Great job, the lifts all looked so easy!
It must have been a very satisfying day for you. I hope you get to sleep a lot today. Can’t wait to see how you do with the new shirt. Is this a fun sport or what! I’m really excited for you, next up Niagara!
Sorry for all the yelling in the videos…especially the squat. “Hips!” haha.
She forgot to mention that the 3rd bench attempt was higher than what she had planned. After the 2nd went up so easily, Pete (the other guy from our club in charge of dressing for the day) and I made the executive decision to bump her 3rd attempt up. Otherwise I have no doubt she would have gone 9 for 9. As it was, the 3rd bench was close.
Congrats! Sounds like a great day!
Let me know if you need any advice on the Titan Fury.

Don’t “at least one guy’s number” me. One guy gave me his number and told me to come down and train with them.
I think the reason I thought he was so cool was because he taught me how to wrap my knees with my new knee wraps. I’m pretty sure I’m going to want to puke the first few times I use them.

If you’re pregnant, I have a suspicion it’s because you sit like this all the time

My final squat attempt. 97.5 kg. If I find out I’m pregnant, I have a suspicion, the baby will look like the spotter behind me. I’m so completely in my own head, it wasn’t until I watched the video that I realised he was even there.[/quote]
hahaha i’m thinking theres a pretty good chance!!
Great Job!

Okay, blah, blah, blah. You dress it up however you think you need to. Maybe you only got one guys number (who by the way repeatedly texted her while we were still there)but she was quite the popular little woman for someone that was such a bossy wench.
As a team we helped a strange guy get his bench shirt on nearly ripping his nipples off in the process.

I will probably take you up on that. I got a size 34. The Titan Canadian rep was one of the judges there and he helped me size it. All the guys were laughing at it because it looks like a dolls shirt. I already pre-warned the one guy with us that he will need to help me get it on Wednesday night at training.
What size were you wearing?

It was pretty satisfying but today is very anti-climactic. Plus I feel hung over and tired as hell. All the crap I ate yesterday didn’t help. We also hit a snow storm in Trenton and were trapped behend some plows on the highway for freaking ever.
I have plans to watch a lot of videos and drink Bailey’s and hot chocolate today.
It less than 7 weeks to Niagara. I’m in the gym tomorrow night starting on that.
What are your goals for that meet?

I’m not sure yet. My suit should arrive this week and once I get an idea of how it feels, I’ll set some solid goals. I’m working hard on my bench, I’d like to get that damn 115 this time.

I had my custom made. I have big arms (all triceps) and needed the sleeves 1 size larger than the chest. i think it was chest (40) and sleeves (42) but I am not sure. I bought another Fury shirt with the chest one size smaller. I am training with my new one now. I am hoping to get 250lb bench this year.
Good luck Wednesday. Use a belt to hold the shirt down. It rides up without one and will choke you.

I do know about the belt part because we get treated to the vaguely homo-erotic show of Pete putting his beefy mits up the boys singlet to pull it down to belt it.
That would be great if you got a 250 bench. I’m not sure how much I’ll get out of mine. I gather a lot has to do with body structure so we shall see.
Nice work. Actually it didn’t even look like work. It looked like you had lots left in you on the squat and DL. Keep up the good work.

Really impressive. Do you dance with a barbell on your back?

Thanks very much. I agree there is more there on both squat and DL. I’ll check that theory in 7 weeks

Yes. In fact I do. How did you know?
Must be the knocked-out blokes on the dance floor…
Great technique and solid lifts all around. Very impressive!
Way to go, I am so proud of you for kicking so much ass! I absolutely know what you mean about feeling a little let down. The first few days after a meet, it takes me a while to reset and get back into the training frame of mind. It’s good to have another meet to start thinking about.
Court tried to text me something, but apparently it went to some dirty old man instead. Lucky you!
