Guess who just got a new "biggest fan . . . " 
EDIT:
Ho-LEE Cow, that sounds creepy! I normally would leave a comment like that alone and let everyone catch the joking tone themselves but something like that needs a "HEY!! I’m only kidding" disclaimer . . . . .

I have my own pair of THP, they have a bit of a bite, but you won’t even realize that you were even in the hole, the recoil is very nice.

See, that’s what I want to hear. I’ve just sent away for a set. The ones I have now are from APT and pretty light.
There are six open lifters in the 75 kg weight class, and I have the lowest qualifying total. If the other women match their qualifying totals and I go 9/9 with my planned attempts, I will get 5th place.
Well, I have been wanting some competition…
Eight lifters in my flight, 13 in Flight A. Should be a very fast meet.

Easy for me to say since I’m just runnin’ my trap, but you go 9 for 9 then you’ll be keeping up with the progress you have mapped out for yourself. Show up ready to spit nails, knock your lifts out, and don’t worry about anyone else. If it’s competition with others you want, make them beat you. The most you can do is not miss a lift. So don’t! >;-)
…And if I eat a ton this week and move up a weight class, I will probably be national champion with my openers.
Gotta love it!
I’m keeping everything crossed for you.
I will spare you the image of me singing “You are the wind beneath my wings”
Oops. Sorry about that but seriously it has been pretty inspirational watching you log your progress.
Is the the new wraps

Better have Mr. PMPM, aka “PushYouPullYou, oh but I could make the cutest rhyme!!” take you all over Colorado for “buffet week.” Seriously, have the man FEED you!! I wanna hear about sparks flyin’ off that plate while he’s dutifully trudging back up to the dessert bar telling all the parents of frightened kids that “she normally doesn’t snort like that but she’s in training.”
Durn. I make a pretty deadly sweet potato cheesecake and an absolutely sinful lemon cheesecake. End up givin’ them away since all I have to do is say “cheesecake” and my “bulk belly” pops out another inch or so!!

I’m already the Raw and Push/Pull National Champion because I had no one else in my weight class. There’s no way I am not making weight for this meet!

Unless I move back down…
Your gonna do great! I am looking forward to meeting you in just over a week. What day do you come in?
And in case you didn’t figure it out – I am kidding and the chances of me making the 82.5’s is very small…
Shoot, I was thinking you were going to keep me honest. We get in late on Friday, and leave early Monday morning. I’ll get to see you lift, if you need anything!
Good luck PMPM. You’re gonna Karate Kid all over their asses!
Saturday - weights
Squat - fully equipped, practicing with the wraps and the hubby. We figured out to put my fingers in the wrap on the last wrap, to give some room for threading the wrap at the end. We will do this on the first and maybe second attempts, and then use the rope/wrap puller.
The wrap puller makes them so tight they are impossible to undo without a screwdriver. Did a few sets of 3-4 fully equipped with 185, practicing depth.
Deadlift - fully equipped with 225, more just practicing getting down, set up, pulling the shoulders back.
Triceps - 3x10x20s extensions
One arm rows - 3x10x40s
Incline situp - 5x10
My weight is much more in control at this point than it was for the December meet. Even if I have to spit/sweat or anything, I will do it the night before rather than the morning of, so I have more time to eat and rehydrate in the morning, and sleep.
Stupid PMPM moment of the…year. I picked out the Miami itinierary. I decided to purchase it. I purchased tickets to fly my brother in law and his girlfriend out to Denver just after we get back from Miami. I neglected to purchase the Miami itinierary.
I finally caught the mistake and purchased the flights on Monday-ish. That was a $300 mistake.
Ooops.
I confessed it to hubby in front of our friends today at lunch. Phew! It’s always good to have people around so he can’t get mad.
thought i would stop by and say hello. good luck with your meet. Is it this coming weekend? Are you going gear whore or RAW dog??
either way…good luck!! i’ll be watching your log from now on.

Now that’s some good wrapping. I’m still working on getting mine that tight. Seriously. I want to have to have hardware around to get mine off.
Although, once last fall, I got them so tight my friend had to take them off with his teeth.

This will be my third meet as a gear whore. After that, my next big meet will probably be USAPL Raw Nationals in July in VA, which will be, of course…raw.
sweet, where at in VA? I could down and be a cheerleader!
I think it’s in Charlottesville, which is probably around what, three hours drive?
Last time I made that drive was with my best friend on the way to get her some brain surgery. Good times.
