the comp results make it easier to believe, in the caption to the vid i think they mention the 215 DL, which is what's listed on those results. 537.5 total is really good for a dude, let alone a lady of any size, let alone a lady who weighs less than i do!
ETA: she has the second-best reshel score (like a wilks score) in that competition, and the next-closest person is also a woman from argentina. interesting. only better dude is someone we should probably be following on YT, if he indeed has videos: jaco de waal, who totaled 815 at 82.5.
beast for sure.
ETA2: makes me want to train for power lifting. must snap out of it.

hard to believe that's real. the equipped world record for women in the 72 class is 255, or 25kg less than what she's allegedly squatting there. raw world record is 186, almost 100kg less! anything is possible, i suppose, and if it's real then god help us all.

RSR proves to be much more demanding than i what i thought when seeing it on paper.
Legs are constantly tired. Moar sleep&food, must stretch/SMR too.
lolduh.

i mean i can't quite figure out if those reps are crappy or not. they felt fine as i was doing them, very stable and easy, not even a lower back pump, let alone pain or discomfort. and i don't think i'm waggling my hips. but the tilt...looks weird.

here are today's squats. you can see the lean pretty clearly. need to correct it. some of it may just be the fact that my right shoulder is lower than my left. some is clearly more serious than that, though.
EDIT: may not look it with the angle but these are all below parallel.

EDIT 2: for an imperfect comparison, here is 350x1 from fall 2013.

no worries, b. i got a little jump start on it tonight, see below.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a little, left shoulder bugged at one point and then was okay
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- DLRVJ submax: one-step x 2; two-step x 2; three-step x 2; four-step x 6
reached with both hands on most reps, but hit a very relaxed 33 on one of the four-step jumps. that's good.
- LTMP SKWAAAAT
-- gentle stretch: hip flexors inside and out, hamstrings, glutes (pigeon), quads, calves, lats x 30s,15s
-- squat 195 x 20
meant to go to failure, per the LTMP volume blog post, but 20 was a lot more than i thought i'd get (true failure might have been ten more reps! who knew i had that in me?) and i'm still a bit concerned about my form, so i cut it off there.
- stretch

not really a plyometric exercise, more akin to a jump squat. kellyb has advocated that kind of weighted BSS jump, i think, although when i've done them before i've split the weight into two lighter DBs, rather than using one held at chest level.
EDIT: lost that bar forward like whoa. you're up on your toes almost immediately. are your submax squats also biased forward?
