215-7 super rep PR of some variety. No belt I beat BB for reps by one but his looked a lot better. My last rep was uuuugly.

My short term goal is 225 for 5. I think I’m there. For some reason, that’s a big one for me. I’ve tripled it a number of times but getting 5 means it’s like a meh weight.

Mac? Did a lot come over? Western is the local brand name.

I didn’t realize what went down in London until I watched the news tonight. That was crazy. Our area was just drunk kids but no riots or violence. I’m a Western graduate from way back and I sure never saw anything like that.

nice pressing and good work on the double bw raw squat

2x BW raw squat is bad-ass. Nice work.

Gaddamn. 2x bw!

Outfucking standing work Julie.

Just wow.

Thanks for all the nice compliments on my PR. I have to say that I have been inordinately pleased with myself over it. Maybe I don’t get out much but I don’t care.

congrats on that squat!

Double body weight squat is a HUGE milestone! Congrats!

Id say this different approach to training, and skipping the meet to
gain strength has been a HUGE success!

Congrats

Wow, fantastic job on the double bw squats! Huge round of congrats for that.

Damn you’re strong. “Inordinate” wouldn’t even begin to describe how pleased I’d be with myself if I could ever achieve a 2xBW squat. Especially given your limb lengths (and mine).

Speaking of which, if you had shorter legs you’d look a lot like Coan with your new style of deadlifting. You look strong in that video, with more in your future. Really impressive lifting.

Come to think of it, I am a good hike short of my double body weight squat. Good work!

(now to put pins in my voodoo doll of you so I stop feeling humbled)
