Connecticut. Kyle impressed as usual with a 475 x 2 squat. Janis was benching in the shadows since the gym was so enormous but it was great to meet her! They're a great couple (of tiny freaks) and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to train with both of them.

Also, big thanks to Janis for filming my PR!

 

[Jester]

Jealous.....

i need to crash one of these tiny people reunions one of these days

 

[livingdeadmoose]

That's awesome you got to lift with Kyle and Janis! I'd like to meet some of my fellow Sherdog lifters.
