you will need to die now. death by gluttony. pie shall be my weapon. there will be no resistance.
speaking of fools I was told last night at the gym by the trainers that I should not hold my breath while doing exercises because I will faint from the pressure. nice.

So your going to force me to eat pie? I think I’ve had dreams like that.
You know I believe you could faint from a heavy DL like that. But I ignore trainers like they have STDs.

You should have pretended to pass out right in front of them right after they said that.
“What? Really…NO WAY…collapse”
Nice job on the PR!

Do they think you don’t breathe at all? So glad there are no trainers at my gym.

Ink - fab idea. I need to try it on a full house night.
Joe - thanks for hooking up Lady Kimba.
I AM ON FIRE BABY!!!
After last week’s WTF moments this week is turning out stellar. Was planning on squating again since my legs felt fine but the rack was occupied. Grabbed a bar and did some deads. Had not planned on it so not chalk. I knew it would limit me but I figured it would be good grip practice. Turns out my grip has gotten less pussified.
deadlift
155lbs 1x5
185lbs 1x5
205lbs 1x5
225lbs 1x5 (with belt at this point)
245lbs 1x1
225lbs 1x1
cage was now available so I figured I would do reps rather than maxes.
Squat
115lbs 1x5
135lbs (with belt) 4x5 - very happy with these.
And now for the piece de resistance…
Bench
95lbs 1x8
115lbs 1x5
125lbs 1x5
130lbs 1x5
135lbs 1x5 - wo! rep PR +2
140lbs 1x4 - damn. rep PR +3
145lbs 1x1 - holy crap - PR + 5lbs!
150lbs 1x1 - shit damn fuck PR + 10lbs!!!
155 - fail. but happy. some nice samaritain helped me from under the bar but I was still smiling like a goof.
After last week’s fail on 140 I was totally not going for this. Actually I was planning 4x5 for the 115 but everything felt right and light I just had to keep going. I had been lifting for almost 2 hours by the end of it so 155 is in the bag for next time. That means that after 1 year of form rehab and kicking my ego I will have reached 1 of my goals - bodyweight bench. I’m 5lbs away, that sucker is mine!
Supper: BBQ porc ribs served with couscous, aragula and parmesan salad. that is going to be a sweet meal.
I love you guys (in an internet kinda way of course).
N
edit: I’m still flying high. lol
Husband’s delish couscous salad:
cook 1/2 cup of whole wheat couscous in 1 cup of chicken broth.
Fluff with fork
add handfull of fresh aragula
add cubed parmesan cheese (and use the good stuff for crying out loud)
add big handfull of raisins.
mix.
The salty-sweet mix is awesome.
…
Haha “shit damn fuck”
You’re killin it N, keep it up.
You are SO going to get that BW bench. I’m sure the only reason you didn’t get it today is because you hit a lot of PRs already.
Excellent stuff on your P.R’s. That is so rockin’!!!11
Wow, wicked benching N!
Got me all fired up to go lift now kthxbai!
Awesone! congratz on the PR(s)!
it’s great when the stars align and they just pop out like that!
Oh my. I miss a few days and find both squat and bench PRs! And not little PRs, mind you, but big PRs. Simply amazing. Maybe you oughta look into a PL meet? Just give it a think. Your numbers are getting up there, girly.
Thanks everyone 
Snap: Honestly I think it’s because I’ve been working on form for almost a year now and I had a good strength base. It just felt like it clicked this week.
bench: tight arch, shoulders burried in the bench, big breath, hold breath, keep elbows tucked… It just came together. Now to keep practicing…
On a different note it is now 1am and I just woke up from the strangest dream. There was a discussion between Hallowed and other folks about your “totem animal” in a thread a few days back. Without directly believing in it I do feel that we can associate ourselves to certain characteristics of animals to the point of dreaming about them. I dream of house cats regularly because the critters are like family to me. I always assumed I would associate myself with the big cats. So I’ve been kinda sending the thought “out there” that it would be cool to know my totem animal and dream of it…
I’m running, it’s night in the city. No city lights but I can see fine. The buildings are pretty crumbled and open. People have weapons. guns, a war zone. I am running stealth-like through the shadows trying to escape. The running leads me to water. The bridge is collapsed. It is cold outside, fall: almost winter. I need to cross the river. I think “This is too cold. It will kill me” I jump in, with a growl. I barely feel the cold. I think “wolf” at this point. Something touches my feet in the water, helping to push me through the currents. It is ok. It is my mate helping. Why do I need help? I realize as I get out of the water: I am pregnant. We are running, I on 2 feet, my mate on 4. He is in this strange half-changed/wolf state. He is exhausted. We hide and run. We hide because he cannot change and pass as human. He is too exhausted. In crowded areas I use my human state to try and distract guards and other people with weapons hunting. It is a somewhat modern scene. We hide between cars and other recent creations…In my dream I give birth. I have a son, we have a son. He is in human form and perfect. My mate is on the brink of death having guarded us through it all. I have a thought that he will not make it, perhaps my son will survive if we leave him behind. But no; he is lying on the ground, still in half-form, eyes closed. I take my son’s hand and bring it to his nose. “Our son” I say. He wakes up alert, eyes focused on the path we must take. He will see us through this. He will find the last bit of energy he needs for his son. We are running, my son against my chest, my right hand occassionaly drifting down to grasp a handfull of fur. Finally we reach a smaller town. It is not safe, but safer. We can rest here for a day or two. There are is a small group of children outside. I think “It will be good for my son to play with other children” already he is bigger - like a 6 month old.
And I wake up, with a strange peace in my heart but also a sadness from knowing my left arm empty of my son and my right hand empty of my mate’s fur.
My waking mind though that maybe I was wolf-like all along and could not “compute” it, but really there was such a difference between my upright walking and my mate that it was not. I could not fall back asleep so I thought it would help me if I shared the experience. I know I have a head filled with fantasy fiction but I have not read/watched anything recently to trigger such as dream. I went to bed after watching a show on motor bikes…
I have a furry soul apperently. what a surprise
night night everyone…
nice PRs!!!
I have no words about the dream(you have cool dreams!!) congrats on your bench!!!
awesome dream!
