A little pop

Yesterday was leg day for me.  I had planned it perfect with the girls both being busy to give me time to play. 

So here is the workout:
Leg ext 2 X 10 & 1 X drop set to failure
Leg press  2 plates for 20 reps
                 4 plates for 15
                 6 plates for 10
                 8 plates for 6
DB step ups 3 2 X 10 (on the 2nd set I felt a huge "pop" in my back, scared me, hurt like crazy, but no way I was stopping, will explain more in a few)
Modified with: 1 X walking lunges with double dips
Lying leg curls 2 X 10 & 2 X drop sets to failure
10 min on step mill

Honestly this workout contained a bit more that I had to put off.  I still had 3 sets of box jumps and 3 sets of switch jumps to go, but when my back popped, there was no way those things were going to happen.  When I got in my car to drive to pick up Hannah it was hurting so bad I thought I might pass out while driving.  I got home, took a pain pill, fixed up a hot bath with epsom salts, soaked, took a sleeping pill, hoping it would just knock me out and I wouldn't feel the pain, and went to bed on a ice pack.

So much for a beautiful leg day, but I am hopefully going to be better by Saturday so I can have a repeat.  :)

Latest shoulder workout

I have decided to start posting most of my workouts again.  Maybe they will help someone looking for a change up.


Shoulders:
Smith Machine press 4 X 10
Arnold press 3 X 8 (lighter weight than I normally do for a regular press)
Plate raises 3 X 8
BB push press 3 X 5
Rear delt flyes 3 X 8-10 (wanted rev pec deck, but some guy was hogging it) 
Baby laterals 3 X failure


Legs next!

No matter what you are going through

So many times when troubles come our way it is easy to "not go to the gym today" because that time can be used somewhere else.  From now on, I am going to make a pact with myself that when "life" happens, I will still go to the gym.  My workout will not suffer because of whatever has decided to rear it's UGLY head in my life.

 

 

Accountability

I started this blog in part to hold myself accountable and to learn from others.  It has done both.  Bloggers are an amazing group of people. 

With that being said, I have decided it is about time to post some updated shots of me, so you guys can see how I am coming along.  One of the things I have "discovered" since I started this is that this is my life, my choice, no one can make me do the work if I do not want to.  This sport has taught me alot about myself over the last few years.  I look forward to what I can do from here forward.

For Cierra, I love you baby

I love you and have all the faith in the world that you have got this.  Your life is full of possibilities and all you have to do is realize that.  I will always be in your corner pushing you on to greater things because you deserve the best.  Be happy above all else!

Love,
Momma
