    Tonight I got out to the gym. I didn't feel like going, but my new strategy seems to work pretty well (I don't *have* to do anything; but I do have to show up - and apparently that breaks the whole thing down into digestible parts).

    New squat PR: 145 I can almost do a pull up, and I'm doing sets of 5 @ 45 lb dumbbell bench presses (90 total).

    I did a whole bunch of stuff; no deadlifts though.

    Too tired to really go into much detail. ...but I did the stuff. So there.

    90 Percent of pretty much everything is just showing up.

    If you get there and don't think you can handle the weights, go lighter. Just get the reps in.

    I have a sign on my garage gym's motivational bulletin board that says "If it doesn't happen here, it won't on the field".

    NINETY PRESSES??????
    Dear Lord, woman.

    you'll get beastlier, faster if you do 1/4 as many with 2x the weight.

    MacFhearchair is being shy with her log but she let drop at lunch the other day that she got a single squat at only 5 lbs under her bodyweight in her last workout.....which I won't reveal, as I ain't THAT much of a fool.
