yeah, i’m totally jealous of your overhead squats. and you got a narrow grip with them… amazing…

Um, yeah…i’m pretty much jealous of all of Bruties lifts!! So damn strong all around.

I love how 95 OHSs are your finisher btw. HAHA! And 135 is ridic.

Awesome DL too mama - freaking incredible!

Lol @ Kristophs “squeak of joy” HAHAH! So cute.

Nice work in here Brute. Strong lifts and feeling good… except for the sleep. So tough when you’re forced to vary from what your body wants to do. Do you ever use meditation or breathing exercises? Sometimes that has helped me in the past when I had trouble falling asleep.

P.S. I’m making my way around the logs to get my fill of all of the accessory work that I haven’t been doing 'cause of the GVT. You know that I love bulgarians. Thanks for doing them :smiley:

Veg—> yei! Bulgarians are great!i shall gladly do them for you!

^^ haha, love the vicarious training :wink:

Super impressive training, Brute!

:smiley: !!! thanks Lanels!!

Hola!

Brute, your front squats are ridonculous. As well as your OH squats, no surprise there.

You’re awesome Brutiful, that is all

You are turning in great numbers on the lifts, really impressive. I can not believe how strong you are. I hope the sleep turns around for you. I have been a night shifter for a long time. So I feel the pain. For me, benadryl and bourbon work as a decent sedative. Not that I would want to be seen as promoting the use of alcohol and drugs. Of course that comes from the person posting at 0200 in the morning. Anyway just stopping in to wish you the best of luck.

Looks like the time away from benching hasn’t hurt you guys at all. 1.75 reps eh? Is that like a ‘P’ in spades? :stuck_out_tongue: Do you do any rowing? I don’t remember seeing it in the lists; might give your bench that extra little something. Also let me say that while your upper end benching is good, the 115x10,8 is very impressive.

laugh Don’t let Frenchie catch you!! She’ll lull you with her smile and her accent, then next thing you know she’s pulling more than you are. :smiley:

I got paid nothing for my time as a rat. I like both professors running the study, and I figure if I want to do one while I’m there putting in time as a subject will make them more likely to give me a hand (this is time #2 as a rat, both times involved a treadmill grumble). I also just like cheese a lot, what can I say? :slight_smile:

Finally, as the kids would say: “wru chinup vids?”

why hello MiM:)

Nikki–i totally did some bb arms just for you and veg today. nearly walked out of the gym, so i did them gansta in street clothes

hkd–i remember you! never forget the fallen…never forget our fellow graveyarders…are you day dwelling now? oh! and thanks :slight_smile:

Oh boy Kristof…well I suppose being in the good graces of a prof is well worth it. And i am also aware that it is NO JOKE. That frenchie is heading my way and i am trying to keep up!

OH! and No kristof, i ever do rows…because i hate them .i should though.

Dude, Brutie, you need to row da fuck. Rows help everything, and you need a stronger back! You ALWAYS need a stronger back!

But i will. Tomorrow I row for you PMPM!
