yep nikki does crazy volume! i feel tired just reading it (kinda imagining doing it). amazing how much you get done in the time you have. my training is pretty much the polar opposite and involves mostly sitting on my butt :-/
glad you had a nice day off. hope you get lots of sleep and feel rested for tomorrow.
Your split is kinda like mine now 
Not sure if your shoulders bother you on flies, but mine have been feeling better since I started doing incline flies instead of flat. Could be a different issue though, so take that with a grain of salt.
Aww veggiebaby, don’t apologize, the Man’s been trying to keep me down too haha
I’m not a marshmallow person either, but in a smore, it just kinda makes sense and feels right.
You were supposed to post a pic of those shorts forever ago! But I took a pic anyway for you. I’ll be buying some more wacky print shorts so you gotta keep up with me, ta bien?
Meaning moar pics of you and your shorts.
Hiya alex, it is kinda crazy how much I get done in an hour. Sometimes it’s good and bad. Today’s training was 2 hours. One hour was just for deadlifting. I didn’t plan it that way but when I’m not rushing my low rep sets, I can take a while.
Blaze, that’s why I asked if you changed your split. I did and I noticed that ours is similar giggle <3
Yeah I should have done incline flies. I just tried to switch it up since I did incline press but flat flys do bother me.
I just went to my pizza guy and got a gyro. Nom nom nom nom nom. Gonna chase it down with some zeppolis too. More noms.
K today was back, shoulders and biceps. I’ll be adding shoulder work whenever I can.
Good news is that my shoulder felt a lot better during laterals than last time. I’m changing my hand position on the steering wheel and just trying to do some shoulder health stuff so I’m feeling better.

Awesome pulling day. I could’ve done more but I’ll save that for the next couple of weeks.
At first I was worried because 265 felt kinda slow. I thought that I’ll have to deload. I don’t feel like I need to mentally or anything, but if my lifts stall, then I’ll do what I have to. Luckily I just had to change my approach. I rested about 3 minutes between lifts and I did the whole “walk up to the bar and just tear shit up” technique. It works a lot better than me staying in the starting position for 30 seconds like I normally do.
Before the 295, I even did some extended set pull-ups. Probably about 12 from dead hang each time. Extended set pull ups (my definition anyway) are just wide grip to failure, medium grip to failure then neutral grip to failure.
So yeah, 295 is about 5-8 pounds short of 2x my BW.

And that’s it. Great lifting day. Less volume than I’m used to but I know my back will feel those DLs tomorrow.
315 right around the corner, awesome work.
If flat flies bother you,do them on the floor.
Oh,and 815…pump,pump,pump,pump it up.
oh,and use a lower foot placement on the platform of the leg press for quad iso.
WAHO! 20lb deadlift pr’s way to go Nikki
Oh yeeeeesss, I was stoked to see that the log name changed. Great job on the PR!
Congrats on the DLs sweet thing! Good grief! 2x BW is yours.
No wonder your hammies look all bee stung up there. Cute shorts.
And you were doing sets of 12 pullups in there just before the DL PR? WOW!
Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha.
Holy hell girl 20lb PR, freakin’ sweet!
Fuck yeah!! Killing it fo sho!
That DL is ridic, Nik. Seriously.
Love the zebra shorts btw. Badass!
So…with my bum knee I’m thinking to do some BBer style work. All those splits and shit. I’m thinking of stealing some stuff from you - that upper body day could be like two days for me. HAHAHAH! you’re nuts. What’s a normal split look like? I can do upperbody and back, hams and glutes. Just no knee bending. Ideas?

What’s FST7?
Jk! But really, give me something less, how you say, intense. I’m working on 1500 calories.
Edit: Wait, no. I just looked on fit day - i’m averaging about 1800 a day. lol! I’m so dramatic.
Matty, yeah I’ll be trying for that 315 in a couple weeks fingers crossed
Hmm Count, that’s intriguing. Having support for my back and rear delts may make the flies easier.
I can get quad iso for the leg press with the sled. The one I’m talking about moves in an arc pattern. My feet were as low as they can go, but it still didn’t work.
Kalle, I was wondering where you’ve been. I was going through the Training Logs looking for you. Hmm pout
Thank you.
Lol Aqua, I’m stoked too. Thanks baby!
Thanks Puff =D
Yeah I did the pull-ups to prolong my rest between sets lol
Thanks Dday <3
Maschy, I don’t know how you’ll be able to do any leg work with your knee =(
Maybe RDLs I can see.
When training upper body, I make sure to have at least a day between any type of upper body work so I don’t stress my shoulders too much. Other than that, upper body splits can be done in a variety of ways.
Maybe back and shoulders/hams and glutes/ chest and arms split?
I don’t know I think you’re great at desigining your splits and workouts.
1800 calories? I could never eat that much in a day.
+gasp+

Actually jerky, I just blew our my knee. It’s a conscious decision to take in less calories as i’m currently completely inactive. at any rate, i figure now is a good time to lean out and tighten things up! I just can’t go full beast mode 
Nikki, that sounds perfect. Thanks! Actually, i went to the gym and tried some stuff out. I can totes do RDLs, I can do standing ab/adductor and back ext on a SB, and of course the brazilian butt workout (with ankle weights!). I’m sure I can do GMs. Yay!

Oh im excited to see these! you taped em, right?
DLs and pullups two of my favorite things. Congrats on the prs!
Maschy, Count’s been lashing out today. Don’t mind him babe.
Good points on the GMs and such. Also, if you have a back extension machine thingy, you can lay on it like a plank (hands holding where the ankles usually go) and raise your lower body to work the hammies and glutes. Keep the legs straight the whole time. Yep, that should work nicely for you.
Cbear, I looked at your log for the first time in a long time just now and upon comparing our numbers, I now understand where your bitterness comes from. Personally I see no reason why you should hate, but maybe it’s the facts that I’m 19 or been training less than a year. With that said, yes I’ll get you a video whenever my lower back decides that it will be a good time for you to leave my log with your tail between your legs.
Thank you kindly for checkin’ in though.
Nadia, your pull-ups and DLs are awesome, I’m not surprised that they’re your favorites.
I appreciate your comment, seeing how your DLs and pull-ups provide motivation for me ;D
Hmm speaking of motivation.
Getting me hyped for when the novio gets off work.
