YAY!! I thought this sounded a bit nutty when you 1st talked about jeans hanging on your wall 24/7, but I bought a pair of my favorite jeans a size too small back in June & left them hanging in my...

At 1st I thought you were all excited about doing pull-ups. Then thinking you're in trouble. Now completely confused. Do tell? Hope you're okay : (

Feel free to send that unwanted broccoli to the east coast -- I swear it's my spin on Popeye's spinach :p

Wow -- you two are making me feel much better about my ridiculous inability to stand up between sets on the leg press! I always squat 1st & then do leg press & have to literally sit in between sets...

I'll come back for more later... but the part in bold made me smile oober-big. Sometimes word combos just pop in wonderful ways :-)

Tina,
Thanks for stopping by & welcome to the challenge!!

It is fun seeing Deads come up fast -- they're newer to me, so they're still improving faster. Love it :)

I'm not dieting as much at...

I come in here during my 5 minute study breaks & what do I see? Insulin, hormones, thermoregulation, blah, blah blah. That is NOT a break from my textbook!!! It's getting a little too PBS in here : p...

Thanks Pai! I'm working on it :) Join in the fun -- doesn't have to be a 200# squat -- pick something realistic for you. I had to pick something different for my deadlift goal since my numbers are a...

A guy at work was trying to decode...

Kim,
Deadlifts I KNOW I won't have to #315 anytime soon :p I started deadlifting a lot later than benching or squatting!!

New Goals by Thanksgiving -- Yay Turkey Day!

Kim, super happy to say leg day this morning kicked ass. No other way to put it :-) Finally broke the mental block of squatting heavier than 175# -- not sure why I got stuck there for a while, but...

I haven't actually disappeared -- school is just taking over my life! Had to revert to stalker-mode purely because of a serious time deficit! I totally know what you mean about the competitiveness!!...

You mentioned being disappointed about not getting a new dead-lift PR this week & not being able to max-out every week.

How often do you guys intentionally max-out or test your 1RM? Obviously...

Glad to hear the feline members of the Hobbes family are doing well :) Wet food is actually really good for cats... tons of moisture to keep them hydrated & keep their kidneys healthy (renal disease...
