Then I did this cool press thingie with this bar that puts your hands in the NG position. I don’t know what it’s called. But it kinda mimic’s a log press (in my mind anyway) so I did that for 4 sets and it was fun.

Rope tri extension 4 sets, lat pull down 4 sets, dips 4, 4, 4.

DONNNEEE Dunno what I’m doin’ tomorrow. Maybe try some heavy carry type shit. Maybe some ab type shit. Maybe some resty type shit. FEELING GOOD THOUGH MAN.
Going to start eating more BEEF and attempt to gain a few pounds. I feel too skinny. DO NOT LIKE.

Life news:
um nothing really. At the gym today some guy said “you must be a wrestler”. Thought that was random, yet kinda sweet.

BYE LOVELY PEOPLE

222


^I can see that.

223

I think you look awesome and you should be very proud of what you have accomplished.

And tt sucks that your luck with men has been so poor. There are good ones so don’t give up.

And if there is some interest in seeing if you can restart your feelings below the waist I would vote for tossing the old vibe, since it has some bad mojo attached, and maybe getting a new one. But, what do I know about such things? Nothing really. Maybe doing nothing about it is the best course of action. Let nature, and the right guy, take care of it.

224

You are fucking Hot.

WE (Vixens/PowerfulWomen) are not everyone’s flavor.

Thats okay, cuz they’re not ours either.

x2 million!

226

I don’t have a car or a prowler either. Live in London - owning a car here is costly and the public transport is good enough that I don’t need one. As for the prowler, living in a teeny flat makes that out of the question. Lack of fitness friends too. Eh…never mind.

Good job on the benching and stuff. And I’d be pleased if someone thought I was a wrestler. I think they just think I’m a scary beast at my gym.

227

Lookin really good there spock.

So um yeah, i lost my train of thought for a second there admiring that nice picture on the other page. Such a strong beautiful pose. I will say i liked the first picture from over the summer and i like this one too. Looking good all around.

Regarding the sled, is there any way to loop the rope around the sled somewhere to shorten the rope a little. If the rope is detachable you could bring your own shorter rope if you have something else that would work. Another thing, i’m sure you have a belt somewhere. You could loop the rope though the belt, that would be at least a little bit more comfortable. Appoximately how long is the track you have to use?

228

Hellz yeah on the squat and bench Pr Spock :slight_smile:

229

Ima wrestler…

You should be my ring valet.

230

Spock-

takes your hand gently in my lap<<

I have to tell you something, and I want you to listen. really, really listen.

You are a fucking hottie.

It’s time to walking with a fucking swagger.

mwah.

231

^^^^ This.

And remember, guys your age are DUM. Like REALLY dum.

232

Thanks for the compliments everyone :slight_smile: !
I am very happy to have been able to participate in the T-vixen V-day extravaganza! It was well worth the being slightly chilly picture taking attempts I had to endure…

Lifting news:
random day of conditioning, etc…

I dragged the prowler with the rope thingy (AND HERC, thanks! I knotted the rope up so it wasn’t too long for me anymore, yay) then I pushed the prowler, then I dragged it some more (felt like a horse) then I pushed it some more. Then I walked up some stairs holding a plate, then I dragged the prowler walking backwards a bit. That felt very nice and quady. Umm walked with some kettlebells up some more stairs yadda yadda.

EXCITING PART:

Weighted chin ups, YAhH!! I attached that ol’ belt thingy to my waste and put two tens on there. soo 3 chin ups + 20lbs, then 3 more chin ups, and then 2. Felt very awesome-sauce.

Standing pull down ab thing. First time trying this and it went pretty well. I think I was using my core properly, but I will have to start doing it a bit more to really get the hang of it. Super setted that with hanging leg raises and called it a day.

Life news:
Will maybe post pics later of my mini golf date with child.
Last night second and FINAL class presentation went SO EFFING AMAZING, AHH! My name got selected first and I OWNED it. Stayed connected with my mind and really focused. When class was over this girl walked up to me and said “I think you are going to be the most AMAZING interpreter”. Wow, I coulda hugged the crap outta her.
Anyway, life is very FUCK YEAH right now. No other way to describe it.

OK TTYL deadlifts tomorrow!

233


Wtd chins equal aphrodisiac &…

awesome, jennalicous~

as well it should be~

235

Well, doesn’t this log just make me feel good :slight_smile:

Smash some DLs.

236

Nice work spock. Way to own the presentation, it’s always awesome when someone confirms all the hard work you’ve done. Where dem videos of all these PRs you been getting?

237

Dear Spockster,

I have uploaded interesting videos of Africa land for your viewing pleasure.

Also, weighted pull ups are on my list of desireable activities for a future Mrs. Texican. As well as strongman activities!! We have a whole yard full of fun stuff at the gym back home! Keep up the awesome work. DEADLIFTS! GET SOME!!!

:slight_smile:

238

Okay well I took the camera to the gym today and when I got home I realized two things: the camera needed to be placed up way higher (perhaps set it up on a few plates or something) annddd my hips need to be down way lower/my back rounds.

I dunno, it’s weird. I feel strong and comfortable, but it doesn’t look right. I don’t think I have ever had proper deadlift form in my entire life, yet I can deadlift the shit out of everything. I got a video of my 240lb pull today, but I don’t think anyone wants to see them epic bad form-ness…

anyway, I still killed my workout despite realizing I might be doing it wrong, LOl.

deadlift 3x3

150 x 3
175 x 3
195 x 7 ← I wanted 7 and I got 7 dammit! That’s what I said after my 6th rep, ha.

tried for a couple singles
230 x 1
240 x 1 (it’s really 242 cause it’s in kilo’s, but whatevaa)

150 x 11

RDL’s
100 x 10
120 x 8
120 x 9

um 5 sets leg press

good mornings, finally was in front of the mirror and my form was A-okAY, so I added some weight
65 x 8
75 x 8
85 x 8
95 x 9

5 sets lying leg curls

DONE.

I was so happy with this until I watched my videos and then I was like, UHH, well, so, was it an accomplishment because I struggled and pushed myself the entire time? DId I build strength even though there was flaw in my form? I know it’s a good thing, but it’s still kinda a disappointment for me.
Everyone’s told me 5 million different ways to go about things, I have no idea who to listen to anymore! Hips up, hips down, chest out, neck down, neck up slightly, AHHhHH. Can’t I just fucking pick it up? Would a fast pull with a rounded back still count in a meet?

OMG semi negative/insecure log post made by MOI. I do apologize…

Life news:

Mini golf way kind of boring, but the arcade was SUPA FUN!! I can now understand how people can become addicted to gambling.

OK BYE

  1. Yes a fast pull with a rounded back would still count in a meet.
  2. No, that isn’t a good idea.
  3. Hips down, head up slightly.
  4. Don’t think about lifting the bar, think about pushing the planet down with your legs.
  5. Do NOT be unhappy with PRs. Ever.
  6. Post the damn videos so we can dissect it. It probably isn’t as bad as you think.
  7. Nice work pulling 110kg :slight_smile:
