And if you could take a pic of the bookshelf with you reaching for a book waaayyyy down on the bottom shelf, that would be much appreciated 
Looking great, Miss.

Hey Masch!
If the reverse lunges in your Lower 1 workout give you issues, try Bulgarian Split Squats instead! My knees have been giving me issues but I feel absolutely solid when I do these. Even starting out with BW is a killer.[/quote]
Bulgarian Split Squats FROM THE DEBIL and also build the epic ass.
Glad we had this little chat.

Also, please to have gratuitous abs pic (a la Lula!). From fatty-fat days, this took me about 2 weeks of “clean eats” (i.e. not binge eating/drinking THAT much). Average daily calories 1800, 100g of carbs.

Damn…
Those abs are awesome.
Damn…
Masch: You look crazy good for a short 2 week diet!

Peaches!! Hai! (another nickname I stole from Hallie - is it ok I call you this? Its really fits you perfectly!)
Not doing anything extraordinary really. Just being very diligent with the rolling and stretching. Basically I use a LAX ball and the foam roller to roll teh shit out my flexors, my glutes and my IT band. And then I go into a bunch of stretching, the usual runners stretch and other psoas stretches, plus I hit the hammies and glutes…so yeah, nothing “new” just more of it. Like before and after training and on off days…its pretty annoying actually. But it must be done!
I also have switched my work chair and I’m sitting on one of those stupid back-health chairs that looks like a stool, not sure what they’re called. But essentially I sit on it with my leg dangling off of it, so that my flexors aren’t always in 90 degree angle.
What’s interesting is that not only was I able to identify that my Left glute is a lazy bastard, but I also realized that my left flexor is the one that’s always in pain! And then recently my left hip started hurting…its so fucked up!
Germanone recommended a book on the escogue method for pain relief a while back - I ordered it yesterday and I’m waiting for it to arrive so I can be “pain free for life.” We’ll see.
Anyways, sorry for the rant but all this to say that I’m working on my flexors! But…I still haven’t seen any improvement. Flexor still hurts, left glute sill lazy. MEH!
Peaches! Since you spin quite a bit, you should be wary of your hip flexors too! So definitely keep them in mind, you don’t want to end up like me

HAHAH! You’re sick! I wish I could do that! I’d never leave the house…
First off! Thanks again to all for the abs luvin’! I fell off the wagon for a few days there ahem but I’m back!
I was so excited today for squat day, especially since I was off work and had all the time in the world to spend in the gym. Love that!
Everything went swimmingly - nothing exciting to report. Working on my front squats and trying to hit more ATG. Woot woot!
Also started doing my box squats low-bar, which has really helped with the form. Plus the touch and go, burn your bum style. Love it!
And…
For shits and giggles tried out those Anderson squats. Hard as fuck, bro! Seriously, these kicked my ass. SO MUCH FUN! Highly recommendable.
I definitely want to keep em in rotation, but I don’t know where to put them! Just gonna squeeze em in, like I do my jeans. Yeah buddy!
Anyways, did a couple sets at 95, then tried 105. HAH! I’m such a weakling!
I will say, these do help with my knee torque which is sketchy at best. My PT lady will kill me if she found out I was doing these! Whatevs makes duck face and flips hair
