Hi Ronda,
I can’t completely tell, but how far apart are your feet while you are deadlifting? From the angle it looks like you are more than shoulder width. It helped my dl a lot when I brought my feet in so they were a little closer than shoulder width. It might be something to try if you were looking to make a few adjustments!
Great lifts!

You make them look like duffle bags, Ronda![/quote]
He really is… and I have a crush on his back 
Thanks Ponce though it sure feels harder to lift then a duffle bag…
She has a MASSIVE crush on his back…

Why now all of a sudden? Is this a new trainer at the gym you go to?
Free is good!!
I think the gym is trying to promote their trainers and as I am not generally an afternoon person I was never ‘pounced’ on by any of them until yesterday. He is fairly new, a few months I think.
Free is very good :)[/quote]
If he’s no good, see if you can make him cry, get it on tape and post it for our amusement.
I’m impressed by your CG. You made 125 look like cake!
I love the vids! I haven’t tried a close grip bench. Looks uncomfy. How is that working for you and where do you feel it hit?

and finally SLDL at 165… this was a request…
He is saucy and bossy 
Hey, who said I was the person who requested it?
I mean I did but you totally didn’t know that.

I totally did know it was you.
So I went to the trainer tonight and I have to say he wasn’t horrible. In hte end he was just trying to sell his training package which I told him I wasn’t interested in. Well my exact words were that ‘when I see your trainers here look like some of my goals for strength then I might take you up on this offer’.
So this is 115
this is 135

again, you made it look easy
and I liked your response to the trainer
75 front squat… I think the form was good but holding the weight that way was weird…

It hits your triceps. It can strain your wrists a bit until you figure out just how close you want your grip to be but I find it really helped my regular bench press.
Well, most of the of the brotards anyways…

Now that’s what I’m talkin bout!
Good work on the deads, ronda - you prolly already realize this but you woulda gotten 265 had you not done so many damn sets and reps before that!
And be easy on the “brotards” if you come down…bless their hearts, they try, they really do.
On second thought, go ahead and show them up. Just make sure I’m there to watch.

Your DL form is better than mine. I cannot wait for you to get down here and curl more than the brotards at my gym.
hopefully it will inspire mass suicides.

Yeah, I know, Joe told me the same thing. It wasn’t my goal to go for 265 that day it was just that 225 came so easily I thought I would try… maybe in a few I will try again w/ that goal in mind.
The brotards are good entertainment and so is crushing their souls… evil laugh
I’ll let you know when I plan on doing that

Thanks!
I’m impressed Ronda!
Especially since you haven’t squatted in forever, right?

No I havn’t squatted in a long time, over a year, I surprised myself.
Less talking, more lifting
On a less bossy note I’ve already got steaks and ribs to BBQ when you get down here.
