Bravo work - You sure did suck it up and pushed thru your barriers. Stellar drive, very inspriring especially since I seem to feel a bit worn out today. I dont have an excuse now 
toughin it out, Deja - Great job.
Pushing through and moving some weight.
This is positive. I know you can see that your form needs help, but I think you looked good and are progressing.
Good stuff~
i’m all about a pretty snatch.
barbell didnt hide ALL your cleavage, though. nice visual warmup to your snatch.
still in the gutter, yup
Deja: I’m proud of you for bringing in that camera and going after and achieving your goal even though the circumstances were not ideal. You are a powerful woman.
yah i’m pretty shy so posting snatch and cleavage for the world to see took some guts. feel free to return the favor. ;+)
thanks guys. yeah it was definitely not pretty, but i’ll chalk it as a win and move the hell on.

Deja you cutie
awesome work on the snatches followed by a superfly front squat PR.
you are on fire girl!
deja it is GREAT to see you again!! Its been a long while between videos and I missed you.
Looking very fine, both in hawtness and in strength. I was SO cheering for you on those snatches! Now I’m fired up about snatches again.
If you are coming out this way, please bring very tall snowboots and a warm coat. In the meantime, enjoy that sunshine and warmth for the both of us. You are doing SO AWESOME with all of your goals!
nope… not running any specific “diet”. just do my own thing/rules. carbs/cals heaviest on leg days, lightest on rest days. and one leg day i take cals nice and high so i can fulfill a few cravings, party with friends a bit, and replenish glycogen. when i take calories this low on the low days i have to eat really high quality food to feel good and feel full… if i revert to a bunch of processed diet food i will feel like shit and not recover with all the workouts… so having those LOW days forces me to do a lot of cooking and makes sure i have lots of chicken, steak, and veggies around at all times.
thanks N’S! =+)
aww kimba your post just made my day!!! thanks for the kind words. and i’m doing my best to soak up every warm second i have here before i head to the snowy abyss. agggh!!!

strong workout all around Deja.
I’ve heard some pretty bad stuff about the behind the neck presses and yet you’ve been doing them regularly. what’s your take on em?
saunshine + bikini + book = heaven
yeah for lots of people they’re hard on teh rotator cuffs and feel awkward. they feel fine but i make sure to keep them light, controlled, and not go below my ears. i only rotate them in for a few weeks every few months and just try my best to stay on top of shoulder mobility and flexibility. it’s the only lift that SHOT my military press up like a mother… so i cycle them in on occasion and don’t fret too much. i definitely don’t go heavy on them though. =+)
I covet those rows and weighted pullups. Really strong, deja!
wow deja!!! you have such power! I loved your vid :)!! …and I’m jealous of the green gym. 24 hour is so lame with its mauves and pastels.
Again and again you amaze!
still mad about the weather.
and yeah, good lifting and stuff also.

if they do wonders for your press and your being smart about them then that’s good enough for me. I might even give them a try next time.
YAY! An elusive Deja vid…and of your snatch no less…and yeah, you’re so freaking cute!!
You got nice form on that snatch missy. Good work. And i’m sure next time you attempt 65s with your full glycogen stores you’ll totally kill it.
And excellent upper body workout. 125x3 on the rows is great. You can obviously row bw, which i think is pretty freaking cool.
Oh yeah, and eff you and your bikini wearing, outside reading weather…jk! enjoy it while you can
