Ugh! You had one heck of a time last week! Sounds like you both needed an deserved some time to rest and relax (as much as small children allow of course haha!!)
May this week be much better for you!!

Hopefully no more cow sex til May! May try for a vid on Fri. Should have done it yesterday cause I had the kids with me cause of Lee Jackson Day.
Thanks DM. It is going better already! We loaded 5 pigs out of here this am!!
Hey Geek! P is pertty funny.
Thanks BSG.
Love the roller. Hubs keeps stealing it though!
Thanks RB. I am trying to remember what size boxes they have there.
Head is still sore but better. They can bellow all night long. Weaning is worse than heat. Unless people drive by and see like 6 of your cows riding each other. That is kind of emabrassing.
Some weeks are just like that. I am trying as I get older to not let the bad days carry over. Break felt good. Can't wait to hit it tomorrow!!
Thanks MM. It is crazy how kids do seem to know the morning you want to sleep in and ruin them. But mine are getting older so they normally aren't as bad. They get up early on weekends and don't want to get up on school days!
I may bring my phone tomorrow and see if I can figure out how to set up to take a vid of deads and then Fri for squats. Best camera position for deads and squats? Thoughts? Where do you put the camera? On the floor. On a bench? Workout in a public gym. Any ideas?Spoon Barbell Club

I'd say just set it up where ever you can! I haven't gone to a gym alone and taken videos by myself before. hahaha! I bet I could actually count the number of times I've been to one, actually!

Deads and Vids
Alright. So I do have vids. I realized when I got to the gym that they only have 6 10# plates and all 6 were in use. And there were not enough 5’s to make 40, so I decided to try 185, which was a 10# jump from last Wed. Let us just say, I blew my wad. Pardon the saying. But all the creatine in the world was not going to let 5x5x185 happen. So I have vids of the first 4 sets. They were too heavy. My back rounds a little and my butt isn’t low enough. I do’t like doing them in the spot I had to today. I like doing them with a all in front and a mirror on the side so I can check my back and bum location before I start. So, yes they are vids, but not great. Any input is welcome. Yes I am a dork.

Hey Lori, thanks. Every time i see their logo it just cracks me up.
See I don't know Geek. I was thinking as I was doing the second set of 185, this is farking heavy. I don't know if i could pull 190. I mean I want to get to 225, but I am not sure how. Do I go back down to 175 and do x5, then re try 180, then 185, then go til I get stuck and come back down? I have lifted for a couple yrs but I have never really tried to lift heavy til recently and I am just not sure how to get there.
Thank you RB. Coming from you that is high praise!
Thanks P. I remember watching some of you DL vids from last fall and thinking dang she is strong. So thank you.Last edited by jjeane; 01-23-2013 at 04:36 PM.

Okay Geek you have a point. I suppose next time I should try 180. I think the 10# jump was a mind fuk.

Nice job on the DL JJ! Tiny bit of back rounding but that was max effort for you for that amount of reps so it's to be expected. Try to keep the shoulders back and push through your heels. I notice you're wearing running shoes, helped me a ton w/ form when I stopped doing that and started DLing in socks, the shoe padding can screw you up sometimes. Excellent work being put in though, was obvious in the vids you are working your ass off!
Agreed, ease into it, that is a huge jump for any lift.Current PRs:

Thank you Hobbes. I agree on the back rounding. May try the no shoes, I notice a lot of you guys DL with no shoes, but was not sure why.
It was a huge jump and I would not have done it had 4 10# plates been available. Stubborn me. I should have waited. My goal for the day was 5x5x180 and if I got 3 out of 5 I was going to be happy. I think I will go back to 5x5x175 next time and try again.Spoon Barbell Club

Thanks guys. i think sometimes you just get caught up and have to step back and see how far you have come!
Happy Friday!!!!
I have vids of squats. The 45’s I think look good. The 65’s are okay and the 95’s are not low enough. Need to do some research on what would be the best way to go about building on my squats. Any suggestions on form? Or building on squats is much appreciated!
My calves were sore yesterday which I thought was weird. No quite sure why?
Pull ups, I am up to 4!! I am happy about this. Really want to make it to 5!!
Huh, what else. Oh yes. U bought some Chuck’s. I wore Chuck’s in High School. In fact I have plaid high top Chuck’s. They were cool. I have no fashion sense. I literally wear the same thing all the time. I have like 4 or 5 of the same jeans, shirts, etc. So anyway. But I really liked lifting in them. I have been having some inner leg/groin pain while squatting and I don’t if it it was th shoes, or maybe I finally found the right foot angle, but no pain today.

i think you have great form on those squats. they are a little high. Some were at parallel and others were above. i dont know if you just need to push yourself in the hole at bodyweight to see what it feels like to go low (you could video yourself, so first you feel it, and then you see it) until you get to just below parallel. I still do that stretch that rippetoe talks about before my squat sessions. lemme see if i can find a pic.
side view
front view
go as deep as you can and then position your arms like that and then push your elbows out so you are stretching those inner muscles. it always helps me to do this so i can get a feel for going deep. my body is kinda dumb and needs a daily reminder. lol
nice workout, too! i hope the trip to houston isnt too annoying. also, that gym looks amazeballs.

Geek THANK YOU!! I totally forgot about that stretch. I was totally discombobulated by the time I got to the gym today. I will make a note in my notebook to do that stretch next squat day.
Trip to Houston will be fine. Just long. Maybe I will go lift Sunday and then I won't feel bad!
DM, I agree that flexibility has a lot to do with it. My left hip is way tighter than my right and I have to really think about keeping level and not letting one side dip more than the other.Spoon Barbell Club

Let’s just call this a reload workout. Well the next 2 workouts I do this week will be. I have been having chore issues the last 4 mornings. My milk pump has been acting funny, very frustrating. But I think Hubs fixed it. So my frustration level in the am has been pretty high. Plus I did 4 full body workouts in 7 days. So I am thinking the other 2 workouts I do this week will be lighter. I am going to cut put the arm tri set for the next 2 as well. My mind was just not in it this morning. i just didn’t feel like I could do it. So I think a slight break will be good.
I did spend some time today working on getting to parallel on BW squats and doing the squat stretch. My inner thigh and hip muscles are very tight. Plus I cheat when I sit down all the time. I am going to have to retrain my hips to sit right.

Thank you for your input RB? Need to bring my milk crate. Out of curiosity why do you recommend box squats? Also do you fully sit or just touch your bum on the box.
Slow down is one thing I am working on, as well as mind muscle connection. But I think the 2 go hand in hand.Spoon Barbell Club

I do that stretch Geek posted when I'm resting between sets at the gym for anything, leg day, back day, chest day, etc. It becomes very easy to do and sit in that position for longer periods if you do it all the time. People will bert stare though and wonder if you're either meditating or hurt lulz. Nice job on the squats JJ, looked pretty good IMO!
