I imagine sleeping in a bra would be really uncomfortable, as would walking around without one on, ****ing hurts walking down the stairs.

I guess if you share your room with your brother or something, but wearing a bra to bed still seems weird to me! There are 3 males in my family and I never have.

I wasnt very clear but I meant that comment in terms of actually walking around the house without a bra, sleeping braless wouldnt be awkward, i just prefer not to.

Managed to get 90kg 3x5 today after failing to complete all reps on Wednesday. Will upload the 2nd set later.

I guess you have boobs then. All this bra talk is making me feel weird as I always had small boobs to start with and now my body fat is much lower I have even less boobs (although I still have a bit of a butt left but I'll rather have boobs than a butt ). My bust is quite small to the point that often I go out without wearing a bra (depends on what type of top I am wearing) .

Squats I presume? Great work. That's the same as my last set of 3x5

You'll overtake me soon, it always happens.

Yeah, having to get smaller bras was depressing and expensive!

Beast! Can't rep you again! How hard was it on a scale of 1-10?

Um, 6-7. I was slow coming up, but I never felt like I'd fail any of the reps; unlike Wednesday when I didn't feel confident about it at all. As much as I hate hearing people say it, sometimes I thing a lot of it is in the mind. If I managed 87.5kg 3x5 a couple of sessions ago and they weren't too hard, there's no real reason why I'd be incapable of 90kg for at least one set of five. Still having problems keeping my knees the hell out.

Those looked easy.

Guy behind you "spotting" looked like he was just checking you out and hoping you'd fail so he'd get to grab...


What's your max ever squat? You'd be able to smash out 100 for a few easily by the looks of that...

I'm not sure why I made that comment, because it's not as if beating you would be some great achievement given the obvious genetic advantage, and it's not exactly some great shame for me either because it's more that you've worked really hard and achieved a big squat than it is me being useless (I'm just out of practice really, but getting there).

TLDR: Great job!

EDIT: Just watched the vid and they look pretty smooth. I reckon you'd have at least 95 for a single set of 5, no problem.

Talking about physiques, was just watching clarence0 on youtube again.
1 - why can't our uni gym be like theirs.
2 - wish he went to my uni
3 - **** he's strong. I want to start training daily as well, so maybe one day I can squat what he snatches.

I can't watch him without weeping

This I think. I got 90x1 ages ago and maybe 92.5kg for a double, again ages ago. I hope to get 100kg whilst I'm still on SS. I haven't gained any weight in the ~4 weeks that I've been back at this and I only started eating to maintenance earlier this week. I'm prepared for the weight gain.

Lol, don't worry about it.

I've been going up in 2.5kg for squats for the last couple of weeks, so I'll see if I can get it sometime next week.

It's so true about the mental aspect. I've recently started really firing myself up mentally for all my lifts. The problem with it is that it's really tiring to do that all the time!

Anyone catch the British Seniors WL today? Why are the best girl weightlifters so tiny?? Is it just the advantage of having the bar proportionally so much higher to start with?

Just came across (no pun intended) a new weightlifting babe: Sara Alemanno.

[Michael XYZ]

I'd let her C&J me any day.

I'd like to see HER snatch.
