I had so much energy at the gym today but couldn’t do anything. I guess I’m going to have to try to store it for the weekend. Bah.
Oh and if bloatface is any sort of indicator of readiness for a meet, I seem to be there. I looked nice and red and puffy on squats. I personally think this is really cool, but at the same time a little disturbing since I’m not a 300 pound man with high blood pressure that takes too much Anadrol.
Also, despite not following my normal diet, I’m continuing to weigh under 140 in the mornings so no worries about weight classes there.
Now I just need to find a shirt to wear under my singlet. I was going to wear my superman cutoff, but it, along with just about every other shirt, isn’t tight enough to fit comfortably under my itty bitty singlet. Hmm…
And is it Friday yet?
Oh look. A new PM.

To the creepy dude, you can get your own pair at chynnadolls.com. That’s why you were PMing me, right? To find out where I got my cute outfit so you can buy one for yourself?

I know the first thing that comes to MY mind when I see you in that swim suit is “DAAAAMN I wonder where she got them shorts”.
SH- Does that mean you’re going to buy me more? I really like the solid purple one 0:)
Went to the gym today. On the way there, I stopped at the Home Depot and picked up a 2 ft length of 4 inch diameter PVC. I prefer the pipe to my foam roller but have been too lazy to go to the store to pick one up.
45 minutes of mobility included:
*Rolled quads/it band for 12 minutes total
*LAX ball to piriformis
*Proud Pigeon pose about 6 different times
*Lunging around
*Sit and reach
*3 sets of 10 squats with body bar
*Calf stretching and rolling
treadmill 10 min
Calves hurt like a motherfucker and while I was rolling them a gym-friend, (who is just full of ridiculous little lines) looks at me and says “No pain, no…pain?” and I think that actually sums up restorative stuff like foam rolling pretty well.
Almost time to party!
YES! Your log needs more PVC!
The creeper provides lulz, just like this^^

Good luck in the upcoming comp. SFW!
Good luck in your meet this saturday BG.
Thanks everyone!
I’m weighing in this afternoon and stronghold promised me Chipotle and/or Olive Garden afterwards. Can’t wait for that. Om nom nom.
Meet manicure is done. I did a bright blue polish and covered it with glitter. The photo doesn’t do it justice. It will be completely chipped off by the end of the day tomorrow, but I’m enjoying how obnoxiously glittery it is for now. And it will match my DL socks.
I’m feeling pretty good, other than having hit my left IT band a little too hard with the PVC yesterday which is now feeling kind of bruised. Leg is tender to the touch but doesn’t actually hurt to use. Should be ok tomorrow.
Kill it
Good luck!
LWI and Dominate!
love the polish - I went for a super girly bright neon fuschia for my meet in June
Thanks guys!
Mainy- Neon pink is normally my go to for ridiculous polish but I decided to change it up and do the blue this time. I figure it will match my outfit nicely. Cause all that really matters at a PL meet is how cute your outfit is…
I weighed in this afternoon at 141 fully clothed and partially fed. While I was there, I also found out that I am the only female lifter (lame) and there will be several 70+ year old men competing (totally awesome).
The meet directors seemed really nice and they even had “goodie bags” for all of the lifters that included a meet t-shirt, a bottle of water, some supplement samples, a PL USA magazine and even a snack bag full of trail mix. Something tells me that they’re interested in everyone having a successful meet and a good experience. The host gym also has fully functioning AC which is very important since I’m sure it will be well over 90 again tomorrow.
Weigh-ins put some of my fears to rest and I’m no longer concerned about the meet itself and am looking forward to SFW tomorrow. Crazy gym friend is riding along to the meet with SH and I, and Awesome Knee-wrapper Friend will be there too. It will be a good day
Here’s a hearty don’t suck.
Have fun, smash weights!
Alright! Meet report time!
Squat:
225–Good! 3 whites
245–Good! 2 whites
265–Good! 2 whites
*All of my squats felt pretty easy and I think it’s pretty safe to say that I left a little in the tank.
Bench:
125–Good
135–Good
145–Fail
*I got out of my groove on the last attempt and couldn’t recover. Right elbow kinda flared and I just couldn’t power through.
I tried to train with a longer than normal pause just in case the judge was slow to give the press command. Its a good thing I did because he made us hold the bar FOR.EV.ER. One dude looked like he jumped the command–like it was totally touch and go–and still got whites for it. Would have been nice to get a call as quick as he did. Oh well. I got my “plate”. An official BW bench will have to wait for another time.
Deadlift
225–Smoke Show! 3 whites
255–Easy! 3 whites (10lb raw PR)
275–HELL FUCKIN YEAH! (30lb raw PR AND 10lbs over my best equipped pull)
*SH decided that my opener was way too easy and I needed to take a bigger jump. Went for 255, got it and went for almost-but-not-quite-broke with 275. If I was at the gym instead of a meet, I totally would have gone for 280-285 after so that I could finally have that stupid double body weight pull already.
Total: 675 (30lb PR over my best equipped total from 2 years ago)
In summary, the meet went well. With the exception of the occasional amateur spotter/loader mistakes, it was well run and seemed to go pretty smoothly. I feel like I left a few pounds on the platform, but better to say that because of easy third attempts rather than missed attempts. I got the numbers I was most concerned about getting.
Everyone at the meet was awesome. I guess being the only girl competing, I stood out because there were about a half dozen ladies that came up to me and told me how inspirational it was to see a woman on the platform. That made me feel really good. So did watching two 80 year old men (that looked like they were in their 60’s) complete the meet as a Push/Pull.
Also, the meet director’s wife, who is close with Hannah Johnson, told me she was going to start calling me “The Next Hannah” which I don’t think is accurate at all, but it was a HUGE compliment to even be compared to her, considering when I was first getting into powerlifting I saw her log on EFS and was like “I wanna be like her! She’s awesome!”
