So . . . any chance you’re going to show up and pull with me on December 3? T’would be fun.[/quote]

I’m considering showing up to see what Ron’s up to, I’m not planning to lift, and I don’t want to ref either. LOL. Lazy Lindsay.[/quote]

PMPM: Ron pulled an incredible DL at the meet in October. Making up for missing it at Worlds, I believe. I’m only going to the meet to pull. Will probably do a BW squat and bench the bar or something equally impressive.

Today was overheads and stuff
overhead sq
89x5,111x5,126x20, fail to get 133 up, 131x 14 or 15?,131x10,x10
Bulgarians with bb 95x8/leg,115x8/leg,135x5/leg
overhead bb Bulgarians NEW! bar, 65x2/leg, hard to say how many I got on the first set of 89 but the second I got 5/leg

Here’s to another Baby’s First!!!

after this i tried to get Nigel to have a friend in my parents newfie Lum…sigh. Its going to be a long haul. He went viper mode. I just want him to have a friend! But he’s…an asshole!!

HOLY SH*T!!! I read this:

“overhead bb Bulgarians NEW! bar, 65x2/leg, hard to say how many I got on the first set of 89 but the second I got 5/leg”

and I was like, “whaaaat?”

And then I saw the vid!! HAHAH! You are a maniac! I bow down. Seriously, so freaking awesome!! HAHAH!

I’m not even going to mention the OHsquats…seriously, this could be one of my most favorite Brute sessions to date!

Ok, cool! So I see this Elite guy doles out info specific to the trainee…I’m totally going to go check him out! And you so got 7x2. Woot woot! The pullup will be your bitch, and your shoulders are going to get good and strong!

ps. 336 DL. GAH! Insanity.

a powerlifting Circus Brute.

Incredible!!!

oh Snap!..urhh…I am so out of shape :frowning: I’ve put on about 14 pounds…excuses excuses!![/quote]

Judging from the vid I keep repeating, I have to throw the bullshit flat at this. Brute is like…makes you wanna slap your mama for not preparing you for something that glorious.

You can keep the lift, though. I’d embarrass myself.

!!! WELL YOU JUST MADE ME FEEL FANTASTIC!

Now I must do more to make you proud! :wink: thank you!![/quote]

Brute is the deadlift queen and the reason I knew I could reach 300lbs if I put my mind to it.

Well, I don’t come in here nearly enough, as Brute is a huge source of motivation/inspiration for me. If I’m slackin, it never fails that after watching one of her vids, I get my ass off my shoulders and go do the damn thing. Beauty and beastliness in one awe-inspiring package. Plus, her dog is awesome. :stuck_out_tongue:

BBBBRRRRUUUUUUUUTTTEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

fREAKIN’ InSaNiTY…but I’m inspired :slight_smile:

Maschy! Ah ha!! Thanks!! about elitefts–>you should talk to them! I’m pretty stocked to get an assignment every week! its like a treasure hunt!! makes it much more entertaining and cool to try and make your online coach proud! You can get those pull ups too!!

Thanks MiM! its kinda silly, but i couldn’t resist it! :smiley: ha! ha! I had a lot of fun, I always do when i go over my head:) I hope to get better form because those were kinda wacky!

OH Frenchie–> You have well over 305 too, well over. GRR! I wish i could get back in my groove. My dl hero is Deja. That chick is 40 pounds less them me and pulls 320 plus like its nothing! I’ll never not be in awe of her!

Snap! thanks :slight_smile: !!!

RODIMUS!!! Thank you!! My dog is awesome!! big butt is getting better every day:)

OH MY GOD!! SKYE!!! ** hurray!! I have missed you so!!!

I don’t even… I’m like all…

Those bulgies just…
I don’t… I can’t…

SWOON

oh my Hallowed! :)!!!

today was fronties
145x17 (getting there!), x10,x8. Once i get my old rep pr with 155 back, i’m going to test a max just cuz.
regular sq 145,225,255,270,280,290 it got ugly but it was there just a smidgen below parallel :slight_smile:
also tried the anderson sq and i do like them! only did a few with 95 but it was lovely!

