Brutikai! I’ve been missing out on my daily booster for a while now. Gotta fix that. Lifts looking good. .10 squatter/stepper looked like Latino Heat in my vid last year, and I hope you get the proper discount on the rent, too. Feeling properly boosted now. Thank you.

went and spend some time with my lover The Overhead Squat today. I worked two extra days this so I was still beat.

274x4 on the deads after some super strong overhead squats is a win in my book.

Just so you know, I’ve saved this picture as it has an awesome pup, as well as an enchanting Brute.
Also, my shoulders said a big “F-U” to me when I attempted overheads this morning. Couldn’t maintain 135 AT ALL. It’s why I didn’t even log my work this morning. Just a bad time overall.
What a great pic, Brute. Should be your avi.
^^ Cosign!
I’m going to suggest you go over the the get a life forum and read the widow maker challenge thread. Reading it made me think of the rep queen. The challenge is 20 reps of whatever; squat, deadlift, bench, front squats, etc. Post a video.
You’re my hero.
Thank you!! You all made a great day even better! I got my octopus worked on. Kraken will be finished…maybe soon :}
oh My N…he’s a love. Not too bright but 100% in love with his Brute as I to him! we are total nerds blissfully walking in the great fall weather. So thankful for him.
Hark thee Maximus (el beasto)! you overheading it too? whoo hoo! They aren’t something you can do everyday, any lil weirdness in balance, vision, freaking anything and its just not worth attempting. God …I’m having more of those days lately of just jumbly workouts. I’d rather forget them too :{
thanks snap and kristof!..friday is our family portrait day. The Fury Holiday Card photo will be taken. I’ll probably change it for my big 30 too.
Oh my O! I thank you for the heads up to that lovely rep thread. You know I do them for you…I do! I have so many heroes on this site and have be fortunate to meet 3 in person 
A very good, happy day. No workout but still great
Glad things are looking up for you! And I think we need a photo of your kraken once it’s done.
you seem so happy and in a good place…hope it stays that way for awhile…you deserve it!!
thanks Mim and Cal! I am a lot happier!

Looks like I’m going to have to fight with my apartment place for some comparable compensations for the flood. There was nothing listed as a discount on my rent notice today so I called and asked why. The apparently forgot completely in the billing department, or someone didn’t communicate with someone else… So that’s the first insult.
Then I was put on hold for a lil while. then told I was getting $75 for the 4 days. I guess its four days of rent–and that’s literally all. So i told then lady it wasn’t going to cut it and she kindly placed me on hold again.
Then after being on hold for a few minutes I get pretty much a read aloud sentence from a nervous office person clearly from some piece of paper how this is a standard procedure. “we don’t even have to do this but it in good faith we are giving you a discount for the days you had to stay out of your place. renter’s insurance covers this.” i would ask things then she’s reply “renter insurance covers this”
I don’t know if i need to consult the people above my apartment’s renter insurance agency or what, but i don’t see how their policy would cover faults in the apartment buildings plumbing. they were out of town for two weeks apparently and had done nothing to cause this according to the maintenance dude. I myself do not have renters insurance, but i fail to see how a buildings issue is MY issue.
Anyways, I was nice about it but she could tell i was pissed. She was nervous and kept repeating herself to which I replied. No. its not enough. I was out 4 days, the hassle and all the electricity that was used by the 10 giant dehumidifiers and fans and swanp things hat ran for 73\2 hours straight using my electrical outlets. from a flood of your buildings pipes. no. not enough, please see what you can do for me. To which she replied she’s going to have to call corporate and it’ll be a few days before she can tell me.
They seem to be a decent complex, so I have some faith in them. but again! we shall see!!..cause I just signed a new lease last month :{ but i have faith. sorta.
nice work on the squat Brute.
Why is it the nice people always take it up the ass? Good karma will finds its way to you.
Because arseholes take advantage of nice people.
Brute, good workout and keep at it. You’re awesome.
Stopping by o say hi! Nigel is adorable, bet he’s a big snuggle on a cold morning
Love the hair, and my imagination of The Kracken is running wild.
thanks Cal and N–I have it so good in so many ways, this is crap with the apartment in the grand scheme is pithy. BUT its unjust! and I shall fight it!!
hey vikki! thank you!! all dog compliments are cherished!! This octopus is going to take forever. I will post some picts when its healed a bit more from the stuff i got done thursday. it’ll be uncompleted but its going to be one of those thousand year tattoos because its melting into other stuff i got on my side and belly. …and i don’t wanna wait that long to share pictures!
today i just felt like a single dl set of 255 x9. was going to go balls out but didn’t.
Got some new goals…mainly ones totally not useful for any meets. i have no meets in my mind in the near or distance future so I’m going to do whatever the hell I want. that wonderful rep challenge thread is making me salivate.
so it’ll be 20 rep sets. whatever I feel like for 20’s. BW sq ( bw on the bar) will be a hard one for me, but i’ll give it a shot long as i don’t get back form. I’ll try something once a week for 20. so not a huge deal.
oh!!! also I’m going to become a falconer! A raptor rescue needs voluntees to help manage the birds of prey. You get trained thought a period of time to handle the birds starting with Owls and moving up to hawks, falcons…golden eagles!!! So fantastic! I get to get handling gloves and everything. They go to schools for educational type things…and you can take them hunting. HOW COOL IS THAT?
You just officially became one of the coolest people I know. A fucking falconer?!
Get some!!
Good on ya for pushing for more compensation for that apartment business too. nod
That is fucking awesome! I’m really envious. Birds of prey are inherantly cool. I bet it will be a lot of fun as well as rewarding.
What a character!
I wish I had some drawing skill - an amazonian falconer with wicked spikey hair and cool tatoos followed by her massive pet dog.
When you put it that way it does sound like an amazing character sketch.
