thanks everyone! I'm no minime, running like 22 min 5k's! I'm happy with 25:26 and was spent! lol
Minime, if my calculations are correct I think Nicole weighs 120-125#. I wonder how tall she is though. oh and that was me struggling with 85 I never got it up....until today.

left side of lower/mid back has been extreamly tight all day. Its' the same area where I had that buldging disc last year when I started my journal here. I got a bit nervous, but felt around and it just feels like that muscle right along the left side ofmy spine is really tight. I used the tennis ball to apply pressure which helped. I think this was caused by those ridiculous
oblique twists my new trainer had me do...really is there a point to that exercises? You lay at a 45 degree angle on the declind bench with a 10# plate held infront of you arms
fully extended and you rotate side to side, keeping your arms straight and roating the plate with you.

I actually follwed the rules this time, per the video. I did warm-up sets, then a few heavy singles and then went in for my 3 attempts. This is the first time I have done this WOD without my trainer. I was scared to go any higher with weight on the squat and DL, especially with my back being so tight. My trainer also let me take as many attempts as I wanted! I had a gym friend of mine watch my squat form as he was working in with me in the squat rack. I had him tell me when I hit below parallel and had my hip crease lower then my patella. I'm happy the 155, was actually with correct, low squat form!
Surprised myself with the shoulder press. my PR from last time was 80# and that was a struggle. This time I did 80 without thinking and was shocked when i realzed i had just done 80. 85 went up 1/2 way decently, almost got stuck but pushed through.
deadlifts were a nightmare today. I don't know if my form was off, or if it was because my back was tight, or if because i was aware of how much weight i was doing. I dunno, everything was really heavy. I almost got stuck on 200, then tried for 210 which was very hard today.
So apperently I look big or something. Guys need to think before they speak to somen about weight! My gym friend who watched my squats was asking how much I weigh. He's like 'what do you weigh, 120 or so?"
When I told him I actually weigh 105, he was like wow. lol 120 at my height/build i think wouldn't look right. I asked him why he thought I weighed so much and then he tells me this " it must be that booty."
geez, i know it is getting rounder, but damn. I told him i used to weigh 100-103 last summer before I really started squatting and DLing heavy and he's like you added 5lbs to your ass. He claims it's a good thing, but dang!Sheesh now I feel like my ass needs its own zip code or something.
on my first visit to CFN, the coach there said what do you weigh 110-115? It's funny because at work people are like what do you weigh 90#'s? then at the gym people think I weigh 115-120. I got paranoid and weighed myself on a scale at someones house and still weighed 105, and over the past two weeks i've ranged between 102-106. Anyway, kinda weird.
