photo is soo fun!
deads are strong like crazy - hitching or no (how’s your back this morning?)
LULUA–thanks! ugh…but it wasn’t so hot! still, its better then only 1/2 an inch off the floor 
MEL!!!OH!!! I love it when I get a Mel spotting:D Thank you! You are awesome…your deadlift I dream about…sigh. OH! and word! those overheads are my favorites! Not very functional but I love em! I hope you’re doing well!!
p.s.–> compliments from you always mean a lot 
Thank Betty Beautiful! It was a fun 20 minutes of posing with my popper! I have so few picture of us together since he refuses to sit still.
Frenchie! ha!!..fingers and toes crossed my back’s ok so far…it did a lot on that lift :}
I am so hungry for a better dl…so hungry. I want my gola bag bad!!! But I’m making myself wait until I get a new pr. iiiirrrrrr!!
I feel this year was a pretty useless training year–well, not exactly useless but more like treading water. injuries then healing then getting all whacked out emotionally then blah blah blah. I think a nice new dl pr would be the best… and pullup on too.
i have a friend who is slightly pudgy and does desk work… and she joined a gym for the first time a few weeks ago. she says she wants to ‘look fit’. she has a PT and is getting her ass to the gym and making some progress, by the sounds of it. i’m not quite sure about her PT… but it seems to be motivating her at the moment so I’m careful not to undermine her PT but also trying to encourage her to train hard with the weights etc etc.
anyhoo… i showed her some youtube vids of people on powerful women and over35 forum… telling her a bit about how some people train for strength and some people train for aesthetics and some people train for both… and she was totally impressed by everyone but particularly taken by you!! something lit up in her eyes… i think she might aspire to be / look freaky strong like you, brute of course the numbers lifted don’t mean anything to her at this point… so i guess she was most taken by you as more of an aesthetic goal. and the obvious sheer determination too, of course.
^ HA! That’s awesome Lex! Slowly turning women world-wide into BAMFies. Yeah buddy!
Love the pic and the vid! Didn’t even know hitching was a thing. Lol! But whatevs. Get that sucker up!

18 @ 150 fsqs. soooo in awe!!!
oh deja–>those fuckers are more of an endurance thing then anything strong! man.
and they go fast…if I lay off em for a week or two my rep-able numbers go to shit!
yah but “endurance” at those strength numbers is just a dreamy state of being. ever thought about doing a strongman comp???
u would seriously tear it the fuck up!
well thank you!
PMPM invited me to mess about with her strongman buddies at a gym down the street…THAT shit is painful!
And awkward! And HARD!!! my god do I have respect for strong-women competitors. You have to be a serious hard body and have serious thick skin! One of the girls looks like a statue. Fucking built so beautifully in her chest and back.
I did a lil mini strongman comp a few years ago and pretty much had no idea what I was doing lifting but I had a massive crush on a guy who invited me to go. Everything was going swimmingly…Brute’s lil heart was smiling …until he had me meet his beautiful wonderfully kind wife and parents … and children :{ But they cheered for me too and I won ! I also was the only girl competitor!
…but I’m quietly hoping those Anderson squats can lead to some stone lifting in my future 
hahaha ouch that story isn’t exactly heart warming lol
but if anyone has the raw strength/endurance combo to be a strongwoman it’s u. the technique will come. a little determination and that’s in the bag. you already have what it takes to be an uber badass strongwoman.
thanks!! that is a wonderful compliment!! :D!!

Oh, the number of times this sort of thing has happened to me 
You are definitely strongman material. It’ll be cool to see you dominate at it.
