Somehow I missed all this video and workout hotness… and Chipotle!!!
Oh, how I love Chipotle… hmm.
You’re looking good to me Brute, but what do I know haha
ha!! thanks Hallowed! For some reason the last few months i’ve become quite vocal lifting. BROTARDING IT–and i kinda dig it 
oh! thanks kimba and nikki
When you lift that much weight, you’re allowed to be vocal.
Now when you’re squatting what I squat, it would seem kinda silly to make any noise at all.
snapper , you have NOTHING to be less then proud of, and also very high standards for yourself–which you should be proud of to!
oh what a waste of gas to the gym today. i did a whole lot of nothing. really,i did benching 125x3x 2 sets, then 2 single sof 135 so that’s exciting. and then i left.
just one of those no start days. I blame the bread i had yesterday. i’m swollen as all get out from the carbos…but also in a really pleasant chill mood. stoned on challah.
Just so you ladies know, although I wouldn’t wish this place on any of you, I do wish you were here so these weak, lazy ass females could see what they are capable of. The mere mention of “weights” and they run screaming. Or they look at me and think they’ll get as big as me. Truly a shame… Keep up the good work, and Brute, I’ll be watching your vids prior to all of my workouts! You train with about the same volume I do! That is pure awesomeness!

You are normally pretty carb free right?
That bread musta seratonined you up!
We all have our wasted days. I had one yesterday too. Do you have any kind of pre-workout rituals that help you pump up?
hey beast!! Why thank you! I lived in the UK a few years ago and had no access to any real wts…it was awful 
I’m glad I’m home!
yep, Hallowed. I’m usually low carb and the carbs i get usually on the weekends are fruity…that freakin bread was good but i still feel lazy and swollen.
hey bobbi! i usually checkout these fantastic forums before working out…and lately watching The Jersey Shore online has been a pre workout ritual. GTL minus the T is pretty rad.

I had to go to urban dictionary to figure out what the hell you were talking about. lol

coming form the deadlift queen herself (that’s you deja!) thank you!! :D!
they are not all pretty-- But I’m still proud :)![/quote]
These are very pretty looking to my eyes and they look easy as crap. I like the grunting. The last time I did that with any appreciable volume was a set of 10 snatch grip deads on the fifth set. They freaking kill me. It was at a commercial gym and I don’t think the guy near me knew what to make of it. That’s okay.
I watched the squat video and the back rounding looked to me like fatique. You didn’t look like you were arching hard enough or had the stamina to hold a tight back. I feel like that when I’ve done a lot of sets because the set up wears me down. You are strong as an ox and I don’t think you are anywhere near tapping where you will.
Squats require a lot of mental concentration, for me anyway - I’m constantly thinking about “tight abs, knees out, back arched, head up…” ugh. I’m not really built for squatting so I have to think about everything. It’s mentally exhausting!
hey o! thanks!!! i love getting your compliments:) they are pretty cool at the 24hr by my house surprisingly.
cal- i think you’re right. i was in la la land. i’m going to try again in a few days.
ha!! so now you’re down with the GTL now Bobbi :)!

You have great spirit to do with exercise. keep your hard work up!
thanks natalie!!

here’s the last attempt. leany and not quite there…but i have hope[/quote]
nice socks/boxer combo.
I was using these little 1.25kg weights to stand on for the last month… until today. I realized the reason I was falling over backwards all the time while squating was because I wasn’t sticking my ass out enough. I was actually attempting to tuck my pelvis in for whatever reason (subconscious fear of being anally raped at the gym?) After analzying the angle of your hips in this video, I was inspired to try squatting again without the heal lifts. It worked. So thanks. I’ll try to post a vid at some point in the next six months. got to upgrade my socks first.

Buahahahaha! I lolled at that subconscious fear. For me with squats it was all my little girl ballet training pelvis tucked pelvis tucked pelvis tucked. Squats go against all of that. I do lots of weird budha belly gorrilla chest shit to get over it.
Brute you kilt those DLs! PRs FTW.
hey Bre! the socks are mandatory…they have total powers. I can’t wait to raid target after Halloween and get the Halloween ones for half off.
thanks hallowed!! you were a ballet dancer? nice!
today
clean and jerk overhead press- 95x8, 115x5,x4 x6 sets
100x8, 105x8, 110x7,115x4, 120x2, 125
one legged squats 95x10, 105x9, 115x7, 125x6, 135x5, 145x2, 155x1, and a fail 165 :{ i couldn’t help it i had to try. then 115x7,x4
then i hit a wall and called it quits.
do you take supplements?
also, we’re pretty much the same size i think. You still have 10kgs on me…but maybe not for long.
