WTF is that weirdo in the blue shirt doing behind you?

And how do I get a spotter like that???

Just find the strongest guy in the gym and teach them how to spot correctly.

Skipped deadlifting today to do a breast cancer walk with my Mom. She's celebrating her 10th year being cancer free!

Thanks guys, I'm so proud of her Also during the walk, I convinced her that she needs to squat. She is very close to buying into it.

Sumo deadlift
135 x 5
145 x 5
155 x 3
175 x 1
185 x 1 PR
195 x 1 PR
205 x 1 PR
215 x 1 PR
225 x F

Notes: Had a long day that was extremely frustrating. Couldn't get into the gym during my normal time and had to go after class around 9pm. I'm an old lady and this was too late for me. It definitely affected my energy levels.

215 felt pretty good, but 225 just left the floor a tiny bit and then I got stuck. I still need to learn how to grind out sumo pulls. I don't usually pull so heavy before a meet but I really wanted to know what I was capable of before going in this Saturday. I hope to at least try 225 again and get it.

Didn't realize you were doing a meet this Saturday! Good Luck!!

Yep! I signed up to compete at 132, but unless I stop eating cheesecakes for dinner I'll probably lift at 148.

Thanks for the well wishes. As usual, I will put a meet write-up and video afterwards.

Best of luck and nice pulling!

We've all been watching you grow way stronger these past few weeks. There's no question you're gunna nail 225. Remember the number 1 rule of the PL club haha

Thanks Matt. It means a lot!

We've all been watching you

It's true we have.

On topic: Real nice lifting, and good luck!

Good luck at the meet this weekend. I guess you have to lift in a singlet but it would be awesome if they'd let you lift in costume given that this is Halloween weekend.

lol, you're just jealous that Matt gets to train with me and you don't

Thanks!!

Thanks, and I thought about doing something Halloween related but in the past competitions, no one has done anything fun/crazy. I'd end up just looking like an ass.

I agree! I have a meet this coming weekend too and wouldn't it be freaking fantastic if we were allowed to lift in costume? That said, one COULD put on zombie makeup or something. Hahaha. I have an Amy Winehouse wig I would look straight up ridiculous pulling in.

WC, you know I'm super excited for you. You've been doing so well, and I'm so happy you have a chance to show your work off this coming weekend!

Haha, I would be more inclined to dress up in costume if you were there too.

Thanks, I'm excited for the meet! I'm also excited for it to be over. I need a deload!!

And you're putting in a lot of good work. Kudos.
