So basically I had a log here a couple years ago, then last year I stopped updating it and closed it because  . Then I tried out olympic lifting. Then I majorly hosed up my SI joint. Then I used it as an excuse to do nothing and get fat again. WELP.  )Goals:  Feb 16 Edit: Toxx complete! Proof: http://youtu.be/9Vo3O4lDJ8I  Feb 16th Update! March 12 Edit: Toxx complete!

Yes, yes I do. I am bad at figuring out time frames, so I figured I'd just give myself too much time. Then if/when I complete it early I will just pick a new goal to toxx. v  v

I ran sortof today on the treadmill. gently caress cardio. gently caress life. Total time was actually 30:01. 2.35mi  Then I stretched and came home and took my fatpix. Also I wore this today but I'm not really confident that the blazer goes with the dress. Fashion is impossible to acheive.

I "graduated" from my physical therapy in August-September with the instructions to continue my PT exercises, and I can return to my normal activities (including lifting) as long as they don't cause pain or discomfort. I had a few false starts in August and September with the lifting but now my joint only starts to bother me if i am sedentary for a couple weeks and don't do my exercises. So really it's motivation to not be a lazy rear end.

Busted out the foam roller and did a couple rounds of my PT exercises. Hips feeling a lot better today. I think I'm gonna take a rest day (maybe walk aka go shopping) today and tomorrow and then take some vids at the gym on Monday since no one will be there. Nugget is even a worse gym bro than Ozzy. I can't even get her to stand next to the barbell long enough to take a picture. Stupid bird, I clipped your wings, how can you still fly across the apartment?? Swole bird. Old Pic:

 You are the best and Bird Curls are the best.Any reason you're not doing full ROM on those OHPs? I was always taught to take it all the way down to your delts each time (just like where you rest for a front squat), and it looked like you were stopping at your nose. But it looks sort of like you can't do full ROM with the safeties in that rack? Your DLs looked fab, though I'm not the best form judge so if you're not sure you should throw those vids into the form check thread. (They looked like good DLs to me though!)

InEscape posted:
I think the angle is a bit weird for the camera. I always bring the bar below my chin for OHP but I have not gone all the way down to delts. Will do that next time and yeah, I always have to bring the barbell back outside of the rack to do OHP after squats. It's kindof a pain but oh well.SAM, I am stupid and I still don't really understand the difference between high-bar vs low-bar squatting. I assume it's not about bar position because if I move the bar any higher it rests on my shoulders/bones and is super uncomfortable. I do use a pretty quite squat stance though. I feel kindof unbalanced when I go narrower. Even when I did front squats with my oly coach my stance was pretty wide. I have proportionally really long legs so he said it was okay when I asked about it.

From the Deadlift I saw, it looked like you were raising your hips first which makes the lift harder for you. Make sure to create tension on the bar and lean back on your heels and pull the bar into you as you're coming up. It'll make it easier!

It looks like your knees are buckling a lot when you're driving up on your squats which look really good aside from that. I'd say drop the weight to one where you can keep your knees tracking out over your toes the entire way up. I think you do it low bar. High bar you have to rest the bar on your trapezius muscles, low bar it is placed on your back and the back of your arms/deltoids and either bar position it on the other side of a shoulder blade bone. The hardest part of the ohp is the starting position from resting at your shoulders to mid face, you've totally cut out that range of motion. Lower the weight and see if you can push it off your shoulders, put those safeties lower if you can. IF you can't, do clean and presses instead I guess! I agree with the other comments about deadlift form, another cue that might help is lowering your hips more before you start the pull and keep them low - lead with your head not your butt. IF you feel like you will fall if you do that, you can hold onto the bar to keep yourself up. This is why people get bruises on their shins from deadlift. but I truly hope all the advice helps with your form! It's more important to get it down now rather than later. I feel ya on the running, but treadmills always do that to me.

 been cutting my range of motion in the OHP for like 2 years. No one ever pointed that out to me in my old log  Oh well, time to fix it.Re: knees buckling in squats. That only happens at the end of my last set or two. I think it's more fatigue than the weight itself. No wobbly knees in the previous sets.

We developed a tool to do cost vs. time assessments for budgets. It was pretty cool because 1) I don't normally do cost analysis stuff and 2) even though I have a math degree and work in a math modeling group, I don't normally get to do a lot of hard math so it was refreshing to actually have to work out some formulas My husband came home with a juicer today  So we made some carrot+celery+grapefruit+apple juice after dinner. Makes me feel like I have to poop I think my healthy eating for the past couple weeks has rubbed off on him He brought home a new cook book the other day and has been trying more of the veggies I cook. This is great because usually my pitfall ends up being me watching him eat tasty food that I shouldn't eat then I cave and eat some because IT'S RIGHT THERE.I also have decided what I am getting for my birthday present..... sort of. I want to get one of those pedometer/calorie counter thingies but I'm not sure which one. I know Norse Code has a Fitbit but I am trying to weigh all my options. Anyone have opinions on any of these things? Fitbit BodyMedia Fit (15% off code from MyFitnessPal if you decide you want one: MFPBM15) BodyBugg FitBug Other?? Geez why are all the names basically the same I AM SO CONFUSED

A lot harder! Today was pretty good even though I felt pretty sick after lunch and had to run to the bathroom a lot WTF body, I just had a sandwich and zucchini chill the gently caress out. I don't know if I have some sort of low grade stomach bug or what because it seems like everything I eat the last couple days doesn't sit right. I am surprised how well my lifting has been going despite not feeling 100%, so I am excited to see what my numbers look like when I stop feeling kinda lovely. Not sure if anyone remembers me mentioning my coworker Bob in my old log, but he is in my working group and is in his 50s. He used to be a top ranked powerlifter in the 90s in our state and has always been super encouraging to me with my lifting. When he was young he had a motorcycle accident and in the last few years scar tissue has built up in his brain so sometimes he has seizures. He hasn't had one in over a year but the new medication that he is taking makes him super shaky and wobbly. He was in the gym today lifting on the home gym/cable machine thingy and watched me do my squats and said "I'm jealous of your squats". Apparently he's not allowed to squat/deadlift anymore because he hosed up his knee due to wobbliness  From now on, all of my squats and deadlifts are dedicated to you Bob. Because you helped me with my form and gave me my first brick of chalk and have always been super awesome to me
