OH YA. I think volume is misleading. Like, deadlifting 6 sets of 5 @185 made me think WOWWWW, my max must be way higher than this! LIES>! VOLUME VOLUME VOLUME DOES NOT = SUPA HIGH MAX. My max is barely higher than my volume weight!!

I normally only visit your log to find out if you’ve gotten laid yet (it’s a fascinating sub-plot to the lifting, or maybe the other way around) but I noticed this. I have found from training with women in the past that they can typically perform numerous reps with weights very close to their max, much higher than blokes can.
So you’re totally normal, but yeah - those 1RM calculators will be junk for you!

Front squats are awesome. Maybe not as applicable for somebody training for a PLing meet, but still awesome. Single leg shit can go to hell (unless you’re broke and trying to fix something).
Spock-o-licious…it’s been awhile since I dropped in to see what’s what. Damn…there’s plots and subplots and cliffhangers and training.
Oh, on the “I want to write a program for you” thing. He writes those in the back room, right? With his shirt off? See where this is going? Heat things up in there (but not too hot), tell him he’s taking you out that night, put your cutest underwear on before going out and have some fun.
I am not used to DL-ing heavy I think. Or using my belt. I almost felt weaker when I added the belt, but I think I need to get used to it again or something.

I have the same issue. Cannot figure out how to properly deadlift with a belt for the life of me. Each time I try, I’ll deadlift with a belt for a month or two and just seem to get shittier at deadlifting for that time, then I just decide to save the belt for squats. This has happened 3 times.[/quote]
HMM< i wonder what I should do to fix this? My belt kidna feels like it’s in the way or something…[/quote]
Have you tried turning it around so the buckle is in back? That’s what I do for conventional pulls and rows.

Oh my!! I think you are mistaking me for someone with confidence, Lol.!! Glad you came by my log again

What?! Really? You can do that?! Hmm, must try this…
Felt pretty good today considering THE BIG PILE OF NO SLEEP I GOT LAST NIGHT…!
ANd here, I’ll explain why since I am so open and honest about everything. Maybe that’s cause I never have to look any of you in the face, Lol!
K SO last night finished watching THe Dark Knight around 10:30. Which was just truly phenominal (SP?) phenominal phenominal, ya. I like the Joker’s clothes. I find them quite sexy indeed.
Anyway so then I go to bed and it was like so hot and I was just lying there and I was just dying from the whole non-masturbation clause i forced upon myself. DYINGGG DYING LYING LYING SWEATY UNCOMFORTABLE.
SO then it was 12:00 and i was like FUCK IT!! If I had just gotten off today I’d be alseep by nOW. And i figured it would only take 5 mins so then I got my vibrator, lOL.
Weird how this is a part of my workout log but I have no girlfriends so I need to complain to someone.
MKAY SO it was just so awesome and then BAM MY VIB. DIED.
DIEDDDDDDDD
I cried, SRSLY. I was like nonononononoonono crycrysob
So at this point I bascially just wanted to fucking kill someone. Had to go the ol’ manual route and it was just so frustrating and awful and ya. I think I feel alseep by maybe 2…
LIFESUCKS
Excited about how awesome my workouts are/are going to be with this carb backloading shizz though.
Life news:
Um, I am on level 5 in plants VS zombies now. I am on the roof!!! Zee zombies are on my roof and zhey are coming for my brainzzzzz.
I think I am going to do shit like rep maxes/speed work/volume work then start back at rep maxes etc…
Sounds fun anyway. So tomorrow I think I’ll volumize my squat for a bit. MMhMMM
Life news:
Realization time
I like me. I’d do me. If I were a guy I would totally love to pound the crap outta me with my man parts… Uh ya.
SOOOO if gym boy does not want to that is fine. Maybe it’s not me. Maybe it’s not like OH EWW she is UNfuckable. Maybe it’s just something to do with him for whatever reason. He does not get to chose my fuckability.

Anyone else getting flashbacks to Silence of the Lambs?
Maybe you should come down the highway for a visit. You’ll feel better, I think. Don’t need you running around kidnapping young men to make a Spock sized man suit.
SPOCK! Hai. As for the belt/DL, Sam Byrd told me to try wearing it higher on the abdomen, i.e. slightly above where it would sit if you put it just around your low back. It works a lot better for me anytime I pull, but I bring it lower again to squat or do yoke stuff.
Something to try at least, if turning it around doesn’t work.

SOoOoO happy with my form today. Only one crumbly knee cavey set that I decided not to count, ha. Even my max singles were bang on. TIGHT. ANNDD My belt didn’t make things worse for a change, yippie! Once again excited about my squat potential.

HOLIFUCKOOOLI, I beat adventure mode in plants VS zombies and my kid went totally ballasic. He was like hitting me and running around the house hyperventialting/trying to talk about all the shit I just unlocked.
MOMMYYYY!!! YOU UNLOCKED SURVIVIAL MODE!!! AAEEEEE!
I felt so good about myself. He kept complimenting my skillz. “Ohhh, wow, putting the melon-pult there. NICE MOVES!!” All this totally makes up for sucking hardcore when I used to play with my brother and his friends. They made me feel like shit, heh.
