Haha, I had no butt after being a cardio bunny! One day I looked down and was like wtf happened?!?
 
Kat when you do a back pose try doing a relaxed back with your shoulders back and lats flared, this will be a much better indication where you stand. I have attached a photo of what I mean.

I agree with Wrivest, leg extensions can be brutal on your knees. My vote on knee sleeves are the Rehbands. I've tried the Kono's in the past but they ended up splitting and losing all compression after about 3 months. The Rehbands are comfortable and have been a real knee saver.

I second the Rehbands. If they haven't already been seconded. Behind on the log and need to catch up. Nice work ladies. Still killing it.

OT:

I really love my new job! My coworkers are so awesome to me, and even though I've only been there for a week, customers are already asking for me and coming in to just see me. Sooooo awesome and weird at the same time.

My dilemma-
Another job called me for an interview and I booked it for the 9th because I wanted to spend some time and think about it. I wish that they had called me before I took this job. It's better pay, pertains more to my degree, and closer to home.

Money is not everything but I don't want to miss a good opportunity, too. I don't know, I'm torn...

Just interview it and feel it out. Money isn't everything but it definitely is a consideration. Although with how you spend money you are going to want to make a decent amount. LOL You are ALWAYS buying something new. Not hating just jealous. LOL

By going with Titans, made better same exact cut and a better price... Titan cloned the original Rehband design with the thicker 7.5 mm neoprene when Rehband stopped making them for a little bit a while back. They added double stitching to increase the strength and length of life on them. Check em out here. Invalid Link Removed

Here is a pretty good video reviewing and comparing Rehband, Tommy Kono's and SBD and Titans - in the end He recommends SBD or Titans if you want to hear what he says regarding the Titans and Rehbands it is somewhere around the 14 minute mark.

Thank you, Kleen and lol.... I cut my spending habit. It was getting out of control. I have clothes that still have tags on them. I'm saving up for my next big purchase... Well, my next 2 big purchases. 1.) A new car. 2.) A trip to Korea/Japan.

:D
 
Hadn't heard of Titan before, I'll have to look into them. Compared to the Kono's, the Rehband 7mm were tons better with the double stitching as well. The Rehbands have done be very well, but I could always use a backup pair just in case!

Whew! It's been a busy day! I went in this morning at 5 to train but haven't had any time to log...still not able to do certain exercises like squats due to my back. Hope to go see someone tomorrow to work it out.

Attempted a circuit but it was taking up too much room so I just did supersets

Superset:

Incline bench
45x12
65x10
85x8- sadly struggled so I dropped
75x10
80x8, 70x8, 60x8 drop set

Leg extensions
50x10
90x10
110x10
130x10
130x10, 110x10, 90x10 drop set
130x10, 110x10, 90x10 drop set
(Last drop set was actually later in the workout)

Superset 2
Hammer strength shoulder press
45x10
70x8
70x10
80x6
75x8, 65x8, 55x10

Close grip bench
45x12
65x10
75x8
75x8
75x8, 65x8, 55x8 drop set

SS 3
Front/side lateral raises
10x12/10x12
15x10/15x10
15x10/20x8
15x10, 10x10, 7.5x10 drop set (front)
20x8, 15x10, 10x12 drop set (side)

Straight bar pushdowns (tri's)
35x10
42.5x10
42.5x10
42.5x9, 35x10, 30x10 drop set

Pec deck flyes
85x8, 75x8, 65x8 drop set

I think that's it...

Energy has been much better in my workouts...strength just seems so low on all pressing. Back doesn't seem as drastically effected. Next week I will start a GVT program though. New adventures....

They are great and for less money it is hard to beat. Everyone tells me they are identical.

Now the SBD's are totally bad ass. That is what my elbow sleeves are and I love them. He bought his 2 sizes down so that is why his was so hard to get on. I think one size down would be more than enough unless you are trying to get that extra weight from them. If I were going to compete in RAW then I might get 2 down but for training there is no need for that. I mean hell if you want that much spring just wrap your knees, it is less work and less inconvenience than trying to drag them up when 2 sizes smaller than they should be.
 
Ahhh, rehbands are so pricy!
 
Ahhh, I watched too much.... Invalid Link Removed
 
Put up some pics of my trainee who is competing on Saturday in my log if anybody want to have a look.

Do you not have Wifi most places? I watch stuff on my phone. Not a ton but I never even get over 2.5 GB because I have wireless everywhere.

Lol, I do but it's just more convenient for me to use my data. Somehow my wifi is slower than my data...

Ahhhh, buffing! Haha


Lol, you guys are bad!
 
I figured I use my work phone as a hot spot when my wifi is going slow to watch netflix on my tv. I have no idea how much data that burns because I don't ever see that bill. My work has unlimited data. My personal is on a 10 gig share plan with 4 people on it.

Ok, so I was watching the Crossfit Games today (I know, I know) and I was paying attention to their deads. What style are they doing? Have I been doing it wrong all along?!?!! Their butts are up high, whereas my butt is a lot lower.

Butt position is whatever is comfortable and still allows you to maintain proper shoulder positioning (over the bar) and flat back. Hip mobility and hamstring flexibility are the two main contributors to this.

They are allowed to hitch, so they aren't punished if their ass is up there flapping in the breeze. It's impossible to lock out a heavy weight if your butt shoots up unless you're built to pull that way. Also, if they're doing reps, It's touch and go. Your hips are always higher from rep 2 on if you do touch and go.
 
I just bought some of these. I hope they will help me with my form.

I want some of these, but yates84 says I'm not lifting "enough" yet. So, I've started squating & deadlifting barefoot. He has a pair though & loves them. I got them for him over a year ago & they have held up really nicely!!
 
I got a pair of these for $45!!
Kinda ugly (lifting in bowling shoes :) ) but great price and they do the job!

Blah! I just got a text from my bank asking if I tried to use my card for $610 at a children's clothing store. Wtf do people do sh*t like this?!? We're all effn struggling and just trying to effn survive around here!!!!

lol, I already bought the Adidas. Thank you, though. I wish I would have know before I bought them. Right now, I'm praying to the porcelain God...

The Adidas are definitely a nice choice!!

I guess you had too much post-workout recovery drinks!
That kind of praying can do wonders for ab development from all the violent contracting!
