this guy was a professional and it totally showed in his level of comfort. we got a couple of good pics in 30 mins flat.
Planning to hit the gym tomorrow for some squating.
Damn. Apparently I can bench your first warmup and I covet Mr. A. as a…plumber. There is much win in this log.

I WILL BE IN THE AREA. ARRIVING SEPTEMBER 29. PHOTO SHOOT REQUEST.
And your lifts are really going up. Are you still following 5/3/1 for everything?
Plumber A is a cutey!
do you get to sleep with the plumbers/ettes too?!
are you making a book?
can you do a photoshoot and then send them to me as drawing models?
Kimba - the win force is def strong in me these days.
Snap - PM me the details. If you’re traveling the hardest part will be where to shoot but if it works out you can always do it at my place. I might request a tasteful plumber pic for my calendar project in exchange of my time
Also still following 5/3/1 although I have occasionally thrown in a finisher when I felt I still had juice in my tank.
last bench was as follows:
Based on 150lbs max
115 x5 (75%)
130 x3 (85%)
140 x6 (95%)
still felt strong and wired at this point but not enough to face my max so I went for reps
125 x12(83%)
135 x4 (90%) - puttered out at this point should have stopped at the previous lift but my ego got in the way.
MIM - what makes him even more of a cutey is his humility and playfulness. I just loved working with him.
Bree- no fucking, kicking, biting, sexing, sleeping aloud. I do not have an open relationship and the hubby is helping me with the project without batting an eyelash. I appreciate his trust and the fact that I can do this without drama.
I am making a calendar, the sales of which will be going to fight leukemia through TEAM
http://www.teamintraining.ca/mon/
anybody interested to buy come Novemeber just let me know. We are looking into printing quotes and we will have a price by October. I calculate that I will be investing about 50-75 hours of time by then.
Bree- Are you willing to pay the flight ticket seriously you can hit up a modeling agency and ask if they have any newbies willing to work on a portfolio. That’s the trick Ted gave me.
Not a bad idea, but I prefer the idea of having everyday people giving of their time, stepping out of their comfort zones and realizing that they have something pretty damn decent to offer to the project. Plus having “reg” people involved means more people excited about buying and selling the calendar which is the whole reason for this.
If I’m ever in the area I’d love a photo shoot.
OR! We can all plan a meet up and finally make that PW calender!!

Dude!
hellz yeah. The proceeds should go to something fittting though. Might be something fun to wrack my brain over next year for 2013 calendar.
Please pass along my admiration to your brother for having such a fabulously boobalicious wife. And to her, of course, for being fabulously boobalicious.
Training is looking solid.
Thanks Git!
I was about to head to the gym today when the husband dropped, “don’t over do it” wink wink so I made it short and sweet, in order to have more sweet.
foam roll and warmup/stretching
hamstring
calves
groin
retard frogs
bodyweight squars
wall squats - and plenty of them
shoulder dislocates 2x12.
felt nice and limber for the first time in a long time
Squatz:
bar x8
95 x5
115 x5
130 x5
140 x5
160 x5
170 x10! rep PR +2.
conversation in my head on last set:
near 5 reps “I can stop here, it’s the prescribed reps.”
near 8 reps “I can stop here and equal my former Pr.”
After 8th rep I told myself to dig deep and somehow I cracked myself a crazy ass smile in the mirror dropped for 2 extra reps, racked the bar and collapsed on the floor for a minute. Anyone ever tap the crazy to push through? You know exactly what I mean if you’ve done it. Damn it felt good. At the point I was satisfied with my effort and called it a day. Keeping the rest of the crazy for home
And for those wondering where I’m pulling out these Pr’s from, I’ve gained 10lbs in the last 2 months. Now sitting at 165lbs. I know some of this is the beer and wine and good summer food I’ve indulged in. Game plan is to not change a thing for the next 3 weeks, and when I come back from summer vacay 2nd week of September I’ll lay off the vino and drop the carbs a bit. Just a general clean up so that I can compete in my weight class in October without doing anything drastic. So girly’s you want PR’s every gym day? Eat like a pig and gain weight.
cheerios!
Nice Prs lately, yes eating like crap and gaining weight has been working for me as well
Yay for the PR. If you are gaining strength with the weight then it’s all good. When I tried bulking I didn’t get stronger, I just got fatter. Not so good.
I’ll pass on the weight gain, thanks. I have extra as it is…
my weight gain would not look as cute as yours.
Glad its working for YOU though.
Awesome benching and squatting!
Congrats on the PR’s, you are going to kil it for your meet.
Vid of retarded frog plz.
