Nice tat MaschyBro
Damn Mini sis you Killed my eyes!!
looking suppa hot and jacked!
and I think you need more new york tracks to train too.
two I rely on heavily
Hello friends! And desculpe. Mars is in retrograde, I have my moon in Venus…this makes me particularly brooding and mopey and annoying (sorry world!). On the plus side, this also makes me OBSESSED with lifting form, which is a good thing at this current stage in time.
Please to skim for name below?
Print, Git, Frenchie - thank you for the lifting inspiration! Definitely adding some of that to my lifting music rotation. RAWR!
BRUTIFUL!!! How’s my other brooding half doing? Gonna check you out in a bit, girl. MUAH! On the forward lean, I’m sorta figuring it out…sometimes I wonder if the forward lean is just a matter of body levers and how one is built, so you could be right on the hard wired. But I think I’ve managed a few form tweaks that may have ameliorated my lean. These are: keeping my chest up and IN FRONT of the bar, which for me means pushing the bar into my back (if that makes sense). Then again, you’re lifting REALLY HUGE weights. Me not so much. So we’ll see what happens when I get on with the big girl plates.
Bird - Thank you!! Ass pics? Ok! Git sent me some of his the other day. I’ll get those up for you soon, mkay? giggity
Hi Busy! Thanks you!
Nadia! Sup hooker, I’m going to answer you separately - see below.
MiMsy, my MD mama! Thanks, girl! Short and stocky FTW! Also going to answer you separately - see below.
Matty!! Thanks, bro! I know you like your ladies thick 
Lula, hiya girlie! <3!
Spock - Hai! Imma trying! And yeah, my MP is a joke. I seriously am a terrible pusher.
Olee - LOL! I miss you cray cray. And thank you! Your body is fucking slammin’, so yeah…did I mention I miss you?
Thanks, Cal! I think I do have more muscle now…I’m definitely feeling stronger. But I’m back to wearing a comfortable smedium, so it could’ve just been the carbs 
SCJ! Hi sexy! Nom back at ya.
Joe - Thanks for the music! Too Drunk to Fuck happens to be one of my favorite kareoke songs!
Up, hiya lovey!! And thanks girl. Yeah, it would be insane to say these results came in 2 weeks! You’re right about that. I’ve been lifting for 2+ years now, i best have something to show for it! And your right about the head in the game these last 2 weeks (hee hee!). Its been a whirlwind, girl. Kinda overwhelming and stuff. You know me! I’m such a mess sometimes. Lets see how then next few months go…And thanks on the back! If only I had your taper!! I’d be an amazonian.
Rod, YAY! Hi soon-to-be-daddy
Ddot! Thank you!! I’ve been inspired by you and Frenchie - tryin’ to get swole, bro!
Edgy - You’d never wear panties…that would be ridiculous
Hallie, goddess of the night!! Yeah, the 1800/100 is my golden ticket! I basically put on 5 lbs since 2009 and have stayed the same weight since then. Gotta be working for me!
Kimba and Peaches - thanks lovers!!
Tech - Thank you too!! Tris all day baby, all day! No seriously, the tris are important, especially for Oly!
LilPower! DAMN!!! When you say I’m an inspiration…well, I don’t even know what to say to that! And I can’t believe you want to see my PLing log?! I’m kinda honored. So since you asked, I’ll give an update - see below
Rocky! Hugz and kisses!!
Kmac! tiny super jocks unite! Get some biggie and wu tang up in this bitch! Got those on rotation. Booya!

do you train in some form or fashion everyday?
would you taper the carbs at night if you knew you were just going on a walk the next day?(for example)
and YES!!! to what Nadia said. You were made for this shizz[/quote]
MiMsy, well…
Now that I’m a POWERLIFTER! , I’ve scheduled 1 rest day. So i’m doing 4 lifting days, 2 conditioning/cardio days (depending on how I feel re: Doms). Were I doing a different kind of training, for soccer for example, I might be training 7 days a week. Normally, I can run 14 days straight of some form of training when I’m at the peak of my hormone cycle, but then I deload pre-menses. I’m all about capitalizing on strong days.
As for the food sitch, no I wouldn’t plan to eat moderatley the night before if I knew I were resting the following day. What I would do is eat as I normally would the night before, and then probably NOT have any snacks that day (i wouldn’t be hungry for them anyways) and start my feed earlier, say after work, rather than at 9p after the gym. Warrior-diet is pretty auto-regulating once you get the hang of it.

