Perhaps you didn't lift your best but considering the emotional issues and fighting off injuries you gave it your best and that's what counts the most, most people would just say f&^%k it and not even try.

Monique is almost lifting what I lift, now I feel like crap, thanks a lot. LOL

Yes it does suck. I just bought her the book It's Not About The Bike by Lance Armstrong for Christmas to encourage her journey back to normalcy. Now this......

Yeah 2013 was the worst year ever for injury. Since about May when I blew my elbow up it's been very iffy training...then I think around Sept is when my hammy went out...then my shoulder moving furniture up here on Nov 2nd...now my calf yesterday. This seems to happen to me once every 4-5 years...I have a bad injury year. I've taken weeks off at the time....and still am...with the exception of benching last night I haven't lifted since the 23rd and am probably going to take next week off too.

You are welcome She is capable of about 50 lbs more total over that raw but she had....ummmm..."elective surgery" 4 weeks ago or so and hasn't trained a lot since then. And to rub salt in the wound she's considerably lighter than you and had never touched a weight up until a little over a year ago. Know how she trains? The westside system....you know those articles I kept posting for you that you kept skimming over? It doesn't take long to get stronger than most if you know how to train for maximum power output only.....provided of course that you are are committed to it.
