Here’s 245x2 with ok form - sorry for the dead air, forgot I had the camera on.
and a super wobbly 295.
there are so many reasons why my deads are better filmed from behind, the first being my weirdo faces.

Do a little dance, lift a little weight, get down tonight, get down tonight 
One thing I notice is that you have your feet set and then when you bend over to grab the bar you reset your feet in a different position.
Get positioned and planted - grab bar - set back - power bar off ground - lock out - bask in your awesomesauce…but you already know all that. Just sayin’
edit: that was just on the 295. 245 looked groovy.
and the bikini pic is omnomnom
YAY for funny frenchie faces!
Lookin’good and great bikini!
but what is that bruise from?
Git - your totally right about the feet fiddling. Will pay attention to that next week.
Soldog - bruise is actually starting to fade - it came from my Mp3 clasp that dug deep into my thigh on squat day. I blame that for missing my 205lbs. It bit like a mofo.
I also love the legs pic 
Looks like you already own the log title.
love the film from the front, such a wild set up!
yeah, it would be interesting to know what your free T3/T4 levels are. I do have some issues with bodyhair / acne - but my levels are ‘within normal range’ apparently, even allowing for them to fluctuate a bit higher. One doc muttered something about my skin having more receptors / being extra sensitive, and a couple chinese docs who didn’t look like they needed to shave muttered something about me maybe having some Italian in me lol.
I found this the other day (maybe interesting)
Following a bout of resistive exercise, the male’s testosterone level rises considerably, while in women the values change little, if at all.

I’m not convinced it is terribly credible, so I’ll look into it some more…
Great pulling Frenchie I bet if you had gone to 305 you’d have hit that though I do get why you went for 315.
Now lets hit the beach.
Damn!!! I’m gone for a week and I miss sexy photos, squat PRs and big deadlift pulls. Nice work! You pulled out of the meet deload and sickness funk with a vengence. I must say that leg photo was amazing!
UPScale -Thank you
Alexus - those are interesting reads, personally I don’t trust a one size fits all attitude. Neither men nor women respond to training with massive surges of T all the time. Depends on biology, type of training, medical history… so many variables. Are you a high T producer to begin with ect… What I DO know is that many writers/ researchers tailor the texts to their readers. The majority of women do no want to hear that exercise will increase T, ties into the godzilla woman fear.
Joe - beach sounds like a fine plan. Shall we meet up in Tahiti? 
Sbmart - a mix of good body, good pic and lighting. sometimes it all just comes together.
Yeah for being off the pill!
Although my lower back is a little sore I was looking forward to go to the gym. Where as last week I would have convinced myself to rest, today I was thinking “fuck yeah! What other body part can I destroy?” Don’t know if this makes any sense?
Chins with 2 red bands 3x6
Leg extension
125 1x12
135 1x10
140 1x8 - quads are def getting stronger
Dumbbell snatch 35lbs 3x8.
Leg Press machine + 180lbs 4x6
Pushups on medicine ball 3x8
Smith machine calf raises 135 3x8
Jack Knives 3x25
Treadmill 25 mins of 3mph incline 5%-12%.
I have a hiking trip planned for the last week of August and haven’t done any conditioning in ages so I’ll be adding this type of cardio as prep to my trip.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Try this, plant your feet in your stance standing up.
Now lower your chin into you chest.
Now throw your head back.
You should feel some motion down your back and into your hips, like they’re trying to move forward even though that wasn’t your original motion. Sumo is not my strong point which I will admit right now but if you think about throwing your head back/ hips forward as your first motion it may keep you in a better position and help your speed off the floor and keep you from getting so much upper back rounding which should put you in a better position to lock out. Great effort on the 295. Three plates coming soon, looking damn good Frenchie.
Slow to the party, but nice pulling! Wobbly or not, 295 is some serious weight.
I totally understand the destroying another body part feeling. Those days where you just wanna get in the gym and get something done, while working around what ails you. If anything, sometimes getting in the gym just lets you forget about that other soreness.
Nice deads frenchie! 295 is serious.
Booty on a pedestal pic in T-Vix was awesome!
Jealous of the hiking trip, have not been hiking in ages.
Hmmm sexy Frenchie, nekkid in the woods, pics would be beautiful.
You looked very very determined in those vids!
295 is big girl weight!

That may be the first reason, but it ain’t the best reason…
GREAT DEADS ! ! !
Fuck yeah!! Those deads are awesome, Frenchie! Great work, girl!
And those are some interesting cues, Bear Born - I actually love reading people’s cues (kinda nerdy like that), and I find Mainie’s setup to be BIG and powerful, kind like KMC’s foot stomping. So great to watch.
And, it goes without saying, that you are an absolute dream in that teeny pink bikini!! You have such lovely curves, Frenchie. And its true, your quest for amazon legs has indeed come into fruition. So impressive!
Great idea to prep for the trip! Hiking is some seriously hard work!!
