Leah's Log, life as a BBM lifter and coach

[LeahBBM]

@Dave_Hahn

Ugh, preach. I can totally relate to wanting a certain load to be an RPE 8! If you figure out how to will this to happen, please share

I can assure that these two ideas do not work: just deciding it is an 8 or arguing with Jordan that it really is an 8 simply because that’s what I wanted it to be

No, see, there are different types of 8s. There’s a soft 8, a hard 8, and the 8 I happened to fail on. It’s very nuanced.

[LeahBBM]

Sean, you understand my nuance. My coach tells my I’m off on this. I’m trying to be a more compliant lifter. Haha

I don’t mind them. I think my least favorite deadlift variation are paused deadlifts. Which is sort of odd, considering one of my favorite squat variations is paused squats. ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

My least favorite squat has to be front squats. If Jordan ever puts them in my program again, they’re not getting done! :p. My front rack position is straight garbage.

What’s your least favorite squat variation, Leah?

[LeahBBM]

@Dave_Hahn

Oh, least favorite squat??? It might be 5-3-0 tempo squats. I can tolerate just about every kind of squat, although sometimes on Day 3, my third lift-a squat variation, and at 7pm, everything crushes me.

Yea, I’m with you there on tempo squats. How could I forget? I guess I was blocking them out of my mind

Up until recently, I would squat on Day 4, third lift. No matter what it was, I never looked forward to it. Especially if it was a tempo squat.

Nice! Freedom units are the best units, Leah.

When you’re logging lifts with chains, do you include the approximate weight of the chain? I asked Jordan about it but he must have missed the question in my last update, then I forgot to ask again.

Ha, but comp KG plates are so beautiful.

I log the work with the weight of the chains.

[Dave_Hahn]

I can’t disagree. I’m pretty jelly you get to lift with those. So cool!

Thanks :).

Squat
145/320x2
152.5/336x1

Not going to lie. Knowing I needed to squat 320 for three doubles was kind of psyching me out all day. But it was fiiiiiine.
