I can’t wait to hear the results form your mini meet! Hmm hips being uneven. That is a whole other ball of wax to chew on.
WHAT? 2 BRUTES? flippin faptastic!
oh and you should really see a chiro, and get massages regularly!
both of those do get pricey though…
However if you’re the luckiest bitch on the planet, like myself…having a chiropractor for a mother and a massage therapist for a dad and step mom…
Le sigh, I live all the way across the country from the folks though.
anyways, yeah. when I’m back stateside I try to get to the chiro every week.
_Queer
mel - that’s a cushy Queen’s position right there 
looks like you were born in the right family!
My head is still reeling with the knowledge that there are two Brutes.
^ That.
Hope your sis made it safely!
mmm a Brute samich. just kiddin! (not really
blahhhhhhh!!! I have the flu!!! 
UUUHHHHH
the night before last was full of hallucinations, feverish chills, nauseous weirdness…just typical dramatic flu AWFUL I fell like i’ve been dragged thru a field! bruised all over and beaten! WAHHH!!
needless to say its been a napping, couch, fluid drinking weekend for me. I’m just happy i got sick on my days off so i won’t miss work. lame but convenient. i dunno when i’ll start working out again, maybe tomorrow.
my twin is fraternal! she’s a bit shorter, brown hair, brown eyes–also a complete genius. REALLY–she’s incredibility smart–i brag about her because she’s a total genius but way cool about it. She was at my meet so you might have met her Snapper:)
MEL–I am so jealous! i don’t think i’m going to have any chiro work in the near future i can’t afford it! …i could however start looking to date one…or a massage therapist. that would be pretty awesome!
What? superwoman can catch the flu? I’m stunned. Get well soon Brute!

this. bahahha. 
GET BETTER! Uhg. Flu sucks. last time I had the flu, I had a fever so high that I was hallucinating and talking to myself. chills/sweats suck. uhg.
I hope you feel better soon!
thanks nlmain and mel!
thanks!!! i am on full whining attack mode now… i’ve harassed everyone i know with pitiful text messages and emails full of frowny faces and moaning …it helps so much to bitch 
awww, at least you get to rest…
Get better soon!!
You should lure them to your lair so you can harass and guilt them for being well in person. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been struck down! Can’t wait for you to come back up swinging with a vengeance.
Hi Sindie, hope you feel better!
Uneven hips could be caused by several things; it could be anatomical, as in you were born with it. It could caused by your body compensating for a problem elsewhere, say in your lower back. With limited funds, your best options would be to stretch and foam roll emphasizing on your IT bands, glutes, hip flexors. Get in there with a tennis ball, painful but effective.
hey skye! thanks for the advice! is IT internal tensor?? i think mine are NOT genetic, its something i kinda began noticing over the last few years…
Iliotibial band…runs along the side of your thigh. It’s amazing how much trouble that little thing can cause! I’ve noticed my squats are wAAY better when I foam roll those before I lift…
I also don’t think you’re anatomically short,your body’s just compensating for a fixated ilium/sacrum.
The human body is amazing at finding its way around little problems.
Heya Brute, Just stopping by - see you have the flu. Sucks. And it sounds like a helluva bout too. Feel better!!
And yes, texting frowny faces is the best option when under the weather. HAH!
hmm…now skye,you make me want to do that foam rolling i am supposed to be doing but i don’t–bad bad. i think with the next paycheck i’ll get one. and i guess learn how to actually do it? i’m sure i can find something online ? i take it is just rolling that foamy noodle over stuff? onto tings? i should know this but i don’t!
your schooling is showing and i appreciate the info!!! the body is a BADASS! way interesting how it compensates and patches up stuff…
thanks masherano! i am actually feeling better-- getting there i managed to get to the gym and even do some single squats.
I’ve now decided on my first 2 attempts for the meet in July. I figure if i can manage them at 80% of feeling normal then word!
bar, 95,135, 185, 225, 245, 265, 275, 285
i’m thinking 260-265 for a first, and 280 or 285 whatever kilo thingie for a second attempt. in the next few days its dead lift and bench thought process…i still have some time, but i am a nerd
haha, you sound like me! Not a clue here about how to roll,
I might have to learn just so it feels like Im getting a massage…no hubby to rub my shoulders
Glad you are feeling better…my squat attempts would be like 100 lbs less than yours…DAMN!
Your 24 Hour gym should have foam rollers. Look by the stretch mats and med balls. Thick PVC piping works well too.
Yep. I did see you with a friend at the meet. Didn’t realize she was your twin!
Sorry about the sickness, but if you’re hitting 285 in the cage when you’re under the weather . . . well, I can’t feel too bad for ya.
