BOOM! PR's and more.......

The last week or so things have been really moving in the right direction, overall. I have been doing my dynamic stretching, as well as rolling and clearly the proper warm up is making all the difference...I feel healthy and my body is performing..GO ME!

This week was chocked full of PR's which is an incredible feeling! I hit 240 on my squat, 135 on my bench and 285 on my deadlift...That pull made me giggle like a little girl, I was so excited! Both my squat and bench were spotted, IMO I needed to get deeper on my squat so technique (and hip flexibility) need work there and my bench technique really needs some tweaking..I still bench like a bodybuilder and not a power lifter so I am working on that. The PR on my deads was NOT pretty but I got it up for 2 single sets. Just a reminder, I only pull conventional..I get asked a lot about sumo and I can't to do it..It's just awkward and uncomfortable so Imma conventional girl all the way. 

Considering my concern over keeping my body healthy and needing to work on technique, I MAY just compete in deadlift only but still leaning towards push pull. Again, I have time to decide exactly what I want to do..for now, I'm training all out and will listen to my body. 

And the ever popular topic of my weight and body image........................
My weight is holding steady at roughly 145lbs and I'm 5'4" (for those who keep asking lol). While I am not "dieting" I am cleaning up my diet. I would like to tighten up a little bit but I'm not going to kill myself to do it...I'm just keeping the ice cream, cookies, brownies and candy out of my mouth....for a little bit anyway ;-) With the weather changing to fall, trying to get into my clothes from last year has been interesting....several belt loops have been lost, a pair of pants ripped by my ever growing ass and I got stuck trying to get a shirt on! As much as that kinda sucks, I'm pretty happy with my physique as a whole..My legs are coming up, back is thick and wide..delts are round and full...but, I would love it drop the belly fat/muffin top if I could :(  Now, on the bright side I have been able to get my weight belt on and off without assistance..YIPPEEEEEE!!!!!!

This week I'm going to be taking a much needed (and welcomed!) deload.. My body is sore and achy so I'll be working on technique a lot this week as well us upping my glutamine, BCAA, fish oils and joint supplements. A little active recovery does the body good =)))
