You tripped on the elliptical? that is incredible. How is that even possible? I would pay a fairly low sum of money to see that ![]()
x2! Did your legs just give way? Great workout anyway. Given the amount of volume, how long do you typically stay in the gym?
How did your shoulders feel during/after?
I was looking at that article the other day, deciding if I should give it a go sometime⦠it looks scary enough to work!! ![]()
you seem to fit everything in nicelyā¦
well done!
Hey baby! I hear stories about numb feet on the elliptical on a pretty regular basis, but numb booty? Thatās a first. No worries, training is looking good. I didnāt read back far enough, soooo hope you donāt mind me asking: When is your competition? xoxo
Hmm, how did it happen⦠I guess my foot wasnāt on the machine for the bottom part of the revolution⦠I donāt know, itās hard to explain lol
It was kinda like when youāre walking down the steps, and you think thereās another step but thereās not, then you kinda fall forward⦠oh that never happened to anyone else? Only me?.. not surprising.
My legs didnāt give away, it was my glutes. I had the incline on ā100ā, at the highest level of intensity, so it was like 30 minutes of lunges. Eventually they went numb and I⦠stumbled ![]()
Donāt underestimate my clumsiness.
Uhm yesterday, from warm-up to the end of cardio was 2 hours. That wasnāt even a lot of volume for me. My rest periods are ridiculously short at times. I often finish 3+ sets of an exercise before a song ends on my iPod.
If I didnāt talk as much, I wouldāve been outta there sooner.
MiM, what article are you talking about for shoulders? The new one, or the HS-100 program that Iām doing?
I like the HS shoulder program, great stuff in there.
To answer your question, my shoulders are thrashed during/after. Sometimes it feels as though blood is going to spew from my shoulders from a pump-overload⦠pretty picture, huh?
Ha-ha.
Sugar-pie, you can ask me anything, whenever ![]()
The competition is May 28.
So, not sure what happened today. I have energy, just wasnāt motivated to train. Itās kinda weird though because I want to, so Iām assuming maybe I just didnāt want to train what I had planned.
Anyway, gotta get my ass in gear tomorrow. I skipped on cardio this morning, but Iām definetely going to get the HiiT in tomorrow morning. Makes me feel awesome upon completion.
Today was quads, rear delts, and arms
Leg Extension
130 x 12
150 x 12
170 x 10
180 x 9
Luckily Iām still adding weight and reps to the extensions, which is awesome. I have dreams of doing the whole stack someday ![]()
Narrow Stance Hack Squat
I did this because someone was using my step for box squats
90 x 12
180 x 12
270 x 10
Box Squat
135 x 10
185 x FAIL
Kinda weak of me on my part. I just⦠didnāt feel the need to get back up once the booty hit the step.
So I chuck the step, and do regular squats.
Back Squat
135 x 12
Kimās FL twin comes over to tell me that I have good form on my squats.
Sheās almost as sweet as my real Tiny Freak <3
I grab an awesome spotter for the next two sets. I donāt remember the last time I had a spot for squats, but it was completely necessary today
185 x 8 Spot
225 x 4 Spot
I got a terrible vid of the 225. I donāt know why I couldnāt get a full view, but whatever.
Did rear delts, triceps (used thumbless grip⦠me likey) and 3 sets of BB curls heehee
Cardio was walk to and from gym. Thatās the only thing I was able to muster up.
Tomorrowās gotta be better ![]()
you rock my socks off!!
That was, holy crapā¦Iām speechlessā¦
Most I ever squatted was 175ā¦225 is my dream weight and you go and rep the hell out of it.
Atta girl, nice squats!
Damn Nikki, solid squats! I REALLY need to step my game up now, youāre right on my ass with those
Awesome squatting! Super impressive Nik.

After my squat workout and seeing this, I NEED to crank it up. Nice squatting Nikki!
Donāt worry, tomorrow is another day. But seriously, not a bad showing today. Hold your head up high. Youāre training looks fine. Sometimes your head just isnāt in the game. It happens.
Damn your legs are looking great! I dream of squatting that one day. Or deadlifting it :-/
fackkk, lay off the roidz yo, makin us all look bad
Your always killing it but you have taken it to another level this week!
Nikki: Your squats are a thing of beauty! Nice work.
holy shit those were some bad ass squats⦠but your spotters hand placement was definitely too wide (in my expert opinion) ![]()
wowā¦you are charging along!
