WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
way to go DEADSZOS!!!
oh! and i just caught up on the missing/fail stuff.
I miss/fail ALL THE DAMN TIME. Just happens! Means youāre pushing yourselfā¦or a deer sneezed in a field and set a butterfly flying. no reasons!
also : youāve got some serious numbers!!! way to fucking go!!!
A 2xBW pull is severely legit regardless of any other factors.
Nice. Freaking. Work. Little Alberta girl 
Congrats on the dl pr. And shoot at your size your bench is fucking strong too. I often miss the first time I go after a new weight. I think itās a head thingālike dipping your toes in the water before you dive in. Betcha you will get it next time.
Thanks print! ( I feel like I am always just sayinā āThanks printā and youāre always just sayinā āThanks spock!ā in each of our logs, ha-ha.
arachne: WHyy thank ya!! But I am totally jealous of your nice stomach so I think weāre even, heh.
Masch: HA, cool! Iāve always wanted to chest bump someone. I REALLLY wished there was someone to high five in that post lifting moment. I was down in that little weight room alllll by myself!
Lula: I would love to do videos but A) no one to film me and I donāt really think thereās a good place to set a camera up really, how does everyone else do it? B) I āknowā pretty much everyone that works out there (I used to work there) and I would feel really awkward if people saw me filming myself. LIKE OH LOOK, JENN (me) is obsessed with herself, or somethingā¦ Iām mental.
Thanks DF! See, this is why I nominated you best for adding random pictures into threads person.!
Hallowed: YEAHH i told ya deadliftinā was king, ha! if there is one godamn thing I am confident doinā itās pickin up heavy shit and then settinā it back down!
Herc: YOU should take another beginner course! Itās such a beautiful language, I feel very lucky that this whole community entered my life. Iād feel so dead without ASL.
pixie: I KNoW i get insane when I miss lifts, my brain erases bascially my entire workout and I feel like I did nothing. haha, I really need to figure out how to handle these things more rationally. Must remain patient!
Charlie ho: YAHH HELLO! WElcome to my log. Now get out of here and start posting in your log, ha!
lil power: YEP, i really think so. My head didnāt feel like it was going to explode or nothinā. I left having no doubt that I could pull more. WHICH i prefer over feeling like I got the crap kicked outta me. I dunno, part of the whole never chase fatigue, chase performance, mantra I keep reading about. FELT GOOD ANYWAY!
Brute: You rock my socks, man! Thanks for stoppinā by!
Frozenkilt: SO WHERE YA FROM? Alberta rocks! (not really)ā¦
Nadia: Bench has always been a mental thing for me. I feel like itās the only lift where my insecurities play a MAJOR role. Other stuff I feel like I can struggle through to complete the lift, bench is like OH WHOOPS! Set off SLIGHTLY off and bam! No lift!

Get over it and work on tuning everybody else out. Video is truly the best training tool in a sport where form is so important.
OKAY WHEWF:
I think my post-deadlifting high finally wore off (though my soreness hasnāt really, ha)
Military press
5/3/1
60 x 5
65 x 3
70 x 4
All good, then I decided to do a shit load of volume so I can happily go into deload week and make up for my bench day, LOL.
75 x 2
70 x 4
65 x 4
60 x 7
55 x 12
Few pull ups inbetween sets
OHH this rest pause thingie I did for lat raise. PUKE INDUCING, WOOAHH. I think i did about 50 reps and then waited a bit and did a rest pause thingie for front raise. Light weight, but tough shit.
NG db presses felt dumb, so I decided to do NG one arm dumb bell presses, which felt awesome.
I forgot how much i loved those.
Worked up to 30lbs and RIGHT ARM got 6 but STUPID LEFTY got 4 so I had to wait and then add extra ones to the WEAK side. YES LEFT, YOU HEARD ME. I KNOW YOU ARE LACKING!!!
Anyway uhh OH seated facepull thingies so I donāt get so pulled toward the weight stack. I like theseā¦
Few more pull ups
DONE AND DONE.
Letās allll work together and help me keep my sanity during deload week so I can have a healthy perspective on the world and exercise/recovery, mmkayy?
Ta ta for now!
From? Like originally? The (not so) almighty Dead Rear.
Now? E-town.
You can come watch us throw at Ft. Ed in July
Anything supercalifragga planned for Deload?
.
I know Iām a little late, but 2x BW. Fucking awesome spocky

