Don’t know how I built myself a bad rep.
If you’re only 4 lb. over the weight class, you can EASILY cut in time for the meet if it’s important to you.
Beautiful bod. Yes, another compliment.
And I want my fucking cupcake. (See Greenie’s log.)
cal- ditto, woman!
pmpm- I’d like to THINK i arch more than much, but i havent taped myself in awhile, so i’ll refer you to senor pegg. i have no clue. (that originally wasnt a sex pun but now im giggling.)
n- i hear ya. c’mere, i’ll rub ur belly.
snap- not a bad rep. dont go reading into it, you damn emotional female. just can’t remember getting one from you so it made me feel all special. even made me wanna put on my helmet.
(tried to find the pic of my ass with a cupcake on each cheek and i dunno what happened to it. was gonna post that and say, “u can haz tew cupcaeks!” but shit.)
training
was shit after my main lift. im in a generally pissy mood and going to bed.
in lieu of ass pic with cupcakes.

you should start every log with this pic. it’s ma favoritz
That’s a great bench you have there. Good luck on the meet. You’ll have a blast. What fed is it?
omg that cupcake pic made mah day! hahaha
n- thanks for posting that! mine got lost in the abyss somewheres.
o- well hey there lady! I believe it’s an IPA meet. However, im purposely keeping myself out of the loop as much as possible. I dont expect any nerves, I don’t have any now, and i figure the less i know the better. sticking with the, show up and do what im told, kinda thing.
deja- the cupcakes were delicious. i hear that presentation is half of taste, or something. 
So here I am for Bear Update time.
first, training last (wednesday, thursday, something?) went fine for my main lift, then the accessory work sucked ass. Some combination of having worked out of town, working for too many days in a row (12 this time), probably not eating enough, and the company in the gym just made me want to go home and crawl in bed and quit life.
training was deadlifts, pull singles up to what i THOUGHT i could do for a max double, and quit there. got up to 245. i knew i could have done another rep, and i was happy with that.
some time between re-racking my plates and starting pullups i witnessed some amazing (even for my local) douchebaggery, and by the time i got to my grip work (db holds) one of the “trainers” was talking to me about powerlifting, and thoroughly showing his ass. to the point where i could have counted hairs and guessed what he’d had for lunch.
“if it was up to me, no one would have bench shirts, ever,”
“oh you found a meet where you can squat, too? i know a lot of guys went strictly to push pull because squats are so bad for your back,”
“oh you’re lifting in london? what, you have a personal trainer down there somewhere?”
“wow you have a really good bench for a girl your size,”
“yeah it’s good you’re staying away from drugs. you dont wanna end up looking like a man,”
For the record, this is the guy who came up to me one day, looked at the db i had on the ground, and asked, “what are ya doin today?” --one arm, neutral grip, db floor presses. “oh, whats that?”
so i let that and some guys who were lying down doing bicep curls on the cable machine (i shit you not.) really get to me. ive also come to the conclusion that my attitude is so consistently pissy when im in there that no one notices when im actually in a bad mood.
i really did go to bed almost as soon as i got home that night. even without dinner or pwo anything.
saturday training at EFS was a completely different story. still squatting to foam (because i got there before tate did, and didnt wanna waste time sitting around for instruction) i got a foamy PR. 195 for a double, to the foam. it felt good, no one who was watching had any corrections to make, it was AWESOME. im so excited for next week to free squat and see how i do. RAWR!
accessory work was glute ham raises (back on the decline with the other GHR machines) and while i lost gas sooner than before, they all felt good. Even got a compliment about my hamstrings. “looks like you’re putting some size on em. either that or you got some saddlebags.” No way, man, the saddle bags have BEEN there, the hamstrings are alllll miiiine!
weekend GPP started about 5pm saturday, spent the weekend with pegg and his parents and his kids again. i had a blast, as my maturity is damn near that of pegg’s 5 year old son, and my attention span pretty much matches the 2 year olds. I brought my Joey this time, and he was the best dog i really could have hoped for.
