you know, now that you say that i’ve never tried to clean my bw, i always go straight for reps…HMM!
i doubt i can do it just yet, but there’s hope! I’ve started to like the idea.
and i’ve never push pressed for for a one rep max either–that is how i get my wt up for the overhead squats, i push press then drop to squat it up, vs a total cling and jerk.
Maybe i can get some more for my money. Now i’m curious! I think i gotta go slow,my upper body strength is always soooo slooooww.

A fierce look, a display of power/ability, and a beautiful face and strong, lovely build. Oh and the passion to reach new heights and keep pushing for improvement, You’re a star Sindie, thanks for being so awesome!
Love the pic Brute! So freakn’ badass!! And yeah, should def be your avi.
I so want to do the Olympic lifts, they look like so much fun! But for now i’ll just settle on my snatch (ha!).
Great job on the bench PR! Also in camp “benching blows” - so that’s a great victory right there!
Also sorry about the recent family news. I’m glad you’re there for the fam though, no matter how nuts they make you.
And good job on getting more sleep! Even if it was bennie induced. I didn’t have any problem with tatt colors, but a lymph node in my groin swelled up like a golf ball when i had some tatting done on my ass cheek! It was so weird…but just goes to show how our bodies are giant organisms.
Keep up the great work mama!
thanks ouroboro! owlie! and Mashy!!

Yes Brute, change avvie… NOW!
Damn, that pic is fucking orgasmic <3

You did 65 situps holding a 45lb plate?
just regular old skool situps on the floor with a plate behind your head, its not as hard as it sounds. i like em:)
mocking voice “Just regular old skool situps on the floor with a plate behind your head, not as hard as it sounds”
Screw you Brute, it is hard
^my thoughts exactly.
IT doesn’t hurt your back to do em like that?
I’ve been trying to focus on core moves, standing or on all 4s
ah! i didn’t mean to sound bad! bleh!
MiM - it hasn’t bothered my back yet. I used to do them for years, so i’m not sure if its just that factor. But also I feel them more in my upper abs, so if you want a full abs exercise you might be better off with other things.
today
push presses 115x8x4 sets
cling and jerk over head press 115x4x5 sets, 120x4, 125, 130, 135–pr 
then 100x10,x8,x7
one legged squats–had balance issues…:{
125x5, 120x6x2 sets, 115x7 x 2sets
the one-legged balance bs made me mad! so i did some squats
bar, 135, 185, 225, 245, 265, 275, 285,290, 285, iffy 300, iffy 305.
I used a different rack then i’m used to , and the safety bars were not in a good spot, i need them lower, but not as low as the next rung was. I think i got some leaning issues to deal with too, but i feel the bars had something to do with it. EXCUSES!! HA HA! And i think i needed go deeper too. I’ll get there…
here’s the last attempt. leany and not quite there…but i have hope
PR party! dang nice clean and jerks Brute and your socks or crazy cool.
I am in no way knockin you, cause I’ve never had that much weight on my back…buuuut, it definitely looks leany and you are folding in half to get depth?
yeah i think i am MiM. :{ its an old problem i tend to get when i’m fatigued :{
i appreciate you noticing too, because i thought i was but also was hoping i wasn’t!
I agree it was a bit sketch, but I know you have it with good form. Because damn you looked tired as hell and you still paused for a tiny bit at the bottom and then popped that weight up at the top like it was peanut. Good work, you are off the chain. Just needs a bit of form tweaks, knees out more at the bottom so you can reach depth yadda, yadda, stuff you already know. I can’t tell where the bar is on your back either really from the vid. Do you go a bit high with it? Also I am just amazed you do all this with no belt.
Damn Brute, I didn’t know that clean and jerks were a part of your repertoire.
Pretty damn close to BW too, no?
Very nice squatting.
Shit, that’s fucking awesome squatting.
