Everything has been feeling super heavy these days and it sucks pretty bad. Hopefully this doesn’t last much longer. I think my CNS is trying to adjust since I have been squatting lately. I don’t know exactly, but I do know this has to stop soon. Other than 135 pounds feeling like 315 – I feel great. Knee is doing well and shoulders are getting better. Onto whatever the heck I did over the weekend…

Keep at it Molly!!! Get some rest too!
Let me see: Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. On my calendar, those are consecutive days. Recovery day was Tuesday. You are a superb trainer – treat yourself like you do your clients. You will be fine once you rediscover recovery as part of your training.
Ive known my wife for almost 10 years now, and she never takes a day off. on the days she doesnt post, she is still doing something whether its a workout not worth mentioning(in her eyes), or cardio. she does cardio atleast 6 days a week and is an absolute work horse.
the only set back for molly has been her injuries and the fact that i got pretty sick.
i am extremely proud of molly for her work ethic and bein so mentally tough.
thank you to everyone that reads molly edwards log,
I wonder if part of the reason she’s so driven is because she has such a supportive person in her life – great post!
Luke, both of you are inspiring.
