Thanks Hallowed! I can’t wait!! :D!
NADIA!! Pull ups are going well! So far so good!
today
overheads 131x15,x9,x8
Bulgarians with a bb 115x5/leg a 3 sets, 95x10/leg
Anderson front sq 135x13,135x10
push presses ( been forever!) 95x15,95x10
messed around with different Bulgarian styles using db’s and stuff. My balance was off today.
I’m happy with the doing Anderson squats! I do feel a sense of accomplishment doing those! Also a deep inner glute burn. DEPP MAN. 
I like these! Nothing real exciting but I am enjoying them! I feel like Johnny Rocket shooting out of a hole!!
nomnomnomnom on the hammies
Those looked great. I have a deload week coming up and may try some light ones out for fun. I liked watching the guy in the back ground too. It was a fun contrast.
I confess I can’t do much but be mesmerized by your hamstrings. They’re just so…awesome.
Fan of the stripes too, of course.
THANKS N and KRISTOF! HA HA! Hammies say “word!”
O! you’ll love em! They are fun! And hopefully fruitful!
today dl’s
135,185,225,255, 275,300, 320, fuck off only to my shins 340! So I decided to follow Snap new program for my dl’s and squats. No idea what accessory stuff she has but I’m going to go with gm’s for dl day
so i did 65%, 70%, and 75% of 90% of my max of 335.
180x10,205x10,225x10
gm’s 95x8 x 3 sets.
Felt dejected and whiney…so I got a massage. Last years xmas gift from my mom! Holy shit this massage chick was intense! Shit was a deep tissue, pressure point, serious massage! All I told her was to please help my hip flexors and tight left hip -->tight when I move it forward and back like a normal gait.
Homegirl went off!! Took my breathe away a few ties but so far so good! I feel like I’ve been beaten! She murdered my quads!!
I didn’t tell her I lifted because I just wanted to see what she’d diagnose with my tightness/ect. She thought I did yoga (?) and remarked on my flexors as she held down hard in some spot in my abs. Thought I probably stand alot, but I’m in all around good safe except for falling arches :{ oh! and lots of dog scratches !
I’m officially aging …falling arches??

Lots of good lifting in here, mama! Keep it up!
MIM! …and it didn’t last long! I did whatever I felt like today. HA!
Thank you Masch!! :D!!!
today was a whatever I felt like day. I did my pull ups in a rush of enthusiasm last night 5 sets of 3, 5 sets of 2.
My massage made me feel good but I also got double vision a few hours later! Lots of knots letting loose misc chemical I guess? I can see ok today though.
overhead sq 131x15
sumo dls 185x20, 225x 15…and i totally scuttled around like a crab doing em. i had to regrip and restart then I ended spreading my legs too far and landing the wt on my toes. I felt it before I slammed down but it was a party! wilding out. kinda wish i had more to report–i had on some awesome new socks!
strechin and stuff.
cool socks! need pics 
Here we go N! clip mid deadlift scramble!
Its been a set of annoying days for me. I ended up calling in sick to work yesterday just because I was freaking out. One of those days when you are afraid to get out of bed just because. :{ I think I’ve been taking to heart some personal stuff. Mainly someone I was once really close too who’s now in prison. It has nothing to do with me, and I have no real interest in finding out the specifics. I have always felt like he’s a lost soul.
just seems like such a waste. HUURRmunph. Now I have no choice but going to work, and I need to just get it over with and I’ll be ok. Can’t hide! And its been pretty useless being strange and sleeping for 14 hours and 16 hours the last two days :{
I’m sorry to hear about the yuckiness 
But you are BRUTE, powerful and stronger than anything that tries to get you down. Thinking of you!

EDIT: Um… well yes. Pull yourself together woman! Set some time in the future to turn your thoughts to these personal concernsif you think they warrant it. Force yourself to get moving and at least go through the motions of life (ie get out of bed!l. You won’t regret it. No broody bruty!
some people you just can’t save. keep your energy for those you will use it for the best.
Thanks Lula! My back is sore…from sleeping so much. Geez. I am a looser!!
My Hallowed! thanks for the stars! OHHHHH!!! I’m so excited to read all about them! All about MEEEEEEE!!!
OH BUT those hack sqauts…man…those are hard. I don’t do them anymore! They hurt mah back…but fuck not before they made my quads explode. serious!
Shit. talk about a wake up call. I was talking to a new girl at my work who just started yesterday. Asking what her weekend plans were…yeah so its her MOM"S FUNERAL today. And she was at work, at a new job… Fuck me, gotta give respect to that. Here I am moaning over shit in my past and she’s probably devasted but going forward in her life. Moving the hell on! Good lesson from someone I just met!
And you’re right N. Very right. I give this person a lot of credit…but he also was destructive to me. I think I’ve just always worried about him a easily took a blind eye to how shit really was. His stupid choices led him where he’s at. Not any of my good advice or thoughts.
BLEHH!!
But i went to work yesterday and it felt good. Crazy busy and rushed of my feet, but it twas good. I’m so lucky! Very very lucky! I do not have to be going to my mom’s funeral this weekend.
Off to read about Uranus Conjunct :)!
Went to the gym today and was going to front sq …but something’s off and my back seid FUCK NO.
My hips are sore…my back is stiff and funky…I don’t know why my hips have been so tight the last four months or so…training is no focused. Hmm. So you know what? I need to drop some wt. So I’m going to.
I want to do the usapl meet in march, regardless of my numbers because I just have a lot of fun AFTER it over! And I have a lot more determination if i have a deadline. I know my dl will go down, my bench is never anything to be excited over, and I’m going to relearn to squat yet again so it’ll be down as well. I’ll be at rmlc for a month to tinker too.
I want to be in the 165 class so I need to drop. Today’s wt is 171. I’m going to try and drop 10 pounds by March. It theoretically doesn’t take long for me to budge wt once I get going…but the getting going is hard.
I feel shitty. I feel blobo! I really do! The unpolitically correct decision has been made and for now, I’ll trade strength for some wt loss. I’ll see what I can do…also might be able to do more pullups :}!
Yay for doing the meet! I’ll see you there.
yes!!! you shall!!!
