3x5 @ 277.5. This one was rough! I just lifted more for my working weight (15reps) as I did for my one-rep max 2 months ago. Super stoked about that.

About 9 months ago I was lucky enough to film a class called #fightstrong taught by @reynoldsstrong. It was an amazingly eye opening experience and I learned so much about the unfortunate and misleading language used in the fitness industry. I had previously had knee surgery and was trying many forms of exercise, such as Pilates and yoga, to help alleviate the aches and pains I’d developed from taking the recommended year off from strenuous exercise. Needless to say I lost a LOT of muscle mass and even though I was a healthy weight for 5’2”, I had become the epitome of “skinny-fat”. While I know I could be much more dedicated to training schedule, I feel stronger and healthier than I have in MANY years with he bonus of less aches and pains. 9 months of inconsistent barbell training has helped me more than a year of dedicated yoga and Pilates. Of course I still incorporate these to help maintain flexibility and to de-stress after a long week, but I will forever be grateful for finding the way to get my strong, healthy body back. (Deadlifting 165lbs for 5 reps... a very gratifying personal record) • . . #ssoc #startingstrength #teamssoc #swatbody #swatfuel #fit #fit2017 #fitness #fitishardtokill #gym #barbell #squat #press #benchpress #deadlift #thataintheavy #studentofthegun #studentforlife #greenbeautyblogger #bblogger #strongissexy #grateful #health (at SLC Strength & Conditioning)

A #birthday gift to myself! I hit my bench goal on Tuesday and I’m hitting my press goal today. The only thing left is squat, then I’ll be part of the 200, 300, 400, 500 club. Thanks @ssonlinecoach, @reynoldsstrong, @its_instagraham, everyone at #SSOC and thanks to @swatfuel for helping me get through the blue collar days where all I want to do is go back to bed instead of train.

Light deadlift day. 410x5. I could not hold 410 with a double overhand grip. Trying to work my grip strength so I can accomplish that in the near future. • • #GainsOnTheGo #ssoc #startingstrength #teamssoc #swatbody #swatfuel #fit #fit2017 #fitness #fitishardtokill #gym #barbell #squat #press #benchpress #deadlift #thataintheavy #studentofthegun #studentforlife (at SLC Strength & Conditioning)

From yesterday’s training... 3x3 @ 195lbs. (195x3x3). Not feeling well is NOT an excuse to skip the gym. Go get your training done then rest up. Pressing while not feeling well is not fun, but it was programmed so I got it done. There are some amazing (free) resources at studentofthegun.com/ssoc.

1x5 @ 505lbs. (505x5x1 or 505x5). Oddly enough, these felt pretty easy today (comparatively). I was glad when it was over though. The bar felt like it was moving much slower than it is moving in the video, that’s for sure. There are some amazing (free) resources at studentofthegun.com/ssoc.