Hey?!! You’re powerlifting and you’re running crazy ass track workouts (mentioned in Kimba’s log) why no loggie? Where are you coming up with those crazy ass track workouts anyway?
I would like to read about your training. Damn it–you selfish whore!! Don’t make me go Jersey on your ass.
Edited to add: Back looks fucking amazing! Tells the story of your strength, your committment, your hard work and dedication. Love it.[/quote]
Alright, bitch, I can’t deprive you of the puke worthy track workouts, that’s for sure.
Basically the track stuff was training I was doing in prep for soccer season sob But since that got sidelined (punny!) I switched the more aggressive long sprints for just some 400 tempo runs. I don’t want to stop the conditioning while I’m PLing. I can’t! Its part of my true nature.
On my condo day, I also do a jump program which was also in prep for soccer - my broad jump is getting pretty good!
Frankly, I think this stuff is bolstering my lifting. But I’m not sports scientists, so what do I know?
Here’s the fucking 'orrible one (these are the times you should aim for):
800 x 1 rest 2:00 min ( 3:30)
400 x 2 rest 60 sec ( 1:45)
2 min rest
200 x 3 rest 60 sec ( :45)
2 min rest
100 x 4 rest 45 sec ( :18)
7 min rest
Repeat starting at 100s working back up to 800
I only ONCE repeated this, and I almost fucking died.
And here’s what the tempo run looks like:
400 run 200 walk
repeat 6 times
complete in 27.5 min or less
This one isnt so bad, I did it in 21 minutes. The 400s are nasty, but as a soccer player, I can recover at a jog pretty easy. Recovery is my strong suit. Lol! No surprise there.
Have fun, you nut!
Ok! And finally…Lifting!
As a reminder, my goal is to add as much as is realistically possible to my maxes by April. Why April? Because I am a) super goal oriented b) still capitalizing on my newbie gains c) feeling out the whole PLing bit
Once I re-test my maxes in April, I’ll reassess and see where I want to take my lifting from there.
As I mentioned, I’m running a linear periodization - something akin to 8s, 5s, 3-2-1.
I’m just finishing up my 3rd and final week of 8s. So there’s been quite a bit of volume. Basically, I’m prepping, trying to get my stremfs up and my form nailed down. Next week I’ll start on the 5s. Here’s a sample of what I’ve been doing these last few weeks:
Monday - Squat bonanza!
squat 8x45, 65, 2x8x95, 3x105, 3x8x120
oly squat 2x8x115
ft squat 8x75, 95, 105
GMs 8x75, 8x75, 85, 85
BSS (goblet style) 8x30, 45, 45
Hip thrust - 15x30, 35, 45
pistol 8xBW, 5, 5
I repeat, i have no idea how you bitches RDL, Hip thrust and GM your weight! You fuckers are hardcore.
Tuesday - Bench day
Bench 8x45, 65, 6x80, 3x8x90
inc bench 8x45, 75, 85, 85
weighted pushups - 4x8x15
single arm DB row - 8x40, 50, 50
Rear delt - 12x15, 20, 15x15
lat raise - 8x15, (20/2, 6/15), 8x15
skull crushers - 12x40, 11x45, (3/50, 8/45)
weighted chins (12 total) - 4x3x10
I definitely feel like I’m getting stronger, and my form is getting more streamlined.
For my squat - Its almost getting to where I envision it (nod to Germanone and Nadia, who I use as my vision). Its so close! I think I definitely have my form pretty much figured out, just gotta get my technique down. I want it to be clean and beautiful!! bangs fist on table Sigh…
For my bench - I really have no clue on bench technique. Again, I’m just mimicking what I see in vids (Up’s vids re: grip, also Frenchie’s old vids re: setup). I brought out my grip quite a bit and that’s def made me feel more solid. Who knew you had to have your grip so wide?!?!
Today I do my jumping and sprints and agility and ball work.
Then its upper and DL - will report back by Saturday with the crazy 8s on that shiz.
YAY!!! Numbers!
Cute, dedicated and strong…triple win.

((((((((((((shudder)))))))))))))
Training looks solid Mascherz. Any other squat variations you can think to throw in on that day? LOL, I kid. Keep at it, you’ll be PR’in likeaboss.jpg in NO TIME
yeah on getting stronger!!
have you found something to fuel yourself on the longer days?
Those look like some killer sessions…me likey. Is this program a Maschy original?

All day baby!
I can’t wait to be squatting some big plates though. All those dinky plates are ridiculous. I got no cred! But I must be patient.
Frenchie! Honestly, no. I don’t hungry before I train, and when I train I don’t really get hungry. Or not more than I would if I had eaten that day. I just go to the gym, go home and then eat my face off! Then go to sleep. Lol. BUT if I do train in the morning I WILL be hungry that day, and I’ll eat normal. When you write it out, it sounds terribly unhealthy…but I assure you I feel great. I just had a nice cup of mocklate!
I only refuel at the gym if it’s longer than 2 hours - which seems to be the trend on my saturday deadlift days. Listening to your body is not unhealthy.

Hey Matty!! lol! Nah, this is def not original Maschy. I think people used to train like this back in the good ol’ days. Lol!
Actually, I asked Germanone to help me with this program - told him what kind of style I like to train in, what I don’t like, and he helped me concoct this bad boy. I think its going to be fun. I also like the way German trains - lots of mid-rep range stuff, which I find particularly fun.
The PLing is going to be a bit different for me when I get down to low rep range. I’m used to higher reps, being a conditioning junkie, but I’m excited to see what the training brings!
I’m not sure if this is realistic, but I’m def aiming by April:
2BW DL - 260
1.5BW Squat - 205
BW Bench - 135
Its fucking lofty, but you know me. Fuck it! Let’s do this ish!
