a trick I started playing with myself (ha. haha.) was to “remember” how it felt the last time i did it, and go through it a couple times in my head before I do. even if I havent before, i feel like i con my muscles into doing some crazy shit.
but you’re out pulling me so maybe i should stop talking outta my ass.
hows my breath?

i can smell ur old man on ya. =+/
sadly i don’t think this was a mindfuck. my legs strength is just lacking like a mother.
and i noticed that lifting on thick carpet… hahahaha… once i have that much weight on the bar… the fucker is a good 1.5" defecit…and i’m stuck with a soft surface to press into.
if you saw that 330 video… it’s pretty evident that my legs gave all they had to get that weight up.
i’ve missed a few 1rm attempts in my past… and usually can get myself pscyhed up enough to make them… if i’m anywhere near capable.
for once i think i’m just not strong enough. both times i tried it i sat there and tugged on the bitch for a good 20 seconds. lol
but i also have no doubt i will be soon. =+D
i definitely need to grow some squatting balls first though.

I think my head may actually explode from all of those puns. Well done. Very. well. done.
This is where I humbly suggest a modest DL platform. Like, oh, say, some 2x4’s.

Roll the weight on… roll the weight off…
yeah. Splat. [/quote]
hawt.
i’m gonna build an oly platform this spring.
i have an outside squat rack… but it’s on some uneven concrete… and i’m not gonna wreck a barbell dropping normal plates on that shit.
eventually i’ll get my whole setup outside… in the meantime… i’ll keep carpet munchin.
thanks for the advise, mah lord.
so sorry i suck at stalking u… molly and debrad keep me busy enough… but do you do meets n stuff?? no u dirty bitch… i know u do meats. i’m talking powerlifting here.

I’ve been told I should. more than once. No one who has suggested it has ever seen me compete.
I don’t think it’s worth the body count. I’m rather competitive, and uberbitch when I do.

we shud start a club.
although i become martha stewartish at the thought of competition. i’d probably make everyone brownies. pot brownies, most likely. i’ve also been known to stab a bitch.
sadly, i discrimin8 against singlets. its the way i was raised. and the fact i pack all my “extras” round my waist.
like the way i’m just pretending we have smileys here by entering them?

So, what’s your plan for building leg strength so’s you can make 340 your bitch?[/quote]
man i wrote an incredibly long response to this earlier this morning and it’s still not showing up. it’s officially irritating the shit out of me.
anyways… long story short…no real “plan”…i’ll be running a 531 scheme for squats… so maybe that’ll help me progress. with the nice weather we should have coming up…getting in the squat rack should be perfect.
with low calories the next 4 weeks and added cardio… i doubt i’ll up the strength much at all. but a flat tummy is a bit more important to me atm.

I’m a redhead too…my paternal grandmother was Bonnie O’Brien so I come by it naturally. And green eyes, too! Though I must confess, these days, the “natural” color is more snowy, and L’Oreal provides the red…sigh. I also inherited the early greying gene; got my first grey hair at 15. Now, at 44, I am not sure how much grey there is underneath.

And I don’t wanna know.
Back when the recession was really bad, I played a game with some friends entitled “what is the VERY LAST non-essential (defined as other than stuff like food, shelter, heat, pets) expense you’d give up?” I thought it would be the gym. But then I realized it was actually my colorist.
so today starts the damn cut. i’m hoping to keep this short and sweet. ideally ending on halloween.
i won’t put this kind of blasphemous shit in here in the future… but just so ya’ll have an idea of what i’m up to… i can copy paste from my other journal. i make weekly “rules”. this is the first week. oh and i’ll also include how my nutrition/exercise looked today.
i’m hoping to make a couple strength gains at this calorie level… but we’ll see. as long as i keep the heavy lifting in and nail the nutrition… i don’t lose much strength during cuts.
here are my rules for the week:
-calories under 1700 on strength training days
-calories under 1500 on non strength training days
-1 refeed day with calories above 2000
-at least 130 grams protein
-veggies/fruit each day
-under 100 grams net carbs on non strength training days
-alcohol allowed on two days but must be tracked and fit rules
-really dialed in pre/peri/post workout nutrition
-supps = xtend, creatine, fish oil, multi, zinc
-3 scheduled workouts
-at least 3 extra conditioning workouts
