Hmm…interesting…

Since i just re-injured my hammie my PT assessed that I have a weak pelvis (i.e. weak glutes and core - quad dominant). I’ll have to see if i can squat similarly to what you’re doing here - altho without a coach or trainer watching form, who knows…

On a side note - damn you cute! I always thought you were a blonde. lol![/quote]

Ha, I was a blonde a few years back but I don’t think I was on here yet.

Having someone call out “sit back! sit back!” has been crucial to my learning it this fast. If you don’t have a buddy to do this, try taping each set and watching the play back between sets to see if you’re making the adjustment. I pretty much feel like I’m falling backwards (hence the plop) to get back far enough. It’s a weird feeling but I have faith the box is there and it’ll stop me from actually falling. For that reason, I can’t do these without the box yet.

whoah, thats really cool!

Imma be mad if you beat me to two plates though…guess I should get on that.

Two plates = 220lbs? That would be impressive.

ahhh, yes, relearning the squat…just remember your posterior chain will eventually be stronger that a quad dominant squat!

2 plates each side = 225# squat…do I foresee a race somewhere here?

225 was one of my goals this year…oh well. Next year, it’s ON!! :slight_smile:

bets! ha ha! what are you at now? thank you for posting that vid, i gotta check it out:P

In the video that was 140. I barely feel the weight, it’s all form work right now. I bet I could put up 185 today, it just wouldn’t be the way they want it. Lightweight buddy!

funny you say 185…

I had a dream last night I was doing box squats with 185 like it was nothing! :slight_smile:

Bobbi: To clear up any confusion that 225 squat in 4 months is all you. I will just be watching and stealing inspiration from a far.

That’s cool. I still dream about football. I don’t think my subconcious has realized it’s lifting yet.

Ah, thanks buddy. It’s not all that inspiring though, there are a lot of women here squatting in the high 200s, even 300+. Ridonkulous.

Went in thinking I was going to get a plate to my chest and cut 125 an inch high! I was so pissed. Thankfully I made up for it by doing 10 single pullups with 20% bodyweight on a belt, amongst other things. http://bobbiskai.blogspot.com/2010/11/powerlifting-westside-me-bench-week-2.html

youll get it next time!!

Yeah, you got it the next time fo sho’ and good on you for not listening to that dude and setting up your own way. You know what’s best for you sometimes.

Pullups w/ 20% BW bitch I’m still chasing you down home slice.

those pullups are wicked. I can manage 1-2 when I’m 10lbs lighter but I’ve given up on them at this point.

I’m with nlmain, I still work them but with bands to help this lard get up there.

Yeah well I ain’t one of them, so it’s hella inspiring.

Great work in here, I like the blog

Stupid. Just fucking pissed. Was in there 4 hours this morning and feel like I accomplished nothing. http://bobbiskai.blogspot.com/2010/11/powerlifting-westside-de-squat-and_20.html

dude, that’s like an assload of work and good weight too. why do you say you feel like you accomplished nothing?

Eh, nothing felt strong. It didn’t help that right off the bat I had to go lift by myself because the green bands were too much. Speed squatting 105 is a joke. I should have overhead pressed it after each rep.haha Maybe it’s just that it’s overcast and drizzling here in socal, and the dreariness is throwing me off.
