Brute's Book

laugh Well, I walk around most of Tuesday feeling like I’m really high (coming off Sat/Sun/Mon night shift) and it feels like I stare at everything for a few seconds before I can speak or think about it. I know I didn’t used to be that way!

You read my mind on the front squats; I was wondering when you were going to start in on the 115. Et voila, there it is. :slight_smile:

Funny you would say that about your left leg- when I was watching your front squat vid I was thinking how cool it was that you could literally see the power in your legs (by which I mean your leftie) while you were getting ready to unrack the bar. That is weird though, you’d think being your go-to leg on the unrack would give it that extra little oomph. Have you tried doing another set or half set for the left? Might help it catch up. Either way your Bulgarians, as always, are impressive. nod

Meetings, har. I look at them as an opportunity to see how closely I can ride the line between passing ideas that have merit up the chain of command and communicating my utter disdain for my job/work environment with a smile. Good times. :smiley: Hope yours goes okay. :slight_smile:

Hey N :slight_smile: thank you :slight_smile:

Veggie :slight_smile: do try it, its great…oh…and i haven’t fallen off the no cardio wagon…i just was sent a huge amount pof british chocolates…and …um. had let’s just say LOTS of extra energy…:}

Hey Sarah :smiley:

Kristof- meeting wasn’t too awful…and its over thankfully. I’m not sure why its like thatwiht my left leg–> it just fancy like that i guess :slight_smile:

in other tragic news, my exclamation mark/one key is BUSTED on my laptop…i feel like my responses are so sad and lethargic now :{ :{

I really feel like i exclaim things when i talk in real life, so not being able to articulate my enthusiasm is so stifling–> and actually making me tense my shoulders up in frustration → ahhhhh my voice is all confused now… wahhhh

for you:

!!!

Now highlight one of those, press “control+c”, put your cursor where you need to exclaim, and then press “control+v”.

You do exclaim in real life, I love it!

Oh no! <— oops, sorry =(

PMPM is so sweet, borrow some of her marks lol

sorry about your missing exclamation marks.

congrats on the PB!

have you heard about Dan John’s overhead squat challenge?
well, it is probably only me that calls it that. 15 reps at bodyweight.

i’d very much like to do this one day. i bet you can probably do it already.

!!! yei! I totally did it!!! thank you!!!

alexus–oh man…that is a goal of mine, not necessarily ten, but just getting my bw up in the air. I have a while to go. a good 20 pounds at least–which in terms of pp is slowwww going–? maybe next year and a half?
