October 28, 2010
Workout B (70%)
Fit X 5 (Light Squat & Bench)

Round 1: Squat 45, Bench 45, Dead 110, C&P 50
Round 2: Squat 50, Bench 50, Dead 120, C&P 55
Round 3: Squat 55, Bench 55, Dead 135, C&P 60
Round 4: Squat 60, Bench 60, Dead 150, C&P 65
Round 5: Squat 65, Bench 65, Dead 165, C&P 75

Okay...HOLY CRAP!!!

I absolutely cannot believe I deadlifted 165 lbs and did NOT have to change my grip...Last "go around", I was changing my grip at 120 lbs...My C&P was just fine...Last 3 reps of my 5th set (75 lbs) were a little uglyish, but not really...

Today, I worked my absolute ass off...

Taking the next 2 days off for our event on Sunday...And if I don't kill myself doing grace, I shall return to log how it all went...

Muscles For Mammograms Competition/Event
Olympic Lift "Grace" for time


I have met "Grace"...
I have done "Grace"...
And I have come to the same conclusion as ANYONE else that knows "Grace"...

"Grace" is a BITCH and deserves to DIE!!!

Yeah, this was TOUGH...But I did it...Clean & Press, 50 lbs, 30 reps, 2 minutes 52 seconds...I took 3rd place...

Our 14 year old daughter took 1st place with 45 lbs x 30 with a time of 2 minutes flat...Even our 9 year old little boy did this lift...And YEAH, he got his at 15 lbs x 30...I was proud of BOTH of them...

I tweaked my left arm from shoulder to mid forearm...Bending it and straightening it hurts but I can...Lifting heavy things while grasping something hurts worse and I have to use my right arm to assist my left arm to even pick up a glass of water...

Workout B (70%)
Fit X 5 (TOTAL RESET)

Round 1: Squat 45, Bench 45, Dead .95, C&P 45
Round 2: Squat 45, Bench 45, Dead 105, C&P 45
Round 3: Squat 45, Bench 45, Dead 115, C&P 45
Round 4: Squat 50, Bench 50, C&P 50, Dead 130
Round 5: Squat 55, Bench 55, C&P 55, Dead 145

Arms....10 x 5 @ 10 lbs
Calves..10 x 5 @ 95 lbs

So taking THIRTY NINE DAYS OFF due to the forearm injury was NOT a good idea AT ALL!!!

I did all 5 rounds but by damn, I WAS HURTING...I even cried ( ISH ) on my 3rd C&P set...The forearm STILL has NOT healed 100% and that was quite obvious...This time, however, I am NOT going to "let it heal"...I AM going to WORK THROUGH IT to heal it...On my 4th set I changed my dead's being done after my C&P to see if that helped in stretching the forearm after C&P...It didn't "do the trick", but it DID help in stretching it out...

I actually felt like I did the first time I stepped foot in the gym...I had 2 left feet and felt VERY weak...But I did it and that is what matters to me...
