Saturday, July 10 2010: Brute Strength Meet in Norfolk, VA
Squat:
402.3 - 3 white lights
429.9 - 3 white lights
451.9 - 3 white lights
Bench Press:
292.1 - 3 white lights
314.2 - 3 white lights

Deadlift:
490.5 - 3 white lights
512.6 - 3 white lights
523.6 - 3 white lights
Probably could have gone 10-20 pounds higher on the deadlift; I undershot my 3rd attempt. Oh well. Brute Strength Gym is the most bad ass place I’ve ever stepped foot in.
Monday, July 12 2010: On vacation in the Outer Banks. The only gym near here is in a spa…this should be a fun week.
Retarded Squats - These are advanced squats for meatheads out of their element. Since the spa gym has no rack but does have a barbell, I went from power clean to bradford press to squat. For my last couple sets, my friend held one end of the barbell up while I crawled under and went up from there.
135x10
185x5
225x5x4

135x5
225x5
315x5
A gym/spa sounds fun; squat then pedicure ![]()
Awesome workout. Poor lady… but awesome workout nonetheless. And good job at the Meet.
Haha thanks
The plan is to get kicked out my last day there.
Keep mouthing off to old ladies and you’ll reach that goal ![]()
Heavy lifting in a spa of old ladies is as ironic as it gets.
