get better soon!
can’t belive you did 100lbs facepulls after complaining about excrutiating back pain you crazy woman.
Do you compete against Rheta? She said she was good for 340ish - ridiculous.
Hope the back gets better…
you love them face pulls doncha? wow…
Ditto! Hopefully it is just a tweak and dehydration, nothing serious.
Impressive lifting nonetheless.
Back is much better and I’m toting around a water jug now.
Bobbi, haven’t done a meet yet with Rheta, so far we lift in different feds, but would love to do a meet with her. Rheta’s got a lot of experience with gear and I’ll be chasing her numbers for quite some time.
Today I experienced what the “bloat” and tight gear mean…I couldn’t touch the box with what I could last week.

My son Mitch is kicking my butt now…he hit 190 with dbl minis off the 2 board! His form is really looking good.
What’s your sons stats? Has he competed yet?
200 reps of anything is plain nutters. But thats why you are ahead of the pack; doing what others won’t.
Hmm, that reminds me of the 1000 BW squats I used to do. Ah, the comments that got.
What do the high rep pressdowns do for you Power? Does it make the triceps pwetty? Lol
I’m trying to bring out my triceps a little more since I think that my biceps overshadow them so maybe trying some high reps like that will help.
Bobbi - his first meet he weighed in at 138, 325/190/405.
Nlmain - thank you!
Nikki - more for tricep extensor work, but I would think hypertrophy would fit in there well too.

Training partners convinced me to stay in the 165’s for my meet in March. If I lost 10 lbs then my gear might not fit right. To send away and get taken in, may or may not get it back in time. So, instead of playing with too many variables, just stick with what I’m doing now.
At that’s one less thing I get to stress about now…hurray !!!
For some reason I thought your son was in his 20s, no?
And since you’re staying in the 165s are you going to back off the cardio or are you just going to be a really light 165er?
I’m glad that you’re staying in your current weight class, I can imagine that it was stressful to do your workouts and have to worry about shedding some pounds for a competition only a couple months away.
Hopefully the diet wasn’t hard on your strength. Your numbers are always amazing though, so I can’t tell anyway.
Oh, tomorrow I train arms. I’ll implement that tricep death set in there 
training is looking very solid Glad to hear you know where you stand for your comp. now…must be a load off your mind for sure!
Thanks Nikki - strength is still good, hope your triceps don’t die on you
Coyotegal - not having to lose the weight is a big stressor off me, now I can concentrate on killing those weights!

I’ll try to get the vid of my squats up today too. I’m getting more comfortable in the suit now, so I’m not searching for the box so much.
Way for pushing through on the Rackpulls
and squats with chains are incredibly sexy
love it.
And I love the dancey thing you do with your feet. I know your just getting adjusted but it’s cute. I think Snap does that too…
