Hows this template treatin ya? All of my compound accessory work is 5 reps but I think it's starting to snap my chit up

I was loving it for a good 3 months. I made a lot of strength gains running 531. In April when I had finally got back to squatting regularly I was still at 135 and now I'm able to do the same amount of reps if not more with 180. Pretty much everything went up including assistance/accessory work. I'll be writing out my new program this week because I'd like to get more serious my strength gains and focus on building a better lower body

[MiscDemeanor]

I wanted to use this session to kind of practice my form a little bit since I've noticed lately my heels come up during squats. Tried a couple sets with shoes and the rest without. I didn't like either! Idk what the deal is but I have to remind myself to stay on my heels more. Well good news is that I'll be squatting more from now on and I'll be able to get it down better

Yesterday's session:

Lower Body

Squats
WU sets
135 x 5 x 5

Leg Press
none because sh!t hurts my knees.

Walking BB Lunges
70 x 20 x 2

Good Girl/Bad Girl
45 x 20 x 2
superset because no one really needs a big rest on these. Love the way the abductor makes my outer booty feel though. Don't knock it til you try it! SRS

Single Leg Extension
55 x 12 x 3

Standing Calf
105 x 15 x 2
increased the weight on this finally

Horizontal Calf
110 x 15 x 2


I did just a tiny bit more volume on squats and my legs were like jello afterwards. Wtf? I was doing lunges and felt somewhat drunk lol. Please please please don't collapse and die in the gym Brittany. I also think I've inspired other people to do these...since I've been doing them I've seen 4 people doing the same thing. Yay for them! I won't be doing these once I start squatting more. That's enough rambling! byebye

I did a couple PT sessions last winter with a trainer who was a former elite gymnast and current powerlifter. She had me doing bb lunges all over the gym after squats and I pretty much wanted to die. They're no joke!

I really love it for the cardio. I get a good burn from them too but dripping in sweat afterwards makes me feel accomplished. I even got a gym regular to start doing hip thrusts! Now I'm not the only one looking like a weirdo LOL

Start saving your pennies and invest in some lifting shoes.

I was already considering. So Oly shoes? Or do you have any recommendations

[StephSkywalker]

I'm assuming Good Girl/Bad Girl is the Hip Abduction machines? Or am I wrong

[Anthonyxavcx]

Yup. Something with a solid sole and a raised heel.

mirin new avi

Lol no. That's what I call it because I have a hard time remembering what each one does. I first saw someone call them good girl/bad girl in a log a long time ago. Thought it was cute haha and tym

Yup. Something with a solid sole and a raised heel.

Alright as soon as I get off this broke time

If I had $200 I'd consider these but the $90 shoes probably just as good am I right?

Will definitely save my pennies for these. Thank you based Eric

Nice, I saw those around here too...I was thinking about buying instead of adipower, because they are expensive as phuck


what is the main difference between adipower and powerlfit?



also, britt, myron back shot on IG should be your avi, srs

[lee__d]

I never really had a problem with coming off my heels (I low bar btw), but I got a pair of Romaleos anyway to see if they would improve anything. Only use them for front squatting now, and they're not nearly a necessity for me.

You mean this one?

Mkay will change

I guess I don't see them as a necessity at all for someone who doesn't have the heel issue. I wouldn't think this would ever be an issue for a low bar squatter anyway. I've found a stance that works for me, I like how I point my toes out but I think if they came in just a little more I'd have an easier time staying on my heels. Whatever it is I'll figure it out

I've figured out that I have to point my toes really outwards so my kness track properly

[illiniStrive]

Ditto. My chucks have been working just fine (plus they're pink ).

Would rather have a new MK watch or KS heels tbh (good thing I can afford neither atm ).

[Bnizzle163]

Dat AVI .

Awesome work, Britt.

[Jen0va]

I was gifted a used pair of these by a PL club buddy who got new shoes. They have a lower heel than most which worked better for me than a full height heel and have ridiculously good ankle support. If you were contemplating dropping 200 on shoes, I might suggest these at 215 for excellent quality squat shoes.

Ironically they're sitting in my closet now since I've found that I squat better in chucks

[DottoreItalia]

Britt. Awesome work in here. Just read up on some of your log. I haven't been on BN.com for awhile but have been following along on IG as you know. Strong work. Mirin progress. Very motivational to show long term progress. Kudos.

I have to do this as well or else it just doesn't feel right.

Michael Kors? Yes please! I have so many watches I don't know what to do with them. I can't even walk in heels boots yes, heels I may need some assistance

Awesome work, Britt.

Thanks!!!

I've always squatted in chucks but I figured it wouldn't hurt having a good pair of pl shoes. I'm not willing to spend more than $100 because I'm going to be real here, I have bills to pay lol. I may try out the shoes Eric linked to see how I like them and if purchasing a more expensive pair is even worth it.

And dammit I've been wanting pink Chucks for so long now. Love chucks for deadlifts!

I had no idea you were following me on ig. Must have a totally different name? Thank you and make sure you follow my new log if I decide to make one!

Yes ma'am. Different name. @jnaugle82.

And I know that feel with chucks and DL and squats. Lol

[ErickStevens]

Keep the Chucks. Just work on your ankle mobility.
