Weekly Feature: What did you do?

[cereta]

I thought it might be fun to have a weekly post where people could comment with what strength training they did this week. It could be a fun way get ideas, cheer each other one, and help our members keep track of their own work.

I'm keeping the title completely neutral, because I want this to be as broad as possible. You can go into detail, you can talk about something new you did or an increase of some kind, or you can just report time or days or whatever makes you happy.

Comment away!

This week I've lifted my laptop (a jillion sets of infinity, to failure), pressed deadlines, clean-and-snatched a lot of technical logistics out of someplace approximately near my glutes for a conference at work, and finally did a sort of reverse deadlift thing that I think is technically called "fall down go boom".

On the other hand, while I was busy skipping fencing practice, lessons, and even my beloved strength and conditioning class, I did manage to read The New Rules of Lifting For Women, and I think I've figured out a way to fit the program into my insane schedule. I highly recommend the book, btw, whether you're a woman or not.

May I share a selection from this comment in metaquotes?

Yes you may, thanks! (I said "not at all" earlier, but I was answering as if the question were "do you mind if". This is what I get for posting with no caffeine!")

Ta-da!

Insane schedule permitting, would you consider writing a review of it for the comm? It seems like a book that a lot of people like.

I was thinking I should do so anyway, now that things have calmed down a little -- thanks for the nudge!
