Of course not! You’re not competing in PL so don’t compare yourself to powerlifters. We all have to work around our limitations so do what you can. [/quote]
Quoted for the damn truth!

Squat as deep as you can without effing yourself up. That’s what’s important. Nobody’s going to give a shit unless you post a vid and say “I totally nailed this DEEP ass 1234323# squat, see!” And even then, the trolls tend to stay out of people’s logs.

You’re kicking ass Mims, keep kicking!

eh?? I didn’t quite catch that first sentence
rubs eyes, guzzles more coffee Nope, still don’t get it, lol.

I’m doing ok. Had to resort to sleepy time pills the last couple nights. Still waking in the early morning hours and coming down to the couch because I can’t fall back to sleep in bed. Doesn’t help my husband doesn’t sleep soundly and I’m a light sleeper.

Off to the gym!!

but you should!! :wink:

hope that workout went well

hehe, thanks.

It kinda did. Tried walking lunges and split squats…both were a no go. But at least I have goblet squats…And I can squat with bw juuuust above parallel. I’ll have to try the single leg stuff with some sleeves next time.

Or it could have been that I did maximal volume my knees will allow beforehand.

DL- 4x3x135,155,155,175(was gonna do 5x3 but knee started to hurt)
Goblet squats to bench in between–4x10

RDLs
KB squats

Glute bridges(shoulders on bench)
3x10

Hypers- 3x10

GG/BG- 3x10

With lats like yours its completely appropriate and acceptable for you to flare them all day everywhere you go…

Meh! Maybe you really should see Rock about that endo…lol!

Btw, did I ever say thanks for posting pics of your sexy muscles? THANKS! Lat spread is indeed ridic. So jelly!

If you can goblet squat…can you do goblet swings? (i’m just going to keep throwing exercises at you, hope you don’t mind!)

You will get there I promise. Just don’t give up. Its like this in the beginning and I know you know so many of us go through it.

FYI when you are properly optimized you WILL ‘need’ just as many calories as any regular person.
I’m eating at least 2k a day and maintaining.

Thank you.

OMG! Speaking of calories…

I just made a pumpkin cheesecake and I added up all cals from ingredients: 5,172!!! falls down, has a heart attack
319 grams of Fat
461 Carbs
66 protein

If I can get 20 small pieces out of it then each piece is 258cals/16F/23C/3.35P

:smiley:

Ct- that would be funny!! your quite the compliment giver lately. I can get used to it!

Maschy- I will try swings…I think I have in the past and something about the vigourous up and down motion is no good. (I know, my mind is in the gutter too, itsokay) I can try again!!! Keep comin at me BRO! :smiley:

Hallowed- yay, it’s so good to see you posting!!
My next appointment is up at the military hospital on Nov 16th. Its only for a second opinion. And hopefully he’s not a douche. I don’t know if you read about my last experience…grrrrrrrr

You think Imma give up after getting this far? pssh.

Betty, I’ve taken my squat up somewhat too, because of form issues. We aren’t powerlifting at this moment, so as long as there is a good reason for why we are squatting like we are, its all good.

I highly support your never-give-up attitude!

Congrats on that weight loss swoosh! Awesome news. And great training. Cheese cake! yum!

Any idea as to what I’m going to be for Halloween?

we’re all going to be a family of zombies!

:smiley:

I was just playin around before I took a shower. Can’t to get fully made up!!

Actually my daughter is going to be a ‘zombie kitty.’ Her idea, lol.

ok, I lie. I look like this everyday. Haha…I did in HS anyway.
