GIMMEE!!
ok, ok, i’ve been training. and dealing with a remarkable amount of shit on my plate;
work is making us get fbi background checks. ok, whatevs. except that now it requires me to make MORE errands outside of school and work that i really havent planned for.
midterms and projects due in all my classes
jim moving to Colorado. ladies out there, take care of him.
3b) I havent had sex in 3 weeks. anger should no longer be a problem during my workouts.
ok so now i’ve bitched.
thursday i deadlifted, friday night involved beer and wings, and saturday i slept till about 3, getting up periodically to let the doggie out.
so today, i deadlift and squat, again.
the good news? i may have found a training partner/spotter. dunno if i mentioned him before, but i caught him doing power cleans with perfect form a couple months ago. started a conversation a couple weeks after, and didnt see him for awhile. i was convinced he must have been a tactile hallucination. he knew about structrual integrity, sent his son to WestSide for football training, it couldnt have been real.
except, it was! I’ve talked him into lifting with me on occasion. totally plan on picking his brain as MUCH as possible! plans set for later this afternoon.
so, thursday deadlifting:
in the school gym again, and they dont have a belt tight enough for me to deadlift in, so i had to stop my weight at 235. eh. ok. note to self* BUY MY OWN FUCKING BELT!!
deadlift, 5/3/1
bar, bar, 95, 115, 135, 155, 175, 185, 205(<–all x5), 225x3, 235xi forget bc my camera is in the kitchen and im too lazy to go get it. i’ll youtube it and edit with the link during daylight hours.
did some wg pullups and good mornings for accessory work.
another WIN: got the hobbit to try pullups with the band. he’s convinced. wants to get some of his own, so he can teach himself to do 1arm pullups, apparently a crucial move in rock climbing, esp with the instability the bands provide.
i smell a contest a brewin…
so, hi ladies, i’ll be around a lil more now. i think.
You’ve got my sympathies on the long distance thing. My fella not only lives at the other end of the country but is also a workaholic who is running his own business which is trying desperately not to go under during the recession. I think I’ve seen him three times this year. I have carpal tunnel.
Good luck with the nw training partner - sounds like you’ve got some good stuff going on aside from the hassles.
You can get through this! As worse as crap has been at times, somehow we always manage 
I have finals due too, YUCK!!
Hang in there.
So you’re going to see who can do a 1 arm pullup first? That’d be baller. I want that sooo bad!
Cal- time for an overshare- for me, masturbation is kinda like throwing a water balloon at a mushroom cloud. it makes you feel better for a minute, but doesnt help the big problem. NOTHING can replace the weight of him on top of me, straddling those fantastically thick thighs, the hair pulling, or the face cupping. mom suggested i get a weighted body pillow. lol!
MIM- yeah, i’ll be ok. i always am. damn my ability to take a step back and realize how huge life really is. it gets easier when i have that tunnel vision thing going on.
bobbi- yeah, but i dunno if i’ll clue him in on the competition. i think i’ll just start working on em on my own, then bust a few out in front of him, like, what?
oh man all the way to colorado. shit. what’s the plan there???
i definitely don’t envy those of u with the long distance thing. but damn it must be spicy as fuck when you do get to see each other. =+)
one arm pullups! hell yeah…that’s a badass goal. can you do a few where you hold onto the forearm of one arm???
Don’t knock masturbation, it’s sex with someone you love and you don’t even have to look your best.
But seriously, I understand what you mean - physical contact is a basic human need and it sucks not to get it more often.
I will be seriously in awe of you if you can get a one arm pull-up. The only way I could do that would be to amputate both my legs. And much as I’m irritated by the dodgy knees, bum ankle and wobbly thighs, I would rather have them than not. (Unless I could get a really cool pair of cyborg legs that would make me run faster than Usain Bolt - but I don’t think science has quite got there yet).
lol@ amputating both legs!!
Can anyone here do a true one-hander? I can do 5 or so holding the forearm but I can’t let go 
shit, I’m still working on doing a two hander!
Even longer long-distance? Well, fuck. For your sake, I sure wish that was different. However, I have every confidence you’ll figure out a way to make it work.
Happy to have you around more. Our gain.
A 1 arm pullup would be amazingly bad-ass. Must. beat. Hobbit.
I’m assuming the reason that you wear a belt to deadlift over 235 is safety for your back muscles? I don’t have a belt yet. Maybe someday. If I could get an orange one, that would make me very happy.
Everyone- he’s decided it would be best to be just friends for now. so, no to the even longer long distance. its now a “no distance.” lol. i made a joke. but i still get to txt with him every day, and he’s still an awesome man.
bobbi- never tried a 1 arm pullup, but i bet i’ll get to it. im a determined lil son of a bitch.
kimba- yeah, i try to wear a belt above 220 or so, just to help me brace my back. turns out its getting pretty strong!
cal- i was definitely NOT knocking masturbation, it just doesnt really help me any. i’ll agree that amputation for the sake of pullups isnt a good idea!
EDIT: the link to the 235 squats: 235 11.5.09 - YouTube
deja- lol. i’ve joked about taking applications, but it’s just a joke. I’ll just go about my business for awhile. not really looking for anything.
sorry to hear that. =+(
may you find ur next big wheeled stud in no time.
NOOOOOOOOOOO not goucho pants!

only in the gym, and only on deadlift day, and only sometimes! i have several pairs of short pants, and the others were dirty or black and covered in kitty hairs.
ive tried deadlifting in regular pants, and it just doesnt feel right without the bar scraping my shins. everything feels… weird with long pants while im deadlifting.
and, they were on walmarts clearance rack.
ok, ok, im sorry…
Ack, sorry to hear that. I’m sending you a truck full of water balloons, stat.
Deadlifts look solid. There’s a teeny bit of rounding on reps 2 and 3 but it’s pretty negligible and I’m in no position to comment. My last attempt at 242 was so ugly it made an instructor cry.
Nice work. And I don’t mind the pants.
