I know you don’t think Frosty’s are Au naturale’ LOL!
I love rear delt fly’s…very underrated muscle to train.

Interesting study I read. It turns out that cocoa contains flavonoids that boost blood flow to the muscles and reduces the demands on the heart during exercise. The extra blood flow translates to more intense lifting. [/quote]
Extra Blood Flow FTMFW~
I had to say it, ya’know…
Actually MiM, the study is more about yours truly, Cocoa Espresso.
My spontaneous runaway train mind just linked the Frostys.
Edgy, you can have extra cocoa!
So many potential inuendos here.
Damn, cant see the vids…
oh,
of course!!
Nice wall squats. Looking cute too! Now that you’ve been doing them for a while, you gotta take 'em to the next level: toes to the wall baby! I know that you are more than flexible enough to pull that off.
Enjoy your pizza!
I’m sowwy Matty
It’s okay MiM, I just didn’t know how to answer. First instinct was, “Well I can come au naturale”
I haven’t been doing them for a while, only since they floated around PW lol
Uhm, I don’t think I can do toes to the wall, will try though.
Finally had a workout in the gym today. Yay!
Did chest/back.
Well, kinda. At first I was feeling tired from the new-ness of training, so I thought that I was going to have an abbreviated workout. I was already into the back part of my workout when the creatine must’ve kicked in. Oh well, I love training back anyway and I don’t understand training chest.
People may not know this but I do have chest muscles. They’re just covered with bewbs.
I started off with rear delt flys because my anterior delts were hit hard with all my push-ups and I fret an imbalance slash injury.
Rear delt flys
20s x 10 x 3
I don’t know what possessed me to pick up 20s for flys, but they were easy enough. Well, not easy. But felt very good! The delts loved it too
DB Bench Press
30s x 15
35s x 14, 13
Pull-ups
Highlight was 4 wide pull-ups
PR

Lat Pulldowns
85 x 12
100 x 11 x 2
HS High Row
45 per arm x 12

65 per arm x 12
So I’m texting a friend/ ex-potential bf who I found out was an ass which made him ex-potential
He insinuates that I can’t do my back stuff without gloves.
So I take them off for rows. Seeing how I don’t like them much anyway, I classify them more of a grip exercise anyway
DB Rows
50 x 12
60 x 10
70 x 8
HS Pulldown
55# per arm x 12
80 per arm x 10
2 plates per arm x 8
The 2 plates is definetely a PR. Very proud. I’m playing with the big boys now

Yay for being back in the gym!!!
I have no clue what ya did.
my brain went tilt at “bewbs”
My post didn’t post…so here I am again saying: yeah for being back in the gym and yeah for a pull up pr! Getting half way up is so frustrating–there you are so close, but frozen! I think they should count. Round up!
lol What happened to keeping your hands soft, Nikki?
Glad you’re back in the gym!
two PR’s! well done. tearing it up as always. good work on the wide grip pull-ups. i try occasionally but nope, not going to happen. not even just one. not even if i start from the stepper (less than full ROM).
way to get after it.
I just saw the wall squat video, and I am happy I did Im happy to see you back at the gym…
Yay! Shortstacks back in the gym and tearin’ it up! Well done.
Lucky you and your boobs! grumble
That was a great training sesh first day back in! Esp the WG pullups and the rear delt flyes - 20 is heavy! Good stuff. Glad you’re back at it!
Thanks for the lovin guys.
L, I can not pass up a gym-related challenge, sort of a “anything you can do” thing. Especially since the asshole didn’t think I can lift without gloves; he calls me a diva.
But that’s why he’s a single asshole.
I’m playing around with the bulk and cut in a day diet by Mister Clay. The idea came because I’m trying to keep my weight up, just shed fat. With the after-training meal and creatine, I weighed in at 145.5 this morning. Yippee! 4.5+ pounds more than my last weigh-in
I’m not seeing any negative effects of fat gain, I just have to monitor the fat loss. Numbers went down so I’m feeling quite positive about this.
Anyway, legs today.
Squats- Kept the weights light, just getting back in the swings and being one with the squat
95 x 8
135 x 10
155 x 8
165 x 8, 4**
** My dumbass fucked up my back here. GRRR I put on my belt wrong, and felt the tinge in my back immediately. Laid off.

Played around with barbell hack squats again. Quads were having a lactic acid party, come one come all, so that was that.
Smokin’!!!
Now I have to read the rest of your post
Good job on the weight gain. It’s tough to put it on and stay lean but your sexy pic there is evidence you’re doing it right.
damn, Cupcake…ya’know? damn.
<-------------------speechless Viking is speechless.
Aww thanks Loves sheepish grin
By “numbers went down” I mean bodyfat calipers. In case that was confusing lol
I think I’m done eating for the day, my low-insulin meal was PP shake with milk (not whole milk so minus points there) and cinnamon and chia seeds and snacked on some nuts.
I’m full, and another bulk-and-cut day complete.
