Workouts Of The Week

MONDAY FULL BODY

I had a feeling bench would be good this week since I kept the weight light last week, and I was right. I think the burgers and ice cream I had the day before helped, too. ;) I worked up to 2 sets of 4 with 120(bodyweight), then a set of 6 with 115 which I think is a rep PR! Pullups also felt strong -I was able to get 3 sets of 5 with a 30lb dumbbell. I took it easy again on hip thrusts this week with high reps, then did Bulgarian split squats and band walks after those. I think I may take a break from hip thrusts next week and replace them with kettle bell swings. Split squats weren't horrible, but definitely not easy! Then  it was farmer's walks, pullaparts, and abs to finish, as always.

1)Bench: 95x3/105x3/115x3/120x4/120x4/115x6
2)Neutral grip pullups: 25x6/30x3x5/0x5(wide grip)
3)Hip thrusts: 155x12/175x3x12
4a)Bulgarian split squats: 20x10/25x10/30x10
4b)Band walks: 3x12
5a)Farmers walks 3x30 seconds w/65s
5b)Pullaparts: 25/20/15/15
6)Dragonfly 2x8/reverse crunch w/ 10lb weight 2x12


WEDNESDAY LOWER BODY
This week I decided to skip 185 and just jump up to 195 and see how many reps I could get-and I was able to get 4! That's definitely a rep PR for me, so that's exciting. I am determined to be squatting over 200 for reps one of these days! I think I've just always had a  fear of squatting heavy unless I'm maxing out...but it's time to get over that! After squats I did sets of 6 on hip thrusts, working up to 275. Then I did some reverse hypers, abs, and then a quad finisher. I changed the finisher up a little, but it was still tough. I love how my quads get so pumped up that they actually feel big, ha! I wish they actually WERE big!

1)Squat jumps: 3x5
2)Squats: 155x5/175x5/195x4/175x6
3)Pause squats: 155x2x6
4)Hip thrusts: 205x6/235x6/255x6/275x6/
5)Reverse  hypers: 110x12/130x10/140x10/90x12
6)Hanging leg raise: 2x10/Side plank 2x 25 seconds

Finisher-
22 squats(fast)
22 reverse lunges
22 lunge jumps
10 squat jumps 
1 minute rest
x2
Round 1-1:53
Round 2-2:01

FRIDAY UPPER
For push presses this week I got an extra rep with 115 but only 3 the second set. Then I just did a back off set with 105 and a couple of sets of handstand pushups. Everything else was accessory work and pump stuff. I did do a fun "finisher"of rope pulls with the sled and Lsits. My lats were on fire!

1)Snatch practice: 85x4x2/95x2
2)Push press: 95x3/105x3/115x4/115x3/105x5
3)Handstand pushups: x6/5
4a)1 arm chest press: 40x10/45x8/ 2 arm-45x8
4b)Cable row w/ rope attachment: 4x12
5a)Lateral raise: 2x12
5b)Ez bar drag curls: 14/12/ DB curl:x10+5(drop set)
6)Reverse fly: 2x14
Sled rope pulls 5x70lbs  + Lsits 4x15 seconds

SATURDAY LOWER
Deadlifts felt good again this week! Worked up to 215 for 3, and that was not a max. But it's the most I've done for reps with sumo deadlifts! Then I just did a couple back off sets with 185. Next week I think I'll do some conventional speed singles since I haven't done them in forever! Did the leg press again this week because I just didn't want to do front squats. Hopefully I'll be back to those next week though. After that was glute ham raises and then I did a high rep set of goblet squats and finished with my glute burner superset. Then I went home and did 10 minutes of easy tire drags since it was a beautiful day again, followed by a stroll through the neighborhood.

1)Sumo deadlift: 155x3/185x3/205x2/215x3/185x2x5
2)Leg press: 270x12/320x2x10
3)GHR: 20x3x8/1x15
4)Goblet squat: 1x20 w/60lb dumbbell
5a)Seated band abduction: 3x20
5b)Single leg hip thrusts: 3x12
6)AB wheel from toes: 2x10
Tire drags- 10 minutes

  1. Your squats are so impressive - my PR right now is 175 for 5, but thats on a VERY good day. I'm usually right around 155.. And those sumo deads too! Damn girl, you are a machine! Keep it up! :-)

    1. Thanks! I've been at this for so long, I should be doing more! But I guess it's not too bad for my long, scrawny legs. And 175 is awesome!!

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea
People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

One Year...

One year ago today... the day it all changed. It was a Tuesday. I got the call from Matt around 3:00. I remember I was sitting at the computer at home. Matt told me that he was at the hospital, and that Bob Scott, his boss, had driven him there. Then he said those 4 words I never expected to hear: “The tumor came back.”  My heart stopped. Matt had gone in that morning for an MRI, as he has done numerous times in the past 10 years. He was now at the point where he had an MRI just yearly now, and that one was done in February, which showed that everything was fine. There was no sign of tumor growth, which had been the case for the last 10 years, praise God. But because Matt had been having some seizure activity for the last few months, they suggested he go in for another MRI in July. We then decided we should move up the appointment, because he had been having a headache every day for the past week. Good thing we did.... After I hung up with Matt,  I immediately broke down. I
