OMG Jessica is a machine!  It’s so cool to see someone making this much progress and getting so strong.  I know I keep saying it, but she’s like the poster child for benefits of women training with weights.  She has the ideal body women strive for yet she’s in the gym squatting, deadlifting, benching, and training heavy on everything…a practice women normally associate with “getting bulky” or “too muscular”.   I’ll have to get some pics up soon.

Squats & Lower Body

Eaton Barbell

• OL Back Squats

Met up with Jessica this morning and we knocked out a quick squat sesh.  What a great way to start off the day!  We did some lower body accessory work Wednesday when we pulled and I’m sure we’ll do more when we train lower again this Wednesday so we just kept it short and simple with Olympic squats today.

Sumo Deadlifts & Accessory Work

Eaton Barbell

• Leg extensions – both single and double leg super set with Hamstring Curls
• Sumo Deadlifts
• Reverse Hypers

Good night to deadlift as I was totally ragetastic over Kroger putting the most succulent chocolate chunk cookies right in front of the milk pretty much FORCING me to buy them and eat way too many.  I’m positive they did this on purpose to sabotage my diet because they know I don’t go down the “bad” aisles.  So sinister.

Power Cleans & Overhead Press

Garage

• 1-2 Power Cleans then strict press
• Side lateral raise super set with rear lateral raise

Presses felt really good and strong today.  I wonder if it’s because I haven’t benched & incline pressed yet this week?

I shoveled snow pretty much every day this week and my body was just fried but still got in a good workout.  I swear snow shoveling is a killer workout!  I’m pretty proud of Jessica, Craig and myself for making it to the gym on a snowy Friday night and grinding out a great workout when we all really wanted to skip.

Snow Shoveling

Driveway

• Straight Shovel Push
• Scoop and Load
• Chop and Dig – thanks to the snow plows leaving 2+ feet of snowy ice mounds in front of the driveway lol
• 30-50lb Salt Bag Carry and Pour – I knew that strongman training would come in handy

Oh yes…the snow training.  We got hit with a ton of snow here in Ohio so I shoveled every day this week.  Since I have to do it anyway, might as well view it as a workout right?  If you don’t understand why this is a workout, you probably didn’t grow up in NY or anywhere snowy and earn your allowance by shoveling for your parents lol.
