Whew, not as dumb as I thought, computer savy I am not.
Squat sesh was all back 88 reps 4 min.
Then went on to FS
95/2
100/3x1
105//2x1 vid on 2
110/1 vid
100/2x1
Singles after that 4 min session were interesting. My PR on FS is 115 so Ill take 110, not even close to fresh. Only hit parallel, but Ill take that too.
Then did extensions and curls and leg press. Added 10# on to my ext.top set and curls, I was happy about that. LPs just did some burn out feet together , feet wide , done. I know I did more singles FS but didnt keep track, so that is close.
MIN haha, hmm that would be cool, feel free to use your own idea You could do an under water shot, how dope would that be!
I took some pics but I sold the piece I had my mirror on, and the lighting was different. Ill see if the lighting is closer in the morning, if not Ill just post what I took today.
Your snatch grip looks pretty wide to me. Below is a guide I follow on grip width which puts me with my index fingers inside of the rings. Yours will likely be different but I’m pretty sure this formula will have you moving your hands in quite a bit.
Snatch-Grip Deadlift
This is another movement used by Olympic lifters. The main difference between the clean-grip deadlift and the snatch-grip deadlift is… surprise, surprise… the grip width. The snatch-grip is noticeably wider. The width of the grip should be from the tip of the fingers of your extended arm to the tip of the opposite shoulder.

Couple things on the snatch grip DLs. A true snatch grip will put the bar in the crease of the hip, with a slight knee bend, in the finish position. It ends up being a wider hand position than most expect. I find it awkward but if you have blocks you can start higher and work your way down to the floor.
Speaking of the start, you`ll likely be able to have a more upright position if you drive your knees out a bit before initiating the pull. It can also help quad drive off the floor.
Great advice guys. Joe i am liking it, I like not using my lower back as much, plus its good to try something new. BTW crazy volume you had with your squats, showing us all up!!
Two week check in. Im basically posting pics every 2 weeks…cause i said i would. Not necessarily to show im changing, that is so hard to see for me, but maybe will be some sort of change from day 1 to end pic. Didnt realize how hard it would be just to stand the same, and get similar lighting, but im doing my best. I also should have taken measurements, maybe that would be an intsy bit different,ha.
Made some meatballs and sauce, cant wait to eat it!!! Read the first 6 logs on here, everyone is doing great.
Some cardio today and chest/back. top set was 88/5x5 , felt pretty easy, but needed a mod week, Also trying to keep my wiggley self, tight, and I did, so I was happy. This seems to be uber important as I get heavier/ duh.
rack pulls (my body) dang those are hard.
mid rows
some db flys
dips, had a little wrist twing form some side planks, so not a lot of volume.
some bicep work <<
…I know I am forgetting something, but was a flat week so guess it doesnt matter.
Going to give quads a little brake and just hit some glutes tomorrow. BB hip thrusts and goblets, and some cable kick back and maybe some RDL.
My right leg is having little spasms, and Im probably just paranoid , but Im having flash backs of that leg thing. I sure would feel a whole lot better if it happened “during” training instead of hours later, cause im not sure what exactly happened. I just know its not worth pushing, so i can wait to hit them hard sunday, Id be really pissed if I didnt listen to my body, and had something bust.
OG YES!! AND…, I feel them during. Its definitely a “different” type of sore, but it almost “hurts”, sitting there for that rest.
lol wasnt done edit
Viper I am feeling like Im hitting them consistently, and that feels great. Hope your training is going well also.
HOW I do GLUTE THRUSTS : I sit down and roll a padded BB over my legs( in this wo i did 120#) (can also use the smith or your rack) bar is on my low tummy, and lift the bar till my hips are way up, and i go back on my heels and squeeze with a pause, then lower and repeat. I feel it center and upper part of my flutes, haha glutes.
Well I was just looking for a little under layering for the dress, they really make women tops narrow in the shoulder upper arm area.
Dressing room lighting can ruin a girls day, but I will be shopping there again ,hahaha

NOTES <— copying the guys
I used a very narrow stance for squats (4:20 sesh) big mistake, knees hated me, wont do it again.
^^^that being said , knees were so solid on the 20 rep squats, I know its only 100, but still, being fatigued going right into it, Ill take it.
rdl was more for a good slow stretch.
Thats hard to keep notes short, ha
You could do an under water shot, how dope would that be!