SEE! this is what happens to me! I wake up look at my sausage gut and get kinda down then full of desire to try and drop wt drastically with cardio and cutting. then i go and do this at the gym get all excited and forgive myself for my gut. even though this time last year i had no gut and was stronger! its good and bad! ha!

I just don’t have the drive i had when i was trying to do the raw nationals thing last summer. something about that meet made it so easy to just do it and drop wt…now…i’m kinda jolly and happy…and…bleh! oh well. I’m obviously not THAT bothered by it. yet i blab on my log…

As long as YOUR happy then it’s all good!

Just caught up on the last few pages, and now I have a happy.

Frenchie is spot on in her remark that just seeing you with your kick ass numbers gives me hope that eventually it’ll be possible.

Congrats on the job! Even if you never plan on leaving going out and seeing what’s out there and how you compare is a great thing to do.

I’m going to have to check out this Elite guy, everyone seems to be on the pull-up band wagon. I don’t want to get left behind.


Ok FIRST OF ALL your body is fucking beautiful.

SECOND “sausage roll” LMFAO. OF COURSE… i hella feel ya! The fact is though what are we talking about here? Ten pounds over fighting weight? I’m like ten maybe fifteen scale pounds over where I plan to be after Spring diet. And yes its driving me nuts too! Bah we are RIDIC. HELLA RIDIC.

Just keep it realistic in your mind. Ten pounds? You can cut that fast in four to six weeks whenever the fuck you want to. Right MEOW you are working on getting back to your PRs. Right now I’m getting hella stronger. The little bit of extra weight will come off EEEZY when the time is right. Know that… and keep focusing on the strength goals

Brb gonna see if my skinniest jeans still fit :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey My Beauty Mim! …you know…its such a girl thing to get wigged about. In the grand scheme…i have to say I’m not all that upset about it…and i am happy!

Hey Patch!! You should definitely check out Harry! ha ha!! we can all be in on it!! :smiley: and thank you! I was really surprised at the result just getting out and having a interview ended up becoming:) very pleased!

Hallowed! You are of course right on it. that’s the killer too…its only like 10 pounds. And you’re right I could drop it in a relatively short time…but shit! I’m having issues because I start comparing myself now to the past which is pointless. At the end of the day I am proud that I can walk, function, and still want to improve myself !

today was dl day. Mini-ish
135,185,225,255,275,295,310. decided to stop here. Come on dl!! we can do it!! I’ll get you back I swear!!
265x5. kinda fried :{ then 245.
swap to sumo 185x20,205x15

bah for 20lbs. it’s winter. I’d rather add 10lbs to my bench.

awesome deads ma chere :slight_smile:

GOD. if i could add 10 pounds to my bench I’d be amazed!! AMAZED!!! But thanks N…BLEH!!!

today was lil bench day

115x6,x5,x5,120x3,x3,x3
db rows 50’s x12,x10,x8
old dude in the gym stopped me --which I HATE–while i was walking between a set of something and asked me if I ever wished I were a man.

NO. I replied to which he jumped and bent his knees a bit a bit and swung his fists in excitement. “But you work like you want to be!! you do!” He seemed to think it was a compliment so i took and replied with a grateful thank you…I guess? HA HA! :smiley:

if it were from a younger middle aged guy I would definitely not even take it that well. but I like old guys who get excited about those free wheeling women who want to be men…:slight_smile: and are easily impressed.

oh yeah! i forgot I was also wearing a shirt with a picture of a bearded man. hmm

Lol, old men really are able to get away with so much more aren’t they? I’d take it as a compliment. RAWR!

Holy crap that old dude is awesome. I would’ve said “YES! I want to be able to pee anywhere I want!!!” and walked on.
