as always an inspiration to me Nadia! Keep on being excellent 
Yeah, the TKEs did feel good for me too. Too bad theyāre soooooooooo boring.
Git: 225x10 would be awesome for me. But, secretly I really want 12āto stay true to my you should be able to add a rep every month theory and because I donāt believe in reasonable expectations.
Coyote!!! Thanks for stopping in. Hope youāre doing well. Update?
Dani: TKES are much less boring if you superset them with other more challenging exercises. THen, they are rest.

3-3-3 week pullups/ MP
Pullups
1 set of 14
4 sets of 10āgetting more confident with these 10 sets. Iāve been trying to shorten my range of motion in hopes of being able to eeek out my 25. Filmed a set to see if I could live with this. I think theyāre good enough. Iāll try to post.
MP
Intensity level= a big fat zero. During my sets I paid attention to such things as how nice my shoulders look during the lift. Seriously, I was that girl this morning.
Still making up my numbers and training without a plan for this lift:
MP
barx 10
55x10
60x9
65x5
70x3
HLRs some; tkes too.
Post meal nutritional plan: Hot dogs. I am awesome. And I made this meal even better, by putting 2 dogs in one bun. Thatās right. Low carb. not.

Oh! Nice! Hot Dog Sammiches (4 hot dogs splayed on a hero roll with American cheese, mustard, ketchup and mayo) were my all-time favorite late night booze-soaker-upper. Thank god Iām passed that stage in my life looks down in shame
Youāre such a fucking beast, Nadia! Those DLs were sick! The leg shaking was beyond badass.
I love the way you train. Youāre nuts! Good stuff in here as always, hooker!
And yes, youāre allowed to admire your muscles while you lift. Hell, I throw up double biās in the gym - douchebaggery to the max! Fuck if I care. LOL!

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I did the same this morning. Taking shitty pics of myself in the locker room for a new avi.
That girl. My first thought was Marlo Thomas.
Masch: Binge drinking, binge eating. I remember the days. Exactly when I wonder, did a mere two hotdog sandwhich without cheese become something for me to write about? Sometimes, I hardly recognize myself. Iām gonna complete the junk food circle of life with some pizza for dinner. Itās too hot to cook or to eat anything that is not unhealthy.
Ksnap. Time well spent. YOuāre looking fantastic. NO, not that that girl!

Work news. So that amicus case that I killed myself on at the start of the summer, and that I just began preparing argument for has been dismissed! The client apparently doesnāt really want to win or rescind her plea agreement and go back and face a 64 count indictment and a possible life sentence. Chicken shit bitch.
Actually, I donāt really blame her at all. It sucks that that is how the system works. Plea negotiations are disgustingly manipulative. Take the deal, waive the panalopy of rights gauranteed to you by the constitution, or suffer the wrath of the state. What irks me is that her attorney should have, long before the case made it to the state supreme court, made it clear to her what the prize was for actually winning her appeal.
āmay it please the court. The right to effective assistance of counsel extends to the guilty and the innocent alike. However, the prejudicial inquiry that this court employs in plea cases, which requires petitioner to show blah blah blah.ā Game over. Time wasted. Back to my real clients.
I always do that. Unless Iām in fat mode, I wear vests to the gym, just so I can see my shoulders and arms. Call it inspiration.
why shouldnāt you check yourself out? you got it goin on!!!
Good self talk getting yourself to get out there yesterday. You had pizza I had spaghettiā¦and my son looked on in shock as I went for seconds and thirds 
Cal & Mim: Thereās time for peacocking and thereās time for training. Seems to me the two shouldnāt mix. MP is my only lift that is down. And it is across the board down. Down on reps, down on max effort stuff. Thereās no reason I should be regressing here. Itās in my head or in my lack of head? No that doesnāt quite work, but you know what I mean. Heart, head, body. They all have to be on board or your going nowhere.