x2^
Spock that is perfect, you know them well and they know you. That makes it easy, all you have to do is ask someone to film you and tell them why. Just tell them you are powerlifting and you are filming your lifts to work on an technique flaws so you can continue to improve. Then tell them that works best because you can pause it and stop it and etc.
If no one will or can film it for you, just use a bench or movable stool or something like that which most gyms generally carry.
Another congratulations on your 2xbw deadlift. Iām a long way off that. Keep on rollinā.
I always manage to find somewhere to prop my camera without asking anyone.
OKAY OKAY I will try to figure out this vid mish mash (nothing fun to see during deload though, heh).
I donāt think I have ever seen anyone film themselves at my gym before in the history of my patronage. All the serious lifters have serious lifter friends and everyone else is just an old dude doing the lat pull down wrong.
WHY CANāt I HAVE ONE OOOOOOOONNNEEEE friend who lifts?!
Okay end/pity party.
I think deloading makes me grumpy, but iām soilderinā on. Itās weird how my body AND my mind just KNOW itās time to recover. Iām hungry as hell, sleeping wayy too much, and I have no motivation. Classic signs of a deload for me.
Anyway hereās my saturday workout
Deload squat
105 x 5
105 x 5
105 x 5
95 x 8
front squats
65 x 8
65 x 8
65 x 8
uhh 4 sets on the leg press, some leg extensions, back extensions, yaddda yadda.
Then I did a couple things for my biceps so i could get them out of the way for the week. Training biceps is insanely boring. I donāt know how the meat heads can enjoy it so much.
I realized I really like walking and I wish i never had to feel guitly about not doing conditioning work, but Jim Wendler says stay NORTH OF THE VAG! Which means I need to suck it up and do something hard sometimes. Damn him for being so coolā¦
ALSO, bored with core stuff. Adding in weighted crunches to the mix, but this is getting stale and I hate always having to resort to girly magazine core strengthing type things when I want to be strong like bull. CORE=IMPORTANT FOR SQUATTING. !
OK BYE
OHH YEAH I FORGOT TO ADD I am so excited about something
Well I asked my kid to be my valentine and he told me he was going to make the prettiest card ever for me. I told him I was going to make him a fancy card too, and weāre going to go on a mini golf date. Then I asked what romantic gift he was going to buy me and we started talking about flowers and roses and I told him i could get him a rose, but he was all worried that he had no vase.
ANYWAY
We always say we love each other times X mount number of T- rex (ha) So i ordered him a rose ina vase online to send to him for a day when he is going to be staying with my parents and I put on the card āI love you times 5 million t-rexā
I canāt wait until he gets it. I have never been excited for the big V day in my life, HAHA.
OK BYE AGAIN
Have you ever tried the paloff press, Spock? I love it cause itās a quick and easy way to work the core and you can see results of getting stronger as you add weight. Itās really shown me how much stabilization the core is SUPPOSED to do.
Yay Valentines Day excitement! Glad youāre looking forward to it this year
Congrats on the 2x DLās!
And for having someone for V-Day.
Enjoy the day with you boy!

So sweet I just got a cavity!! Good to hear, Spock! Reading this post literally made my day!
Spock, congrats on the BWx2 deadlift! That is my lifetime goalā¦
Nobody except me films themselves in my gym either. I get asked about it all the time. When you explain that you are checking your form on the lifts, pretty much everybody understands that. Practically, its easier to set up a camera and film yourself when you have a little tripod. I use a gorillapod and it works awesome:
