210 is oh-so close. You’ll get it next time.
I’ve been thinking about getting compression tights for running. I won’t look as hot in them as you, though.
Kimba! You should totally get them, they feel so nice and your butt would look hot in them!
Tonight I overindulged in kalamari and by 9pm was still moaning so I just did a bunch of push presses. I was aiming for 5 on those last 2 sets but didn’t make it. Tough!
push press
100x5
105x5
110x4
110x4
very close. I’m sure if you go for it again and really focus on exploding out of the hole, you will get that weight.
wow!! 
Great booty My Deb!!! And PR’s!!! You almost had the two-ten, in fact you probably were just fatigued. For me its all singles before trying a back squat pr–even the bar!!!
OH!! nice pp’s!! :D!
Great work on that PR!!
:WOOT: You have that 210 if not more, next time! so strong…
Was that your knee clicking? mine do that too…ick.

More seriously though, it sucked squatting alone and upon video review never making depth because I could never tell during the lift. But at least ATG there’s no doubt! [/quote]
Exactly my experience. I squatted for years thinking I was parallel, but now squat ATG for the same reason.
Can’t believe you missed that squat! you’d done the hard part.
You’ll definitely smoke it next time.
Awesome PR and push presses!
I watch your vids for your workout attire and booty wiggles =D
Of course for the awesome lifts too, but mainly for the reasons I stated above haha
Man, even your fails are graceful!
compression pants look hot. bigger butt for ftw!
good job on the new squat PR.
Thanks guys! 210 very soon I hope!
My workout blew tonight though. I was doing hang snatches at lower weights trying to get fast under the bar but I banged the bar off my pubic bone one too many times and it all went to hell. I was doing pretty good until then! I lost track of what I did but it was something like 70x3,3,3 75x3,3,3, 80x3,3,3 85x3,3–hit pubic bone, all gone to hell and a bunch of attempts from 85, back down to 75 trying to get it back but I gave up frustrated.
So I went on to some front squats and attempted a PR to cheer myself up. I got to 175 okay but failed on my 180 attempt. So no PR. It wasn’t even close and I didn’t pussy out so I’m okay with that. I should work on my ramping up I think if I’m going to try for PRs I pretty much just wing it.
front squats
135x4
145x3
155x1
160x1
165x1
170x1
175x1
180x0
Here are some snatches that I don’t know what the weight was, probably 75 and 80lbs. The last one was one of the pubic bone collisions 
hey wow! you are definitely getting much faster and smoother at getting under the bar!! well done!
sorry about your hip, though :-/ really hope it feels better soon.
i’m never sure how to ramp up the weights going for a PB squat attempt, either. such a fine line between getting the neurological facilitation without fatigue… sorry you didn’t get a new PB. looks like hang snatches were going really well, though, until your oopsie.
owww. i can feel the awful vibration of bar via the internet…OUCH.
That sounds…painful. Ouch. Wouldn’t want a bruise there, I can tell you.
Hope your hip feels better soon. I’m in the injured camp too and it sucks.
Woo-hoo! I stand by my claim that Oly lifters are the cutest ever!! You’re looking stellar Deb! That booty is a thing of art
Awesome push presses! So strong!
And yeah, you’ll def get that 210 - I’m sure a good ramping system will totally help! That’s helped me tons in the past. You can always use a calculator, but I would just ramp every 15- 20lbs after 135lbs. You know you can manage the weight! Get at it, woman!
You snatches are coming along fantastically! You’re definitely getting faster under the bar! Good stuff. I’ve definitely bruised my pubic bone, so i feel ya. You can put a sponge there if it really hurts, but I just opted to “learn from my mistakes” - funny how it takes hurting yourself to learn not to do something. lol! I still get bruises on my thighs from cleans too. UGH!
ps. I love the stop and “ow” at the end of the vid. HAH! Too cute!
ouch on the hit.
re ramping: for bench I ramp by 5lbs, for squats and deads mostly 10lbs, sometimes 5 near the max out. More importantly give yourself a solid 10 minutes of rest between sets. (and watch a clock, it’s longer than you think).
Definetely think that smaller weight jumps will serve you better. I think 10-20# are good jumps for legs.
Not that I’m trying to help you get a better front squat than mine, your front squat kicks my front squat’s ass =D
Bah I missed alot! Nice work!
Soooo late finishing tonight!
Thanks for all the sympathy for my bar collision lol. I can’t lean against anything now. Major bruise and welt! Oh well, it goes with the territory I guess. I was a bit reluctant snatching tonight but I got over it. At least it’s not anything that will interfere with training. Might interfere with other things 
Brute and Cal I didn’t realize you could hear it that much. I should really unmute when I’m posting videos. I didn’t know my squat video had my knees cracking that MiM pointed out either.
Alexus and Masch, I’m glad to hear you think I’m getting faster!! It’s maddening trying I tell ya!
Haha Masch, I’ll make sure to not edit out such moments then 
With the footage I have I could put together a montage of fails, bar collisions, weeping and tantrums that might be quite amusing =D
Masch, Frenchie and Nikki, thanks for the suggestions on ramping. I’ll put a bit more thought into it next time.
Frenchie good point about the rest. I tend to try and get my squats done in 20 minutes or less.
Trav! Hai! =D
Tonight I started pretty late but still got a lot in. I got stuck snatching again but I figured some stuff out. Mostly that part of my speed problem is my hips aren’t retreating fast enough and so once I figured that out things got a bit better on the heavier lifts. Over the last few workouts I was totally stalling on the snatches and I didn’t understand but after going over my videos in slow motion a bunch of times I could see my hips not retreating as part of the problem.
snatch
bar
65x3
70x3
75x2,2
80x2,2,2,1 - realized here I have a hip retreating issue and this is hindering getting under the bar - did some drills
85x1
90x1
95x0,0,0,0,0 - balls!
jerks (from clean)
-still dipping too much
-bar should be further back
-split isn’t great
-need to remember how to recover
-HEELS! (In Koing’s brother’s voice)
95x3
105x3
110x3
120x1 - not a good jerk, pretty much a push press and a power
125x1,1,1 - better
5 pullups x3 - I wanted to start going to sets of ten or add weight but after all those jerks I couldn’t do it
don’t edit! Your vids are great!
so much props to you olympic ladies for the thought and study you do for these lifts. really is worth telling you many times. i’ve never had to think of angles, retreating hips, —>heels for fucks sakes. a salute to you!!!
and you’re pretty
can’t blame a girl for tryin!
you work so hard…
