B) worked up to 80% for 2, then called it. My shoulder is soooo achey. Pretty sure I’ve got some tendinitis going on. C) 18:25 with front squats instead of thrusters. I figured there’s no need to flare up my shoulders that bad just a few weeks away from regionals. Idk what the hell happened here…. Pretty sad is all I can say. D) Did 3 sets of reverse hyper and super light rows. Are any of you ladies tracking your Macros? If so, how many carbs are you shooting for? Are most of you shooting for the traditional 50g… Read more »

I track macros and you’re welcome to find me on MyFitnessPal if you use that (shannonzimmerman). I eat a TON of carbs with this training volume (right now almost 300g/day). I’d say I have a pretty high carb snack about 2 hrs before my evening workout and eat the majority of my cals during the day, saving a protein shake and a smaller meal for dinner. Everyone is different but upping my carbs and getting them in preworkout was a game changer for me. I’ve also increased my daily intake by about 300 cals a day since regional prep started… Read more »

A little bit. I end up eating a little less in general. You can see above what I wrote to Andi 🙂

I shoot for 250ish on training days, and cut them In half on rest days….. I try to anyway :/ I go into training with about 100g sometimes 120g? Then get the rest post and at dinner. Im thinkin should shoot for more before?

Reply to  Andi Turner

I guess I personally never think too much about the timing of carbs and feel my body naturally craves them at certain times so I just kinda go with it and try to keep my meals somewhat balanced so I’m never super deficient and having to play catchup later. Last night I went into training with about 250g/carbs in my system. I have an overall “working range” of total cals/day that I usually stay within that I took from a basic macro calculator based on activity level, all with the same balance of fat and carbs but my protein remains… Read more »

After a night of foam rolling my legs plus more rolling with my morning classes I coached, I decided to try my back squats from last night again and my knee felt normal. Thank God!!!
Squat

Optional A) I’m a dummy and did E4M accidentally…. 19/19/18/18
