Great job! Your lifts looked great. Can’t wait to see you at Niagra beating those lifts.

Thanks very much for the compliment. I already have in mind what I want to do in squat and DL but bench will depend on how the shirt works for me.
Has Court told you that you guys may be dragooned to help with lift submissions and dressing us? Our entire club may be competing so there won’t be anyone to help.
The day should be a blast. Ottawa was a lot of fun but Niagara should be even better with our T-Nation get together.

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![/quote]
I was surprised at how mentally knocked out I felt. I don’t remember feeling like that after London. I’m glad Niagara is coming soon. I feel like a crack addict. I can’t wait for my next hit.
How many have you done now? Have you ever had to do what you did with this one regarding making weight? I tried describing it to someone. They thought it was insane.
I hope the dirty old man that got the lift text enjoyed it. When we didn’t hear back I was worried that you had a shit day.

I always look forward to helping women dress. wait. Reverse that.
Watching everyone should get me jacked up, since that day is my Moving Day, aka max out day for Maximum Strength.

Well I told her that I sent her the pic of you weighing-in wearing just your underwear, so the dirty old man is likely still spanking to that image. 
As for telling Bartl about his duties, I just briefly described them to him. I had planned on surprising him with all of his responsibilities when he got here. We’ll just have to find someone else to put their hands up your singlet to pull down your bench shirt haha.

If that’s the case you can help her get out of her squat suit haha. I won’t be needing any help getting dressed, likely just getting out of my knee wraps and belt

I appreciate the volunteering. The good thing is that even if you are unable to fulfill that particular aspect of assisting, I can get a complete stranger to do it. I mean we did it for some random guy so I can ask it for me

I’ve done five meets - two State championships, two Nationals (Raw and Push/Pull), and one local meet. I’ve never had to make weight like that before, and I hope to never have to do it again. It really messes with your head. I am VERY glad I set my openers basically as low as I could and still qualify, because there just wasn’t any gas in the tank.
I have had to do the water thing for two meets, and two meets I didn’t have to do any cutting at all (one I was skinny, the other I just went up a class). I’d never not made weight on the first try.
The cool thing about having to be so insane to make weight this time was that, for the first time, I think my husband “gets” that I adore the sport. He thinks I’m batshit crazy, but he gets that this is something that makes me SO happy, even when it’s miserable.
Congratulations, lady.
When is Niagara?

It is Jan. 24 in St. Catharines. It’s supposed to be one of the better ones. So far every woman in my weight class has significantly more experience than I do so it should be a good one.
Okay, but do they have Jeff Gillooly in their corner? I swing a mean lead pipe. Let’s see 'em squat with a busted getaway stick.
Court,
Thanks for the dirty text. How did you get my number???

I wanted to do more volume and work more on my legs. On my last pull on the trap bar, I shredded a callous. It was pretty ugly. I decided to pack it in at that point. I left out my pullups and rows. I didn’t think they’d appreciate callous blood and schmutz on their equipment.
This is my photo of the callous injury. Some people on this site will have you believe this isn’t sexy. All I know is that the guys there that saw this were secretly wishing they could have their way with me on the bench all the while touching and caressing my callous goop.
When it tore, I went to the receptionist to see if she had a first aid kit so I could cut off the flapping bits. She looked like she was going to throw up. She asked what I’d been doing. “Um, you know, lifting weights and such”. I flashed it a couple times to really gross her out. Meeeeeeean girls
Finally, I talked to the boy tonight. He may be joining the same gym as me. He told me the lifter list for Niagara was updated. There’s only two spots left. Dianab is on the list now. Yay.
He also asked how it felt to be number one in the province. How sweet is that. He didn’t even ask it ironically. He really meant it that he was pleased for me.
I said it would mean more if I weren’t number one just because other people didnt’ show up. I’m closing the gap with them though
That’s one nasty cut up hand, mine are smooth and lovely LOL. Seriously though, I’ve never busted a callous.
Niagara is going to be a blast, there are 4 M1s YAY!
Bartl can dress me any day, I will have a suit at least.
Tonight I pulled 245, it came up easy, but I ripped my pants and that prevented a decent lockout because I was concerned just how much ass was hanging out. Good thing I had another pair of sweats at the gym, but it threw me off, I would have like to try 265.
Just catching up on you log…your videos rocked. Congrats on all you have accomplished and good luck with the next meet.
