Brute: You are a stunning beauty. ANd you are kicking ass with the pullups. I’m so glad you’re writing to Harry. You’re doing amazing with those pullups.
THANKS! OH…its a long hill but its been good!
OHEMGHEEEE! Loving those classic BRUTIFUL pics. I may have one or two of me with my teenage fringe cut… we’ll see LOL.
Deadlift RIDIC! Ohemgheez. You are how I know I must get velly velly much strongah!
Girl PM me your date time place of birth and email I will peep yo stars! Would LOVE TO!
oooh!!! i will rigth now!! thanks hallowed!!
I need to check in on Elite then and see your posts…not that I’m in shoulder condition to do pull ups yet, w
WTF? Overhead bulgarians ??? oh Brute you are AWESOME!
Love the vintage pics too.
thanks power!!
today was lame because my mp3 died. so walked into gym, racked stuff then kapoot. I wasn’t feeling that motivated anyways…taken as sign from god to go home!
the gym’s music–“ricky don’t loose that number” is NOT enough to keep me going for front squats.
315, damn.
Yeah gym music blows.
I too love being little spoon!
laugh What an odd song to be playing in a gym, for any reason.
…though now it’s stuck in my head, thanks. 
yeah that is a weird song to be listening to in the gym!
my i pod mini has the white screen of death 
but it still plays music when i shake (shuffle) it and i can turn it on and off.
so i’m seeing it as a little push for me to manually select the songs i actually like (rather than having some good songs and some shit songs in an album) and turn it into a kick ass gym pod.
music makes all the difference in the world to me. hardest thing i find about training with others is that we have to listen to the bloody radio. i notice (even if others do not) that when the music is pumping people get PR’s and when the music is sleepy nobody has any pop…
Ha, I have to be the big spoon. I can’t stand the feeling of someone’s breath on the back of my neck, even if I’m crazy about them.
As for sugar free stuff, sorbitol is evil. There’s nothing that brings tears to the eyes like a sorbitol fart.
And music? Yeah, my gym plays predominantly R&B which is way too slow to train to. I need me some Rammstein or Disturbed or, failing that, at least some lively dance music, but no. Lots of fucking Rhianna and Jesus H Christ, Bruno Mars. Fuck.
thanks patch!..god…yeah. My gym only has decent music at 2 am. but its not really decent. its more like bad rap really loud. :{
Kristof–isn’t it though? I don’t understand their choices. But then again in the am when I go its got LOADS of old people getting pt. so I guess its fine for that.
Alexus! Yep. I concur. however I don’t like it playing on the stereo. I much prefer headphones. even if i had it to myself, I’d still use headphones vs a stereo. also there’s no way i’m going to get hyped up with some lame hip hop rap.
OH CAL! I will never forget the jammin electronica played at the tiny Kinetika (spelling might be off) gym I used. It was pretty jazzy!! not exactly the best but better then mid 90’s soft rock :{
today
front squats
145x18,x10x8,155x5
squats 175,225,255,275,285 total 10 second fight up! so i stopped at that.
285!? yowzer. 10-second fight up is a testament to your will…I would have dropped that shit! ;D
thanks lula!..argh! it was more of a calamity then anything pretty, that squat. ha!
today was a dl day
135,185,225,255,275,295,310 stopped at that :{ not exactly feeling it:(
225x12,245x9,265x5,285
SWITCH IT TO SUMO! 225x10,245,265 <–most i’ve ever tried sumo style. it was odd even though it was a tinge shorter distance…but still not so hot. its a nice sorta rehab after conventional dls if that makes sense.
190x23,225x5
why yes! I do work out like a spaz! then some ghetto reverse hypers, Bre’s sky humps, dragon style floor aboz
You do have an interesting rep scheme. What in the world is it?? haha I’m not going to bash it since you can out deadlift any woman here lol I really am just curious how you program your lifts.
hey Dani! THANKS! 
I appreciate the compliment…but I can’t out dl all of them! Don’t forget I’m a giant compared to most of the gals here. I have a good 20-40 pounds on most of you ladies! At least!! Its all about wt to wt ratio wilks stuff unfortunately…so my numbers might seem bigger but I’m also bigger. Beefy Brute!
But thanks all the same!! I love compliments!!!
I don’t have a rep scheme… I just go and do whatever. Right now I’m just trying to get used to heavy lifts since its been a while since I have done a max worth anything. I was really into big rep sets for a bit, now I’m embarrassed and way low on my maxes.
I know I can do it, but my head feels the wt as something I can’t do higher reps with and I stall out! Oh well. I have nothing but time, and luckily a healthy drive for it 
That’s a crap load of volume on the front squats.
and a 10 second fight is Rocky Epic.
you should have finished it screaming “Adrianne!!!”

I love this about you! I think it really says something about your inner drive and your kinesthetic sense, as well as your imagination, that you just can go in to the gym and just kill it like that. Its so freaking awesome!
And yes! I’m with Mainy - a 10 second grinder is balls the walls hardcore! God I would’ve paid good money to watch that.
Keep killing it, mama!
My gym is a Kinetika - unfortunately they only play the electro dance stuff in classes. In the main gym we get mainstream pop and the free weights room has radio, complete with adverts and DJs who love the sound of their own voices (interspersed with R&B or if I’m really lucky, some Lady Gaga). Sucktastic.
OH N and Maschy! it was a disgrace!..but I got it up!
And I would probably drive a coach or trainer crazy…I’m such a free spirit in the gym. I probably also would benefit from some logical planning …but…I don’t wanna!! I admit I’m a free baller.
Cal–oh…boy…that’s a sad day when you feel lucky with lady gaga ! but I get your pain!
