So today I checked out a local meet that a few guys I know are competing. I managed to talk my youngest daughter into going with me.
Also present were Court and Ruggerlife. I think I may have left some of my PL friends with the impression that Ruggerlife is my new, much younger boyfriend. That would sound cool unless you witnessed the two of us dining at McDonalds with an entire nursery school of children between us.
We only stayed for the squatting because the kids were losing their minds with boredom. Super cute moment was RL’s 2 year old son cheering on one of the big guys squatting.

Ummm what about the super cute moment where you realized your 8 year old daughter has a girl-crush on me. Or the super cute moment when Rugger’s 6 year old daughter wanted to show me her stuffed animal and told me what its name was. Sigh… I’m okay with other people’s kids for now though. I can give them back

Okay. I’ll give you that for sure. My daughter has a super hero worship crush on you. I think it’s the way you so easily emasculate every guy around you in a poetic way that they don’t even realise what happened until later when they notice their balls are missing.

So that’s where they went! So if you took them, does that mean I can saw “Court played with my balls?”
When you’re done, please return them to my new girlfriend.
Today was two hours of stretching and squats only. There were 5 of us there and it was a total laugh. Three of us, including Court were in full gear.
I heard the guy in the next rack tell one of the other women that we were incredible. She was working with a torn meniscus.
I hope we can do that more. The whole energy is much better.
Warm up on elliptical, stretching and mobility. During this Court was telling me I look like an idiot when I was doing glute activation stuff. I thought she was talking to some woman we don’t know and called her a bitch.
Squat
45x10
95x5
135x5
155x3
185x1 suit on straps down
215x1 suit on straps up
240x1 This one was tough because I rushed it
240x1 This one I smoke out of the hole. No problem at all.

Don’t be. It’s supposed to be a snatch
I do have pretty good flexibility though that has helped a lot with squatting in particular. When I train at the PL club I’m the only one that isn’t told to do extra flexibility stuff. I just get in trouble for talking too much.
edit: were you referring to my avatar or the video on my profile? The avatar is my snatch. The video is of overhead squats.

And laughing.
As for the flexibility, I wouldn’t expect anything less from a woman who spent her younger years twirling, dancing and doing the splits with a pole nearby

Younger years? You are such a bitch.[/quote]
And this is news to you how…?
If you’re just figuring this out, you’re not as bright as I thought. However I really was only giving you the lowest setting on one of those dimmer lights, but still…
This is my second last workout before nationals so it was pretty light, mostly just to grease the groove and mentally walk through commands.
Squat
45x10
95x5
135x5
155x3
165x5x2
135x5
Thanks to Ddot76 for checking my depth for me and listening to my mindless yapping. I swear I’m marginally brighter than I appear at the gym. All the blood rushes from my head to pump up my veins and make me look mad swole. In all seriousness, I think I get dumber in the gym. Either that or he makes me nervous.
Bench
45x10
65x5
95x5x3
85x5 pause on last rep
75x10 "
Good mornings
45x10
95x5
135x5
155x5
175x3x5
Chin ups
1x13
1x8
1x5
I ran into Court tonight as well and we had a nice gossip and a laugh. I got to meet another one of her friends (Scott?) and we talked about sweaty asses and bidets. How very continental of us.

Well I was talking about the video but the avatar does look like it was well.
Still I am envious. If I tried Oly lifting I’d end up on you tube with ten thousand people asking “Did that hurt?” in the comments.

Good luck at nationals.[/quote]
Thanks for the good wishes. I’ve trained to kick ass :)Now I just need to do what I do.
I hadn’t watched the video in a while. Pretty hardcore squatting barefoot in jeans with a menagerie at my feet

Your depth was terrific. You’re going to nail it at the Nat’s.
I wasn’t much of a conversation piece either. I had a million and a half things running through my brain last night (and still this morning). So between the two of us, we might have actually lit up a light bulb.

PS: I hope I wasn’t the stinky guy.

No. You weren’t the stinky guy. He was over on the mats when I was stretching.

That’s a relief.
Next week you should work on your squat form using a pole to keep your balance. There’s an instructor at the gym that can help…[/quote]
I saw them doing the pole thing on the way to the change room. I think I have aggression and anger issue because I wanted to whale on him with his pole.
In other news I weighed 55.3 this morning. I need to get heavier. I’m making a batch of protein bars tonight and will just continue getting them down my neck.
