My Baby Got Sauce

Training
601

Time’s a’ticking then Snap. Better go climb sky scrapers…or whatever it is Tim McGraw said to do.

…and Kouba-dude…by FAR the worst offense of the “no offense but…” ever. ever. :stuck_out_tongue:

Military Pressing:

Warm up:
barx5
65x5
70x3
80x5
85x3
90x3.5 (+2 push pressing because I was irritated with the .5)

SS with pull ups: 10, 7, 3

Accessory:
DB Press
Plate raise
Defranco’s shoulders
ER

UEB: 4 mins tabata style

**Tried a false grip with the MPs and am not sure I noticed a difference??
**Seems to be a direct correlation between how much I sleep and how much my back/sciatic thing hurts. Sucks, but at least not I know the instigator.

602

Nice press! I think I just might have the weakest press out of all the women here haha

I use a false grip and notice a ton of difference in power.

603

What’s UEB?

Also check yo’ PM inbox.

Edit: I MP with false grip, didn’t feel different at first but now I wouldn’t go back. Easier to get my forearm/wrist/elbow directly under the bar.

604

I just wanted to know what he was smoking. lol

Great pressing though. A little hip thrusting never hurt anyone.

605

Hmmmm, I would love to see your hand placement with the false grip, possibly the bar was too far back on your hands and not your wrists? Imagine lifting the bar with your wrists so that the bar is being pushed up with your wrists and not the palm of your hands, very similar to the correct hand placement on a flat bench wherein you shouldn’t let the bar fall back on your palms.

No problem homey!

Dani-you win sexiest in a singlet, so it all evens out.

SCJ-That’s my bad, should be UBE, upper body ergometer…arm bike. It hurts, and makes me feel huge. THANKS FOR THE PM. The only complaint I have is that I see lots of text text text and not the nekkids like I asked for. Please see to correct this. (And I’m totally google-mapping chinese buffets near the venue).

Kouba-thanks! :smiley:

Matty: I haven’t given up on it yet. I’ll try again next week, and I’ll do a video. Thanks for the advice…I probably need to listen to that for bench too.

Hallowed-thanks hotstuff

609

Happy New Year Lula - nice pressing :slight_smile:

Why are you advising this if Cholulalula’s goal is a max effort at a powerlifting meet? The upper body is stronger in the arched, decline position.

Because I want her to be able to walk w/o a cane when she’s 80. Or even 50.

Jeffrey, check out this link (hopefully it works). I see your point, and trust me, I’m overly paranoid about making sure I’ll be healthy and ambulatory when I’m 80 and beyond, but I think arching the right way (thru the upper back) is safe.

He’s right - he does need to find a better word than “arch”.

the pic on the right - w/ the red x - is what 99% of people mean when the say “arch your back”; the pic on the right - “the right way to arch” - isn’t arching. Like I said, squeeze the shoulder blades together; I see now we meant the same thing but w/ different words. (I have seen the pic on the right form on this site from various people, and everyone is like “way to go, killin it!” /facepalm.)

damn… I need something for my fucked up back. lol

613

Regarding those pics, they’re pretty bad examples. You can’t even see the positioning of the person pictured in the “correct” way to arch. And as far as the “incorrect” way to arch, it’s illegal in competitive powerlifting since the ass isn’t even on the bench. So it’s a ridiculous example.

I can guarantee you that lifters are far more likely to trash their backs by deadlifting than by arching in the bench.

614

Hey lula!! I can’t remember if you confirmed if you were going to be doing a PL meet at the end of the month or not, but…if you’re doing the one that’s tristate I’ll come cheer you on!

Let me know, mama! Keep up the great work.

615

Masch-I did sign up for the meet (more on that later) …unfortunately I’m not in your area :frowning: If you feel like traveling though, you’d have a place to stay, creepy roommate who stares just a little too long at your ass included! Plus, it’s beautiful here this time of year if cold, brown, and scenery that looks dead is your thing!

**I neeeeeed to train with people. And get a coach. No more being an asshole.
*Did accessory at the school gym (whilst licking my wounds) and it was crowded as hell, so I barely got anything done except get eye raped. No treadmills free and too dark to run my hill in the hood. Meh.

616

How come you just glossed over your PR? CONGRATS good on you! Come on homey, shes a national fucking champ (or were you being sarcastic) Your fucking ready! Your being waaaay to hard on yourself. If I get a 10lb PR next time I pull Im gonna pat myself on the back like a motherfucker (im not sure if they do this but you get my point)

It happens to me, I see people on this site half my size and age doing incredible weight and I say to myself what a fucking weak fuck I am, but its your journey no one elses…and you aint weak you ARE strong! I just dropped a shit ton of F bombs, my bad

LOL @ eye rape, at least it wasn’t a skull fucking :wink:

617

Word of advice… you are NEVER gonna feel fully ready to compete the first time. I was waiting on my squat to get higher, because it is complete newb shit compared to my deadlift. But once you hit that first squat at the meet, you realize everyone is on the same page, rooting for you/with you… it’s a really fun experience.

Also, thanks for not telling anyone about the nudes I sent you

618

Congrats on that DL pr! And look at you all fired up and sure of what you want. I remember, not long ago, you weren’t sure what direction you wanted to take your training in. Congrats on taking that step and signing up for the meet. You’ll do great!

I’ve said it before, I just don’t think the English language is descriptive enough for lifting.

And you are strong, everything is relative, shit I feel weak looking at your perfect form at the weight you are with your lifts.

Oh and Happys News Years!

nice work on the deadlifts - and we’ve said this a hundred times but the PL sport is mainly to compete against yourself and track your progress. And you don’t become champion overnight either.
