im guessing 3%
Yeah, she’s really lovely in the second pic.
yah she only looked like that for a millisecond luckily. haha
raised the calories… had a couple brews…and got lots of rest the past couple days.
so much for not completing this phase of 5-3-1. i guess i just am not feeling creative.
wanted to see if i could nail a new bench rep pr with the extra cals. went pretty well… although i BARELY was able to get the last rep up.
workout:
bench press: 55 x 8; 75 x 6; 105 x 5; 120 x 3; 135 x 3 (PR)
bench press: 105 x 8; 100 x 9; 95 x 10; 90 x 11
pendlay bb row: 135 x 8, 8
time for some food!
deja your woman is a cutie. But nearly double bw deadlifts with a month of training? That’s just not fair.
Nice weighted chins by you.

That’s impossible. You mean 3.1%.
man that bench workout has me so damn sore.
slept like shit the last two nights thanks to aunt flo and some major crampage. bitch.
workout:
dl: 135 x 8; 205 x 5; 250 x 5; 280 x 3; 315 x 2
defecit deads (4" riser): 175 x 6, 6, 6
315 is amazing. Just because you pull like this alot, doesn’t make it any less amazing.
P.S. Bench press! Wow!
thanks kimba!!! =+)
i tweaked/sprained the shit out of my wrist on friday night bucking hay.
i was hoping it’d feel better by today, but no such luck. got in my main reps and a dash of accessory work. tried doing the chinups but couldn’t even do one without serious pain. oh well.
workout:
military press: 35 x 10; 55 x 8; 80 x 5; 90 x 3; 100 x 1
seated db press: 20’s x 12, 12, 12
now it’s deload week.
vegas in the morning!!! i’m freakin stoked!!! have some errands to run and some luxury soap bars to make. gonna superset those with a few beers and lotsa nfl. this evening it’s farm chores and packing and we’re out of here early tomorrow. yay!
I hope you’re not making soap out of cellulite.
Have a great time in Vegas and hopefully your wrist won’t be doing anything more stressful than shooting craps.
you make your own soap?
no need to tell you to have an insanely good time out there…enjoy all the eats & drinks and win some money!
dont do anything i wouldnt do.
its a very short list, actually.
thanks t n claire. it will be a fucking blast. no doubt. we’re meeting numerous friends and even a couple family members. canadian ones at that. lol
yah i make soap. cuz i’m gangsta like that. =+)
no cellulite…but i might have to give that a try! it’s so weird how soap is made out of oils which seem so damn dirty and unclean.
I feel a fightclub reference coming on…
vegas was redonkulously fun. =+)
my damn wrist is still bothering me so once again no chinups.
workout:
mp: 55 x 8; 65 x 5; 75 x 5; 85 x 6
mp: 50 x 10, 10, 10, 10
i have absolutely no appetite. i think i could count the grams of protein i’ve had today on one hand. not good. not good at all.
good thing tomorrow’s a new day. hopefully i wake up starving.
Hey Deja! I feel like such a squat nazi but I have looked at your newest video and read everyones advice they have given. I know how hard it is to really focus on popping your hips back first and from what I have seen in my clients (and you are also doing) is they are so focused on KEEPING their hips back, they dont stand straight up at all. (i think someone else mentioned you standing straight up)Try it with just the bar, but starting with your body fully upright, stick your ass our first, then bend your knees. Make it a conscious 2 step movement. It will feel awkward but you will get used to it. Something else that will really help you drive out of the hole is setting your rack bars just above parallel and do “dead stop squats”. Bring the bar down, take all tension off of your shoulders and drive with all you have to stand up without using any bounce back from a regular squat. Also, is there anyway you could take video from the front? I would like to see how wide your stance is and what is happening from that angle. (in case anyone is wondering who I am and what the fuck do I know? i will post my own thread in a second.)

thanks girl. will do.
yah i’ve done my fair share of bottom start and dead start squats but without video or a person to give me feedback i guess it was a waste of time.
if this fucking rain will ever stop. ugh.
but yeah someday when someone’s around when i’m squatting i can get them to hold the camera.
bout time! =+)

Or, you could buy a gorillapod tripod like mine and just attach the camera to something!

Ima call bullshit on you right here. I took the vid to my gym and layed it on a bench and it worked fine. Don’t you want us to ogle I mean critique?? xo
