So when I got to the gym and started deadlifting this old Asian dude sat on the lat pull down near me and just watched me for like 20 minutes or more???
Like not even trying to pretend like he was doing something else or anything. Literally sat there and stared at me without doing a single rep of his own.
Wouldn’t even look away when I looked at him
He could SEE ME acknowledge HIS WATCHING OF ME
AND DIDN’T CARE
I even mouthed WTF

Squat 185 x 1 —>190 x 2
Bench 130 x 1 —> 135 x 1 *paused
Military press 100 x 1 —> 105 <— this one is a slow piece of shit, so whatever
barbell hip thrust 225 x 3 → 225 x 5
deadlift 240 x 1 —> 250 <— the only limiting factor here is my stupid tiny hands/hook grip being the awfullest thing ever…
and I’d love to get my incline bench up to 115 soon.
Yeah, that’s basically it, I reckon’.
dream that no one cares about:
I had a dream that marshall (fake) and I were either dancing or hugging. I think it was hug dancing. Anyway, and I believe we were in my parents’ front yard and I was singing to him.
I was singing
“I wish you a merry Christmas, I WISH you a merry Christmas, I WIIIIIISHH you a merry Christmas and a happy near year!!”
But I actually sounded good.
And I think it was somewhat seductive or something because in my dream he had a boner.
I could tell this because of our hug dancing.
hahaha
Holy shit what the hell could any of that possibly mean.
I thought dreams were supposed to be some kind of window into my soul or something so I could learn shit about myself.
Like when Link peaked in that window and saw Ganondorf’s evilness
HAHAHAH
Yeah, that’s the same thing.
So what are you saying Jenn? I’m looking into my window and all I see is crazy.
ALL I SEE IS CRAZY

K, good.
Still wondering what I should do about front squats.
Do they not make anyone else cough?
I sound like Darth Vader when I do them
BUt mama ! I don’t wanna sound like Darth Vader
Lord Vader
Lord Jenn

N EWAY
How come everyone at the gym makes their cable rear delt fly some sort of tricep exercise
BEY
BYE
I can vouch for the fact that front squats make me cough as well and give me the Lord Vader effect. Lately it seems like I always have a cold and on days where I am pushing for a front squat rep PR I get that tickle in my throat and it becomes distracting as all get out. Probably 95% of the time I use a clean grip for front squat but every now and then I will use straps as Thibs has explained on his front squat video.
I do not get the urge to cough with the straps but I am A LOT more comfortable using the clean grip than straps. And yes even if I don’t have a cold front squats will make me want to cough at the worst possible time. Sometimes I will set the bar too far back towards my throat and catch a nice jab in the Adams Apple and lose my breath for a moment. It takes time but you will find the sweet spot. Been a lurker on your log for a while and find it very entertaining. Your workouts are nuts but honestly I usually skip down to the end and read your write up and random thoughts. Keep Killing It!
Those are some pretty cool looking chucks indeed mam!
If the grip is still giving you grief on Deadlifts, you could ask your gym management if they could buy a 25mm bar (that’s the women’s weightlifting diameter). It really does make a huge difference.

K, so, fuck you hook grip.

LIke my hands looked like I was in some sort of bar brawl.

I dream of strength, I really do, but what good is strength if you’re in too much pain to enjoy any of it.
I don’t know if this grip is for me…
My hands are smaller than my 8-year-old son’s.
