25 Aug. 2014 - Mon Lunges: 2 x 10 x bw Squat: 10 x 95 lbs, 135 lbs, 5 x 145 lbs, 165 lbs, 8 x 185 lbs BB Rows: 12 x 55 lbs, 65 lbs, 65 lbs Hips still a little tender, but much better so hit some easy squats up today.

24 Aug 2014 - Sun Bench: 10 x bar, 75 lbs, 95 lbs, 5 x 115 lbs, 1 x 125 lbs, 135 lbs, 140 lbs, f x 145 lbs Band Assisted Chins: 10, 15, 16, 15 One arm shoulder press: 6, 6, 6 x 40 lbs Heavy bench today just to see where I'm at. Fairly happy with it, just wish I'd gotten that last one. Other than that, didn'tdo any leg stuff because my hips still suck

21 Aug 2014 - Thurs Bench: warm-ups, 4 x 4 x 105 lbs DB Shoulder Pres: warm ups, 3 x 8 x 30s Skull Crushers: 4 x 12 x 45 lbs DB Curl: 1 x 35 x 10s Planks Yeah, good day today. Well, other than my routine kinda crumbling. My kick ass trainer promised to write me a new one though. One my crippled ass can handle

Absolutely C.O.! The yoga I take is at a climbing gym as well so it is especially catered to climbers 19 Aug 2014 - Tuesday A bunch of Strongman clubs and groups got together for a meeting tonight, then we all worked out afterwards so its off routine, but this is what I did: Yoke: 100 ft x 270 lbs, 100 ft x 360 lbs, 10 ft x 470 lbs (yes, that is only a tenth of previous walks!) Farmers Frame Carry: total fail, the frame they have weighs 502 lbs so I couldn't budge the thing at all. Tried a few times and even had them lift it to see if I could even just hold that weight and I could not. Squat: 8 x 135 lbs, 8 x 185 lbs, 2 x 225 lbs, then with knees wrapped and belt on 10 x 205 lbs! Awesome. Srsly, those three little things took 2 hours! It was great, I love working out with this group of people, its too bad they are 60 miles south of me

Nice, GHR are my favorite hamstring exercise. I need to buy one of those eventually for Kelly's garage gym. Also, bicep curls? Really? J/K. Nice training!

17 Aug 2014 - Sunday Pause Squats: 4 x 4 x 155 lbs Bench: 4 x 4 x 105 lbs Pause Bench: 3 x 5 x 90 lbs DB Shrugs: 2 x 12 x 40s BB Rows: 5 x 12 x 65 lbs Kettlebell Swings: 3 x 20 x 70 lbs DL: 12 x 1 x 205 lbs So, yeah, first week into this routine and I had to skip Thursdays session. Bad pain days. Back at it today though

Sup Scott! I know you, too 12 Aug 2014 - Tues Squats: warm-up, 3 x 6 x 170 lbs Bench: 2 x 12 x 70 lbs BB Shoulder Press: 2 x 10 x 55 lbs (kinda lost it on the last couple reps ...) SLDL: 4 x 5 x 135 lbs Assisted Chins: 2 x 10 with band Skull Crushers: 4 x 15 x 45 lbs Curls: 1 x 30 x 10 lbs Ab Roll-Outs: 2 x 8 x not all the way down, my abs are sad Farmers Holds: 2 x 30 secs x 100 lbs each hand Those Farmers Holds were supposed to be Farmers Walks, but it was raining outside so that got axed. My biceps are also painfully weak, but I have no problem with that .

Please update little bits more often! Its hard to follow so many days at once

11 Aug 2014 - Monday Yoga today, how I've missed it since I stopped doing it a year ago! I could just do that and be happy. Okay, I'm lying. I'd miss the iron too much if I stopped lifting.

10 Aug 2014 - Sunday Pause Squats (3 count): 3 x 6 x 140 lbs Bench: 3 x 6 x 100 lbs Pause Bench (5 count): 3 x 5 x 85 lbs DB Shrugs: 2 x 10 x 45s BB Rows: 3 x 15 x 55 lbs Kettle Bell Swings: 3 x 15 x 70 lbs (double 35's) Tire Flips: 3 x 10 x ~350 pound tire

8 Aug 2014 - Fri Sweet sweet yoga this morning. And its my day off work so time to get all the stuffs done!

7 Aug 2014 - Thur Well, I start a new routine on Sunday so today was mostly just playin' around the gym. Climb (boulder) for about an hour. Bench: 10 x bar, 65 lbs, 95 lbs, 105 lbs Chins: 2, 2, 1 - some day I'll be able to rep these out without assistance! BB Bent Rows: 15 x bar, 55 lbs, 55 lbs Kettle Bell Swings: 15 x 50 lbs, 50 lbs, 62 lbs Now off to work. I promised myself I'd keep the complaing to a minimum, but that is just not possible for me! I have Lupus (doctors used to think it was RA for those who knew me awhile ago) and what that means is I am in a fair amount of pain a fair amount of time. Today and for the last week its been lower spine. Today not as bad as a few ago, but enough that I skipped squats.

Hey, its good to know how to fail and not be afraid of it! Sadly proud of this super fail. Just straight-up lost my balance at the top and down I went! . This was at the Austin Simple Fit Open 26 July 2014.

Good to see you still hitting the iron! But no posts since June??? You better not have gotten injured!

New log to go with my new motivation! Just finished up a Powerlifting meet last week as a member of the Plant Built team (hooray) and had a lovely de-load week. Now its time to get back to it! One of my new goals is to work on my flexibility and core strength so in that vein: 6 Aug 2014 - Wed 1 hour yoga, it kicked my trash. I haven't sweat that much in a long time and I just shook the whole time. Gonna keep this in the routine.

Take it easy on that shoulder!

Okay, so I haven't been on the forum for awhile, but I got me a new tank-top and had to show it off! http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af12/crystalfrostfire/2011Summer-Dec/Me3-1.jpg http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af12/crystalfrostfire/2011Summer-Dec/Me2-1.jpg Playin' at looking tough http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af12/crystalfrostfire/2011Summer-Dec/Me1-1.jpg Now I want to see everyone else with their VBB shirts on!!
