i think you and bobbi got my share of da cocky/confindence gene.
in seriousness… i’m EXTREMELY seasonal. summer and fall i’m all about strength, eating everything in sight, and lots of brews. in winter and spring i’m obsessed with being lean and if i don’t lock down the nutrition and get strict with things i’ll end up depressed by february. =+/
ass, hammies, and quads are nice and sore. foam rolling’s gonna suck balls today. mebbe i can convince the old lady to squeeze mah glutes a bunch.
blue skies. it’s gonna be a nice day. yah boi.
i’m hoping to maybe get in a round or two of folfin (disc golf) later. it’d be nice active recovery. we’ll see.
i don’t know if i’ve ever done anything as painful as foam rolling was this morning.

those sled drags fucking killed me. i’m pooped!
think i’m gonna go eat a GINORMOUS bowl of cereal, drink a protein drink, and get in the shower. getting out is going to be a chore.
what kind of cereal and protein you gnosh on? :)[/quote]
actually i opened the fridge and saw the leftover rotisserie chicken and mashed potatoes from last night so i went with a big plate of that.
protein - i have a couple diff kinds… but mostly stick with scivation whey (chocolate).
cereal - we have a shit load of diff kinds atm since mah old lady’s training for a marathon and i spend most days force feeding as many calories down her mouth as i can. haha i would of probably went with honey bunches of oats or something. post workout i don’t really fret about the sugar content or anything of some of those. i actually haven’t eaten cereal in quite awhile. i was on a multi grain cheerios kick for awhile. om nom nom.
i like ur current cutting plan! seems extremely reasonable and solid. best of luck miss betty.
Dejavued, I’m in awe of your BB step-up’s. I’d fall over like a weeble.
Did a double take today at Kroger walking past CHOCOLATE cheerios! Love any kind of Cheerios. Worse addiction than wine or beer. Can’t keep them in the house.
I only have boring mutligrain flakes at home- cheerios I will go through a box in a couple of days - and I’m talking big family packs. I think it stems from the fact that I did not have cereal in the house as a kid… know thyself and keep the cereal away.
mmmm cereal… i know what i’m gonna eat for pwo now. sounds yummy.
yesterday was yard work, a bike ride, and lots of foam rolling.
today was a long day.
still got mah deadlifts in.
just went with a quick pyramid for the the rep scheme since i haven’t done deads in ages and wasn’t in the mood for the typical 5/3/1. i do what i want. right.
FF - B2
foam rolling, hip mobility circuit
deadlift: 135 x 8; 185 x 3; 215 x 3; 245 x 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Cereal = evil. I regard it as junk food. Used to have a terrible problem binge-eating the stuff - I could go through a box of muesli in two days and used to eat handfulls of granola as though it was candy. Don’t get me started on those mini cinnamon French toasts… Decided to cut out grains a couple of years ago and feel heaps better for it. No cereals, bread or anything like that.

yup i just use an aerobic step. one day i was taking the kids i nanny for on a walk and i ran into like 10 of those big steps with a free sign… so i piled a bunch on top of the stroller and rolled em home. haha
they come in mega handy for defecit stuff or for setting the plates on for power cleans when i’m using baby plates.
the extras we’re using as shelves in the shed. =+)
with all the cereal talk we gotta give glove n special sauce a shoutie.
once this song gets in mah head it never leaves.
i got up early before work to foam roll today. so many hot spots, especially along my it band.
today will be a SHITLOAD of mobility work and lots of stretching, bw squats, etc.

ya i definitely dont trust the aerobic steps in my gym, they creak when i do stepups with 95lbs, I’m not gonna load em with 350+. I havent even tried to see if I can stand sumo on them.

hell yeah for your freebies tho!![/quote]
probably can’t do sumo with a super wide stance. i tried that and they’re a bit short.
mine are creaky too but i live on the edge. haha
shit, can’t beat free. i’ve paid so ridiculously little for all my workout equipment. craigslist ftw. but it’s awesome cuz i can justify buying a brand spankin new trap bar and a bumper set in the next year or so since i’ve spent so little the last few years.
If one wanted to pull from a def sumo. One could use smaller plates 35 or 25 on the bar instead of 45’s
Somr people can’t handle sumo from a def
very well but it is worth a try.
Another way to train sumo is to put clips inside the plates (next too bar) so u can get and extra wide stance. This
mainly done for assistance work or as a warm up because over time it is very hard on the hips.
For someone who pulls sumo alot one of the best things they can do is pull conventional from a def. This can be used as main moment or for assistance work.
Edit or one could pull with a “snatch” grip awesome way to get freaky strong
