Your diet shouldn't really make you irritable, yes there's an adjustment period but irritability is likely a sign that your diet is either missing something or you aren't eating enough. I know it's hard to get it right, just keep making adjustments. Now in the case where you are trying to do something more extreme such as contest dieting then irritation would be a symptom. Refeeds help some in this case, and it gives you something to look forward to.

Now the truth to that, lies in what you ate after you competed. I know people who are like that, contest prep doesn't bother them, then after the show they eat pretty much like they always do... fuggers.

My food was restricted like crazy. But, post show I ate whatever I wanted for two days, then back on my diet grind that Tuesday. I've got updated pictures in my thread if you want to check out the diet front and all that.

Thank you! So thankful to have him! He had 6 bypass about 6 years ago! Both parents have poor health so I'm grateful for every moment! It was great! Heading home now with just the hubby! No kids!
Goals haven't changed...still working on getting leaner. After I get about 5% more bf gone, I will work to put on more muscle. For now, just keep training hard and leaning out!!

Haha you know me! I can't leave till I'm unable to move! Thank you! The stretchers were fun! Too me a min to figure out to put my foot on the bench to help hold me down. It was challenging to stay down with the 100lbs though! Lol Yes, the DL's pull my back really bad where it's been cramping up! I only attempted 95! I was mad! Ready for the pain to go away already!
Thank you!
They're ok right now. Not gone but bearable. Took some Advil and try to stretch when I can. Thank you!

Kat,
I am really surprised you said too much rest for 3 people lifting... Longer rest periods actually make lifting with 3 people easier. If you guys star with the weakest person first you just add weight quickly do the set get up and next person goes immediately. That is 2-3 minutes rest for each person. You just switch the weights out very quickly. Plus you may feel like it was too long of rest but lifting higher intensity and leaving less in the tank each set will make you start to need the rest. Plus you will realize how much strength you actually have since actually recovering between sets. Admittedly though you definitely have to step up the pace switching the weights with 3 people.

Thank you girl!
I'm ready to see some pics of you!! Love the ink/avi!! Go for it! I added to the MD! LolKleen, I'm just not good at taking the 2-3 mins break! I know it's good for strength but I really enjoy keeping my hr average around 135 throughout weight training. I get bored just standing there.

Nice back Kat your waist is lookin trim too. I like a gal with a good back

You need to take a couple weeks off of whatever exercises cause you pain; ie don't do them. Don't do less weight or less reps. Just don't do them.
I would skip legs and lower back completely for two weeks and consider taking 2 aleve twice a day for that time period.
You're never going to get back to full strength if you keep causing repetitive low grade injury to the affected area.

You might consider GVT as a training regimen. It sounds like it's right up your alley. I bet you get better gains with it too.

Thanks guys! It felt really good! I enjoyed the workout! I think what's making it so challenging is having to tech the newbies and them not being able to do things the same way. It will get better though as we get more comfortable!

Kat you are a beast. If you don't like the resting then you might try GVT but I don't think it would translate well into a 3 person lift. For 2 people it is damn near perfect because each of you can be on a machine / weight station at a time.
bigred, the Wide OHP she is doing is very light weight to avoid danger or it should be that is how it is to be done. Even John Meadows only goes up to 85 lbs on it.

Thanks Kleen! I'm gonna give md a fair run maybe I'll add some jump rope or something between sets since BLaQz had challenged me to try it out! The newest girl will catch on in a few weeks and that will help too! Yes, the OHP are "light" but still hard as heck!! Lol I didn't feel any bad pains.
I didn't get to bed till 11:30 last night and kept waking up from silly muscle jerks as I was falling to sleep! Lol Luckily, I have prob 2-3 doses left of the C2K...will help perk me up!
