My Baby Got Sauce

I fucking love Saturday training:

Don’t remember the specifics, here’s the general gist:

Bench-worked up to a few singles of 160# (+15# PR, um)

DLs-bunch of 225 singles (working on speed and not passing out)

Rope pulls/Prowler push (weight=? lots of 45s, that’s all I know) Holy. SHIT. this is awesome and hard and my newest favorite thing.

Stones-170# for some…tweeked my back on my last one, boo.

Did I mention I love Saturdays?

Sitting on ice and studying my face off the rest of the night. Just me, here, living the D.R.E.A.M.

print-nerdy i can totally do. i’ve spent a good portion of today learning about assessment tools for the pediatric-neurologically impaired patient. Shall we start there?

Spock-Don’t feel bad about it; i figure we’ve spent our entire lives trying to suck in our stomachs, it’s really difficult to go against that.

Pixie-It’s more of a party trick that gets me free drinks than an annoyance. My MD did offer me beta blockers for it though, ha! thanks…nothanks.

brute-Raynaud’s sistas UNITE! The best part is there is an entire support group for people with Raynaud’s…they call themselves the “Frosties,” which I find HILARIOUS. I think we should really use this to our advantage and start selling white wrist bands Lance Armstrong style. What…you have cancer? Yea, well WE’RE COLD. I’ll go set up a paypal account.

Matty-I really like how you don’t mince words. Brochata reminds me of Rumchata, one of my old loves. sigh sometimes I wish the quest for a banging bod didn’t require such sacrifice. :wink:

Kairiki-Thanks for stopping in, the kind words, and for the video (triple threat!), i appreciate it!

Clean-Thanks to you too for stopping in. Welcome to the frosty gang. I wouldn’t say precocious, just one of the cool kids.

Yonkey-It’s not fun, it’s a serious epidemic that is plagues at least 4 females on the forum ALONE. Please direct yourself to the link below and you will be forwarded to our Paypal account where you can support the Frosties. Your donation is appreciated.

At this very moment, my phone says it is 23 degrees out. So you can go ahead and bite me.

Hallowed-When do logs close up? I can’t figure it out…I feel like I’ve been living with this impending doom looming over me. Vegas isn’t for a few weeks still, PM on the way!

Like. 45 pages I think! Almost there! This is your first log right? Kinda cool!

Awesome work Lula. Glad you are liking the place. Gratz on the PR! Here is a celebration song.

love how you gloss over a few singles of that 160 PR(s) fucking awesome.

160 bench? Lolwut?! You are seriously strong! Nice work and congrats on the PR.

I think Saturday training loves you too!!

solid strong Bench. damn

You had me at ‘tools.’

I’m w/Matty on glossing over a 15 lb pr. That’s good work Slappy. & even better job keeping your nose to the grindstone on a Sat. night.

Holy shit man, you’re getting super strong, super fast!

It’s gettin’ exciting up in here…!

Lula: Holy fuck on that bench PR!

WHOA!!! BENCH!!!

STONES!!!
Vagas did you well My Frostie Friend! WOW!!!

Another PR YOU ARE ON FIRE!!!

Woo bench PR! Awesome work, lula!

nice work on that bench
your prowler pull /push sounds awesome
and stones!
I am coveting your gym

Raynaud’s does sound not so fun
neither do your assesment classwork-

you asked how I switched from sports med chiropractic student?

balancing college sports and lab work got too crazy
took a massage license moved back to nyc

dragged a massage table up 6 flights of stairs for old geezers to
ask for ‘extras’ after the massage
gross.
working on dancers- who hooked me up with gigs in theater or TV
not so gross
went back to college for TV/theater production
meh
confused - me too.

Increased bench PR by 15#?? Is it ok if I kind of resent you right now? mutter mutter. No, really GREAT WORK!

lula, you are doing SO AWESOME! You must feel great that you are smashing PRs with conviction.

Awesome lifting! congrats on PR!

Thanks everyone for the PR love! I think this one can be categorized under ‘beginner gains.’

Don’t get me wrong though, I was (and still am) super excited. I guess I’ll just need to start using more !!! to appease Matty and Print. My little back tweak doing stones has left me in worse shape than expected. I was naively planning on skipping deload week, but until I can sleep through the night and bend over without toppling over, I don’t think I have any right to be throwing weight on my back. It’s times like these that I worry I’m actually doing damage to my body…as much as I love doing this, I think I’m going to really love going whale watching on an Alaskan cruise when I’m 80 too. I don’t know.

Easy breezy circuit today-
20x4
banded squats
inverted rows
curl/press
tricep extension
MB slams
400m

-I had this moment yesterday where I just realized how lucky I am to have fallen into this hobby. To have something to be passionate about that serves as a healthy outlet, surrounds me with awesome people (like you all), and gives me a sense of accomplishment every week is a very fortunate thing. In spite of the back stuff, I’m feeling really grateful for it.

because ^^^ = most boring post ever-this clip is all sorts of awesome. i <3 me some ferrell.

OMGGGG I have this moment every so often as well (if you can have a moment more than once? haha)

I just feel so lucky that I get to love something so cool and so rewarding and so different…

I am very grateful powerlifting came into my life, even if she frustrates me sometimes.

You’re definitely going to hit walls at times w/injuries/life & the such… But it sounds as if you are taking the correct approach.

Saw the Ferrell thing a few weeks back. Hilarious. Though I understand some of the players weren’t to happy nor did they understand…

I’m appeased btw.
