Well those pics just made my monday turn into a happy one!
I love this thread.

Wow! You’re looking great!!! Do you have your own calipers? On the bullshit body weight (BMI) map are you technically obese?! 
I think if I had the same height/mass ratio as you, I’d need 20-40 more pounds… I guess I have a long way to go! Gives me some perspective! SEXY! 
p.s. I <3 the pic that you DONT like!
My day is complete now that I turned Matty’s day into a happy one.
Lol aww Edge :*
Perfect Drug, thanks Hot Mama! Yeah, I have my own calipers.
Nah on the chart I’m only overweight. I’ll wait until I put on 9 more pounds of LBM to be considered obese. That’s actually my next goal in fact. I love confusing doctors
Thanks for the love <3
Looking great in here! I can’t get over how compact muscle is. 
Just goes to show that scale weight is meaningless for people who train heavy.
Go Nikki!
Legs are looking phenomenal…like myself, I think they’ll always be a strong point for you, especially quads. Nothing to be ashamed of at all, it’s awesome! It also looks to me like your back width has been coming along nicely these last few months, did you end up overhauling how you train it significantly?

HAHA! but where is the plexi glass hole that you can buy lucy’s out of?
Sorry your rack got robbed. Bastids!
Quads are sooooo nice!
This new eating plan is working wonders! I’ll have to read the article again and see if there’s anything i might be able to use in my own diet.
Wow girl, I haven’t dropped in in awhile and you are looking just amazing! Leaning down nicely
Your legs are amazing - actually so is everything else! I’m loving all of the progrss pictures.
Great job in the lean mass gaining department too.
Glad to see that you are back in the gym killin it like you should be!

Nikki, wow those quads are nom! The rest of you is too, but quads are my favourite and yours are amazing.
yeah, a wonderful pair of quads, indeed. thanks so much for taking footage of your back extensions, too. was helpful for me. hope it didn’t throw our your training too much. would feel awful if you overtrained your back because of it :-/
wow!!! :D!! Always a GREAT view in this log !! Check out those quads!
Oy what a day…
No gym today sigh
Which really screws me over because I had legs planned for tomorrow. But there’s no way I’m walking in the gym this late trying to do a chest/back workout right now. Ha!
I guess everything will have to be pushed back a day. My new university is already ruining my training schedule and I’m not even taking the classes yet. This is foreshadowing, yes, yes it is.
Anyway, when I got home late late late, I saw a Missing Person posted up by one of my neighbors. I never met them before, they’re new, and I think it’s tragic that someone in their family is missing. So I stopped by their house along my walk home to give my condolences. The girl is about my age, it’s terrible to think something like that happened just down my street.
So, kinda downer of a day.
Powerpuff, scale weight is stupid to base everything on. It makes going to the doctor annoying though. I love the looks on the nurses’ face when, although they look heavier than me, they weigh less. I guess they feel better about themselves to know that they weigh less than 19 year old Nikki. When I go on the scale they give this disappointing look. Go over to blood pressure and test my HR and whatnot. What’s that nurse? Oh I’m healthier than you? Yeah, you can save that Diabetes and Death speech for someone else
H4M, oye you make me feel so bad for not updating my RMP thread. I’m kinda embarrassed TBH, I have nothing to update with and feel like I gave up, although I’m just postponing…
Anyway! Back training has been taken more seriously thanks to your post. I pretty much do pull-ups every chance I get, got stronger on them as well. I also love Pendlays! Your advice helped a great deal. I took off 2 weeks from training due to an injury though but right now I’m focusing on bringing up everything so I might have something impressive to show you in the future.
I’m keeping my raincheck on PMing you. I still look at the advice you gave me frequently, don’t think that I take it for granted <3
Maschy the Insulin Advantage has tweaks for everyone; those just wanting to build muscle, lose fat or both. I’m sure you can use the advice in there in some way =D
Thanks Redhead, looking good Dahlin!
Thanks LS, I love the leg love I get on here. Makes me blush
I’m glad to be back in the gym too.
Deb, quads are my fave too. Thanks for the love
Alexus, no harm done with the back extensions. Just didn’t do them with great ROM and everything but glad to help when I can.
Aww again with the leg love Brute. Thanks so much!
Using one of the fixed weighted bb’s is good for hypers too…
Sounds like a stressful day…but remember it’s not a race.
I don’t watch the news for a reason…it’s a scary place right outside the gate and I’d rather just not know sometimes.
I don’t watch the news. On my way home I saw the posters that were taped on the gate to my neighborhood.
As I was walking up to the house, one of the family members had the most somber look on his face, sitting in his garage with the garage door open. Kind of like he was just waiting for the girl to ride up in a car full of teens from a night out.
It really hurt to see him looking like that. I know the kids in that house, they always play in the drive way with the garage door open. They weren’t playing today.
Nikki: Sorry to hear about what’s going on your neighborhood. Hang in there.
Nik, I’m truly sorry that you’ve come face to face with this kind of tragedy. Hang in there doll. We’re here for you if you need us.
Awww, hope it all works out for your neighbor. Shit can be scary. Also sorry that you didn’t make it to the gym. Happens to all of sometimes. Might happen to me tomorrow. My schedule is stacked and I’m not going to kill myself doing GVT back, etc. at 10 pm after seeing 50 patients. We’ll see. Sounds like you should chill and use the extra rest.
Meant to ask you… where’d you get those hot little shorts that you’re sportin’ in the avi? I need some. <3 that they have side-slits, very accommodating for big legs. Oh, forgot to mention. Thighs are looking yummy.
Thanks ladies, I’m fine, I just feel awful for them. I hate being in positions where I am helpless.
I’ll check in with them tomorrow. Maybe there’ll be good news.
Veggie, they’re a pair of undies I use as loungewear during the day heehee
Where I got them is beyond me, I’m really not an underwear kind of girl.
you and your undies that everyone thinks are shorts rofl. they had me fooled, too. as did the last pair.
sorry to hear about what happened in your neighborhood. stuff like that can be pretty freaky. going from feeling safe and trusting to not really knowing how something like that could happen. really hoping that this has a happy (as possible under the circumstances) resolution.
we do have one of the angled back extension machines in the other room. i’ll try the behind the neck weighting on that one, so thanks for the demo
hope your training goes well tomorrow. can i congratulate you on graduating yet?
