Left On Broadway

TRAINING AT EFS!!!

wahooo! I love that gym.

free squat- worked up to what was decided will be my opener, 205. felt good and strong without the foam, and my hamstrings have magically learned where i’ll need to stop to make depth. long as i keep my eyes up and my knees out i’ll be okey dokey!

deadlift- realized i hadnt pulled from the floor in awhile. 185 felt heavy, everything after that felt good. weird. good news is,

I GOT A FUCKING 2OLB PR!!

285 is mine, and it felt easier than i thought. pegg got it on video, and i’ll bother him into posting it on youtube tomorrow or monday. He got my shit eating grin on video but turned it off before the happy dance. I may be getting hamstrings.

I was told i wasnt allowed to try anything i might miss, so i cut it off at 285 even though pegg had the ammonia ready.

did 2 sets of 10 weighted situps on a decline after that, 5lbs behind my head on the first one and 5lbs on my chest for the second.

i still feel like the coolest person in the world.

You are the coolest person in the world :slight_smile:

You DL 285? Pretty freakin sex-ay.

Exciting, I can’t wait to see what total you put up on meet day. I bet you will surprise even yourself. Have you decided on a bench opener yet?

you are pretty magical!

:slight_smile:

that is hot! 285lbs man. I’m chasing ya down!! cereally well done Bear.

woo hoo!!! atta bear!

boo…this log needs more pr happydance.

nikki- it was just once, but there’s evidence of it. so yes, i can say i dl 285! and i will say it until those around me get sick of hearing it. or until i have a new number to feel good about!

owlie- havent been told for sure, but im pretty sure my bench opener will be 135. something i know i can do, and feel comfortable with.

MIM- magical AND a ninja? I should update my resume… :slight_smile:

n- chase me all u want. i’ll throw a barbell at you! or maybe, i’ll let you catch me… teehee.

deja- i’ll see what i can do about the happy dance.


forgot to tell ya’ll last night bc i was so fucking excited about my PR.

Dave left me a pile of stuffs at the gym yesterday… 4 or so t-shirts, warmup pants, A TEAM EFS SHIRT, AND THE COOLEST SINGLET IVE EVER SEEN.

yes the all caps were necessary. i wasn’t really expecting any of that, especially after all the help I’ve gotten.

it’s almost like i’m a real powerlifter… now if i can get through this meet i’ll be set.

havent had one of these in awhile, RANDOM PM!!

That was awesome!! LOVE the shit eating grin. HAHAH!

You’re gonna kill it at the meet! Great stuff woman.

pause it at 9 seconds,
…you meant business!!

your stance looks a bit wider than average…am I imagining things?

That video was the best thing I’ve seen all day (granted, I was knee deep in shit all day, but still). So! awesome! And you do have a beautiful smile.

Of course, I’m trying not to notice that is a full 100 lbs. over the most I can lift.

That looked like a warmup weight for you. Put some weight on the bar, you pussy.

Seriously, nice smile. That’s the first thing I noticed.

yep, you have 3 plates for sure

awesome bitch! now you got 20lbs on me. I’m coming for ya! seriously nice smile:) Kinda jealous you get to work out in a cool kick ass gym like that.

pegg- thanks for FINALLY uploading that. i know your workload this weekend was huge. :slight_smile:

masch- it was DEFINITELY a shit eating grin. my prob is breaking the floor, so once i did that, i knew it was coming up. i was smiling before i got decapitated i think… maybe pegg didnt think i was gonna get it, so thats why he didnt move the camera? :wink:

MIM- i sure as shit meant business! thats still warmup weight for most of the people there… NOT pulling it wasnt an option! no one has told me my stance was too wide… you’re just pickin on me now. but seriously, no ones fixed it… so i guess its ok?

kimba- said im better than knee deep shit. being better than ankle deep shit is next! gotta step up the game. but for cereal, woman, i know im the best thing you see all day whenever you see me! and also, i outweigh you by 60lbs. so thats all i have to say about lifting 100lbs more.

snap- planning on putting weight on the bar. will have your e-voice in my head, meet day. yours among others. it’ll be crowded in there for sure. smile was the first thing you noticed? you start watching halfway through? ;-p

owlie- if i dont, im blaming you. and your fucking frying pan. i’ll beat you with it.

n- come and get me, bitch. im jealous of me too whenever i hafta train at the local.


training tonight-

was light stuff. pegg keeps tryin to make me walk on the treadmill at the local.

so tonight i threw a couple home gym plates in my ancient Eastpack book bag/school bag/backpack that i use for the gym, with all my gym shit in it, and took the dog for a walk.

good thing is, i spent the money for new earbuds and had music to listen to. whyd i have to spring for new ones? bc my dog chewed up the last two pairs. these are going to be wrapped and put up after every use, no excuses.

anyhoo, i brought water for the two of us, a bowl for doggy, and we walked a mile like that. did some obedience stuff with him bc he’s spoiled, and i kept remembering to keep my chest up and my shoulders back/tight.

1 mile. next time, two!

I love walking. Good for you! Better than being tied to a machine.

Can’t wait to get a dog so I have a reason to go out walking more!

Nice. Often it looks different than it felt but 300 was there and 315 is right around the corner. Wait until until you do it in a meet A whole different experience. Keep it up.

Nice pull Bear! I’m sad I’m going to miss out on seeing you pull 300+ at the meet.
