I agree with the big boys - I’d much rather you LWI and fuel yourself but I understand the competitive drive. Only now you aren’t making it me vs me so much. Remember that if you find yourself frustrated by the outcome, and not finding the fun anymore.
I don’t want to sound negative so go ahead and prove me wrong. :)[/quote]
See, I just go in circles over this in my head. Losing the weight isn’t to be more competitive with girls. If I was doing that, I’d focus on staying in the 148 class and aiming for the weights those girls lifted. But I just don’t think that’s realistic, or healthy, or a way that will motivate me to train. Opening with the weights I bombed on though? That’s motivation.
So, ugh. I don’t know, basically. This log keeps coming back to weight, no matter how hard I try not to (I SWEAR), and I’m not super focused on it, though it seems quite the opposite.
And I’d rather honest negativity than lies that sound pretty. Thanks.
I use L O L way too much, espescially on here, I seem to end too many of my posts with lol, but If I was speaking I would end my sentence with a little laugh…out loud? I guess out loud would make you think Im laughing really hard but im not, ehhh i dont know lol.
but WTF is a ttyl? hold up is WTF ok?
Shit Lula its your log, you do with it as you wish and if weight at times is a concern to you and you consider cutting (whoops didnt mean to say that) then thats part of what your log is for. We will still be reading along. I say fuck it and eat a burger though L…I stopped myself!
Now the white Nike thing, that could be a scary one, didnt some cult of the Hale Bopp Comet all off themselves wearing white nikes, Heavens Gate right?

Here’s a video of the front squats. I noticed my left heel is starting to pop up, which I never noticed before. Also, probably wouldn’t hurt to keep my elbows up a bit more? The main interest of the video, however, is that, as luck would have it, my gym crush makes an appearance in the background. He has THE prettiest front squats. swoon[/quote]
Great form on the fronts! Nice depth. Good push out of the pocket.

And ha!..IMO FWIW OMG POIDH…I just turned a guy down for a date because he used LOL and TTYL in the same text. Mebbe I need to relax my standards.

Haha, I think that standard is perfectly acceptable.
You should have a survivor type show where 15 studs compete in a series of mental and physical challenges to win a date with you.

really? I would shoot myself before I’d text a smiley face to someone.
Also lula - what’s your username about? I had cholula hot sauce the other night and it reminded me of your name… combined with the fact your log title is about sauce.

YEAH I get this! This is part of the reason I was totally chicken shit and decided not to compete. I AM TOO COMPETITIVE, ha-ha. I only wanted to compete with myself because otherwise you do get caught up in weight class mish mash. If I had a goal to lift a 280lb deadlift and i reached that goal, but saw some chick who weighed ten lbs less than me lift 10lbs more than me I would be mad at myself when I should have been over the moon.
I am crazy though, don’t be like me, ha-ha. Maybe if I am more confident within myself I could potentially compete in the future.
Now I totally hijacked your log with my own ramblings.
I think whatever you decide to do you’ll do it awesomely. I’m flippin’ excited to see how strong you’re gonna get now that you’ve been bitten by the PL meet bug!!
Matty: Thanks for talking some sense. Diet talk in here? OVER. And I somehow love your lols, so don’t worry about it. I think I’ll go Kimba style with the weekend treat and get a good burger. nomnomnom
Demo man: Oh my, digging into the old videos! Thank you!
SCJ: OMG, I would love to be on that kind of show. Unfortunately I think ABCs got that on lockdown, but if we could form our own i’m totally down. And when I created my account on here I was on a total Cholula kick, so it is after the sauce (and the lula was some girl from a book I was reading who totally kicked ass and it kind of flowed so…). As for the log title, it’s from a G-love song. Not a lot of thought, just sauce…sauce…you know.
edit: oh and look at that, I couldn’t even get the 's in my title right. shoot.
Spock: I might be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane. right? and I’m flippin’ excited too, thanks!
Today: Not feeling great. This just about killed me.
Burpee and KB swing superset? Sounds hideous!
And I’ve heard that song in my gym. I don’t hate it and the sentiment is a good one when you’re trying to heave a big weight over your head.

I’m with Maschy (hopefully forever and always) I text just like I post on here. Lol’s, ttyls and :). I never even considered it would be an issue for anyone…

Sounds like you know what you want to do. Get there and THEN figure out the weight thing? (I almost wrote issue, but I know you never put weight and issue beside each other) LO… . I mean WTF.
It’s been so long since I’ve been over this way. Just caught up with your meet. YAY! You did great! And first time out of the box! I can’t recall, what state are you and UP in?
And let me say, the squat vid you posted about a month ago was gorgeous. You’re taking to it like a fish to water. I’m just thrilled for ya.
Re diet and training–I say go after whatever you want. My word of the year is possibility–you won’t know unless you try. Believe . Commit.
Also, I’ve got your back on the text abbreviation stuff. Outside of LOL I didn’t even know what the others meant. Yes, I am that old.
Of course, I don’t mind other’s use of those devices, but they don’t work for me. I also refuse to make smiley faces out of punctuation marks. I would rather be misunderstood.
Puff-Thanks for stopping in! I’ve missed seeing you around here more often. I saw this great picture of a ballerina the other day and wondered how your training has been going. So, how goes it?
Nadia-Possibilities, that’s a great word, and you are a prime example of living to test and surpass them. On the emoticon front, man am I guilty of that. I find it almost physically impossible not to add in a or :D. I’ve tried. Oh well, we all need our vices, aye?
HARA-You don’t strike me as an LOL guy. Ever since the picture with the cigar, I can’t help but imagine you winking and calling me ‘sweethaaat,’ in a cute little NY accent (and you smell musky. not that i’ve spent time thinking this over).
**Everything today felt hard today but the presses, which felt stronger than they have in a really long time. Pull ups though? Those were rough.
**Got a little buck wild this weekend and squatted with a safety bar, pulled 275, lifted some stones, and did some prowler sprints. Days later, my hamstrings are still sore. I’m not complaining.
**I’ve just been OFF lately. I’ve been having an increasing number of waves of this feeling I can’t quite put my finger on. And when I try to, it sounds just a little too dramatic to put to text.
**Also, I felt humongous at the gym today. I don’t want a lecture about the fact that lifting takes muscle, I know. But I still felt like a freak show and wasn’t in the mood to be one today.
and this song has been stuck in my head for like, a week. like one of the commenters on youtube says, 'if you’re high on weed when you hear this song, thumbs up."
