Needing to cut back on training volume yesterday suddenly made sense today. Probably won’t be performing quite so well the next couple of days. Ugh.
I also realized that posting a pic of what my legs look like now is meaningless without something to compare it to. So below is my super awesome MS Paint creation. I weigh about the same in both pics too.

Every rep on OHP was strict and started with the bar on my shoulders. Woot!
I didn’t think I’d be able to do sets of 10 with dips since I’m never able to do them anymore, but they were actually pretty easy.
I’m such a beast.
Thanks 2busy!
Lifted yesterday. Probably won’t today. Well…maybe I will. I’ve got a huge break between classes so maybe I’ll waste some time at the campus fitness center.

I did a ton of stuff yesterday. I also ate a ton of food after my workout. Om nom nom nom.
I need to up the weights on one or two exercises, but overall, I need keep things where they’re at and start pushing for more reps, or longer holds. I was at the point where some of the stuff was too easy, so I went up, but now I’m struggling a bit.

Some old lady took the seated ham curl while I was doing my leg extensions and I decided I’d rather switch than ahve to talk to her.
I felt nothing on leg press other than anger in my left hip flexor. Gay.
I like the new avi. Looking good.
dayum girl, look hyuge
Thanks Spar4tee and MiM!
I think all the back work I’ve been doing is working. Biceps have grown too, but they still aren’t pretty yet. I’ve had a few friends comment on how big I’ve gotten this last week. Must be doin’ it right.

Calvessss! Got some new shoes the other day too. Have an event in a few weeks and I was determined to not buy anything new to wear for it. And then I saw these babies at Nine West. For 40% off. 99% sure they’re going back but I had to snap a pic of them at least.
The shorts do tend to ride up, but on certain leg workouts I have to wear shorts b/c of the wraps. I like the compression style best. They just kinda roll up near my hip crease and then don’t budge for the rest of the workout. Not pretty, but they don’t bother me so its not my problem. Running shorts look like saggy diapers, and cotton shorts ride up on me but are loose. I really liked Lululemon’s running shorts when I went to one of their stores, but they haven’t had my size in the colors I wanted.
SH, who are YOU kidding? I still say what I want. Just to you. About them. Loudly.

Fucking smith machine. It irritates me that I can’t count the weights like I would on a normal bar.
Did the CSR unilaterally for the first time. Just to experiment. I found that it worked better if I did them standing instead of sitting on the seat at its highest with my legs dangling like I normally do. I also really felt it in the middle of my back, like lower trap/rhomboid area. I might continue to experiment with this.

I got them from my momma. Or something like that. I really don’t do anything for them.
Felt strong as shit going into the gym today. Everything but my last set on bench seemed to fly up. I tweaked my set up just a little bit and I think that’s making a difference too.

Yess! Bench always seems to be so up and down. It can get frustrating.

Today should have been 5/3/1 deadlift but my back was angry. Decided to do 3 triples @ 55% but got a little carried away on the first set. I’ll probably do my 5/3/1 deadlift next week.

That’s the first time I ever tried to do rear delts with the cables. I think I’m in love. The only problem I had was that my delts were so swole that I had trouble with the curls. I guess I’ll only do them at the very end of a workout.
The “gym” doesn’t have any BBs (regular or fixed). The only usable stuff includes 1 pd, 1 seated row, a pec deck, and one of those multi-cable stations. So the only workout that are possible here are back/bis and even those might require a little creativity.

I ended up doing OHP in the middle of the gym floor because all of the racks were taken. I didn’t do the last set super strict, but I definitely used a little leg drive. All felt pretty smooth and easy.
35 felt so easy on inc db that I decided to jump up to the 45s. They weren’t exactly super hard, but I felt kind of unstable and out of my groove. Next time, sticking with the 40s.
