Heh Alexus, glad my reply was one of the sensible ones. See, I’m not an arsehole. Usually.
Re: the rest, I don’t read every post of every thread - life is too short - so any drama that went on elsewhere largely escaped my notice. So Nikki, sorry if my posts came across as heavy handed. When shit like this happens, is never one-sided, but I can see why you got frustrated. My main concern is that with the amount of volume you do, the amount you lift and the not so perfect form, you’re going to get injured.
I speak from bitter experience because, in my early 20s, I was incredibly keen, incredibly ignorant, did a lot of crazy workouts designed for big, roided-up males (there was no internet back then so I relied on Flex and Musclemag for info) and paid little attention to form. I tried to lift as much as I could every single time I tried. And now I have so many fucked up bodyparts that I spend most of my gym time doing rehab. I just don’t want that to be you, 20 years down the line, because it fucking sucks. All the best, whatever you choose to do.
To those unhappy that someone called a poster out in her log instead of via PM: Bear had posted multiple “warning shots” about claiming bullshit lifts long before this came up. Nikki claims that she hasn’t read Bear’s log in months so she wouldn’t know about these. Lets assume that this is one of the few things isn’t lying about. She still knew about the warnings because some of her minions PMed her about the warnings.
She brought this up in her last log. Funny that you’re suggesting that we are being disrespectful when this whole thing started because Nikki launched a personal attack on Bear simply for saying… “Oh im excited to see these! you taped em, right?”
To those who view Stronghold is an unwelcome visitor posting in PW: Stronghold has been posting in PW for longer than most of you have been a member on the site. He started coming over here when I kept my first log here (which, btw was started before the PW subforum even existed). So get the fuck over it. Perhaps YOU GUYS should show a little more respect to a long time poster that clearly knows his shit and has helped many others over the years. See. It works both ways.
I’ve read every word. That you and SH have been here since the inception of TN doesn’t give you any more credibility, respect, or deference in my book.
You did nothing wrong. I get it. Everyone does. I’m sure you have your supporters. I’m not one of them. You can keep trying, but in my opinion, you can’t polish the turd that you left in this log. And the effect that it had. You got a young lifter to quit posting. And you did that because you want to red light her based on a video. And your not sorry. For the name calling. For calling her a liar. For your role in this at all. Your tone and conduct is beyond reproach.
Now, the only reason I’m still engaged is that I want you out of Nikki’s log. You’re not welcome here. I would like her to feel comfortable posting again, and she won’t with you and SH still here, still defiant.
Why don’t you start another thread. You can defend yourself there.

What does it say about me? Maybe that I just like her input and like reading her progress. I like how you try to turn my concern over her into an attack on my character though, very mature.
Fuck it. I’m out of this for now. Nikki, stay around.

You keep giving me things to respond to in here, and I just might keep coming back.
Get of your fucking high horse. I’m not trying to get anyone to support me. I don’t need the reassurance and affirmation from nameless faceless posters on the internet to know that I’m right. I know that I’m right. Period.
If you guys aren’t happy with your training logs being open to comments and criticism from anyone that has an account on the site, perhaps you should ask the Admins to create a special group for you like the BOI. It could be called The Sisterhood of Sandy Vaginas. You can add only the members that you like and that way you’ll have a place to spew rainbows and sunshine and blow smoke up one another’s asses. You can talk about how cute your gym clothes are and tell everyone that they did a good job even when they didn’t. Everyone will get a trophy in the SSV. Because trying your best and being a nice person is what really counts in the gym.

Great. Let’s end it like this. With you being you.
Oh, one more thing. I feel really lucky to have you back in the compound.

Not attacking your character. Just pointing out the irony in you accusing me of white knighting and then begging Nikki to stay.
The Internet: “Where grown adults can act like bitter, immature, bickering 12 year olds and somehow think it’s ok”
lol
I was ignoring this bullshit until I saw that people that I like are being criticized (constructively, I’m sure rolls eyes) just because they support me. I don’t want others to be looked at wrong or judged just because they don’t think that I’m a liar. Questioning someone’s character because they want me to continue logging? Holy shit, this whole “Nikki lying about all her lifts” turned into a bigger catastrophe than I could have imagined.
I took a vid just now of my 165 bench. The one that I lied and got caught about.
I wasn’t going to post the video, especially since I benched yesterday (I felt like such a “sistard” for benching twice in a row ;D ) but this won’t end. Shit, this hate will go on to the end of the log, then someone will create a Part 2.
I’m sure someone will have another problem with another lift. I mean, I already proved people wrong about the 295 DL. I also can bench, touch my chest and not get help with 165. I can’t wait to see what else I’m lying about.
165lb clean touch and go bench, 305 or whatever conv. DL (you’re aware of your low back issue so I won’t comment on that)… I don’t know what you squat… But that is some amazing strength for a female beginner with all of a years’ training under her belt and little real life help (I presume). Actually that seems to be pretty good even for experienced female trainees.
Keep training exactly the way you do now… Without losing your arch while deadlifting, that is… It’s obviously working.
How much do you weigh?
Did you want a critique? OK, hear goes. Your spotter needs to spend as much time on his calves as he does on his arms. 
Nice shorts, btw.

This Cephalic Carnage is another one of Nikkis accounts. Its funny how he just shows up to give a stamp of approval to the vid.

I’ve actually been reading along for a while. Didn’t expect this sort of thing to happen here.
Oh… Don’t mirrored surfaces break when you’re in front of them? How do you use a PC then? Or are you the Twilight -brand of vampire?
