fantastic meet Brute ! your bench looked really good, how tall are you?
You are a fucking animal. I loved those vids. Great work.
Great meet lady. I loved the videos. You are just about the cutest thing going and you looked like you were having so much fun. I can’t wait to see where you go next.
And vids?!
Whoever said that you’re not supposed to look hawt when maxing hasn’t met you.
And you made it all look so easy!
Wow dude! I can feel the excitement all the way over this side of the world 
:D!!! wow!! Thank you for all the wonderful compliments! :)!!! !!
lil power, I’m 5’8 plus a few centimeters
Thank you Soldog! very very much!
awesome to watch!!
They were pretty harsh with the judging, no?
Thanks for posting the vids. You did awesome. And I was very happy to read that you were pleased with your performance. And gosh, your set up into the bench is just beautiful. You have quite the strong and flexible back.
hey MiM! I’m not sure what degree of hardcore the judges were. At the beginning of the meet i overheard that the squat judge was a stickler, but it seemed he was pleased with the depth for most of our squats.
The bench guy seemed really quite cool. He let us know before hand exactly what he’s looking for so we had a heads up. You’d have to ask PMPM or Snapper what they thought of the judging, I’m just not experienced enough to say one way or the other.
Thanks nadia!!
Judges were fair. Not especially harsh, IMO.
Brutus: So fun to see your vids since I was so wrapped up in my own lifting when you were on the platform. I never noticed before that you unrack for your squats in a split stance. Interesting. Very different than I do it. So much fun!

Yeah, the judges for us were fair and consistent. That’s all I ever ask for. The guy who was historically a squat depth stickler was with me on Sunday, and he seems to be more in line with how most of us are calling depth, so that is cool.
You kind of have my bench setup! I used to back bend on the right side first, and then get under, but now I do a backbend straight back to avoid twisting up my shirt. I think it’s absolutely the best way to be strong and tight.
Have Dan and Jennifer talked to you about leg drive? I think if you spread your legs wider, you will be able to kick through your heels when you start the press, without your ass coming off the bench. Your bench is worlds better than it was the first time I saw you, great work.
You need to keep your chest up with squats. You have plenty of leg and ass power, but you’re getting folded over when you come out of the hole and your back is having to struggle to get the weight back over your center of gravity. You’re so damn strong, it’s scary.

PMPM speaks the truth.
Hell yeah Brute!! You freaking killed it! And you’re right, the bench went phenomenally! nice arch there.

And a special thanks to Soldog for the vids. Its always nice to see the PW in action. Very inspirational. Soldog, was that you rooting in the background? HAHAHA! And that music…so much win!

yeah, yeah, yeah - that was my bark
I didn’t even hear the music until Brute pointed it out and then I couldn’t shut it out, thanks brute…
Loved watching those videos!
You’re bada$$
PMPM- I more then likely copied you in your bench set up! when i started to get my bench thing going a few months ago I looked around at vids, and I like that setup! It helps a lot, especially because it makes me remember to clench my butt. I will definitely try to spread my legs a bit more (whoa) and get my ass in gear.
I do know abut the squat situation as well. Not quite sure when I spazzed and started to get back into old bad ways, but that squat is to be assessed right away.
I tried a bit today, filmed form from the back and WOW…i have some crazy accordion leg movements going that i need to fix. Looks like its re-learn to squat part II. But I’m game! I’m going to try a slightly wider stance and look to the heavens.
Snapper! I have a definite lift off style! I tend to favor one leg over the other, one hip flex or hip joint or something is slightly tighter/higher on one side.
soldog! i was so pleased that i noticed the Madonna’s Vogue --Lady’s with an Attitude --blasting for all the guys to squat too 
ha!! I did like the George Micheal playing for our benching… But that’s just me…had a crush on him since i was very very young.
than you Maschy!!!
hey thanks Bekah thank you for stopping by!
