Girlfriend's first workout

[Backlash]

She could definitely hit those with applied training. Those records don't seem really high for an entire country? Very cool though.

I like to shop as my motivation to train...gotta have a new workout top, shoes, pants.........the list only gets longer!

But really, I had a trainer for the first couple months and he never seemed to push me hard enough. I'd stay after our workout and train some more!

I prefer the in-your-face-and-challenge-me kind of workouts...but that is just me. I played competitive sports my whole life and that competitive spirit has carried over into other areas of my life, including my training.

"Please don't go easy on me...it's only for my own good!"

After the deadlifts she said she could've repped 143 for 3 Her grip was failing and we didn't want to push her core/back after a long day on her feet, but its nice to know there was plenty left in her.

I had the same problem with my grip...I knew I could do more weight if I could just get my grip to keep pace with the rest of my body. So for a short while, I resorted to straps and felt guilty using them so I started doing farmer walks with 45 plates. That has helped me immensely and I haven't taken the straps out of my bag since! In addition, I bought a rosin bag (baseball section of your local sporting goods store) and use that for my heavier lifts, along with a mixed grip.

Now I'm happy to say that my grip isn't even an issue anymore.

Its just one federation that I looked up. I don't think it would differ much though, and I don't think there would be too many federations at all.

Remember, those numbers are for a light weight group. Not even close to SHW

We will be incorporating some grip work in future. For a couple of days after this workout, her forearms have been fried

I hear you on that...I work in an office at a computer all day long. My forearms are regularly overworked due to the amount of typing I do throughout the day.

So in my free time I post...go figure!
