hallowed 
thanks for making my log VERY lovely
N
hey kimba thank you
veg, and alexus oh man…yeah its lame. i do like my job, but I work to live, not live to work. i work for my weekends :{…and now to support my Nigel
MiM you are on total pushup war
more and more nightmare work nights continue…i even get to work five days a week instead of four for the next two weeks. lovely. not more hours, just 8 hours days instead of ten which is FAR worse. I’d rather work more and have more days off for fuck’s sake :{
but whatever.
today
warm up
deads bar, 135, 185, 225, 255, 275, 285x10, 305, 320, 330, 275x5, 265x6,x6,x5, x4,x4
reverse alt lunges 95x10 total not per leg for all these sets, 115x10,125x10, 135x7
overheads bar, 95, 115x18
pushups- yesterday- 17 need to do them today still
Chest all the way to the floor?
I did 48 total at the gym…not all at once sadly.
as far to the floor as i can do without falling over. I’ve got long arms so its not turbo low. actually now that i think about it , i should see how low i go!!
nice job with the 48! I’m trying for a single set of 50, going to do one set a day adding one rep as long as it takes to get there… should be a longish ride there

Have you seen that?
Brute you’re so awesome.
Granted whatever pride I feel in my training subsides when I read yours, but you’re awesome nonetheless.
Fuck the man for trying to keep you dooooowwwwwnnnnnn!!!
But try to make the best of the 8 hour 5-day work weeks anyway =D
ooo cool thanks Mim- well looks like i can try other ways now. I do them with my hands fairly wide, and fingers facing in, i should mix it up!
NIKKI- UH!!!-Your log has the same effect on me !!
forgot to do pushups yesterday…fell asleep! today i got 20
well i was awakened by the hot death of my apartment early tonight so i tried to gym it. i should have waited a day. I didn’t realize until after my first few sets that THIS is why i wait a day after dl’s for fucks sake :{
ALSO some dude was on my rack for my overheads so i didn’t get to do them first . i think these really help to loosen, warm me up and also tighten me up for fronties. blast. well can’t be a party everyday.
fronties bar, 95, 155x15, 155x8,x7, 135 x9,x8 quit. back was saying uh uh. its not hurt, just tight and rather pissed off. i’ll stretch it well. wait a bit to do more stuff.
another mistake was walking Nigel about this time of night. Sure the sun’s down and that’s my kinda thing but SWARMS of skeetos everywhere. i’m sure i’ve been bitten head to toe, hair, face , fucking neck. so gross :{
Brute! You’re doing awesome in here, and I think you even go up a few notches with Nigel in tow! While I could see myself living in Denver, that bullshit law against pits causes me to think twice. Not sure if you’re up on the pits’ history, but: Pit bulls’ surprising past: Nanny dogs

I want this. Just name me your price 
Aw gee, I need to work push ups in too. A single set of 50 is a cool goal!
there’s times im lifting with Molly E at EFS and I ask myself how the FUCK I’ll ever get close to being that strong… its a sonofabitch bc we’re the same weight… makes me wanna try harder.
then i come here and see your training and i wonder how i can eek out a few more lbs… its hard to wrap my mind around 25 more lbs on my dl for reps. (my pr is 305)
keep kicking ass, i like looking up and seein teh brute!
(@ beast- so many kinds of win in that pic)
Poor mosquitos probably just trying to lift some heavy shit like its host lol
If I see any jacked mosquitos as a result of them feasting on your blood, just call me Queen of the Damned.
I’m so jealous of your front squats! Way to kill it. Keep up the good work.
BEAST!!! AWWW!!! what a handsome pup you’ve got!!! Denver is ridiculous in that respect. There are plenty of people who have pitties and can slide under the radar ok, but the fact that you have to is beyond stupid.
That being said, last night at work we took in an abuse case form the cops. A white pitty that looks alot like yours being used as a bait dog. Bite wounds all over, scarred everywhere, very very submissive to the point of being really unpredictable etc. Totally sweat dog and probably going to death row because of his idiot owners.
It took me a lot of thought and consideration to take on a dog because of that–i wasn’t planning on moving, and i prefer pitty and bully breeds! I’ve owned 3 in my lifetime It just so happened a “mastiff” walked into my life that I just had to go for it.
but not all areas have a ban. The Denver Metro area is not huge, but there are a few counties that have no breed restrictions. and if i get sweated I’m moving with Nigel in toe!
