So I had a shitty workout. Then I got in a shitty fight with shitty RG. Then I played shitty at volleyball. All in all a pretty fantastic night.
I’m going to bed. Tomorrow can’t be any worse.
Yes it could - you could wake up and realize that you’re me.
Or you could find out through the grapevine that you’ve been dumped (for no explained reason) from a competition list.
Wait, that’s been fixed. Sorry you had a total shit night.
Well I didn’t sprout any additional sex organs last night, and looking at the Niagara list I’m still on it, so today is starting out alright. A friend that I met at university is in town today so him and I are going to lunch. It’ll be nice to see him and laugh given that I still kind of want to punch someone (anyone) in the face. Or kick them in the teeth. Either or.

As O mentioned in her log, the crew started talking about the IPF Worlds in Newfoundland and coach said something about “Ya it was all the Newfies wearing/doing…” whatever they were talking about. For whatever reason I found it funny, laughed, and dropped my first rep of this set on my chest. I got refocused to give it another go, but I didn’t have it for that 8th rep.
I’m finally off 8x3s for squats. He didn’t want to change me til Sunday but I bitched enough about it that he did. I haven’t squatted in 10 days so it felt a little funny and I was having issues, enough to be corrected after/during every set. Meh. Sunday will be better.
Coach was in a mood tonight. As O alluded to, the boy was getting too much attention and was getting frustrated and looked upset. O was getting ignored because she’s the Cinderella that nobody cares about or remembers. The rest of us were all getting some variant of shit. I think Pete might have been the only one he liked… he actually praised him and said “That’s how you squat!”
Despite all this, I knew I needed a good nood-boosting session to alleviate the bitchiness/violenceness that has been me lately so I made sure I did. In fact, speaking with Todd earlier he said I must be absolutely pleasant to be around these days. I explained that I was. Asked if he wanted to do dinner and he said No and to remind him to stay far away from me. Maybe I’ll kick HIM in the teeth…
Nice squattin there Court, bet it felt great.
You guys got no heat in that barn LOL, January is gonna suck. We have the opposite problem, my PL gym is in an old building downtown with hot water heat. Last weekend it was like a sauna, and there is no thermostat to lower it.
Good to see you and O are having decent training sessions these days, I’m just sitting here bored waiting for Sunday’s meet. I can’t wait to start a new training cycle.

I think we all need to work on benching LOL.
Court, before I put cash on this, what are you pulling right now, I don’t recall seeing any DL vids.[/quote]
I agree!
As for DLing… I haven’t done it the last few weeks cuz my back has been sufficiently effed. I’ve pulled 235 for a single ‘fairly’ easily, pulled a 225 single on my own a few weeks ago for shits and giggles. Sunday I’ll likely be doing 195x5x3 unless he’s going to be nice and drop me down to 5 and 1 like everyone else.
I’ll be peaking in the next few weeks then cutting back to peak again for Jan 24th.

So I’m going to throw out the numbers that I think Court will do in Niagara in January.
This assumes she is using wraps and belt only.
Squat: 250
DL: 270
Bench: 110
Total 630 lbs or 286 kg
The provincial/national qualifying total for her weight class is 262.5 kg.
That gives her lots of room so she should be able to qualify easy peasy.
For anyone else that’s seen her train what do you think? Maybe we should throw some cash at this.[/quote]
Sorry for the late response. Just getting up off the floor after laughing about kicking ME in the teeth. Court, you’ve punched me before and it didn’t hurt, so why would it now?
As for her numbers, those are pretty good guesses. She still has two months of training left. I think she’s at the top of the squat curve so that number won’t increase significantly. I could see her squeezing out 265 (345 if some dude tells her she can’t).
Pulling I haven’t seen her do too much. But she’s getting the proper instruction now so I can’t really say with utmost certainty. I’ll say she pulls 285lbs.
As for bench, the girl has untapped potential in my opinion. She’s learning HOW to bench and she’s a pretty good pupil in terms of taking in and applying knowledge. She’s at 100lbs now. In 2 months, with say a 2.5lb increase over 8 weeks, that another 20lbs. I’ll say she benches 120lbs.
I’ve been having some issues with DL, just getting off the floor fast enough. I’ll aim for 230 on Sunday, I’ve done 225 with fairly good speed. Once you are all healed up, post some vids, then I’ll place my bet!
I’m still thinking about that Niagara meet. It’d be fun to meet up with you guys.

This is a mini hijack… stay tuned for the regularly scheduled bitching and mockery.
Diana, what are your goals for Sunday? Have you set your attempts?
By the way. We do actually have heat. It’s a giant space heater that is either on or off. It’s either freezing or hot flash territory.
Last night, however, we did get some exterior lighting. We are way out in the country and since the time has changed, it is like the bottom of a coal mine dark when we leave. We fumble around in the dark trying to find our vehicles. I think Bill was getting worried that the coyotes would start picking us off in the dark.
Well, I’ll open at 105 bench, 175 squat and 215 DL. I need 237.5 kg to make national totals. I should be able to pull of a 110 bench (50 kg), 185 squat (85 kg) and 225 DL (102.5). That’s right on the money, but the squat and DL numbers I am planning as second attempts, so anything more than that is icing.
They are numbers I’ve hit in the past few weeks, but all bets are off in a meet. We shall see, last time I did not have enough food in me when we started squatting, hopefully I will be able to eat more this time.
I’ll go to the gym today and do some light stuff because I’m bored to death right now. The highlight of my day yesterday was getting snow tires.

Liar.
You just want to meet Bartl.[/quote]
LOL am I that transparent?
But seriously, I think it would be fun.
Don’t worry Court, he’s all yours, I’m pretty much married at this point, meaning I got the house and the dog. What more could a girl ask for?

All web wrestling over Bartl aside, I think it would be a blast if you competed with us.

That’s funny. So is Court… or at least that is what her friends tell me.[/quote]
Are you kidding me? YOU are the one that repeats this? Might I note the irony of that.
Seriously tho, it’s not only them that complain they never see me. RG says the same. Apparently going to the gym together doesn’t count as quality time…
Therefore, the overall consensus is that I suck, both as a friend and as a girlfriend.
