Fat Girl Gets Fit

[thehobbes]

Wow those are some incredible 3RMs PR, way to throw down!

I'm a huge fan of Versa Grips or anything VG-like, x2 they're great on the accessories. I don't need to be worrying about my grip on pull ups and heavy ass rows. You can focus so much more on the actual lift you're doing and not your bloody callouses (calli?) ripping off. My hands get torn up enough just from bench press srs.

[Partyrocking]

Straps >> Gloves. Gloves just increase the width- making things harder to grip

Killing it with the new 3 rep maxes!!!!! Way to go!

Thanks! It's party time!

Awesome workout and great job on the 3 new maxes! More weight than I could ever dream of lifting

You humble me Vic!

Callouses suck. I file them twice a week and they still get on my nerves. I'd file them 3 times a week but I can't file them the day before I bench, so I only have two days a week where I can.

Mine never seem to get as hard as callouses can get. They always feel just soft enough to make me wonder if it's safe to clip them (I use nail clippers). Usually I'll just pick at/peel off the top layers as they get back enough to do so. lol

Mine get progressively worse during the week until they're so big that they get pinched when I'm lifting. I just use a pumice stone.

[anandagirl]

Nice PR on leg press! Hope you didn't have to use that machine LOL

[LunaLifts]

F*cking dying at the guy doing the "leg presses." Looks like he's just singing to himself, and not giving a damn.

Yay for the PR.

[viccles007]

LOL at that guy!! Great job on the leg press PR. That is an amazing weight!

[JenSTL4]

Holy leg press Way to go on that PR!! LOL at that dude doing leg presses. I love seeing those videos of people doing stupid chit at the gym and using the equipment totally wrong

I always assume if someone is gesturing towards me I forgot to wear pants, srs, then I have to check in a semi-panic.

I couldn't help myself when I saw that pic. Don't think the chest press machine at my gym could work for leg presses, but it would be fun to try.

We all know you purposefully "forget" your pants. Showing of your quads of rage

Seriously! I had no idea that was a thing. And pause squats followed by higher rep speed squats. No wonder you're such a badass

[FallenAngel80]

I need to bow down to you, squat queen! Only problem is I might not get back up as I did squats this morning lol

[thehobbes]

Paused Squats
5x45, 3x135, 3x11x185-rep PR

Oh these were hard.

Mirin' high rep squats, go go mighty Team Torture!

Oh god, really? But WHAT will I be giving birth to exactly? If a free tub of my favorite PWO pops out then ok, we're all good.

[viccles007]

Awesome squatting and congrats on the PR!

Oh Lord. Yeah, I have no idea if there's any validity to that post, but the picture was hilarous.

High rep squats are crazy. I swear they're harder than heavy singles.

I need to bow down to you, squat queen! Only problem is I might not get back up as I did squats this morning lol

My legs are so tight right now. The post squat-day struggle is real.

Mirin' high rep squats, go go mighty Team Torture!

I have a feeling you like being tortured. I'm usually just thinking, don't fall down, don't fall down.

Oh god, really? But WHAT will I be giving birth to exactly? If a free tub of my favorite PWO pops out then ok, we're all good.

I'm not sure. Given my diet, I might end up with like a tub of ice cream or something.

Awesome squatting and congrats on the PR!

Thanks

I can already feel the lat soreness coming. I'm going to end up being one of those people w/ Imaginary Big Lat Syndrome, I can tell

[anandagirl]

Holy crap! Your pullup game is legit! But screw you for taking away my excuse of being too heavy Now I have to just admit being weak

[Partyrocking]

Just say it's because you have long arms

I didn't do anything special. I'd just practice intermittently and as I got lighter, I'd get closer and closer and finally, BAM!

[FallenAngel80]

Nice one on the pull-ups! I tried one the other day when I was feeling all good about my chin-ups. I literally moved up an inch and could go no further lol!!

[anandagirl]

The difference between chinups and pullups is no joke. I don't think I have ever been able to do a real pullup, but could do a chinup when I was much younger and skinnier and like 9.

Totally normal. Your biceps can help a lot more with a chinup than a pullup.

I do mine neutral grip (or inverted). Feels best on my elbows.

[phoenix4444]

Killing at always.

Stupid elbows. I don't do pull-ups or chin-ups for that very reason. Also screw they screw with my right shoulder.

[Partyrocking]

Killing at always.

Thanks Buddy

Stupid elbows. I don't do pull-ups or chin-ups for that very reason. Also screw they screw with my right shoulder.

My elbows are usually pretty cooperative, but they take a pretty big beating over the week with all of the benching, curls, skullcrushers, etc. Neutral just feels the most natural, so I keep that grip when I can.

Now if only I had a tricep bar at the gym ... hnng!
