I heard you mention about "the old man" a few times in your last few posts about him helping you with your training. Is this your dad you are talking about? And, was he some kind of power lifter or something back in his day? Or still?

haha ya, the old man, he's actually not my dad, he's literally an old man who used to be a power lifter, so he has a TON of advice. He's literally 70-75 or so. He's in with a lot of younger powerlifters and some experienced guys, for some reason he's takin a liking to me and when hes there at the same time as me he'll watch me and help me along.

Overall kinda disappointed today, didnt hit 475 like I thought I would, form wasnt great today on deads by any means, my ass went up too fast and the bar got away from me, grip slipped too, oh well, I'll get it soon, needed to have more focus today. Good pump on the rest though.
I'm looking to cut down again, this last month I've gained about 5-7 pounds, but have managed to shrink my waist about 3/4-1 inch. But now I'm concentrating a little more on cardio and that stuff, so we'll see. Diet has been awful, but it'll get better. |

Just to let you know, my name is Diana. Yes, I definitely will stick around. It keeps me motivated to do my routine--getting advice from people with knowledge is always nicely accepted as well (hint hint  ).
Oh, don't worry about the weight that you didn't reach, you'll get it next time! :

I know you are doing really well, but have you thought about backing off for a little? You are putting a lot of stress on your CNS right now, just a thought.

Thanks Diana, I really appreciate your support here, and you're involvement in my journal, if you have any questions that you think I could help with just IM or PM me, I'd be happy to talk with you
And Dark, ya I hear what you're saying, I need to have more work sessions without any max effort days, as long as I can keep my ego in check I'll be fine, basically take time off from the singles for a 3-4 weeks, I know itd be beneficial, but until I stop seeing results I dont think I'll back off on volume. |
