I love reading these funny stories but must admit that these things never happen to me.
Holy crap N, what a “stupid” time you had! You gotta get a homegym setup to avoid the douche-ness! You can use mine, but you HAVE to cook dinner, because your meals always sound like 100% WIN!
hey lady!
love the back shot a couple pages back.
the little one is freakin adorable.
u’re murdering the dips.
lotsagood. =+)
Nikki - I don’t usually get mean but damn there’s a limit to my patience.
LS - I really don’t give “the princess” vibe which makes this whole mess even grosser.
Joe: I totally need to work on my “A-hole game”. I’m going to channel your scowl tonight.
Snap - Judgin by your vids maybe your coach keeps the weirdos away?
Ink - i’d totally take you up on the offer especially now that winter’s around the bend…
Deja - nice of you to swing by Girl! thanks for all the lovin.
Drove 300km today. Ate well, had my water but wasn’t planning to hit the gym. At least, not until I found Beast. Beast is my new awesome lifting belt I found at a customer’s today and got a good price for. Now I need to try it out fo sure! (Guess what color it is?)
Maybe this wack-o week will end on a good vibe.
see ya laterz
hahahahaha! Stupid parade I love that!
(so going to steal and use that phrase)
It was raining and I didn’t want to wet my super-belt so I wore it losely around my hips under my jacket. Which made me look like I had a beer gut. Plus a was carrying a big chunk of white stuff in a transparent ziplock (chalk), and I was wearing my most raggety gym pants. And I was walking with a goofy smile on my face thinking my belt made me feel like He-Man when he draws his sword “I have the power of the Universe!”. I must have made quite the impression. lol.
considering I drove 300 km today, and this was my 4th day in a row at the gym, I’m pretty happy with the results I got.
Wide grip cable pull down
85lbs 3x8 - getting stronger on these. Hopefully some of this will transfer to pullups.
deadlift (sans belt) - did singles to my 1 rep max
155lbs
185lbs
195lbs
205lbs
225lbs (with belt at this point)
235lbs
245lbs
250lbs
255lbs
260lbs - 1st try no go but got liftoff on second run.
265lbs - nill. tried 3 times. My personal best is 280 when refreshed so I’m happy with today.
225lbs
225lbs
10x135 (sans belt)
Supper: Frenchie’s mid-week quickie chilli.
fry up 2 cloves of garlic in oil, add ground meat (turkey in this case), cook until brown, add half a jar of organic spaghetti sauce (we use tomatoe-basil). Add baby spinach, chili powder, crushed red pepper, and smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Cook through. Sprinkle with fresh chilantro and in our case mild blue cheese which is, of course, optional.
Do not tell me eating healthy is hard. This took me like 15 minutes tops. 20 with cooking time.
plenty of protein and veg, light on the carbs, filling, spicey and warm. nuff said.

Hey I remember that cartoon. Serious looking belt.
Belt? what belt?
nice color!
hope it has a few more holes on the tight end…
Great find Git!
soldog - it does I was wearing it loose for the photo shoot. Didn’t want the belly overhang. I have my pride.lol
…
That picture is extremely sexy. Really, it may well have been the highlight of this very weird day/week.
Having a human so close to me during a 45 lb. DB snatch would have unnerved me enough to miss the lift. Good on you for just powering through the Stupid.
HOLY HOT PICS! Great job! but i still haven’t seen this belt you speak of!
Whoa! Damn N! There is so much win in that picture, fantastic!
…and great lifting too, way to keep pulling when the bar gives you the middle finger.

Thanks for the flattering comments everyone 
A little housework and a few errands today. I gifted myself with a 50mm lense. Something I’ve been desiring all year. It has not disappointed.
Tomorrow I’m helping the brother set up his tempo. merde.
