Thank you guys!!! Sorry I haven't been in here this week. I have been training. I went to the beach for the day on Saturday and got burned once again as well as my allergies have been acting up! Lol Workouts were modified due to the sunburn. I did a upper push, upper pull, and then upper day. Today was leg day. I forgot how fun it is to train legs separate!

Details to follow
 
Maybe I lied! Lol jkn I haven't forgotten. Just haven't had time to type it all up...

I had a wedding today (that I made cake/cupcakes for.)

I was about to say I think you did just fine going to 245x1, you hit an all time PR, you really can't do much better than that except for hitting more all time PR's in the same workout. In all honesty if you had gone to 235 you may not have been able to do 245. When you are feeling strong if not training specifically for something that is when you want to test yourself. If things are feeling light that day and it is a strength focus program go for the bigger increase. Now you know your new 1RM for Squat and it is pretty impressive.

Now for more progress, you can do 230x3 and skip right over 225 and work on that for a week or so then bump to 235.

Congrats in the 245 pr! Filter pic HILARIOUS!
I know today's workout was just regular for you, but I got tired just reading it .....makes my sessions look like a walk in the park!
 
Definitely not a stranger to high volume training.
And she is super setting, while setting 1RM personal bests...

You must have a very good handle on yourself now, knowing what you respond to best for training/diet. Impressive as always Kat!
 
Looking good as always. Shoulders are fantastic!!
 
Nice works as always. Back is coming along! I noticed the triceps and upper back improvement right off the bat!

Does anyone have any suggestions on hip pain/psoas release? I have been having pain in my right hip for a while and it just seems to be getting worse regardless of the stretches I do.
 
Studhorse said:
where on the hip?
Click to expand...

Front of hip down kinda into the hip flexor area but not the hip flexor. Looking at the diagram, I'd guess it's the psoas muscle.

Studhorse said:
Google Hip Flexor and KT Tape. My Daughter uses it and says it really helps with the pain.
Click to expand...

Thanks! I'm willing to try it but I don't think it's hip flexors. Feels deeper and different than that. I have had issues with them in the past.
 
I will link up a video showing how to stretch the psoas when I can find it online.

He's got some great stuff! Thank you!

I feel like a goober saying it wasn't my hip flexors- not referring to the psoas as one. Lol I included it more into the core muscles I guess.

I did a lot of rolling and stretching last night before bed as well as more this morning. Used a lacrosse ball to dig into the psoas. Obviously released some tension because lower back/hips ache a bit now. I'll do more tonight and I'm going to try some of the band work tomorrow. I really need to do more mobility work! I'm tight as heck everywhere!!!

Thanks again for the help guys!
 
Here is that video I promised.

Nothing beats healthy food that also taste good!
 
Heck yeah! I love getting to cook and keep the extra crap out of it. Hubby is an amazing cook- actually was an executive chef for a while but he LOVES adding butter, cream, extra sauces etc. Which are all great but tons of calories I just don't need!

Lookin really good in those black yoga pants! Hard work is paying off.
How is that hip feeling?
Click to expand...

Thank you!! It actually feels a little better today! It's mainly achey and then hurts mostly during certain activities ...the mobility work and stuff seems to be helping so far!
 
I pulled out the two piece for the first time this summer. I'm not satisfied with where I am but I'm proud of how far I've come over the years! I've worked hard to get here- why should I focus on all of the parts I don't like?!
