Iā€™ve actually been reading along for a while. Didnā€™t expect this sort of thing to happen here.

Ohā€¦ Donā€™t mirrored surfaces break when youā€™re in front of them? How do you use a PC then? Or are you the Twilight -brand of vampire?

Do you sparkle in the sun?

Answer carefully. Your un-life may depend on it.

Nikki ftw!

You win the internets!

Hell, I put off logging here for so long largely because of the response I got here:

not troll :frowning:

some of the responses were helpful. othersā€¦ i really did think that this site was not for me. took a while before i got the courage to come back.[/quote]

To be honest, this thread example is one of the reasons that I moved my log outta the PW compound. Glad you came back, Alexus, because I have really enjoyed following your training.

I guess my feeling is if you donā€™t like someoneā€™s training style or think their lifts are bogus, just stay outta their log.

o shit. CC is here. All is well.

Cbear-
I read it a while back. Still found the video condescending and rude. Also donā€™t think those are actual videos of you from a year back. When I checked out your log from over a year ago, you have several videos of yourself doing full range of motion pullups with weight.

SH- us defending Nikki says that we like to see good sportsmanship and get disappointed when itā€™s not happening. As was mentioned, someoneā€™s log isnā€™t the appropriate place for a call-out that might be considered rude. If you really think it should happen, PMs are better. This is the equivalent of if one of your coworkers started yelling at you infront of evereyone else regarding how you were doing your job. Thatā€™s not the considerate way to do it and everryone else feels bad/uncomfortable.

Also, if you want to be listened to, developing a good relationship with the person is the first step. The reason you get away with this stuff with BG is because she knows you and has given you permission to do it.

287

Bearā€™s videos are legit - I used to frequent Figure Athlete at the time and remember the thread and the trainerā€™s comments. I donā€™t think sheā€™s posting them to be an arsehole - she really is just showing how you can change with training. Her manner can be abrasive, yes, but thatā€™s part of her charm and most of us who have been posting alongside her for a while know not to take anything personally. I guess Nikki hasnā€™t quite caught on to that yet.

I took a screencap of the folder with my lifting videos in it, crossing my fingers it loads before tomorrow.

A) The bench video is from january of 2009. somewhere, in the depths of FA, thereā€™s a tiptoe convo between mmgalb727, myself, and at least one other person about how my form was off, or something polite like that. i dismissed those comments and kept thinking I was awesome until april rolled around and the cbear thread was started. I still have that texas zipup, but it barely fits because iā€™ve put on at least 15lbs since then.

B) the ā€œ15 pullupā€ video youā€™re upset about is from march of 2009. In march of 2010 I got the outline of a tattoo that starts at my hips, wraps around and up, and ends in the middle of my traps. thereā€™s no way i could have made that pullup video within the last 14 months, at least. I also still have that grey tank top, and my back hangs over the sides bc i refuse to give it up.

C)+D) the two weighted pullup videos are from 2009, but 7.5 months after the ā€œ15 pullupā€ video, and 6 months after i started to get help/coaching.

Iā€™ll also point out-

The ā€œGHR failā€ video, available for your giggles on the youtube. again, had NO idea Iā€™d been doing em wrong until I saw it. it took a very long time to get my mind-muscle connection firing, and it still bails sometimes.

The ā€œ265 failā€ it also took a long time to get my deadlift passable, and i still have a very weird sticking point right below my knees.

Nikki deserves to have her log back, whether she chooses to use it or not, so Iā€™ll be addressing some things over the next few days via PM. I will leave it up to the other party(ies) to decide if the convo should be reposted.

289

I know it doesnā€™t matter since this is no longer a workout log, but I took out the MP in my ā€œtotalā€.
Didnā€™t mean to bump heads with anyone regarding the matter. It was just a clever log title that allowed me to track my progress through my body recomp and this whole training journey in general.

290

Cbear- Fair enough.

Nikki- Would you consider posting a new log in the general training logs area and then post a link here?

291

Sorry to read about all of the strife in here. Iā€™m officially staying out of that. I might be a pussy, but Iā€™m rather conflict-averse.

BUT I LOVE YOUR LEOPARD SHORTS!!!

Looking hot babycakes!
