I really apprciate that My Owlie…its a ego hit dealing with all my form issues:{ I will cling to your kindness!!
I’ll log as long as I can 
I works well for me and I like the imput from everyone so much:) BUT if you are on fb let me know! Or just friend me! I’m on as Brute Fury on fb, so I don’t ever loose you!!
yes you can do pushups lol.
some people get all picky about holding your back real flat (like you could hold a stick along it) just like how they get all picky about planks… but your pushups are pretty good. maybe squeeze your ass a bit… but pretty good, yeah. bet you could belt out a hell of a lot more than me (which would be expected since you kick my ass on bench and pullups)

I noticed that about push ups too. Like a lot of things there are form nazis out there. We do a lot of them and I tend to have very wide hand placement very similar to how I bench. I like them for ab work too. I find when we do a shit ton of sets, I feel it the next day.
btw, Brute, your deads look great. I do the same thing for deficits with quarters. How did you find enough plates to do 270?
Thanks Alexus!! ha ha! I can do them! I also had this vision that I had to place my hands very close to my body but I was wrong! yei!!
O! Thanks! I really apprciate the dl compliment…cuz god knows I’m feeling like I’ve been held back a grade in school:[ Lucky for me the powerlifting gym I do my dl’s at has a lot of 25’s laying around. AND a loader I use to load em all.
As for form fascism, right now I feel every lift I do now is looked at thru red commie colored glasses by myself for sure.
<still dancing in Brute’s log>
Bringing da funk
Here’s fronties from yesterday. Today I called off my bench attempt due to me not feeling like doing anything at all. Been napping and reading Cthulhu stories. Then watching Big Foot Hunters. Nigel also has decided to have the shits… so I’ll be cleaning my carpet all day too
I’m just so happy that you post as much video as you do- it’s a joy to watch you work.
The direction your lifts are going, form-wise, I like. Also, you push those fronties hard! Good stuff. nod
Hiya Brute
Squats looked good on depth, looks like you are looking straight forward. Maybe try looking up higher.
That helped me a lot on my form.
Review the EliteFTS Squat videos, they were a huge help to me.
Pushups looked good. I find the back form is better when you look at the ground about 18 inches in front of you instead of straight down.
Nice tat.

Just popping in to say Hi and creep some vids. Owlie’s given you some great tips. And I think it was a stretchy band that O used to put across the rack to help her get used to depth. I remember thinking it was a clever idea.
KRISTOF!!! Good to see you!! Thanks!
HEY 2B! WORD> those are right on the money. Dweebin it watching various vids has me concluded that head position is important in freaking everything :{ I need to remember these things. I tend to either get far to excited and do whatver the hell I do or I loose my will to live trying to remember all the steps and flunk out.
I’m being dramatic only slightly Such a baby.
PATCH! Yes! That is what she said about the depth. I can totally do that at my turbo lifting gym.
Its is still great to log but not the same. I miss you my wonders if you can read this
Yeah it’s kinda weird that everyone is all over the place now. I get kinda lost by the way side hangin’ out with the big boy logs, Lol.
Oh well, just know that I am in your log at least twice a day!
Those are nice looking front squats. Wasn’t it just a couple of weeks ago that 190 for 2 was hard? It’s amazing how fast you get stronger. Once again, I was thinking of you when I did mine today.
well… you can do push-ups with your hands in narrower and also a little lower, say, in line with your boobies. that will hit your triceps more and your pecs a bit less. i’m actually stronger like that because that is how i’m used to doing them… you certainly don’t have to do them like that, though.
bad ass front squats…Love the Quad Ink.
AH SPOCK!! I check you log too I would be overwhelmed a bit in the boy’s section…lots of advice yes but its a different frame of mind. I like the comradeship here and over int eh old folks home. I’ll head there when I’m aged enough :)!!
I’m far too emotional and spastic to go in the regular section. People get tired of hearing how I missed a lift because I was lamenting about some long ago battle. HA! that’s why i think a coach could help but they’d have to put up with a few weeks of me being a deranged wierdo before I get the hint and take advice.
Alexus–yes…I think I should experiment with my pushups. Like O mentioned I can definitely use them for core work. I even noticed on a vid of me doing them how much I don’t tighten up. I need to do more core and more arm so hopefully I can figure a good sequence to to them.
I thinking I can do a pull up only day with push ups as well. I have to work up some major balls for this weeks assignment and I want to do it on a day I don’t do dl’s. Its strange though, I get all hyped up on dead day and afterwards usually feel really good but again grip is tired. I’ll figure it out.
HEY HARA!! Thanks for stopping by! OH gawd…yeah that tattoo looks ok from a distance but it was the training ground for a few of my friends while they were learning to do tattoos. Its like a fossil with all the layers of various talent from good to awful.
today
fronties 135x5, 160x5, 185x3 x 2 sets, 195x 3 x 2 sets, 205, 200 x2, 195x2, 200
benching was stupid. I’m tired of benching so much. I really have no interest in it…urgh.
105x5, 115x4, 135x3, 115x4, 130 not even.
fronties 135x5, 155x4, 175x3x2, 185x2 x3 sets
in conclusion: need more core. And as always benching is stupid.
i need more core, too. damned thing. not sure why it doesn’t work properly

One: you’re a cute weirdo. Makes it more acceptable.
Two: DAMMIT! Benching is my dark mistress. So much fun, but nothing but problems!!!

No kidding. This is only one reason that I heart Brute.
I would say you are front squatting over 200 lbs=you have a freakin strong core! Also I sent you a friend request so look for me! It is me and my blond friend
