Let me know if it is helpful.

Today is my last practice at Harley Race’s WLW Academy. I learned so much here, more than I could have learned anywhere else. A lot of people are asking, will I continue to wrestle? HECK YEAH!! I love it! I still have a lot to learn and want to keep improving my performance. There is a wrestling ring at the gym I will be training at in LA.

I had a kick ass leg workout on Monday! I have been taking MSM for my knees it is working. You can choose from different brands on Bodybuilding.com.

LEG DAY
Heavy Squats
Heavy Good Mornings
Adductors
Calves

Doesn’t seem like much, but it was QUALITY and QUANTITY!

I am still going to post the bicep video I did and I will make a new one today. Bear with me ;o).

I am happy as can be these days. Looking forward to moving. I move back home to Nebraska for a couple of weeks. I am going to get rid of all the things I do not use. Pack what is left over in my Yukon and make my way out to LA!! YAY!!

I had such a busy few weeks; I spent a lot of energy. So, I allow myself to come down from that life high and relax a bit. I didn’t lift much last week and I am fine with that. I don’t mind taking time off. However, I do feel like a terd! LOL!

I had a wrestling match in Leavenworth, KS yesterday. I went over in a three-way tag match against Lucy Mendez and Amy Hennig. It was a great match. I am glad to retain the WLW woman’s title belt. Tonight we travel to Eldorado Springs, MO. Wish me luck!!

Oh, by the way. I think I was relaxed enough last week to realize my soul mate had been knocking on my door for quite some time. I had answered before, but I finally let him in. Feels like the sun is shining!

Here is what I did for Tris and Bis yesterday:

Skull Krushers
Overhead Cable Skull Krushers (elbows up really high)
Kick Backs with a rope on the low cable

Straight Bar Curl
Incline DB Curl
Hammer Curl w curl bar

I have a video about Incline DB Curls I will post later tonight. Come back and check it out!

I am off to do legs!

Chest/Shoulders:
Flat Bench
Incline Hammer Machine
Flat DB Press
Pec Deck

Standing DB Press, last two heavy sets seated
Side DB Raises
Rear Delt Fly on Pec Deck

Today, I will do Tris and Bis. If someone is around to help, I will do an instructional video. Tune in!

A lot of people ask me if I deadlift Sumo or Conventional.  I have always been a conventional style deadlifter. A great reference is the book Strength Training Anatomy.  It shows you use a lot more muscles in your back when lifting conventionally.

When it comes to shaping the back, I think conventional is the way to go.  If you are not competing in powerlifting, stay with a double overhand grip for symmetry.  In this case, I think it is okay to use straps for grip support.  But, do not use them until you really need to.  Use a hook grip first; I put my first and middle finger on top of my thumbnail.  Hurts like an S.O.B. at first, but you get used to it.  When I was training heavy, I would use my overhand grip until 500 lbs, then I would switch to reverse grip.

I remind people that the strongest female deadlifter, me, and the strongest male deadlifter, Andy Bolton, deadlift conventionally.  So, if you want a big deadlift, do what the strongest deadlifters do.

BACK WORKOUT
Deadlifts
Close Grip Lat Pulldowns
Wide Grip Low Rows
Straight Arm Extentions
Weighted Abs
Ahhh… shoot, I was lazy today. I should have done some DB Rows.

I never did get a chance to weight lift yesterday.  But, I am not too hard on myself.  I will surely get all of my workouts in this week.  I do a 4 day split, so I will workout today, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday.  I am back on the clean eating today.  By the time I get to LA, I am going to be showing the abs! YAY!

Give me a day or two to get back on track here on my site.  I need to get my bottom to the gym so I can work this wonderful physique of mine.  I don’t even have a plan for the gym.  I am just going to go and feel it out.  I am thinking deadlifts and back work.  I log my workout later tonight after wrestling practice.