Training. 8 mile run. Stung. Thighs rubbing together chaffing. Eeek, Yikes, Mother Fucking Hell! Why runners donāt squat? Hip hurt some, but not enough to write about.
so here is a 10 set of my pullups yesterday. Iām not touching the bar to my chest, but they are clean enough (for me).
Compare:
I used to pull a bit higher.
What interests me, is my body position through these pullups. I appear to row the shit out of themāI donāt stay at all straight up and down. Check out the still picture from the video. I guess itās a favorable leverage, and so thatās what my body does. A marvelously efficient machine it is.
donāt know much about pull up form but I would be proud to call those my own Nadia.
rockin a cute outfit too
chaffing: big thighs arenāt much for hiking either.
Beauteous pullups. Youāre probably the only female on here who can do 10 pronated pullups. Youāre quite the poster girl for strength.
Thanks Frenchie and Snap. I was worried about my form. I mean Iām willing to ācheatā (they donāt have to be perfect)to get to 25, but I still want them to be passable. Glad they are. Good enough.
Snap: I donāt think Iām the only woman who can do 10 pullupsāI think Maschy has, Lula, n8tive, maybe iron crossāI rememember seeing some nice pullups by herā¦cbear? I donāt know. Iām not sure. Anyway, pullups are easier. Why you women do chinups, using your little tiny bicep muscles instead of your fucking back to pull your ass up Iāll never know.
+++++++++++++++++++
Training: Up early. Avoided doing anything productive by going for a run. Tights to combat chaffing.
8 miles. Same as yesterday. Squats later.
In honor of the 2,753 lives lost at the World Trade Center ten years ago, these 2,753 empty chairs face south to the World Trade Center on the lawn at Bryant Park.
I have pull-up envy. Iām happy to get six with a band. On the newer vid you donāt go quite as high, no, but you struggle less on the later reps too.
And I canāt believe itās been 10 years. It seems like yesterday. It does freak me out when I realise that most of the kids I teach werenāt even born then. The world keeps turning and new lives come to replace those lost, but our world was forever changed on that day.
Cal: I used bands to get my first few pull ups. I think it is a good strategy.
9-11-01, I was 35 weeks pregnant with my first child, and very sick, with not yet diagnosed pre-eclampsia. I was on my couch watching the news when the second plane hit. 4 days later I was a new mom.
On a clear winter day, I used to be able to see the twin towers from a window in my childhood bedroom. Now so far from that place, when I do make it back to that old home, the new skyline still surprises me.

5-3-1āI canāt be satisfiedāsquats
My morning run on top of yesterdayās run took a little bit of the starch out of me today. But still, because I do run, and I will always run, I canāt really use that as an excuse. Iām going to run. Iām going to squat. Iām going to make it work.
Squats
barx10
65x10
95x10
115x5
125x3
140x10āgood morning! Yes, they were ugly.
Heavy singles (see video)
155x1
175x1 SLOW
185x1 Not confident after my 175 showing. I didnāt want to not try, but I sure as hell quit on the lift early. Not a very good effort. But, I was still happy with how I performed. This is still a good squat day for me.
Front squats:
bar x10
65x10
95 x I need to do these later. I was tired.
Squats-155, 175, 185 miss
why canāt I see none of your videosā¦ lol Good Mornings are still a great ME movement. my squats become horrible towards the end now. doesnāt help Josh throws so many of them at me. though, itās helping fine tune my form. really worked on driving the head/chest up first. helped to make it not a good morning.
9/11/01 - one of the few things I donāt voice my opinion on, as I canāt make it into words. if the army would of accepted me, then i would have been able to express myself a lot better.
Why you women do chinups, using your little tiny bicep muscles instead of your fucking back to pull your ass up Iāll never know.
i read that chin-ups are supposed to be easier because your biceps get to help your back whereas your back has to do it all by itself with the pull-ups. that pull-ups were harderā¦ but what you say does make sense. my back is very weakā¦ doing a single chin is a full on max effort for me andā¦ mehā¦ iām embarrassed to sayā¦ meh. i think it (should be) back to the lat pull-down machine for me 
pizzaā¦ nom nom nom.
I was lying on my couch sick from the flu, watching it happen on TV in a fevered dazeā¦
Your squat session was nice! canāt see the vids eitherā¦
