Those are some crazy strong sumos!
Nice Squats and Sumo Pulls luv.
I might try leg press for FST-7 if I can find a way to feel it mostly in my quads. Otherwise I’ll have to do hack squats…and I hate hack squats.
I find myself zoning out/feeling tired mid-workout too sometimes. Generally I have to crank my music or self-motivate myself. Not sure if it’s from my pre-workout stims wearing out or what.
What are the butt blasters? The Kai Greene thing where he stands and does a hamstring curl on the leg extension?
Dday shh, if people know that then I’ll be reprogrammed ;D
Edgy- purr
That’s my reaction to the bite, Edge.
Puff, thank you.
You give me an idea. I should do one foot for that leg press machine because it doesn’t fit enough plates to challenge me. It seems easier than the leg press with the sled.
One foot high up (for glutes and hammies)… will do.
Lol Kalle, a pic just cuz you’re keeping track <3
Iron, not really but thank you.
I had more in me, and I say that knowing that my sumo single and conventional single are the same. That’s not right. Maybe I’ll be in the game next time.
Thanks Blaze-baby <3
I used to do the hack squats for FST-7. I’m not a fan of the hack squat machine either, but for FST-7 it’s actually pretty awesome. Not as monotonous as just doing regular sets.
But you don’t have to do hack squats or even leg press for FST-7. Leg Extensions FST-7 are awesome. They scare the shit out of me, but very effective. Changing the toe position from set to set is good too. Like, point the toe outwards for 2 sets, then straight then inwards for the last set or whatever.
The butt blasters are a glute exercise that targets the upper glute area. I actually have a vid:
I used to do them on the smith machine, but now I’m doing them on the prone leg curl machines and leg extension machines.
No training today. Don’t feel like going through the hassle since it’s a holiday and everything. It’ll be crowded and I see enough people in a day as is.
K bye folks.
Your legs look sensational from the side. No doubt those kickback things are working!
Thanks Cal. The kickbacks are probably the only exercise that I do that gives me DOMS everytime I do them. I like booty DOMS =)
Today was the day that I took off the training wheels on my bodypart split. No one probably read why I had a chest/back day, but it was because that was the only way that I could ensure that I can train chest effectively. I never liked training chest and used to half-ass it. I found that training back and chest together made me take chest workouts more seriously.
Anyway, this morning I wasn’t looking forward to training back and chest together so I’m changing back to my chest/shoulders/tris, legs and back/bi split. I learned quite a bit about myself doing the chest/back, legs and shouldes/arms split and identified my weaknesses and strengths so that’s good. Now I’m looking forward to my more BB split again.

Sadly my left shoulder was irritated with my chest work. Despite my extensive shoulder pre-hab warm-ups. I changed my form and ROM on some sets and it seemed to help, but I’ll be doing more things in my free time to help with my shoulder.
Lateral raises

15s x 15 x 2
20s x 12 x 3

Failed on the 8th rep kinda, didn’t lock out.
OH Rope tricep extension

Then I saw this set-up to do the same exercise just with an EZ-bar and seated.
It was a lot simpler than doing the standing and spin-around version I was just doing
35 x 12 x 3
Some reps were thumbless
Seated dip machine
110 x 15
130 x 12 x 2
DB Floor press

20 x 12 each arm x 2 sets
FST-7
Tricep Pressdowns alternated with reverse grip pressdowns
Tried hard to fight the whole Big O dilemma lol
So that’s it. I’ll try to get back on TN tonight.
Lots of volume as per usual. How’d you like pressing with a thumbless grip?
Sorry about the shoulder. Still lots of volume!
Tri’s must get torn up with all the pressing and the iso work, your a womanimal!
nice work- big sumos after big squats.
and nice pressing volume too.
you my friend have allot of potential to do what you like
in the gym nice work

A fucking WHAT?
Aqua, I’ve been doing all tricep work (well 95% tricep work) thumbless for months now. One of the huge guys in the gym taught me and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Nadia no problem, just gotta take better care of it. Thank you.
Matty yes, my triceps are DOMS central right now. Which is good because they’re my worst bodypart. Well, among my Top 10 worst body parts lol
Thanks kmc, I love doing what I like.
Count, womanimal is a uh… female immortal.
Yeah, that’s it.
I forgot my gym bag at home today so I was beltless, hook-less, and notebook-less but I did my leg work anyway.
I started off with FST-7 leg extensions.
Another trick from my maker Ct Lover. Start off the workout with FST-7. Hmm.
Because of no hooks or belt, I did DB RDLs next.
35 x 12
45 x 12
55 x 12
65 x 8 x 2
Then leg press
My legs were feeling weak today, so I did high reps, 15-20. No more than 8 plates.
Then I did butt blasters on the leg extension machine
70 x 12 each
90 x 12 each
100 x 12 x 2 sets each leg
Then FST-7 prone leg curl
Tomorrow is my day off (well, so far) so I should be able to get to the logs then. Meanwhile, I gotta go now.
Bye-bye <3

…its breed for its skills in magic
nikki nikki nikki… I came in here to see how my favorite pint sized power house was doing and OF COURSE you’re still killing it. Thats what I’m talking about.
Your new pics are lookin great! Seems like your legs are looking a little bit slimmer? (is that even proper engrish?) lol
looking awesome and tearing it up as usual. i’ll have to look at the leg extension machine again… maybe i can get back into doing the butt blasters on that…
So I wander over here thinking “Let’s see how Nikki gets it done”… I’d say much to my surprise, (but that would be a lie, because I already knew you kicked ass), but damn, this is some nice work here. I’m a sucker for a lean back and delts, and you are straight up bringin’ the thunder. Keep up the good work!
I came over here to see what all the commotion was. Turns out it’s the VOLUME in this thread!! 
Nice work (and legs).
Your picture is the perfect mix of lean and powerful! So beautiful! And holy crap that’s a lot of volume!
Greg, I’m your favorite pint sized powerhouse? I’m sure that you don’t know that many pint sized people, but I’m flattered. Thank you kindly dahlin.
Alex, the butt blasters may be easier and more convenient for you to do them on the leg extension machine.
Lol wiggles, I’m glad that I can meet the expectations of hotties such as yourself.
Ddot, you and I are both volume masters. Cheers to that.
Thanks Iron, I appreciate that.
I’m taking the day off today. Trying to chill to the best of my ability. I slept until 10 and I still want a nap. I did some cleaning, paid some bills, bought some supps, and that’s pretty much it. Oh and I had some smores. Yum yum. My compression shorts also arrived so I’ll be wearing the zebra print tomorrow. Tomorrow is back and bis, which is kinda good that I took today off because I will like to deadlift tomorrow as well.
I also found a possible culprit for my shoulder issue. When driving, I have my left arm in the 10 position. For the most part, my right hand is on the gear shift which explains why my left shoulder feels more pain during pressing. No biggie, I just have to really drive in my head to have my hands at the 4 and 8 positions or whatever.
Still doing my shoulder pre-hab stuff too.
Aaaaannnnd I’m still catching up on logs.
Talk to everyone soon muah
So sorry I have been a very BAD wife lately.
I don’t know where to start commenting on your training because you rock it mama! One note: triceps DOMS are the best.
Love that you ate smores! I’m not into marshmallow but they must have been delicious.
AND… I am patiently (well, maybe not so patiently) awaiting pics of you in the zebra shorts. I may even be inspired to post in my lime green leopard shorts again when you do. (Yes, I’m trying to bribe you.)
Much love babycakes!
