How very sad...

My prayers go out to her family and friends....

I was just about to say that.  How ridiculous are all these guys that they can't do something that take 1 minute when you have been a poster on this board for YEARS. 

ahhhhhh  I didn't realize you had started a training thread, I know you will do better then I did!  I am pathetic

lol are are still lurking around here Lori?!  haha

I am just giving my opinion for him...if he was trying to decide.  Just because I am a female doesn't mean I can't appreciate a beautiful woman, or even one that just hittable.

yikes, no

exactly, I am going to have to tell all the powerlifters about this...they have been doing it wrong all this time, I am sure they will appreciate learning the proper way to spot

He looks natural to me, if he is on he is screwed...for a natural he looks great though

Hey Princess!  Here is a link to the site: http://www.wi-usapl.com/Entry%20forms/Milwaukee%20Open%20Entry.2010.pdf

It looks like it is near the airport at the Best Western...not sure if that is the host hotel or where the event is held.  Are you close?


Training this past week not so great, the dieting is frustrating because I am so hungry even though it isn't super strict.  Also I think I am training a bit too much, lifting 5 times a week.  I am cutting this back to 4 times and combining my shoulders and arms.  Benching tonight and tried to get in some good meals soooo we will see if that helps.

lol, if I tightened it up there would be NO WAY i could get to depth...it is seriously hard as it is.  We have to pull the legs up and pull the straps so I have enough leeway to get down.  Maybe once I am comfortable hitting depth and doing it consistently but doubt that will happen this year.  Plus I have always been a fast squatter...especially in a 1-ply suit the rebound helps out, it is when you go with the thicker suits that the squat is more controlled (at least that is my understanding...)

oh really?? I don't know that this statement applies in this decade....of my 5 closest friends 4 of the women make more money then the men and the last one is a biological engineer but her husband is an electrical engineer and makes more money...

Maybe I just have smart, over-achieving friends....

omg I thought it was funny!!  so ridiculous

need to represent for us women!!

 



thanks kiwi and wes!


oh and jnn I am just confused...

Had a great squat workout because I actually got to depth on nearly all my reps!  After taking slow steps when going up in weight we figured out that my belt was causing the bulk of the problem.  We found that the belt tightened up the suit so much that it would throw me off when descending.  We pulled the legs of my suit up and really tugged at the straps in the back before I tightened up my belt.  It worked...I am SUPER excited.

Put the straps up here to work with the suit
135 x 8
185 x 6
225 x 3
added the belt
275 x 3 a little high so made adjustments
added wraps
315 x 3
335 x 3
360 x 3

The lower weights this year are a bit of a min-fukc but I really feel I needed to relearn the squat so at the meet depth isn't a question.  The squats felt great...

Find a GFS by your house, they sell 1/2 gallons of liquid pasturized egg whites (the exact same product) for about $7.50

Deadlifting went pretty good this week...I used my squat suit which is loosening up just a bit because I am trying to diet and get down to the 132 class.  I was hoping that it would be a little easier then it was but I am still 7 weeks out so I have some time to work with the gear and hopefully pull a good number/

that last set I got all three but they were a bit shaky...definitely was a struggle....

One of the strange things that I am working with is not takinga  big breathe before I pull.  If my breathe is too big it is much harder to get to the bar so i am trying to go with a half breathe, with my set up I am sooo used to taking that huge breathe raw that I feel slightly off with the change.

Good to hear from you wicked!  I see you are still at it

Squats...first time in my suit...got to parrellel but not below, I still need that extra inch.  We are thinking about having my suit legs brought up 1/2 inch or so, we are going to try and pull it way up next week and see if that helps.

would love that chest....those boobs

where are you from?  Since you aren't doing the December meet you should do the january meet!

It looks like you tweak your back often, do you think it is becasue of the weights or your pull?  Have you considered changing to Sumo?  I think it takes a lot of stress off the lower back.
