    Youbet33's lift off from OL LAX

    I found that doing (medium heavy) split squats instead of squats once a week helped me to recruit the glutes/hams a lot better during squats, and fixed my form problems (which was mostly "falling forward" on the way up, but also that my knees came in a bit).

    The charity meet I competed in on Friday was a success. It was super fun, I was only the second weakest, but still got a medal since I was the only one in my division.

    Thanks, wasme! I decided to take yesterday off from lifting. Didn't sleep well the two nights before, and couldn't pry myself out of bed. Plus, it's too cold here in Dallas!! The cold weather is not motivating me at all. Hence turned my tuesday/thursday cardio days into lazy days as well. On...

    Thanks! I'm pretty stoked about it, and still a bit in disbelief, too. Didn't think I'd get there until next year.

    Pretty good so far, thanks for asking. There is still a bit of stiffness just below my neck that I only feel when I try to stretch those muscles.
