The oriental kid on the left?
It’s funny how becoming a powerlifter you went from being oriental to being a hoss from the South.

before i started bodybuilding i was a little girl named tiffany… go figure.
deads- this was the last night of the deadlift cycle. hit a huge PR. we are pulling from my “dead spot” which is about 3 inches below the knee. this is the point where i transition in the dead. as a result, starting from this point and not having the momentum off the floor, i’m weak as a kitten. it wasn’t long ago that i struggled to pull 600 from this spot. tonight i pulled a very comfortable 700.
so… The meet i scheduled is cancelled. i had a difference of opinion with NOVA RAW on what RAW actually is…LOL.
I just got off the phone with Jesse Rogers, the President of SPF, and I’m going to get trained as a judge. I’m also going to talk to the Chairman of VA. and with her blessing i’m going to start throwing SPF meets up here in Northern VA. I’ll keep everyone informed as to when this will happen.

Haha, I was kind of wondering about that. The whole SPF thing sounds pretty damn awesome. There is no way the gym could handle any kind of decent sized meets though. Would probably have to rent out a place or something…
That sounds really awesome though…
Oh and by the way… awesome pull. Not nearly the hardest elevated pull I’ve seen from you, which is a great sign since it was 700.
new bench cycle- decided to go with foam presses and end with paused floor presses. it was a good session and i can definitely feel it. was very happy with the foam press. 545 is what i ended with the last time i did these. definitely gett’n stronger.
New deadlift cycle. went with reverse band deads. i was very happy with our first day. typically i’ll work up to a weight that i hit on week three of the last time i did them but i actually tied my PR on these the first day out. hopefully that means i’m gett’n stronger.
Damn, it’s crazy how you can just keep pulling like that. From seeing the bar speed even before it got to your knees I wouldn’t think you could keep going, especially since it is reverse bands, and it just keeps getting heavier.

this goes back to my theory that the bands don’t resist as much as the weight gets heavier. it felt a little lighter a few inches right off the floor but then it felt like the weight didn’t change at all the rest of the way.
by the way, we get our monolift and competition bench on monday… are you jealous??
