I stopped barbell benching awhile back…lol…I like dumbbells a lot better now, they spare my shoulder and I think I get better ROM with em, so ya…I say if there’s something you absolutely hate, stop doing it!
edit: woah, sorry I skipped a whole page, this was a response to something you said on 15, but yeah, I stick by it lol.
Checking in here. Lats looking strong and wide in the avi, booty looking awesome in the photo. Strong lifts. Good work in here Nikki! Gym time is great for study breaks. Carry on…
Matty, I was going to do it for the benching but the pegs were far away from the bar so I thought I couldn’t. Unfortunately I didn’t read your post about putting the bands on the very bottom. I’ll make sure to do that.
I did use them to stretch per your suggestion last night though. Me like.
Aww veg, I did see that you don’t see your guy often. I know how you feel, sad girl indeed.
Lol owlie, thanks for dropping in.
Most Major, right when I’m thinking how awesome your latest TILF contribution is, you drop in. How fortunate of me.
Did chest/back today. Had plenty of energy, so started with walk to the gym.
Got a Frosty before my workout as well, so the fast-absorbing carbs will fuel my workout… that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it =)
So I walked in to the gym with the Frosty, and my friend makes a comment about my Frosty and a tsk-tsk smile (he still thinks I’m competing in May)
Anywho, after I incline benched 40s, he comes up to me and says “I’m getting a Frosty before my workout tomorrow”
Ha! I love my peoples.

Very nice Nikki! Looks like those Frostys are your magic supplement.
shivers you just gave me bad flashbacks of psych statics…WHEEWWW–you are BRAVE. Oh man…i hated that.
beautiful as always! strong and luscious My Nikki!
Yes, Frosty’s are an undiscovered roid. The public will catch on.
So, you guys know how I am obsessed with Girl Scout cookies? And Veggie shares that obsession muah
Well, Edy’s (bless his <3) has an ice cream made with my favorite Girl Scout cookies, the Samoas. You know, the caramel coconut chocolate piece of heaven.
Yeah it’s like dark as hell in the house; late night, post-cardio snack blush
Brutiful always pops in when I’m writing a post 
Second time in a row.
Thanks babydoll! <3
wide grip pullups for 8? Daaaaaaaamn! your back is ridic.
I was getting all inspired and junk, from your workout… but now all I want to do is eat ice cream 
congrats on your grade!
nom. sounds delicious. i have to be careful with icecream since i don’t have a freezer. if i buy a tub i gotta eat the tub before it melts (i tell myself) :-/
i’m starting to get a lot more interested in your leg routines. not that i wasn’t interested before - but i do find it hard to make sense of what people are up to a lot of the time since i’m still fairly new to this strength training stuff. appreciate being here and having the opportunity to learn so much. that is a lot of weight on the leg press. holy crap.

Wow! I’m not that big on ice cream except when it is blistering hot outside. Probably is already in Florida. Not yet here on the Pennsy/Jersey border. I will have to look around for that stuff in anticipation of the hot weather.
That pic is vixen worthy IMO. Between the ice cream and your cleavage… Stay sexy mama!
Incline Bench looking goooooood!
just poppin in for a hot minute to say
a) you rock those capris like nobodies business. damn!
b) so happy to see you killing it in the gym again - hellz yeah!
c) samoas or sex? samoas.
That ice cream is evil…bought the same kind on Friday and it was gone by Sunday(with kids help of course) But still!! nom nom nom
Nikki: Mmm icecream. And you are looking quite tasty yourself. Nice work on the school stuff and the wide grip pullups!
Greggy, trying to get to your pull-up status. Only 3 more years to go.
Alexus, sounds like a good excuse to me, proceed =)
Glad you like my leg stuff
Veggie, I don’t like ice cream in any weather. I hate ice cream. Not even to top pies or cakes or brownies or whatever. So if I promote an ice cream, much less take a pic and post, it’s a must-have.
Matty, I thought the bench sucked =(
Thanks though.
Masch, any miinute with you is hot <3
Uhm, samoas or sex? It’s a real close call and I don’t want to choose… samoas followed by sex maybe? Samoas before sex? Samoas during sex?
I’m always willing to compromise.
Glad you’re on the Samoa boat MiM

Didn’t write down numbers, doesn’t matter anyway
I was pouring sweat. I was actually pouring sweat after the first superset of walking lunges and partials.
It could also be a raised metabolism from interval cardio this morning. Either way, I’m sure I made a lot of people feel like they should’ve been working harder 
Then walk home. Got Muscle Milk instead of the norm choc milk. Nasty, I’m going back to Nesquick.
All in all, awesome day. Everything is sore, luckily tomorrow is a rest day.
Just catching up with your log. Awesome pic of you in the fitted capris. Very, very nice.
Baby got back - a tight little bubbled up back.
That’s a lot of heavy walking lunges. Nice training. You inspire.
Those Caramel Delight/ Samoa Girl Scout cookies were on the “Hide those” list in my house this year. 
This is what I have to say to my men who bring this stuff home. When I say “my men”, I mean my 44-year-old man and my 15-year-old eating everything that isn’t nailed down son.
question: what’s better than icecream?
ansewr: icecream with a full scoop of Nikki.
I agree with Veggie- something about the nice cammie and the icecream make it vixen worthy
Nadia thanks love <3
Thanks PP, those walking lunges are killer with that weight.
Lunges and farmer walks combined.
Lmao about your son, eating everything not nailed down. Never heard that before =D
N your comments always make me blush
So I’m hopping back on the progress pic boat
I’m using another BF formula to test my BF%
One that includes an abdominal test site
So now I measure 1) pectoral, 2) abdominal, 3) upper thigh
Whereas before I measured
Anyway, BF is reading 18.4%
I’m actually excited, I just love having something to work on. So now I have to get “shredded like a julienne salad”… again ;D
Sorry the pics are blurry, they looked perfect on the camera, then got home a couple hours later to upload my pics and whaddayaknow
You look better everytime you post new pics.
