ALSO back squatted. Been a bit, I tried it with my belt and it felt so confusion more the sq vs the belt. 135, 185, 225,245 I still don’t like how those look or feel.
What are your training goals, Brute? Just to have fun, or compete in something?
^^I’m going to drag her ass onto the platform.
Soon.
You have so much more in there. You stopped pulling around your navel and just dropped a bit to catch it. Soooo much more
Consol !!! I just PARTY. that’s my thing
SNAP!!! I gotta make my own federation. The front squat, push press, ohs, deadlfit one. My back squat is a disaster but I dusted it off a lil bit yesterday. A tiny bit. :{
PIXIE!! You think I have more?!! OH MAN you saying that just makes me so exicted!!! EEEE!!! I want more!! I gotta get this cleaning shit down !!
I wanna clean!!I do so badly!
Today I felt like doing what I did
conventional dl’s 185, 235, 270, 290, 310
deficit deads 245x3, 270, 290, 305
Tried some in the rack snatch grip deads. I wanted to try to see if I could pull more with less range of motion but instead I just sputtered and got confused. So I started over with them regular from the ground.
snatch grip deadzos 185x5 x 6 sets
super setted with 10 of 3 wide grip pull ups, misc things ghr abs.
The place started to fill up …Its my tubro gym who has nothing but good lifters but still I flee like a roach when people start crowding in ANY gym. SOLOIST an all.

Go watch some Ilya Ilin videos on youtube, then watch your videos. You’re trying to pull the bar UP. You need to work on pulling yourself UNDER the bar. Not dropping under the bar. Keep pulling on that bar until you feel like you’re pushing your elbows to the ceiling. You want to know exactly where that bar is the entire time you’re lifting it until it’s resting on your shoulders. It’ll make it easier and SO much snappier.
Consul–WORD. 
Pixie OH YEAH I am going to get those cleans. I SHALL
Today evvvvvveeeerrrry thing felt slow and slow and slow. True I woke up 20 mins before lifting but still. I didn’t feel weak just slow and lethargic, yawning between sets shuffling my feet on my pants as I walked around. :{
lack luster but done.
Fronties 170, 190, 205, plot went 210.
195x2, 200x2, 205x2, 210 x 2 slow ass reps.
anderson fs 165 x 7
anderson zerchers 205x5, 215x5, 230x5
NOW I’m starting to wake up. Ah well , a triumphant pre-work lift is a triumphant thing regardless

I’m pretty sure your fronties will overtake mine soon - I’d better get some practise in this weekend 
Consul Fronties are the only heavy squat I trust my shit form on. I am really proud of mine and always want to add some more # to my max…cuz its different …and Sneaky fs’ers always suprise the brahs at the gym
OHHH PIXIE THANK YOU .
I finally did check out vids of Ilya Ilan and I’m mesmerized at how close he brings that bar to his body. It will take seven years for me to get my clumsy self to get it but I can see the differences. I wonder how he keeps his ding dong from getting mashed up :{
Today was a decent dl day. A surprise since I’ve been mashed to a pulp at work.
Deads 185, 240,270, 300, 320
deads with chains 225x2, 245x2, 265x2, 285x2
deficit deads 245x2, 270x3, 285x3, 300x3, 310, 270 x7
Monday night I went back for some ohs and clean’in school
push presses 111, 131, 141, 146 fail at 151
ohs 131 x 10, 141x7, 143 x6
cleans went…mmmok. I think I might have improved slightly on bringing the bar closer to me, but as soon as I added wt they turned into power cleans.
89#–109 looked ok. But come 129 and up to 13whatever it was wild.
Today was pretty good
Front squats 165, 190, 205, 220, 205x2, 210x2 x 4 sets, 200x3 x 3 sets, 195x3, 180x6, x8, x5, x5
I’m working on speed for those higher rep front squats. I am a slow mo on em. The 180’s I tired to get up quick. Not super fast but I feel like they were marginally faster.
here’s my heavier clean
here’s the lighter probably better form
Here’s my slightly faster fs
What made you decide you were having squat form issues in the first place? Was it from postin’ vids or whatever? They probably aren’t as bad as you think…
I know mine are probably sorta wrong, but I watch a lot of squat videos and it seems to me that no two squats are alike.
Hey Spock Well I knew my back squat was wonky from feedback from others seeing my form and vids and also watching other’s vids. My back squat tends to be a gm syle affair, I get lost on the decent trying to get depth and end up doing a two part lift. I can still squat decent wt but it looks like shit and feels like a two part lift.
I did it for the two meets I did and got fine scores but I knew it was bad and it embarrassed me to be honest. I’ll try and find a vid so you can see what I mean. :{
And it kept getting worse. Because I wanted to add wt …which just exasperated the issue. So I stopped before I hurt my ego more and my body maybe as well :{
here’s an example
and another
and here’s a recent one.
mahh.
Today was one of those days I felt if I pushed it I’d regret it later. I’m pretty pleased crossing fingers that I’m back on track from misc being stupid over doing it/getting injured in mind and heart bologna. Trying to be smarter and not lift like its my last day on earth every time I feel like it.
I did my pull up assignment ten sets if 4 wider grip ones. MAN. Wide isn’t easy. Done though.not pretty come sets 7 and 8…9 and ten :{
snatch grip deads 135x8, 155x8, using my belt 185x5x3 sets, 195x5, 200x4, 185x5, 135 x 7
deficit deads with my belt 145, 245,270,290
ghr’s, misc stuff, glute activation, gm’s. I walked around doing super sets of the above stuff in between each other.
Still waiting to see these awful squats. lol Whereas we ALL have room for improvement, your squats are fine. The bar came down over your ankles and your depth was okay. Plus, when you get some weight on the bar, they don’t all look pretty. Depending on your leverages, some people tend to lean forward more and some are more upright. Does your back feel weak coming out of the hole? Anyways, everyone knows that front squats are the best. <— my favorite.
Now, wide-grip pull ups DO suck. lol If you can do 10 sets of 4, you need some kind of super hero costume. I could never manage that with a wide grip.
Hey, Brute. Thought I’d chime in on your “2 part lift”. I have dealt with this issue for years and it’s always held back my squat progress. I get to a certain weight and either stall indefinitely or hurt myself trying to go higher.
Anyway, what I see in your squat is:
1)Your hips come up and back before your torso elevates.
2)To compensate for this you have to good-morning the weight the rest of the way.
I did this forever. The cues (well, really just one) that helped my get past this is to forget about moving the weight, and your hips, up. Think about throwing your hips forward. It’s hip hinging. Hips back, hips forward. Granted, you do drop down since you have to bend at the knees, but after you hit the bottom thrust you hips forward instead of trying to “stand up”.
The two best exercises I’ve found to help this is rack pulls and RDLs with a good hip pop or extension at the top. The rack pulls (a bit lighter weight for higher reps, like 6-8) will strengthen your lower back so you don’t “fold over” and the RDLs will help with the hinging and cueing your brain to throw your hips forward. I usually do one of these immediately AFTER squatting.
Keep in mind that throwing your hips forward will be difficult if your knees cave.
Nice work. Always good to see ladies throwing around weights like you do. Good luck!
