I really love strength days because every week I get stronger. I partnered with Caitlyn and Sarah. I love all of my CFA girls but have a special bond with Caitlyn because she has been with me since the beginning. We lift at about the same weight so we are constantly pushing each other. We started out at 65#, increased to 70# where Sarah stayed and did great! After that we went up in 5# increments and at 85# I looked at Caitlyn and at the weights and started to say "let's do 100#", at the same time she said "you wanna do 100#?" We loaded the bar and off we went! We both got 3 reps and it felt great!!

After we were done Sarah wanted to try a 100# backsquat and she did one easy. Her next backsquat session will start at 100#!

RDL's were at 100# and felt loaded in the hammies like they were supposed to.

I am not at an L-sit yet, so I did hollow holds and did 2 of them for 30 sec! I have come so far on those :)

KB cross chops, we have been talking about those for three weeks, so I won't bore you. 12K (26lbs) still, hard, but good.

I left the gym feeling accomplished. 100# backsquat, heck ya baby!!

I don't know how I missed this before, but YAY!!! I love the bond we share and how we know how and when to push each other! 100# FS, whoop whoop! So proud of you, friend!
