A lot of people have gotten strong doing them touch-n-go, and a lot of people have gotten strong doing them deadstop. Tomato, tomahto.
If you fail on bench you can just do the roll of shame. Roll it from your chest down to your crotch area, then sit straight up, you can grab it from there, stand up with it, and place it on the floor in front of the bench.
Or just get a spotter.

I’ve noticed you do a lot of volume with sets, but you do no volume sets. Is there a reason?
Not trying to be a know-it-all or anything, just curious.

Wellll, I figured since I keep the intensity and the frequency high, that also having frequent intense volume would be stupid, ha.
Also, some random program that I read about that I am not even really following at all said back off sets should be doubles, ya.

WOOT BENCHING WENT SO AWESOME
145 was totally in the cards today, so in typical Jenn fashion I did not even bother attempting it.
ALL REPS PAUSED
plate side bends
35lbs
x 15/side
45lbs
x 12/side
back ext x 25
So pretty good overall. I must remind myself that every squat rep can’t be flaweless.
Jenn, every squat rep can’t be flawless.
Life news:
I need everyone to help me figure out what I should be when I grow up.
I was looking through all these career profiles and I don’t seem well-suited to much of anything :S.
I really, really like powerlifting. I wish I could just be a powerlifter for my job.
I like music, but being a groupie isn’t much of an option. Especially since I don’t have a passport and every time I ask my mommy if I can go see RHCP in some random country on the other side of the world she tells me no :/.
I am reallllllllllyyy shitty academically . I don’t even think I can spell that word properly…
My mom says it’s cause I don’t apply myself, but I honestly just don’t know the answers to any of the fucking questions!!
I just barely got my high school diploma, so there are a lot of programs I am not really able to apply to.
THOUGH I would be willing to upgrade if something motivated me enough.
I am worried I will never be as devoted and passionate about anything as I was with sign language. I did so well cause I found that sign language was easier to pay attention to than english.
I like writing, but I don’t think there’s really a huge target audience that wants to read about my stories of masturbation and being lonely.
I like masturbating, but I can’t do it professionally.
My tits are too small to be a porn star, and I am too chubby to be a stripper.
Umm, what else…
I don’t have my driver’s license yet, so I can’t drive a semi or anything.
I am not good with powertools or other sexy/manly stuff of that sort.
I am not really girly enough for girl jobs, like hairdresser or make up stuff. I only wear make up like once a month so ya…
I can’t draw and I am afraid of heights.
Other than Gabe, I really cannot stand children.
I am also completely and utterly socially inept. At my last job I started getting in arguments with customers almost daily and I kept yelling at stupid swim meet kids, UHGGGGGGG.
I was fun to work with, but patrons complained about me :S.
K SO HELP ME FIGURE OUT MY LIFE!!
THANKS!! 
BYE

Works for me. I was just curious. Do you plan on doing any more meets this year?
Your training and progress is looking awesome.
Have you ever considered becoming a personal trainer?
Also I lol’d hard at the professional masturbator part. Btw there actually is such a job as an adult novelty product quality assurance professional aka vibrator tester. I saw some talk show who had a lady on there who does that for a living.
Knowing that you could nail 145 but killing triples with 135 will make you stronger. You’re doing it right.
Didn’t you complete the security guard course? Might not be your dream job but could get you started. Always easier to find a job when you have a job.
Awesome benching.
What giterdone said about security guard… why’d you change your mind about that? Just because of the one job not working out?
What Csulli said re personal trainer… lifting weights is something you’re obviously interested in, knowledgeable about, and you look/lift the part. That’s one way to kiiind of have powerlifting as your job. Don’t know how you feel about the selling yourself, trying to get clients, etc, part of it though, that’s the part I would hate.
Can you get any form of job where you get to work using sign language?
Ie, care with deaf kids, translator
Ps, the idea of doing that many sets for squats made me feel a bit sick. I need better conditioning.
Have you tried…chef?
Also, you could be a professional masturbator. it is insane what these people will pay to see online nowadays. Startup costs are small, just a webcam and a nice set of sheets. Just a thought.

It’s quite obvious. You’re a natural writer. Look at the following you have here because of your interesting, entertaining, and refreshingly honest posts. Get an English degree and become a writer. I made my living for a number of years as one.

I wrote on here like a week ago if she wrote a book I would read it! Glad I’m not alone.

Agreed! In fact, sometimes I just glance at your workout real quick so I can read the “life news” section! You definitely are a gifted writer.

This is the most wonderfullest thing ever!!!
I have dreamt of being a writer ever since I was a wee lass captivating myself with my own barbie story lines…
I think I have to have like 4 30 level core courses all higher than 65% to even have the slightest chance of getting into that though.
MOMMY I DON"T WANNA GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL, WAHHHHHHHHH!!!
I have taken writing courses before, but I find they are way lame with their requirements for keeping everything PG. NO SEXUAL CONTENT/NO CUSSING.!!! 
Maybe I will write something super awesome/amazing and send it out everywhere in hopes that the ‘right’ person will discover it and publish it…
Excellent plan!
