Hey! I'm Zoe, and I think it's about time I start tracking my training and diet correctly so I can see the best results possible. I competed in powerlifting for the first time last month and now I'm even more motivated to lift some HEAVY weights. Here are my totals from the meet: I set the MD state record in my weight class!
My goal this year is to hit 300+lbs. in both squat and deadlift. And for bench I'd like to press 135lbs. I figure if I went from never going to the gym to competing in powerlifting in one year, then these numbers aren't THAT intimidating. I also plan to start a slow cut next week. I just want to get down to about 123lbs and see if it effects my strength then go from there. I welcome any advice and criticisms on my training and diet, whatever I need to reach these goals.

Wednesday 1/18 Did tabata intervals in the garage of our "house" with the bf. We live in the 2nd floor apartment above an autobody shop/ paint shop/ glass shop/ hip-hop studio. We are regularly asked what the hell we're doing since we look like a weird prison workout session. Sledgehammer hits Push-ups BB rows tricep dips + hung up some chains from one of the rafters to do "trx" style rows and presses.
I really need to do more cardio like this, I have no endurance whatsoever.

Still tweaking the cutting diet, right now I'm TRYING to hit 2250 cals a day but usually going over a little bit. My macros are 193.5 g protein, 70g fat, 211.5 g carbs. I almost ALWAYS go over in carbs.
Despite this, I think I've lost almost a pound within the last week but I still need to clean up my diet a bit.
Cardio= 2 Tabata intervals including kettlebell front swings, kettlebell cleans, trx strap rows, push-ups, box jumps, fighting ropes, leg raises
Wednesday 2/1
Since it was AMAZINGLY warm and beautiful outside I rode my bike to Druid Hill Park after work. There's a track around the lake that is about a mile long, also around the track are 3 different stations of "workout" equipment. ex: row machine, dips, pull-ups, etc. Soooo I rode 1.5-1.7 miles around the track then did a tabata at each of the stations. I did this 4 times which comes out to 4 tabata rounds and about 6 miles of cycling.
