🥳👌Taper week commences with testing openers for squat & bench! Things are moving well - 135x1 for bench was a current PR but also a bit of a grind... so we'll see what I open with there. [All time best bench is 137.5, but that is a comp PR from 2016]

Overall, happy with how the session went 🙌 Annnndddd my singlet [kinda] still fits 👌👌

Soooo beyond crazy to be less than a week from my first comp in almost a decade 🤯 bring it on!!

Soooo I didn't post about it when it happened 2 weeks ago, but I had a slight setback in my training at a very less than ideal time... last Monday (at just under 4 weeks out), I was going for a double at 250 lbs, and on the way up on the second rep, I heard and felt a snapping feeling/ sound come from my right quad (more specifically vastus lateralis).

Physio the next day said it was likely micro tears/ strain in the muscle... soooo I've had to scale my training back. I took last week off, and this week, I've been moving lower weights to not push the muscle too hard.

Thankfully, it's coming along, and today's training session felt really strong with no pain and no after-effects 🙏 hopefully I can continue to improve between now and my meet on the 29th!

I am stepping out on the platform at
I will do what I am capable of that day
I am still very proud that, despite a crazy unpredictable prep, I have not given up 🙏

250 x1 (and when my injury occurred)
180 x1 (this pass Monday, scaled back and really focusing on the movement)
225 x1 (deadlift - Tuesday this week, not pushing it)
115 x2 (paused bench - Tuesday)
210 x1 (paused squat - today)
205 x2 (paused squat - today)

5 weeks to go 👌

Thankful that this week is starting better than the last one ended 😅

240 x3 9RPE
130 x3 9RPE

This is only my second session this week because it was a crazy school week with 2 tests and 2 final exams, plus a huge snow day 😅 feeling a little sluggish today because of indulging a little too much for valentine's 🤷‍♀️ but regardless, numbers are still on the up & up!

📽
1️⃣260x2 DL (I have a belt on in the video, I did pull it for 2 without a belt on the first set, but then accidentally deleted the video when I was trying to make room on my phone 🤦‍♀️)
2️⃣125x3 (semi-paused) bench 🏅🏅
3️⃣180x5 squats

✌️I'm still here, 7 weeks out & despite a couple setbacks at the end of December and mid-January, I would say things are feeling strong & moving along! 🙏

I take the platform, in Flight B, at Saturday March 29th!

Letssss GO!

📣Let's bring back an OLDIE but a GOODIE!|

30 Day Pushup Challenge! Who's in?!

Got mine done for today!! Although the beginning of my clip absolutely starts with me mumbling about not wanting to do pushups right now LOL I still did them!

So...I didn't die😅👌

I haven't ran in a really long time, let alone even attempted a 5k in a few years at least... but with the upcoming Stratford 5k (on October 6th) I set out for a run today.

This was not a planned 5k run, I was thinking maybe 2-3km... but I kept running and decided around the 2k mark that I wanted to get to 5 and see if I could even still do it. Mind you, everything today was ALREADY feeling difficult, like a nap was where my brain was at, not a run...

I walked a few times, my body was screaming, but I did it ✌️
Absolutely not even close to my regular 5k times, but hey, I didn't die 😅

And I finished off with a pint at Jobsite - win, win!
