Sam Ashen Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Um second reply to this one but! YOU WERE THE REASON YOU STARTED LIFTING. My story just nudged you. I take 0% of the credit, you put in all the work! All you! All you! All you! <3 You're so humble. I will take all the credit for the actual lifting part, but the motivation came from you, my dear.

CourtnieMarie Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 We made really good progress for a long time, and then she got snapped at by a dog at a dog park and then after the dog snapped at her the owner hit her. That was a year ago and we still haven't recovered fully from it.wait, what?! the other owner hit madi?? there are so many things in your threads that i should be doing with my dog. just remember you're awesome to be giving her the love, attention, and training she needs! 1 Quote Instagram | pinterest read harder challenge | Battle Log | NROLFW Challenges: 13-1 | 13-2 | 13-3 | 13-3.5 | 14-1 | 14-2 | 15-1 | 15-2 | 15-3 | 15-4 | 15-5 | 16-1 | 16-2 | 16-3 | 16-4 | 16-5 | 16-6 | 16-7 | 16-8 | 17-1 | 17-2 | 17-3 | 17-4 | 17-5 | 17-6 | 17-7 | 17-8 | 17-9 | 17-10 | 18-1 | 18-2 | 18-3 | 18-4 | 18-5 | 18-6 | 18-7 | 18-8 | 18-9 | 18-10 | 19-1 | 19-2 | 19-3 | 19-4 | 19-5 | 19-6 | 19-7 | current Link to comment
elvenengineer Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I missed that the first time. Someone hit your dog? After THEIR dog snapped at her? Um? What? That is.... not an acceptable response. Especially for a dog as adorable as Madi. Seeing her in pictures on your Instagram warms my cold, currently dog-less heart.

spezzy Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 wait, what?! the other owner hit madi?? there are so many things in your threads that i should be doing with my dog. just remember you're awesome to be giving her the love, attention, and training she needs! I missed that the first time. Someone hit your dog? After THEIR dog snapped at her? Um? What? That is.... not an acceptable response. Especially for a dog as adorable as Madi. Seeing her in pictures on your Instagram warms my cold, currently dog-less heart. Yeah. Unfortunately - she was 7 months old at the time, it was an adult dog and she ran over to it and jumped on it, playfully, but didn't give a proper greeting. It startled the other dog, that snapped at her, so she reacted, and the dog's owner pulled madi away and hit her. Reallllllly terrible situation all around. We don't go to dog parks anymore, it's not worth the risk. Quote Current Challenge - Instagram “There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind.” Link to comment
CourtnieMarie Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 definitely a terrible situation and completely inappropriate. ugh, sorry you guys had to go through that! i would absolutely lose my sh*t if someone did that to TJ. glad you're working through it though and finding alternative fun things for madi 1 Quote Instagram | pinterest read harder challenge | Battle Log | NROLFW Challenges: 13-1 | 13-2 | 13-3 | 13-3.5 | 14-1 | 14-2 | 15-1 | 15-2 | 15-3 | 15-4 | 15-5 | 16-1 | 16-2 | 16-3 | 16-4 | 16-5 | 16-6 | 16-7 | 16-8 | 17-1 | 17-2 | 17-3 | 17-4 | 17-5 | 17-6 | 17-7 | 17-8 | 17-9 | 17-10 | 18-1 | 18-2 | 18-3 | 18-4 | 18-5 | 18-6 | 18-7 | 18-8 | 18-9 | 18-10 | 19-1 | 19-2 | 19-3 | 19-4 | 19-5 | 19-6 | 19-7 | current Link to comment

Sam Ashen Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Under what circumstances do you hit somebody else's dog? (let alone puppy) Hitting the offending puppy's owner / parent / human companion is another matter. Challenging her to a deadlifting duel is more honorable. 2 Quote Classless Human Male Warrior - Introduction Height: 1.77m Weight: 93 kg Spoiler Current Maxes: (repsxkg) Squat: 10x122.3, 5x138.2, 3x147; 1x170 Bench Press: 10x79, 5x93, 1x102 Deadlift: 10x152, 5x192, 3x210, 1x229 Overhead Press: 10x52, 5x61, 1x70.3 Current Battle Log: 1707 Sam Ashen Summer Swole Program 2017 Challenges: 1701 1702 1703 1704 1705 Previous Challenges: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1603 1604 1605 1606 1607 1609 1610 1611 1612 Daily Log:The Daily Grind Form Check: Stronglifts Olympic More FC's: Pistol Squats Want to play?

skinNbones Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I assumed I'd just read that wrong ! Hitting someone else's dog is unbelievable.

Shukar Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 As might some owners. Hitting my dog would be a good way to get yourself hit.

Bullroarer Took Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Great Lifts! I also agree leash free dog parks are not worth the risk. I have one rescue with a little puppy PTSD and another that is fine with dogs but may not respond well to humans. They used to be my running partners and some of the worst shin splints ever have been from their poor leash skills causing me to have to lean back against their pulling.

spezzy Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Looks like a good workout. How did the deadlift feel? heavier than it should feel for that weight, but better than last week, and last week I did 6 singles at 315, and this week I did 3 singles above 315 - so progress? 225 felt lighter than it's felt in months, and that was at a 3" deficit double overhand, so that's a plus - and is encouraging that I'll get back up to the 4's soon. 2 Quote Current Challenge - Instagram “There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind.” Link to comment

spezzy Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hiii so I'm still around, just really been crazy busy. As in, the NerdFitness team has been in town and I've been working like 16 hour days. But everything has been going great. I was able to meet a bunch of people Friday and Saturday night, and then spent all day Sunday filming with Jim from BeastSkills.com on a NF Academy project. Today I'm a bit sore but totally worth it. Headspace - still haven't done once D:On time - I'm hitting about 80% now, which is better than my 0% before. Going for 100% this week (was early today!)Food! Tracking made me realize I'm not eating nearly enough. Massively increasing calories starting today. Purchased white board for fridge so now I track as I go without needing my phone.madi - yup. last few days haven't been able to, and we had an intense behaviorist meeting today so she's refusing to leave the house, but in general we've been on track with this! 4 Quote Current Challenge - Instagram “There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind.” Link to comment
