I saved your log with squat booty.

[ChaseT]

More of a bench press booty, isn't it?

[Link815]

It comes in pretty handy when you can lift your hips two inches off the bench and your cheeks are still touching.

[koyongi]

My log is so sad.


Crossfit Friday:

Split Jerk:
Worked up to 145, failed a few at 155.
Hit myself in the chin with the bar while warming up, it hurts.

1 mile team run, girls had a 60# bag, guys had a 100# bag.
Less than 10 minutes, not terrible.

Basketball cone drill, six stations, 3 rounds.

[Link815]

There, I fixed it!

Is this the first time you are lifting with a suit? Don't remember you ever doing anything in equipment, I thought you were raw only. Are you planning to do an equipped meet?
But in any case ... Muhahahaha ... Welcome to the Dark Side, hehe.
But really Nice lifts, with your raw strength where it is you should get well into the 400's with the suit.

Yeah, that was my first attempt at a squat suit. I was pretty pleased, actually. 335 flew up easy both times, and 365 still didn't feel heavy on my back, which is what I was really worried about. I think I could come pretty close to 400 by the time the Olympia gets here, we'll see!



And...

Crossfit Wednesday:

Team of 4(ish) Girls:
100 DL (185)
100 Burpee Pull Ups
75 Thrusters
100 Double unders each
4 laps around the parking lot with 65# Barbells in each hand

I ended up doing almost half the deadlifts, but I planned for that. The farmer's carry was ridiculous, because Lee put the bumper plates out at the ends of the bars so the bars would get scuffed up when you bailed. That made it about 50x harder to balance, as if farmer's carries with barbells aren't hard enough already...

That's just what this log needed. Somebody needed to make good on the promises of booty pics.

[DanielBeauchamp]

You're probably one of the strongest gals I've ever seen, koyongi. haha

Subbing to this.

Please note, that is MY old singlet Link is sporting. It's actually kind of sad he could get his legs in it, they were always a little tight on me.

Nice. Those things are pretty stretchy. I have one just like that from when I weighed 25lb less that I am going to be putting to use here in a few weeks.

[Link815]

They stretch, my legs are pushing 30" at the top, and it's only a medium. It's just that the arm holes weren't getting nearly high enough.

[Link815]

And now for the moment you've all been waiting for.. I present to you squat booty!

[skiboy1955]

I'm BLIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Schism45]

I'm blind not dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

[hmotb555]

LOL!

Hilarious!

Koyongi, I can only hope to put up the numbers you do someday...I have a long way to go but I'm working on it....I hope to get into a powerlifting meet within 2-3 years. Do you train at a regular gym or do you go to a PL gym?

[koyongi]

At least you guys weren't actually THERE...and sadly, I've probably seen much worse.

LOL!

I've been training at a PL gym for about a year and a half now, Wild Iron Gym in Santa Clara, CA. Before that, I trained alone mostly, sometimes had good training partners.
Why wait so long to do a meet? I'd always recommend people do one sooner than later. The things you'll learn and the people you'll meet there are more beneficial than you'll ever know!


And...

Overhead press:
5@bar

Oh you're in socal like me! Yeah where I live I would have to travel to LA to find a powerlifting gym. I want to wait because my lifts are nowhere near competitive. It probably won't be as long as 3 years, but my right now I'm focusing on increasing my lifts. Hopefully I can find a trainer or a PL gym that can help me get my strength up and increase my lifts. I would definitely rather do it sooner than later but I wanna be somewhat "ready" when I go

Nice work in here, miss.

[BodyBldgPwrLftr]

Becky, I was just catching up on your log. Those photos are making me think it was a bad idea. LOL But seriously, what kind of gear are you using, and what is the event at Olympia that you're training for?

Yeah, Link likes to desecrate my log occasionally. I'm doing the USPF meet at the Olympia, it's an invitational, 15 men, 15 women. I lifted in the USPF quite a bit last year because it's pretty big out here, but there's no raw division. But, I was up for something new, so we're going to try gear for this one!

There's a few powerlifting gyms in LA, not sure where you are or how close you are, though. And don't worry, you're already "ready". Watch some meet videos, have someone give you commands and video you so you know if your lifts are legal, and get in there! There are USPF meets down there pretty frequently. The longer you wait, the more great stuff you're missing out on!

Nice work in here, miss.

Thanks.
