Front Squat

  • 187.5lbs: 3,3,3,3,3

Overhead Press

  • 187.5lbs: 3

Notes

  • Trained at home since I canceled my gym membership
  • Just one of them days...Felt super weak today!
  • I can't use my new power rack yet because the Olympic bar I purchased from Kijiji is 50" inside the sleeves and it won't fit properly inside the cage (it's 51" wide). I ordered a B&R bar from Rogue Canada but that won't be arriving until a few weeks.
  • My last training session was last Sunday and was busying moving most of last week.
  • It will probably be a few weeks until I get accustomed to training at home...especially when I don't have a proper bar that will fit in the power rack! So no back squats until I get the new Olympic bar...Grr...

...and what actually happens...

What Women Think Will Happen To Them If They Start Lifting Weights

It's true. Even for me.

My max squat as of now is 440lbs. Here's a video of the legendary female power lifter, Laura Phelps-Sweatt, warming up with 420lbs, 470lbs, and goes up from there.

This girl weighs less than me too! (She's about 165lbs; I'm about 190lbs).
