Bella Deadlifting 95 Pounds


Perfect Set Up!

Deadlifts 6/20...

Tonight we did Deadlifts and it was NOT a good night for me.  I was feeling off and not motivated from the beginning.  And when your off you can sometimes fall victim to the math monster!  That is exactly what happen to me, I completely added my working sets incorrectly and did not figure it out until after I finished them...all the while thinking the weight seemed light and I was feeling strong but I had 20 pounds less on the bar than I was supposed to have.  BUT I finished all my accessory work and came back in Sunday to do my actual working sets and nailed them...still felt strong and weight felt light.

Squat Night!

Tonight was a successful lifting night!

It was a success for a couple reasons:
1.  I completed ALL my work
B.  I'm getting faster out of the bottom of my squat
3.  I've learned how to control my depth on my squat

Gotta say it...I started a little too high with some of my weights  i.e., Barbell lunges.  I am now up to 95# and that is quite heavy.  Damn you linear progression!

Bench Night 6/11

Today was a first in Powerlifting...there was ALL women, except for Matt, of course.  Poor guy was engulfed in estrogen LOL.

All in all, this was a good training session.  The weights are starting to get pretty heavy, the last of the 5 reps is a struggle but I complete all reps as prescribed.
