I can snatch a kettlebell but I just can’t get my head around a barbell snatch. I’m mildly dyspraxic so sometimes it takes me a long time to master complex moves. We’ll see what happens when I do my Oly workshop next month.
Deadlifting is awesome, as always. (Jealous!) I’m also envious of the sushi. I love that stuff!
I’m crushed out on your dumbbell rows and looking forward to seeing your snatch.

lots of us are.
Now I want to do the BB walkouts 
Heh heh monkey see, monkey do.
Great DL PR!
And your form can’t be that subpar for the Oly. Subpar is when you hit yourself with each rep or feel like you’re going to fall backwards and have to pray that you don’t make a scene in front of everyone… like me ;D
a kettlebell snatch actually seems harder to me. hmm.
thanks nikki. rock some walkouts. they’re fun. and i really find them helpful to get my body used to staying upright with weight on my traps.
damn my snatch feels loved.

oh quick question. when i foam roll my ass i can feel a giant ball in my left glute. what do i do??? just use a hard ball and try to break it up??? when i’m on the foam roller i can feel it “jump” over the “knot” or whatever it is. if anyone knows anything about this holla. =+)
Stellar workouts deja!
your strength is simply incredible - both lower and upper. I’m amazed!
Seriously, great work in here.
I know this chick didn’t do farmer walks with 70# now. Ugh, I still had to do the 60#s!
Yeah, I imagine the walkouts help the body get used to the weight. And it’s a bonus that other people will stare like “Did she just squat that weight? Darn, I wasn’t looking. But that’s hot.” lol
Nice rowing girl, I’m not even trying to catch up on you with those.
And those hang cleans and push presses killed me with 75# x 4, so I applaud you.
Take a lacrosse ball and sit on it on a table or other hard surface and roll it around til you make something change. You can also extend your leg, if you are sitting on a table with the lacrosse ball under your hurty hurt “goat” then extend your foot in & out and work that around til you get it worked out.
Or use a BB on the floor and roll on it like you do your foam roller.
thanks masch and nikki. yeah i had to try walking around with the 70’s. i get bored sticking with the same weight. they rearranged the gym so now i have to make more turns and stuff to get the 50 steps. they KILL mah grip… especially after pullups and rows. love em. =+)
yeah n8tive i did roll around on a ball for awhile but i didn’t get much change. even did the pumping thing too. (you can tell i’ve been watching a lot of mobilitywod vids eh? haha) i’m guessing i just need to work on it harder and longer. boo! mostly cuz i have nowhere to do it at home and have to wait til i’m nannying tomorrow. oh well. gives me something to do. =+)
and good idea on the barbell. i’ll try that next time i’m semi alone at the gym. thanks!
Yep sounds like we have been hitting the same Mobility Vids 
How about some heat and then try rolling it?? Otherwise I am totally out of ideas Chicca!! Sorry `~~
ok sweet. tomorrow i’ll try some heat and then nailing it for as long as possible with a ball.
lol i’m watching tv right now and there’s a goat in the living room on “how i met your mother” and it’s baaaaing. i take it that’s a sign i best deal with this one of mine. =+)
heat and a ball, or heat and a rolling pin work, too.
beer and a frenchie massage? what? just trying to help…lolz.
I have no help for you there A - sorry bout that.
+15 on neutral grip pullups is very awesome. Very.
I’m picturing the looks that I’ll get rolling my booty on a barbell 
I almost caught up to your damn 70s on the farmer walks. But I just couldn’t do it
Sometimes I hate my competitive edge lol

i was using what looked like the newest barbell and it sucks monkey balls for gripping. my grip was slipping so bad on the 275’s. i need to remember to bring in chalk on dl day.
i was at the gym about 1.5 hours before football starts and i was the only soul there 80% of the time. yay!
yay awesome workout!
thats a LOT of deadlifting.
What happened with your deads? Did you take a big step back for form work or…? Don’t know how to ask this without coming off assholish. Not my intent. Just know you used to pull 330+.

lol you come off assholish no matter what you try. don’t worry about it. =+P
i pulled 330 after coan philippi… but that was well over a year ago. didn’t do much deadlifting this last year. mostly because i was working 15 hour days, 7 days a week and a lot of it was farm stuff and i couldn’t swing it with heavy lifting. and then i went through the breakup and spent more time crying than working out. lol
i think my 1rm now is around 300. but i should be able to hit the 3 x 325 goal by june i think. and do so MUCH leaner than when i hit the 330.
