That could be all I suppose

I am honestly very excited about cutting.
I think I have put on some good muscle since Jan. and it will be exciting to see what it looks like with less fat over it.
Gotta diet as hard as you train
Train as hard as u diet
WROK
WORK

Nothing is deserved. It’s all earned
I used to get mad when I squatted because I felt I should be stronger, but why? It’s worked for, it’s earned. I am not entitled to it.
You gotta earn every rep, every pound, nothing is supposed to be easy.
Same with weight loss.
I wonder why I ain’t look like a figure model yet when I bust my balls every single day.
Well, I also eat a lot of food and don’t do any cardio.

BRING IT ON WORLD I’m ready to be ripped.

It’s probably better to veer away from any kind of extension in the deadlift, as opposed to flexion. We’re basically taught to stay away from the proverbial rounded lower back, and in doing that, some people will get as far from that as possible and arch their back like damn bow or some shit.

That said, your pull looks beautiful, the way you loaded the hamstrings, and drove into it with a neutral spine. It was only at the top where you sort of went robin hood bow archer level 12. But yeah, one of the best pulls i’ve seen on tnation otherwise, nice job.[/quote]

Thanks SMV!!!
Do you mean at the end its like too locky outty?
You have to talk like a toddler BTW or I get confused LOL!!
I squeeze my ass very much so at the end so maybe that makes my back too archy ??
[/quote]

More so just the negative, where it looks like you went into lumbar extension. But it honestly isn’t even a big deal considering how proficient the pull itself was. Just a mental cue, try to lower the bar with a neutral spine as well, just so you don’t somehow venture into spooky territory. Tbh, I don’t even think about this myself because I train in a setting where I can just drop the bar after I finish a rep so seeing negatives with an ounce of control are an eyesore, yet in truth are pretty innocuous.

Such is life I suppose.

Anyway
random life that no one cares about news:
I could not fall asleep last night because I was too happy
I woke up in the middle of the night last night and could not fall back asleep because I was too happy
So fucking happiness is ruining my sleep which is ruining my lifting which makes me miserable, LOL
But things are back to a year ago with regards to my boy situation
Surely 98% of people might think I am delusional
Even some of the people living inside my head probably think that way as well
But I shit you not
It’s the same
I get good morning beautiful texts again
and good night texts
and I miss u texts
random compliments and how’s your day
LIKE WTF I never thought me being patient and understanding would truly amount to something
Like he needs time Jenn, give him time and respect
Or you’re a fool because he was never THAT person and wishing back someone who was never real to begin with is a waste of time
But no
He was real
and he’s come back
And if u had told me back in august or sept. or oct… Or nov… when things where on and off terrible to awful that I could have this good again I’d say LIES LIES LIES do not torment me !!!
But it’s cozy and I am never taking it for granted ever again
Nope

I find that whenever I can’t pick up something from the floor that I’ve hit before, it means my stance is getting too wide (assuming we’re talking conventional deadlift). In turn, stance getting too wide usually means I’ve either put on some weight or my hamstrings are tight and I don’t want to bend my legs as much as usual.

Oh my goodness, this was very helpful!!

I think my stance was a bit wider actually now that u mention it.
And I did gain some weight, hence the dietness freak out, LOL

So this is my max pull from today everyone. I am not very happy with it TBH

<< Plz don’t judge my blubber >>

Oh you might be closer to 99.5% delusional!
Does he take you out anywhere? Do you go out in public with him? Any dinner dates,movies? Ever get a gift from him? He might not be the Dream guy you have been waiting on. But he’s stuck around because you are continuous means for easy sex that requires little effort and zero upkeep.
You are likely just hanging onto any thread possible to try an d invision a relationship that does not exist.

1076

I do not understand why someone who clearly despises me finds it necessary to post in my log?

I thought logs were supposed to be a positive, uplifting place.

If you do not like me or do not like what I have to say then you do not have to read a single word of it.

Is it merely a coincidence that almost all of your posts (a whopping 11) are related to Spock81? To make this even worse is that they’re mostly you heckling her about petty shit over a years time. One. Year. Nice job dude.

Are we not able to ban people from our own threads at this point? Would come in handy yo.

Or you could see it as legit Realistic advice.
1 week she was sick of just being used as a booty call. The next week she really thinks love is blossoming.
But be a White Knight and help her build her fantasy world.
If she wasn’t seeking feedback(+/-) on her personal life then she shouldn’t be publicizing it for everyone to read and anyone to comment on,Dude.
Guess I’m not wanted here so I’ll slip back into the shadows and watch this real life Jerry Springer episode from afar.

K pretty happy with today overall
the more I bench 135 the less afraid of it I’ll be
Coulda easily repped it too :stuck_out_tongue:

Thinking about what to do with my deadlift at this point
Pretty sure I am reaching a plateau. Not that I didn’t expect to at some point, I just woulda preferred it to be after I hit 250…

Thinking:
I might do mainly full reset reps from now on
singles, doubles and triples
stay at 230 and below until 230 becomes faster and full reset-reppable
Still paused deads, but maybe pause slightly longer with less weight, and defiecit deadlifts

HmMMmmM
problems without solutions are the only problematic problems

MADE UP BY ME

meme that shit, bitches

ANyway,
Spent an hour yesterday having somewhat of a panic attack picking out a garden gnome with gabe yesterday
It was weird
There was too many to choose from and then we ventured over to welcome mats and I just did not know how the fuck I was going to decide on something
So I said to gabe
“The weather is just going to ruin our gnome, let’s get nothing”
and he’s just too darn rational so he says
“Yeah, let’s go run and tell everyone with garden gnomes they better put them away FAST because they’re all going to get wrecked!!!”
I was like
O O
0

So we got this dog thing we put by the steps that’s holding a sign in it’s mouth that says welcome
I actually really, really like it.

Um
