    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Look at the door frame near her leg.

Wow... Good eye.

Maybe it isn't photo shopped. Maybe it's the gravity of her leg bending light?

Your max on squat might be what the girl is using the get warmed up for her squats.

Highly unlikely this is ever going to be motivational to me but could be a good incentive for some.
I don't give a damn what others squat and will carry on doing my thing.
I prefer to be called 'H' ;)

Hell yeah.

I've heard some pretty funny stories about Captain Kirk. Ed Coan wasn't kidding in Power Unlimited when he said he'd have to take the 5th.

Ah, so that's the secret to a big bench, use fake plates.

The doorframe is bent outwards along the same curve as her legs, which in real life aren't nearly that jacked, I think she's a crossfitter or something.

Yeah, I see that. Looks to me as if someone used the liquify tool on Photoshop, I know people use it a lot for changing the size/shape of someone's body.
