Great back, great PR, things seem to be falling in line for you Frenchie.
This says it so much better than I ever could. Love that back!
Ah the things you guys do to my already inflated ego…
Bear - I was yours at hello girl!
Bobbi - a congrats from you is worth gold, I know how hard you work 
Dixie - I have my ups and downs - you happen to be checking out the log at a good time for the workouts.
Joe - Tis the nature of the beast, its usually after long stagnant spells that we all of a sudden manage to push through our plateaus.
Print- Love the songs you drop in here - that cowboy song on the last page actually got my head nodding and well this last one got a big smile from me.
Felt sore from the bench PR and yesterday’s fasted cardio so I downed a little beta alanine with my pp today before my workout. I’m usually not big on the extra supps but needed a little push today to get through…
THE COMPLEXES FROM HELL!
Decided to start however with a few pullups just to see where I stood with the weight loss. I kinda pushed those to the side during the bulk 'cause, well, they sucked.
Neutral-grip pullups (I find those easier, good way to start up again)
2x1 - managed to haul that fat frenchie butt twice. Not pretty but happy non the less
1 band 2x3
2 bands 2x5, 1x3.
Complexes inspired by Tim’s suggestion of keeping the reps low and the weight heavier since its more aligned with my style of lifting.
75lbs Barbell 12 set of 3 reps each
Front Squat
Push Press
Barbell Row
Romanian Deads
Lunges
I initially had cleans in there but after the first round I saw that wasn’t going to happen. I haven’t done them in a long while and the technic was really sloppy. I need to focus on relearning that one on its own.
Took short breaks between circuits and a longer break after the 5th round. I had to dig deep after set 8 and 10 to push through.
Silly Frenchie thought she was going to front squat the easy weight without stretching, even after yesterday’s cardio. Well I almost fell on my butt. Decided to rack the bar and take a few extra minutes to stretch: dislocated x 12, calf and hamstring stretches. Squats felt much better after. Also ran through the same stretches after.
Now I’m hungry and planning a wonderfull homemade beef stew for supper - WIN!!
12 sets?!?! SEXY!!
Ugh, does that mean I have to do 12 sets now? Boggers.
I hate when powerlifters show me up ;D
You know every PL comment I make about you is said with love <3
Mainly because I’m excited about your new goals…
I’m not big on extra supps either.
There are days when I really want some glutamine though lol
Congrats on the pull-ups as well. You had a tough day today, huh?
she had a tough day and kicked its ass!
Sweet action!
Hi pulls are a good one to throw in there, as there is no technique to struggle with.
3 rounds of 95lbs and a 105lbs up next.
Good work, you have a video waiting for you.
I’m a little late - but wicked job on the benching!
Cause not everyone visits Sama…
Posted for some TILF reply but also to record the temporary leannerness (its a Frenchieism)
nom.
x a lot.
ooooo-la-la frenchie!
Beautiful.
Hawtness!
Damn N, you’re looking fantastic, and look at all the crazy work you’ve been putting in. Killing it. Absolutely killing it!
Those squats are doing good things to your butt.
Geez, I go away for a weekend and miss both a bodyweight bench PR and a lean naked Frenchy. And a few pullups for good measure. A big HELL YEAH for all of those!
Wow, a bodyweight bench. That is like the holy grail.

Lovely, Lean, & Luscious…
smack
Am I allowed to smack your ass in this forum?
Frenchie, you look stunning. Congrats on those pullups too. I’m always amazed at your follow through–how you go out and do what you say you’re going to do. Frenchie says she’s gonna cut–she cuts and kicks ass at cardio to make sure it happens. It’s way cool that you don’t mess around. I admire that.
Thank you for celebrating with me on all my endevours
Edgy- from you I’ll accept, hell I’m parading naked, but when I’m talking about workouts, no butt slapping. I’m sure you can make a good judgement call.
Nadia - Thank you for the very well worded compliment. I’m focused because I gave myself a very tangible target. When my drive is on lifting heavier, I lift heavy and I eat. My targets are specific weights and I work towards them. Now my target is a little fat loss my specific goal is 150lbs, and my sweet carrot is a week wearing bikinis. I will add that 150 on my frame is not that lean - I’m not aiming for a crazy impossible target.
Speaking of cardio I felt totally crippled today from the killer workouts I’ve been putting myself through. I finished work a little later too so I decided to keep it simple.
treadmill
2 mins 3mph
3 mins 4mph
35mins 5mph
5mins 3mph
total: 45 mins.
Took 20 minutes for shoulder dislocates, foam rolling and stretching the hamstrings, calves and groin. The traps are feeling especially tender today.
On a different note I bought a new bikini at lunch time! A black “bill a bong” with metalic silver detailing. Love that you can buy them as seperates, love that the bottoms have enough cloth to somewhat cover my ass. I’ve tried many different brands but I always end up buying their stuff.