He’s not used to small people, and did VERY well with being around em so much. Tried to get the dog to take his turn driving and Joey gave me some shit about not being able to reach the pedals… whatever.
but seriously, i slept so hard on saturday night, and so hard last night. I dont understand how moms get fat or have trouble losing baby weight. Those kids never stopped moving and neither did anyone else. it was great.
oh, and, we stopped for gyros on the way home again… teehee.
have today off, and getting paid for it. one of those, “use your vacation days, or lose em,” things, and my hire date is 17aug, so i really cut it down to the wire with those. oh well. darn. guess i’ll have to find something to occupy my day with… catching up on your logs, making some vitamin D outside, eating, lifting… hmmm. schedule looks rough.
damn nice foam squats Bear
as for the idiots you need to have your headset on to full-blast, drown out the clowns mode. works for me.
lying bicep cable curls WTF?
Nice training bear! Especially the 195 squat. And I’m excited for your free squat too.
Still jelly that you have a GHR machine to work on bitch
Hope you had a nice day off! You deserve it.
Masch-With a little equipment you can rig something up to do GHRs. I’ve done them with a band in the smith machine. Choke band on bar, place bar at top of machine. Loop band around upper body and have a partner hold your ankles. I’ve done these before when I was stuck training at a commercial gym. This setup eliminates the “OMG I’m going to smash my face” feeling of natural GHRs.
Bear-I was just forced to sign a 2yr contract at Golds. I’m sure I’ll be able to match those stories in a matter of weeks. Any tips on pissing off gym goers so they never talk to you again or take your equipment between sets? I think I got one guy already, but that took too long. I need to be more efficient.
Awesome back, Claire! Is your tat fully colored now?
all together now…aaawwwwww
You’re just an All American Girl, CBear.
n- gym idiots. i cant lift blind, not yet as skilled as the snapper-ettes. and, i have NO idea where the charger is for my ipod. i could wear it and just leave the headphones in, though.
masch- ghr machine is only at efs… at home i did em on the lat pulldown. i still hear people talking about that crazy thing i can do that makes the boys hurt and stop trying. lols. then i remember the population sample… ew.
bg- there’s a couple great lines i have on standby, check courts log (if its still around) for some good ones… and let me know situation by situation. we’ll have u bear bitchy in no time!
pegg- WHY did you post a pic of me in shorts? the nugget is cute enough, sure, but that’s an awful lot of white to be showing off. someone may go blind. also, for the record, i had black biker shorts on under those so my legs wouldnt rub together. playing with those nuggets while im in pants is HARD!
greenie- nope, waiting till after the meet to finish it. half reward, half saving, half not wanting it ruined and i know i’ll have some time off afterward. (like i dont take time off now.)
snap- half german, quarter irish, quarter english. im born to be drunk, war minded, and rude. who am i to deny my heritage?
training tonight-
half an hour in the hot tub at the local. stretching, relaxing, letting the jets beat on my back. i had company. 5 people, none of them under 300lbs. none of them powerlifters. when they got out, the water level dropped six inches. makes me wonder if they get in there bc they cant reach shit to wash it. i checked with the water staff, they assured me there’s enough chemicals to kill ANYTHING that comes in there.
better living through chemistry, i say!
oh and for those of you who will be amused, im having homemade beef stew (yeah, i cook and im good at it), blueberries, and beer for dinner.
im sick of this eternal summer break. ive been out of school since march. work schedule changes all the time, i work myself to pissy attitude and near death (ok tired but it feels like death) and i have no real obligations outside of the standard housekeeping and gym going.
i cant WAIT to finish my degree (in whateverthefuck, this time,) get back on a real schedule, and get a real job. deadlines, rules, thats how i thrive.
sure, i could make my own schedule, but what the fuck am i gonna say when i change it?
and i really, really get away with too much shit at work. im rubbing off on my boss, too. he muttered about killing an irritating patients dog tonight. never woulda happened three years ago when i got hired. where else can i call a coworker a cumdumpster and get away with it?
So much to catch up on here!
That is the sexiest back picture ever. Really.
WOOT WOOT! for that bench! Holy shit, that’s alot of weight.
Your legs in shorts are highly picture-worthy.
We are different schedule-wise – a real schedule and rulz make me want to put a bullet in ma head. But I understand your outlook and hope you get what you are looking for soon.
I was away during the call for thong panty pix but I will see what I can do now that I’m back…
your a natural CB!
