What happened with your new baby?!
Lol @ “Ultra brute” - so cute.
I eat the same way!! I also find it feels better. Eat big at night, coast during the day. Caffeine is my lifeline. What do the grocery store workers think about your late night excursions? HAHA! You should get to know them.
Soooo cute!!! Congrats!
awesome new pup! He is lucky to have you as a mommy!
Aww so happy that you got him! He’s so cute!
Brute: I hope that doggie gets to be yours too. Sounds like it was meant to be true love at first sight. I love your dls.
oh wow. so he is yours then? cool pup!
325, ROOOAAAAARRR!! Nicely done ma’am. 
Nigel looks really cool; big-headed, but cool. Neat coat he’s got. I also love that there’s a bar with weights on it in the background of the picture but that’s neither here nor there. Congratulations on your new sidekick.
Edit: I give you a short instrumental from my current musical crush in celebration. May it imbue Nigel with metal powah! grin
325 deads and a handsome goofy prince.
good karma goes your way superBrute
Thank you!!! 
wondereful first few days with my pooper. He’s a great dog too!! I need to work on a few things with him, but all in all he’s been great. Today is the first time I’m going to leave him alone in the kennel while i gym it and I think he’ll be alright. but I must wait until normal people hours just in case he decides to bark while i’m gone.
We’ve gone on LOTS of walks! Interesting how just plain walking has my hamstrings and shins sore more then deads have in a long time
oh…he’s a tiny bit sexist…likes the ladies fine but a bit standoffish with men. He needs to be neutered still and also extract his left canines. HE"S LOVELY!!! Very much my family/baby instantly:)
monday- snuck in while he was at the dentist. I was tired. eaten wierd and slept shitty the last 2 days, not on my A game. however i am totally fine with this tit for tat:)
i’m prepared for a slight decline–when i’m real happy sometimes my lifts stall 
warmup
overheads bar, 95, 115x15, 135x16 PR, 145 fail to push up–need to do more push presses,135x6

Aww he sounds so precious! I want frequent pics! <3
Congrats on your OH squat PR. You’re amazing just for even pressing the bar up to position.
The cutest dog! Moochable.
Those OH squats are Awesome!
They make my lumbar area think …Oh, shit! so I still haven’t pushed any weight…but I’m practicing.
Stunned by your strength! Hell yeah, 325! And 145 attempt for OH squats. You are my favorite flavor of crazy!
The pooper is adorable. Might have missed it, but about how old is he?
Aww he’s cute. Glad he’s getting you out on all those walks. Those are good for you!
thanks Nikki and Puff and Veg He’s probably about 6 or 7 months old…and VERY testicular:) big ol balls i need to get taken off. As i type he’s gassing me out with big dog farts. Its kinda cute becaus ei can hear them sometimes!!
NADIA !! OH MAN. I’m telling you my shins and hammies are sore form all the walking I do like walks! Now i have an excuse, and its much more fun with company :)I have a real dog friendly neighborhood so lots of area to ramble as well.
yesterday’s kennel training wasn’t up to speed yet so i had to have his auntie take a visit with him so i can get some pet supplies and sneak a speedy gym session in. i was rushed, and anxious to get back to him so it was a funky one.
benching bar, 115x12, 125x6,135x3, 120x10,130x3,140, 120x8,130x3,135
hammies need a stretch so dl’s bar, 135, 185, 225x22
Bulgarians 135x5/leg, 95x15/leg, 115x8/leg
then ran out.
It was kinda cool those training with my contacts in:D I usually have em off because wearing contacts in Denver is a nightmare but i was in a rush. I didn’t think about it until now how nice that was to see clearly …
i’m going to do some stuff at home with my oly bar today and tomorrow, and probably for a while until i can get him kennel trained. I can manage most things at home except squats and stuff, but I can pick those up later. Between the I’m sore still form the walking and a tinge bit from my fronites on Monday–biceps. I get sore biceps from maxing out on fronties.
SO. plan is rows and pushups…if i can get myself to do anything today
man. I do need a bench spotter. I think i’m stagnating …i KNOW i’m stagnating on bench. I suppose if i’m really going to be serious about july’s meet i need to make a point of being spotted more then just the week before the meet. Perhaps just confidence in a good lift with a spot a few times will help me move on on my own as well…
end note!
Once you get over a certain weight with benches, a spotter is pretty much essential. Otherwise you’ll always shy away from going for that last rep in case you get pinned or drop the bar on your face. A spotter provides peace of mind. Key is finding one who doesn’t help too much!
Nice lifting, as always. You’re quite beastly.
thanks cal :D! yeah, i think i get scared, and don’t go all out :{
well ended up with some clean to push pressin today
105x10,x9,x8, 115x5,125,135,140, major bash and fail on 145, 120x5,x4,x3
bent over bb rows 4 sets of 100x10
going to do more later, off to get cantelope…
I agree not having a spotter on bench totally sucks. I’ve had my husband spot me 2x. Once he let the bar pin me because he didn’t think I was trying hard enough. I was kind of giggly, but he was all intense and “come on” about it. The second time he helped–I thought a little early.
DLs are better. You can either pick the weight up or not. No worries.
I can’t wait to get another dog…I’d never be here though.
‘bye, gotta take the doggie on a walk!’ like 5x a day
Glad your having fun with him… it was meant to be!
When my hammies need a stretch I stretch them… brute DLs 225 for 22 reps.
fml
LOL!
