Harry is helping me with my mid-term paper!!
Brute, you’re doing awesome!!!
Awesome job on the pullups lady!!!
THANK YOU!!!
I’m most proud of those pull ups 
Today
Front squats 160x2, 180x2, 190x2, 200x2, 211, 216, 221 FAIL ARGH
then 206x2 x 4 sets, 186x6 x2 sets, 186 x5, 191x5
Did some dl’s 135x2, 185x2, 225x2, 255x2, 275 x2
Tried fs using the ssb bar. I am SUSPECT of this. They seem a bit easier and more like a regular squat. Cant seem to get much depth on my first tries. So I take this with a grain of salt. Bar I think is 60 #
ssb front sq 150x5, 170x10, 190x5, 200, 210, 220, 230,235 fail.
I need to sort out my dead lift plans. HMMMM.
You’re close dude, I can feel it!!! You’ll get your 225 FS waayyyy before I get my 225 BS.
Keep on keepin’ on, as I always say. (I’ve actually only said that like twice, heh.)
ARGHHH SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK I want it badly!!!But I do feel validated… obsessional confession: the girl who suprised me and blasted me on fs …was using an ssb. SO now I feel better since I’ve tried it and know its a totally differant exercise. I know I know…don’t compare but it feels a bit better knowing its 2 different things. SO she hasn’t beat me on fs YET. That I’m aware off :{
Today was just a party day. I spoil myself, I really do. I just get excited and have days where I do whatever. Lots of mish mash in today too. Not all consecutively but i mixed up exercises.

How close are your front squats to back squats now? I was making decent progress on them but that really slowed down lately and I think its because I let them get too close in weight, so my back squat weight might be a limiting factor in increasing fronts. Never used SSB so I don’t know if they compare to the other 2.
Hey Sufiandy!! I don’t know close they are right now–front to back. I haven’t back squatted in QUITE a while. :{
I am leaning towards a front squat era for a bit. I …don’t really want to back squat! I have thought of testing it, maybe I will this week but it’ll b! be shit i imagine!
Hello, BRUUUUUUUUUTEE!!!
That is all for now!

ALso, i didn’t realize you used chains and whatnot, HARDCORE!
ha! Spock I just started the chains yesterday! And if I could figure out the way to lace em up, I’d be banding it too. But I have no idea how to set up bands :{
Good lord you are strong <3 Excellent work as always Brute!
AH Thanks coyotegal!! I’m working on it. I’ve been watching and oohing and awign over soem seriously strong women I recently found. GAWD they are cool
Today I woke up after a fitful benadryl induced sleep. I basically slept a very long time but was fistfighting my bed the entire spance of my druggey slumber. So it was just pull ups today
2 sets of 7, 8 sets of 6
7 is a rep pr.
hey Brute, if you don’t have a dl platform with anchors here a couple different ideas for bands…
Thanks POWER
I am going at em next week. I don’t quite understand what some of the descriptions mean. I do get the micro, green etc stuff refers to the size of the bands themselves, but reverse bands I don’t understand :{

Reverse bands is just how the bands are set up. Rev band deads…hang the bands from the top of the rack, hook the ends over the bar, helps off the floor, depending on length, etc. it deloads more and more at the top of the pull, so it’s possible to lock out more “weight” than you are pulling off the floor.
Same goes for squats and benching too.
So depending how bands are setup. did you see Gracie’s Rev band DL video on the womenslifting site?
OH!!! That makes sense then! I did see her vid!
Thanks!! I see…I see!!
OK, So now I have options. For trouble off the floor, train with chains for more of a drag, for trouble lockig out–as in grinders and hitching, use bands to strengthen that out? I think I finally understand them.
So how’d it go? You get some band work in?
