Always 💪🏻😏🤣 thank you 🥰

Thank you! 🤣 I didn’t even post the lying leg curls gif Bc it seemed inappropriate 😂. Anyway, just now realizing I could have done single leg curls too 😑 damn!

Same, most of my weight loss was when I was at 800 calories a day. Granted I’m much shorter than you but idk how I did it for so long. I will say my relationship with food has healed almost entirely.... I realized recently o don’t consider any food good or bad, and I never say things like I had a bad week. I used to do…

I’ll be honest that’s a sore spot 😂 One that my coach is always giving me *kitten* about. I eat about 1620 a day and both my strength and nutrition coaches want me at around 2200. I also, don’t need anyone chiming in here telling me that’s too low.... I’m aware, I struggle with the increase mentally but am working on it.…

A little bit of yesterday’s light legs, still recouping from those deadlifts, so decided light weight was best. Did box squats, sumo and canon ball squats on the Smith, Leg Presses, Lunges, Leg Extensions and Lying Leg curls. Added in single legs to the Presses and extensions, thanks to @kinetixtrainer2 and when I say I’m…

Jealous of these tall people problems!!! Solely because if I was tall I could eat so much more food 😂🤣😂

Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This is why I record all my squats, I swear I’m always *kitten* to grass and then see I didn’t even hot depth 😤 my hip do lie 🤣 excuse me while I find myself hysterical 😂😂😂

Same my gym has a 13 year rule as well.

I think she could start now! My 14 year old has been lifting for a year and doing amazing. My 6 year old meets with my coach but does very very light dumbbell work, just to start familiarizing him with the equipment and form and more so to start making it a habit, he also begs to do it Bc of me and his brother 🤣

Great job and wonderful form 👏🏻👏🏻

This looks fun! Is it like a boot camp type thing?

I mean more so doing rack pulls alone wouldn’t equate to a 1:1 match on the full movement.... you’d have to alternate both to strengthen a conventional dead. But if not aspiring to compete or be a PWL it wouldn’t really matter so makes sense for a BB.

No not really and I’m still not in qualifying range on the press medley, luckily I didn’t need it to qualify for the meet. My log is at 85 I gotta get to 105 and my CBD single hand clean and press is 45 and needs to be 50. I did get the shot and am now more scared to push so that isn’t helping either 😕

This all makes a lot of sense and I do like the working on the diff pieces of the movement. Also, my coach does have me do the DL lifted on wooden blocks a few weeks before I attempt a new weight, he always said it trains the nervous system to bear the heavier load. I’m assuming that is technically the same as a rack pull.

So it’s so hard to say, the tires are 500 and 250 and the platform is heavy on its own. It’s not entirely the same as lifting off the ground though Bc it’s tilted so my coach is estimating about 350. The novice men are lifting a Prius and the non novice groups use heavier vehicles, it’s so fun to watch!

This makes sense specifically because BB’s don’t need strength so I understand why they would do it for sure.

OMG.... I officially qualified for my meet this weekend! Which meant hitting the numbers for at least 4/5 events. I did not think I’d get one deadlift, with both tires loaded, but managed 14, 10 under 60 😱. I wish I went a little less hard Bc I only needed 1 to qualify and I am still hurting from it, but proud nonetheless.…

Thank you!!!! 😁😁😁😁

Great job!!! Honest question Bc I always wondered this.... what is the benefit of a rack pull over a conventional DL? Is it Bc the weight can be a bit higher since it is higher or just similar to partial movements focusing more the top half of the deadlift? Wondering if after my strongman meet I should add them to my split.

Thank you!!!!! 😁😁😁

I guess so but with side grip. My coach is trying to replicate the car deadlift platform, Bc the form is slightly different and I need to perfect it if I’m going to hit the weight they want. You are sort of supposed to push backwards on a lean like a leg press. It’s so hard for me, I guess Bc it’s so new. I’ll just keep on…

Strong af girl, when I do squats alone I seem to always go so much lower than what I do with my coach standing there. How do you force yourself to keep getting higher? Maybe it’s just a mental block I have.

Super psyched!!! So many PR’s last night... got my working sets up to 165 for front squats and 3 new PR’s for my deadlift, the last one was 270 lbs, which is well over the 2x body weight goal I had set for myself 😁 My coach said the tire was about 300 which makes sense now Bc this didn’t feel as hard as I feel like it…

That is silly but I also get it 😂 I do the same and I can’t even define what the amount is lol

I agree it always feels strange to me also, I used to bruise a lot but the. It just sort of stopped, not sure if I just got used to it or just don’t notice it anymore lol. Either way form looks great!

Feel free to spam anytime 😍😂👏🏻 Also, loving how you do the single leg extensions and curls.... I’m gonna try adding that!

I love all this advice!!! I often wonder about fill extension and the pros/cons and also am gonna try the foot placement!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love starting a new split.... it gets me all optimistic 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣 thank you beautiful! I will say I’m sore AF today and my poor chest is all cut up and briused 🥴😖🤣 but I seem to love this *kitten* so it’s fine ☺️ I wish you were closer so we could lift together!

Thank you 😂🤣 technologically challenged 🙋🏼‍♀️😬
