Hahahahaha! Yeah, I'm not a fan of bikini either. I agree with you about the physique girls getting almost too big. I need to go look harder for vids from the figure girls, I saw some pics of them and thought maybe I should just become a figure fan and forget about physique lol. Like maybe I could get somewhat close to that natty at least?
ETA- like a chubby off season version of course lmao1 -
I keep thinking one day imam do it- and looking at the girls at the physique who won didn't look too big. I'm pretty big even though I'm super fluffy.TresaAswegan wrote: »Also- I'm watching the awards ceremony for bikini- "oh great suit selection"

But getting under 20% for me is super hard- and even then I would have another 15 pounds to go to get on stage- figure would have to be me. I'm way to big for bikini- and way to fluffy for physique- so that would be where I would have to go.
except. ugh- heels man- why.

As soon as I posted that I was like WAIT the heels, nope! lol
You wouldn't have anything near that kind of competition at a smaller/local show any way. You could probably do whatever division you wanted and crush them!0 -

You could add ten pounds to that if music wasn't edited.

Squat- 275x4x1, 285x1
Deads- 285x5, 300x1, 315x1
Deadlift rep pr I guess, but I was disappointed with the singles.
Making me question what I want to shoot for at the meet. 4 more weeks though, we shall see.
Definitely one of this days where I'm like screw it I'll just be a bodybuilder instead..... but then I remember how much I like pizza.
Sigh.8 -
@TresaAswegan Nice Work!!0

maybe- I haven't been to any of the shoes- but I've seen what my gym girls look like- which is funny #pettyforaminute- people fawn on them- the little stage groupies- and I just keep looking at them and chuckling in my head because they are so tiny.
They are leaner- far leaner than I am- but I'm easily twice the size of most of them- so it's just all very comical to me.
And then I repeat Grrrl Mantra- not my competition.
They are in there working- and it doesn't *kitten* matter- it's not a popularity contest LOL- I just keep squatting away.3 -

Here's deadlifts from last night. 515 moved very, very well.

I was sick as a dog 6-7 weeks ago and didn't train for a week. Squat? Oy, went down hard. 365 is a bytch now. Bench? Eh, went down a little, although that might be due to cutting a little bit of weight before my meet on the 25th. Deadlift? Up. :huh:
455x3. Didn't quite lock out the 3rd, but that was probably for 4 reasons: general fatigue; got a little lightheaded after the second, so I took another breath or two, but might not have been ready; tore a callus on my right middle finger which hurt like hell (wah); and TMI:shart.

@TR0berts we don't judge you- it happens LOL
@TresaAswegan did you see Crystal Tate's lift from the Arnold? someone just posted it up on another group- HOLYFKCSTICK.
She pulled 600 DL.
Her total number is now 1540.
I am in awe. Truly in awe.2 -

Holy crap, no I don't think I've seen that yet!
I follow a girl on IG who pulls 500+ and I think she's only totaled 1100+ @ 165. I thought she was hella impressive, but geeze. That's like double my total lol.
Now I'm drawing a blank on the name of the younger guy who's been squatting 1000+... Ray Williams? Crazy *kitten* there too. He was on Mark Bell's powercast a while back and was like yeah I usually lift alone and this and that. Just casually squats 1000 lbs by himself... Crazy.
Sometimes I have to remind myself most of the world doesn't even lift, and then I feel slightly less inadequate lol.4 -

I just saw this
It's crazy how excited people get when someone is lean haha. Body fat is such a trivial thing though. You could take top level bodybuilders and get them a lil over fat and people would blow them off because they don't have abs so they must not be that great.
I follow (was friends with but no longer) a girl who does bikini and has lost over 100 lbs. She looks great, but not bikini competition great. She's supposedly sub 15% bf but does not look it because she has so little muscle. All the comments "omg your legs/shoulders and sub par squat, you're so wonderful!" (she loves to post like "30 lbs above bodyweight!" and I'm always like b!tch, please! I'd like to think if I got down to 15% I'd look pretty decent lol)
(Maybe I'm just salty because not many people appreciate my slightly above average squat? )
I like eating all the food and being strong though.4 -
I have my USAPL State Referee test this Sunday! I'm actually nervous, because I get performance anxiety, which I know sounds odd from a guy who wears tight spandex that gives a good view ones package making the faces I make up on the platform odd, but there it is.7

Got the date for my second comp! May 13th - gonna bust out some PRs!5

Exactly!! I always am like- eh- YOU DON"T KNOW!!! But you're right- the rest of the world- not so much with the lifting- that's why I'm totally in love with the "not my competition" mantra- really trying to make that my actual soul and life mantra- it's hard sometimes- but there is always that stronger person- and then people who look up to you as some sort of swolemate freak of strength- but all of it is irrelevant. Just keep squatting away to be better.TresaAswegan wrote: »@TR0berts we don't judge you- it happens LOL

yeepppppp- I would be a liar if I didn't feel a little twinge of salt for similar reasons. But I just keep trying to go back to "no my competition"
but I would be happy if I had better shoulders- as if somehow that would make people take me more seriously LMAO1 -

Gots a lot of catching up to do! Lol0 -
Update time. At the beginning of last week, was in an accident not related to training. End result was a minor first degree sprain of my left mcl, and a first degree strain of all four muscles in my right rotator cuff. Exactly what you want to do two weeks out from nationals, right? Physio gave me clearance to lift at nationals but the original plan was that I wouldn't actually be lifting until the warm up room other than some benching with just the bar. Yesterday she gave me clearance to lightly load for yesterday and today. Major happy dance. Worked up to 50% squat doubles and 79% bench doubles.

Well. Disappointing workout.
Squats- amrap w/ 265x6, grinded it out for a rep PR.
Then 275x1
290x1
295x1 (video) to tie my body weight PR. Which is pretty dang good after an amrap and whatnot. But it was SUPPOSED TO BE 305 lbs, which would've been a lifetime PR. And I misloaded the bar, and was all pumped until I started loading up the bar for working deadlifts and realized my mistake.... almost wish I hadn't realized it. But oh well. Platform is where it really counts any way. (Would've been great for my confidence just to know I finally broke into the 300's for squat though)
And Deadlift- 305x5x1
Everything actually felt great, just sooo disappointed about misloading the bar.7 -

When I started this thread no idea it go 64 pages, which demonstrates just how under served actual lifters are on MFP.quiksylver296 wrote: »NikkiiBaby68 wrote: »Tara Tall...lmfao Rotfl...snorting.

...And peaking has come to a screeching halt...
A fire in the building that houses my gym has the place shut down until further notice. I have a few emails out to local gyms inquiring about week passes or something, but no guarantees. Was supposed to bench today, but nope. This meet is either gonna be interesting, or just flat out suck.0 -

I cannot bring myself to give this post a like or awesome. Sorry to hear that man. Hopefully there were no injuries in the fire. Good luck finding somewhere to train.0 -
Top set 1x5x435 Sumo Deads PR. Not an all time PR, but matched 5 reps at this weight whilst weighing nearly 20 lbs less. Misgrooved first rep and lacked some tightness IMO, but overall I'm happy.
