Nice DL AND nice MP! Great progress! Good stuff Tal!
So I MUST hi-jack for a sec and give Kimba a foofy vodka drink recipe called a Pixie Stick (WARNING… it IS sweet… sorry Tal! =-/
1.5 oz vodka
.75-1 oz Grape Pucker
.75-1 oz Blue Island Pucker
big splash sour mix
optional: splash triple sec
Shake with ice and strain… then add splash 7up =D
optional: rim martini glass with sugar OR Pixie Stick dust… YUM! Great special drink for a summer get-together…
I’m guessing pixie dust is what we call space dust in the UK, or popping candy? Which, incidentally, can add an interesting dimension to oral activities.
figures you stop by for a drink Claire. which is fine, i’ll take what i can get from ya.
your post and the other one really hit me while in the rack tonight. yes, many of us have no real training, no coach, no spotter and ‘only’ the wealth of knowledge we have gotten here (and whatever other internet sources we’ve come across) i never had Christina Aguilera’s “fighter” on my playlist til the other day. (i listen to liquid metal to and from work on XM so i rarely hear the pop stuff.) these lyrics and those posts helped me kill it tonight. it was one of those kick ass days that i put almost every ounce of me into it…
despite being giving a referral today to an orthopedic surgeon for that wrist cyst/bump? issue. was so painful yesterday could barely type with left hand.
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

fuck cardio with that circuit. i was sweating bullets after the squats +deads and kept it going. i’m super stoked and now it’s time to grub down on mah beef and vegetable soup i made. MMMMMMMMMM
although i’m curiously full from blueberries, juice and BCAAs i downed. that will pass
final comment, ass still sore from the lunges day before yesterday but didn’t seem to affect squats tonight.
squeezing the bar hard as hell does help while squatting.
i’m starting to ‘hear’ the advice i’ve been reading over and over in my head while lifting…this is good.
yes, there are lots of good logs and it’s hard to keep up and comment with everyone
can you ‘legally’ do Romanian deads from the rack (as opposed to the floor) or is the ROM too short to be a true RDL?
Edit: I looked at what you said about squeezing the bar at 430 am lol I thought you asked what does squeezing the bar hard have to do with squatting ?
Note to self: wake up before reading and writing …
Oh well I will leave up what I wrote maybe someone else will look at it go ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
and get a PR
question:What happens to your body when you make a really tight hard fist ? (like you where going to punch someone):
answere: you entire body get tight.
So instead of me q’ing squeeze your back and abs is it much simpler to say squeeze the bar if you try it you will see it will help with everything bench. Dumbell presses ect because it helps activate your trunk.
Getting tight and being able to
hold good form is the key to lifting heavy shit.
That and correcting imbalances is the key to lifting heavy shit for a long time with out getting hurt as well.
Off to work I go :). Where I will say sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze the bar or pull your heels down though the floor, slow down use your glutes not your back about a gizzzzzzzillion times today :). (I love me job)
pop rocks and oral activities and that beau of yours doesn’t make his way to you more often, Cal? ;/
i was trying to find that video that had RDL, DL StiffDL side by side in Arachne’s log (i think MIM posted it there) i thought i might have known the difference but now i’m confused again…will research. thanks for the linky link bear.
so this is deload week, which i’m looking forward to. i would like to really put in the time i need for some foam rolling, stretching and all the good stuff i should be doing for the tight hip issues.
we are headed far north today (Mt. Shasta) to visit the misses’ mom. she loves to make all things fried. the biscuits and chicken gravy are standard fare. good news is the ‘back yard’ is a huge hill, covered in snow. i will make sledding down and running up the hill the antidote for the good grub i’ll be eating.
yeah for the break in rain here, what a crazy week of storms. happy weekend all!
thank you Deja, that was the other pic i was talking about. more practice needed. thank you claire.
does anyone care about deload week workouts? ;+)
so, thankfully made it home from the very snow covered mountains of the Mt. Shasta region. i got lotsa hill “runs” in knee deep snow after numerous sled runs. i also spent a lot of time digging walking paths.
the town of Mt. Shasta had 8 feet of snow in 7 days…and NO POWER for days! we were a tad south of there so thankfully there was power and i was able to get the car out of the driveway and down the lane without chains, just more digging.