N!!! You’ve already GOT that in that booty already–just waiting…waiting to pounce and ruin everything for me, I mean give you Pr’s :{
Nadia! its going to be a hard goal too. I have a belly situation. as in i need to figure out how to do these push ups right so my belly doesn’t hit first. or i can loose the belly. but the push ups probably will come faster I’ve watched myself do them and I have got to be doing them like a reject. doesn’t look right, I feel like my arms are so long and I’m miles away from the floor at full extension. like a sixty degree angel form the floor :{
Cbear!! OH MY GOD. If i trained with Molly I’d be thinking the same thing! She’s Power Barbie in the good way Tell her I seid WORD . I have similar thoughts over your bench…>:{ I can’t even imagine how much that wt would feel like in the bench position. I really doubt I’ll get here anytime soon. maybe in a few years…buit I’m still trying…slow hole to china style !
Nikkie:) OH ITS SO GROSS. I have bites on my eyebrows.
Hey Ironcross!!! Thanks for poppin in :D!
I really needed all the good vibes! I’m a nervous wreck worrying about my baby getting his dental today. he is getting a root canal and maybe an extraction on his canines. He had a busted up grill–broken canines and a slab fracture on his incisor from being swung into the cop car by an overzealous officer who picked him up at the scene of the car accident…good old denver. His head is massive–they swing him really hard.
today
warm up
overheads bar, 95,120x12, 130x10, 140x8,135x10, 135x8, 135x8, 115x17
in between a few of those were about four failed to push press up 140. I growled and sighed.
i have GOT to work on my push presses. 140 up to 145 should not be this hard 
clean to push press 100x10, 105x8,111x5, 120x3, 130, 105x8,95x5
Do you have yellow flies by you? They’re bothering the shit out of me and my co-workers. If you see or know what happens when a yellow fly bites you, then count your blessings.
Luckily I haven’t been a victim as of yet. knock on wood
Uhm, all of that was awesome. Cleans to push presses, the push presses, the millies.
Holy shit woman.
Okay, you rue my bench and i’ll rue your sq/dl.
it’s probably gonna sound stupid, but when training is regular and normalike, (read, not this past two weeks coming back from my time off) after a certain #, shit just feels heavy, and either moves or it doesnt.
145 feels the same to me as 175 and 195 (<-- last one ive done to a 2board), its just there. which is weird to keep adding weight and keep doin it sometimes, but the others tell me that’s kinda how it goes. I’ll get asked how a lift felt, and I’m still not aware of things enough to say something like, “I think my left tricep started tapdancing after the press command” or whatever the fuck they say.
My answers vary between “feels like shit. I wanna do more.” and “feels like shit. cutting that off there.” feels like shit when im doin it, feels way better to look at it after i get up and go “HA! i MOVED you! take THAT!”
i don’t say that out loud anymore
Glad Nigel is doin well, he’s so lucky you took him in.
Nikki–EEWWWW!!! Oh my god no we don’t have yellow flies!!! those sound horrible!!! Biting bugs are disgusting!! I’m lucky here in Denver we have a fraction of the creepy crawlies the south and the coasts have. rare fleas, occasional tick, flies here and there, mosq only in the summer and by the water, and ants maybe. Definably a perk!
Cbear- OH MAN. For me, I feel every added pound of a upper body exercise. Probably because I’m still a newbie for the most part in that area since i neglect it in compared to lower body. One forty to one forty five is monstrously annoying change for me >:(
yesterday night i ended up going back to the gym since i was so nervous over Nigel still. I had slept maybe 2 hours in 24, but i was hardly fatigued running on nervous energy. This is an example of how I’m RIDICULOUS sometimes. I’m one of those people who kinda fear commitment–for me one of the reasons is because i love hard and CRAZY. I get very attached, very absorbed, and freak out imagining how awful its going to be if anything happens to the object of my affection. I get afraid i’ll lose them!–and this alone has kept me form approaching alot of relationships further.
Dogs are no different for me then. SO anyways, his root canal went fine but he had an awful recovery form anesthesia. WAAAAY dysphoric. Poor guy But he’s ok, just needs to get snipped and pexy’d and he’s golden
benching yesterday 115x10,125x5,135,120x7,130x2,140 maybe 80%,125x5,135,135 over it.
