Weird. I just saw them a little while ago! The wellington looked deeeelicious! (and super professional) and your cookie pie is just a total cutie!

apparently pics are screwed up again.

what ever.

sounds like you’re getting over your cold :wink: Not sure the gym would appreciate the gesture and the only thing I have at home are 25lbs DB which would NOT make the picture awesome. lol.

Great job on squats, looking strong.[/quote]

Thanks for stopping by Germanone, I’ve been working on those bitches for eva!

I just spent a few minutes searching to see if you had a log and couldn’t find anything. Plz let me know if you do so I can return the favor.

another pic attempt…

bah fuck it.

disappointing… i was looking forward to your pics. They are always outstanding.

Okay just got caught up with your log and you are pretty awesome with your squatting, your hard work and persistance is paying off.
The pic of your neice (/???) is adorable btw, but you know that huh? Great stuff and keep after it!

your kid??? is friggin cute!!!

also your second bench rep is my max… quit whining ;). Also, you’re lucky you get to work with rings. I would love to bolt some to my cieling, but alas I live in a concrete dorm.

Frenchy, you are working it hard in here. Nice!

I also have to remember elbows forward on squats. In fact, my elbows aren’t even – my right elbow is always further back. Crazy!

Love hearing about your meet prep. I have some commands for you to follow. :slight_smile:

Git - I might comply someday, but I will need to exact payment. You have been crazy bundled up these days due to the weather. If you can come up with something nice, I will post something too. fair’s fair :wink:

n8tive/Bre - kiddo is my niece, just a little sunshine to be around. Started walking these days and mouthing a few words.

Kimba - such a tease :wink: (gimme more.lol)

What he said.

I also think the gym would appreciate it more than you know.

Hmmm…this is complicated given my unheated gym, my lack of artistic abilities and the fact that the subject of your picture is much more pleasing to the eye. This could take awhile.

Love the avvie N, delicious!

So is that salmon wellington. Yum.

So today I took advantage of a planless saturday to deadlift powerlifting style with a full 5-10 minutes of rest between sets. I also filmed my deads for the first time in order to really see what I was doing.

135lbs 1x8
155lbs 1x5
185lbs 2x5
205lbs 1x5
225lbs 2x1
235lbs 1x1
245lbs 1x1
255lbs fail dammit. screw on game head. grrrr.
255lbs 1x1!
265lbs 1x1
275lbs 1x1
285lbs 1x1!!! personal record on deads. Most I ramped up all styles combined was 280lbs
295lbs fail twice at this point I’ve been there for 3 hours. (11-2pm). I’m done.
225lbs 12x1 - was planning to do 1x5 but the load felt heavy so I pushed for a bunch of singles with short rests and resets.

Overall very pleased with this, but it might hurt tomorrow.

EDIT: Just checked my log and the last time I let loose on my sumo deads I maxed out at 255lbs december 22nd. This means that in terms of sumo style the 265, 275 and 285 are ALL PR’s for a max of +30lbs PR. I Rule. I am having a well-deserved deer meat pie for supper.

I think you are right on the hurty hurt tomorrow. KILLER freakin session though. Envious of your deads!

Beautiful Work…

I want to poste my vids in my new log so stay tune for some log filling crap and a new log with sumo deads PR vids.

Edit - didn’t see your poste there N8tive, we each have our strengths, and my goal is to hit 300lbs this year - long stretch 315. I have a competition with Miss Bear on this.

filler crap

killer queen
