COD sucks. If they must waste their time they should at least play bf3

The baby-eating is indeed a form of post-workout (I believe) supplementation, or so the story goes. The nickname was earned after demonstrating I-eat-babies level intensity at the gym. Said intensity is partially to ward off undergrad bros from making conversation. In case you're wondering, no, it doesn't really seem to work. They're relentless, those kids.

She is also stronger--and a better lifter--than 99% of the guys at our gym. This is one of the many advantages to dating the Babyeater; she's not a skinny-fat girl doing Pilates for "toned" muscles, which is a good thing. And dating someone who understands training intensity is a welcome change of pace; she doesn't just tolerate my training. In most things in life, I am meek and reserved (though that's not to say that I lack confidence), but in training, I have a strong mindset and unwavering self-belief. It is nice to be with someone who can understand that mindset.

And without going into much detail, her strength, beyond being impressive, has additional advantages. Mmmm...

It's awesome that you have a lady like this. My girlfriend is trying to lose weight right now (which I support) but someday I hope she gets into serious strength training and comes to understand why I devote my life to strength. But she is supporting and almost always comes out to support me when I compete.

But yes, I can agree with you, having a strong girlfriend is fun. I remember having a friends with benefits deal with a chick a few years ago who does BJJ/Krav and yes, being strong does have it's advantages in the bedroom :icon_twis

Oh, and good lifting. I lurk on this log a lot but rarely post.

You should have seen the amount of food I ate at cracker barrel on the way back from this day!

Also, Kyle, I wish we could trade heights. I hate being taller than guys. I'm about an inch taller than Goon. Made prom really awkward.

You are all children :icon_lol:

Support has never been a prerequisite--mere tolerance, for me, has traditionally been enough--but this is indeed quite nice. It's also pretty new for me, and to be perfectly honest, I had very little in the way of a support system for my training until maybe a year and a half ago. That's when I got serious about posting on here, recruited a new training partner, and began competing in NASA. So, a lot has changed in a short period of time. I am actually really blessed right now to have this amount of support for my training.

And thanks--I do a lot of lurking-but-not-posting myself, so it's perfectly fine.

Nice, quick easy workout. My dumbbell press is improving, as I think I was probably good for 10-12 reps on my first set with the 100s. I fatigued quickly with those, but I at least seem to be improving steadily.

whoa 3x BW! Congrats.

 

[livingdeadmoose]

Congrats on the PR's! That's some strong squatting.

 

[Keosawa]

Thanks. Both sets were brutal, ugly grinds. I'm sort of glad I didn't film today, because these probably looked horrific.

Psh, I'd rather have your ugly squats then my pathetic squats.

Exactly.




Btw,

I'm come to this log for 5 things,

Squats

Deads

Newdz

Keosawa generally being all kinds of awesome and downplaying it.

More newdz.

 

[Keosawa]

I've got these weird stomach veins popping up, and I'm tempted to post a photo of it. They're slowly multiplying, and it's starting to look sort of weird, yet fascinating.

You just might get lucky later, belph.

Maybe so, but if I box-squatted regularly like I did on my max attempt today, I'd be in a walker in no time.

I don't know what I am, exactly. But I think now might be a good time for some progress pics. I know Knuckle's been waiting patiently.
