    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

3x5 dl 170lbs deload for upper shoulder weakness... really its a personal character thing but it just manifests itself as a upper back roundness
5x5 bp 135lbs (new pr!) shoulder never collapsed but it almost did on one rep... helps to think about pulling the bar apart from the center... grr... this is heavy... 140 next time...
95lbs bor - 10lbs more than last time but more advantageous because they were 25lbs on the end... 10, 7, 7, moved to these as i wanted something better to gauge progress with.
rc's - 21, 11, 11... waited 3 minutes in between... moved from holding onto the rack to holding a 35lb plate... stopped when i couldnt keep the weight on the ground... and no thats not a typo... 21 :P

less than two weeks from surgery... i can hear the sharks circling...

wifes taking off for a couple of days might not be able to workout on tuesday night but ill try.

Great job on the reverse crunches. If I remember correctly it was an exercise you really struggled with.

Hey wheres that gym at in kzoo? Strength Beyond Fitness? Im gonna work with a personal trainer here in lansing for 3 months till i get back from my surgery (really the doc said i could be working out in 3 weeks, im just milking it) but after that i could be driving 3 hours every saturday to watch pg bench squat and deadlift... might be worth it :)

Strength Beyond Fitness is the one. The address is 3635 East Main, Kzoo 49048

I don't know how frequently they have these competitions. They coordinate with Detroit Barbell. I need time to work with the trainer on technique then getting my numbers up. I'm still thinking it's going to be at least 1-2 years out. But who knows. I may have better technique than I think. We'll soon find out.

I will definitely let everyone know when I'll be competing. I'll take all the support I can get.

Nice numbers on the deadlift and bench!

You doing the DL and BP on the same day? Man, that is a lot of work!

Congrats!

Thanks for the encouragement because of my torn meniscus keeps me from squatting... so i deadlift three days a week 3x5. I will come back with more of a SSBT routine after surgery and vacation... depends on my recovery... what i can and cant do... gonna work on my gpp and form for a few months i think.

Nice one FGNM :twisted: . Feeling strong during a workout is a rare bonus I find, but what makes it sweeter is kicking OHPs ass!!

Take your time FGNM. Rest, recuperate and spend quality time with the family. SL & the gang aren't going anywhere.
