Beware the Jabberwocky!

[AbdominalSnoman]

That was some badassness. Congrats to both. Your squat form is teh suck.

AS - I like the location update. BTW, it didnt rain while I was in Seattle. I was fucking shocked.

 

[AbdominalSnoman]

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything, but it only rains when Liquid! is in town.

Why is your grip so wide when you dl?

My arms should be just outside my knees, I'm just more comcfortable with my feet slightly wider than normal for a conventional pull. I'll experiment bringing my feet little closer together.


You know what A.Snoman. Even every vaction I've taken in the past 1.5yrs, I've brought shitty weather with me too. I've got a black cloud following me. Somebody lift the curse. Well at least I helped out in Whistler BC. It snowedlike a mofo with I was there.


Time to make goals for the new year. I think squat form will be at the top of list.Ideasform now:
-fix back squat
-bench 315
-hamstring/ hip flexability
-get weight under 240lb
-scarfice chicken to Al Roker for some better weather.

how much do you weigh?

 

[DEVILsSON]

psstt...(borrow lusst's godzilla belt...)

 

[liquid!]

how much do you weigh?

256.....after X-Mas probably 260. The in-laws took muh pride in stuffing me with food daily. I was beginning to believe I was living in a Grimm fairy tale and they were just fattening me up...to eat me.

DS..I should have a magical belt made from the hide of a nuclear powered lizard or insect waiting for me at home.

Time to catch aplane to rainyland.

Liquid:

Does your gym have a safety squat bar? If so, you should use one. The bar forces you to keep your back straight (you cannot do a rep and good morning the weight at the same time). I think it would help your back squat a lot.

 

[liquid!]

^^^^ Sadly no = (
I do need a plan to fix my squats.

But today this was waiting for me when I arrived home:
-My XL magical Inzer lever belt
-3lb Very Strawberry WPI
-3lbs Vanilla Cream WPI
-3lbs Dutch Chocolate Complete Dairy Milk Protein
-1lb BCAAS from True Protein

WooHoo! Christmas all over again!

Does your lever close all the waon the inzer belt or does it stay open by a smidge? I am going to try to squat or ohp tomorrow so will see how the belt feels. I think its biggest use will be during squats....like godzilla himself spotting you...I tried it out at home with bw squats and it feels like i am wearing 3 belts....lol

 

[liquid!]

If you close the lever all the way it should be metal touching metal, thats closed. If you close it fast you should be able to hear metal on metal when it's shut.

I concentrated on pushing against the belt. Where in relation to your belly button should the belt sit? Just above the hips?

I was really tired today and felt pretty weak. I need a good nights sleep. And I had awesome DOMs from heavy BBS on Wednesday.

I just bought these bad boys on Ebay for the same price as a pair of vsa's. I was shocked to find size 14s. I'll admit it....I'm a gear whore.

More news: Also booked a flight to Costa Rica in March. I'm jazzed to go. The furthest I've been outside of the US is Canada (we all no that is just US-lite) and a border town in Mexico. If anyone has been there already, let me know what you liked there.
