This is my 5 week fitness plan. I did 3 workouts a week at fit nation. We squatted 3 times a week, deadlifted, benched, pressed, and barbell rowed once or twice a week. This app really helped me keep track of the weight I was lifting and kept me on track. My goal was to reach 255 on my deadlift and 200 on my squat. I reached my deadlift on my last day but it did take me a couple of tries of failure. I could only get up to 195 on my squat because it was harder to get on my squat than I thought. The other exercises I did on the side just as normal workouts but I decided to put those into the app as well because i made more progress on those as well. The way I accomplished these goals were by the mentorship of the fitnation trainers. They helped me conquer my goals and pushed me until I couldn't do it anymore.

Interesting muscle disease
Rippling muscle disease:
This is a disease in which the center of your body (close to thigh) muscles are very sensitive and ripple when used. The muscles are unusually sensitive and easily irritated. The ripples last for about 30 seconds and may or may not be painful. Symptoms include overgrowth of some muscles, fatigue, soreness of muscles and walking patterns may change (such as walking on tip toes) the disease usually starts in late teen years when you start to exercise more often and muscles fully grow. People usually get the disease from genes. It is caused by mutations in the CAV3 gene.

protein lab
1) Q: What type of bond is found in the primary structure(between amino acids)?
A: The peptide bond is found between the amino acids in the primary structure.
2) Q: Why does the secondary structure form (alpha helix)?
A: It forms because of the polar peptide bonds between the amino acids and the chain twists.
3) Q: What created the 3rd structure? Why did your protein look different than everyone else?
A: THe 3rd structure was created by interactions between R groups, covelent bonds. It looked different because the amino acids were different.
4) Q: How was the 4th structure created?
A: The 4th structure was created because 2 or more poly peptides are stuck together.
5) Q: Would your protein have the same shape if you changed the primary structure?
A: Yes the shape would change because the amino acids would be different and it would change the overall structure.

colon cancer surgery
After seeing these live posts and pictures of this operation. It was kind of gross but very interesting at the same time. I was very surprised on how the surgeons put a laprascope into the abdomen which helped us see it better. It was also cool how they inserted co2 into the patients stomach to inflate it. I found it very disgusting how they used a stapler to separate the colon. I recognized some things such as colon was cool because we are learning about these things in class as well.Something new I learnt today that I did not know before was that the surgeons tattooed the tumor with ink to make it easier to find it.
