Oooh photos. Nice!
That’s great progress; not only on the squat but the ability to video without it being sideways 
Seriously, the change is significant. It’s amazing how much harder it is to get below parallel. When I was helping the girls high school team, one girl had problems breaking parallel so we put a band in the rack for her butt to touch to let her know she hit. The band was about 6" off the floor. A lot of people don’t realise that is where your ass will be when you go below parallel.
So true. So true. Video is king.
I see your pics, i see your progress, i like.
c’mere and i’ll give u a congratulatory booty rub.
Thanks everyone!
Snap- your tough comments has pushed my to higher levels, or in this case lower ones. Thank you for your help. And other’s too who have given me good tips along the way - MIM you come to mind.
O- I use the safety bars as my LoW guide - if the barbell aint ringing I aint hitting depth.
Bear - booty FTW, please bring cupcakes too kthanksby.

edit had a few more rep PR’s than I initially thought
Damn! Nice DL PR!
I would’ve loved to be a random person working out in your gym and hear “LOCK IT OUT!”
hitting a total weight PR after a rep PR is just plain awesome lifting!
ya done good lady!
Nice DL PR!
Good job on the not swearing bit 
Out effing standing pulling, four PR’s in one day on one lift is amazing.
Nikki: hopefully I didn’t startle anyone into hurting themselves. it’s a real commercial gym. I think grunting is forbidden.lol.
Thanks soldog and ronda, the swearing part was running through my head until a bursted out loud with the “lock it out part”
Joe: 1 part amazing, 1 part holding back on previous dead days, stir and serve chilled.
Seriously I’ve put the rackpulls to the side for a bit now that my grip is no longer such an issue (thank you chalk) I’m giving myself longer breaks between lifting and really busting my ass on gym days. Plus I eat like a pig after my evening workouts. I keep it really clean during the day. Seems to be a good recipe so far. I’m going to keep at it for another 2 weeks. Starting the 23rd I’m on vacation for 2 weeks, planning to do some hiking in the quebec forests. We’ll see what I do during vacation but I’m not going to fall over myself trying to plan workouts. Once september begins I’ll see where my mindset is.

Once one reaches a certain point with lifting, I’m convinced that less can be more. You don’t have to train five times a week to make gains. Also, I take looonngg rests between sets when I’m pulling low reps. Six+ minutes on singles.
Nice, nice work.
warning: previous workout is snap-approved. - just teasin 
(emoticon to boot)
Tonight’s mission if I chose to accept it was total obliteration of my legs. We shall see if my mission was accomplished tomorrow, I should be walking like a drunken sailor in a hail storm.

1x2 - my chair wasn’t “hinged” correctly and collapsed. The shock really threw the weight down on me. I managed to press it with knees to my chest. Luckily no bobos. I gave myself a minute and was physically fine but mentally shaken. I figured if I didn’t get right back on the horse now I’d be frighten forever. So I placed by badass self under the weight and pressed it. 1-0 for me.

was planning to do some calf work but my right knee started feeling a little twitchy from the incedent so I wrapped it up and called it a day.
tried taking a few live shots but it’s hard to get the focus right when you’re your own subject. Inspired by Kimba but nowhere near as spectacular
Lookin Fierce with training to match!!
I’ve commented on the vixen thread but it’s worth telling you how hawt you are twice.
Thanks MIM
Nikki- right back at you~
