I was wondering if you’d want to squat with me Dixie, but I didn’t want to be rude and just invite myself 
I was actually playing around with my grip a lot today. I slept on my arm wrong last night so my arms were uncomfortable no matter where I put them (made the 20 rep squats even harder than normal). That wide grip was actually the least painful, but I do prefer the more narrow grip, for the reason that you mentioned. Also, I feel like I’m a bird with the wider grip 
Awesome squat video. Your a beast. You can come squat with me anytime.
I wanna be strong like you when I grow up!
Nice squatting. Real slow and controlled
So many squat dates, thanks Behexen <3
blush Oh Miss Plucky, you flatter me. I don’t think that I’ve ever heard that here so I’m truly touched.
Kalle, I see nothing but sexy back. Would you like to squat with me too?
Gym today. Pull.
For deadlifts, I pulled 215x1 (PR)… so close to 4 plates, I’m hoping to get that soon pout
Best set of chins today were 4 chins with 18 lbs of assistance. Still working on unassisted chins for more than 1 rep. Then I can go to a pull-up bar station, grab a bench to stand on so I can actually reach it then be impressive
Tried to murder my biceps with drop sets; I used the squat rack bar (yeah yeah, I was a SRC, bite me), 40 lb, 30 lb, and 20 lb BB. I think it worked. I’ll be able to tell later tonight or tomorrow morning.
15 minutes HiiT, pardon the non-hardcore of it. Did 2 mph rest, 7 mph sprint on 15% incline. I’ll try to be brave next time and do 10 mph; I sure will hate to go flying off the TM.
Oh, also had my BF taken in gym yesterday, I’m at 24%. So there, if anyone was ever curious, there it is 
Oh, and 146 lbs.
Oh and hear about my delicious PWO frozen yogurt.
I got the cup, put a layer of crushed oreos on the bottom, but Cheesecake frozen yogurt on top, put cheesecake bites on top of that, then topped it with raspberry sauce.
Talk about sexy
drool
Hey there young lady, as I was looking at your squats in the previous page you seem to shift your weight to the left. Are you left handed or is your left leg stronger than your right. You can see it as you come up and from experience, with heavier weight, you will naturally do what is needed to get the weight up. Just an observation. Must commend you on your form. Waaaayyy beter than mine!
On your DL’s, one advise that was giving to me is to imagine ripping the weight off the floor. If you take that approach, 225 will be there sooner than you think. Try adding some bands if you have them to build more explosiveness.
All-in-all, you have excellent form and I am jealous! Keep slamming those weights and maybe you will be turned to the dark side of lifting called (Powerlifting)! LOL
that squat vid cured me right up Nikki- good depth too. very proud of you and yeah for the dips!

haha thanks, sure how about Friday? I squat every Friday.
On your pull nice work on the pr. Got to be happy when they come even if its not the number you want. If you keep getting pr’s eventually you’ll get your goal and more.
Yes, I’ve been drooling for the yogurt since yesterday, and now I’m enjoying it again.
Absolutely Sergaent! I noticed that the left leg was stronger for a while now. I just incorporated some unilateral training to help make it stronger without depending on my left. My right quad is lagging .5 inch behind my left 
Today I tried something new, kind of to “activate” my right quad. I did front squats, with my right heel raised on a plate. It seemed to work for my first few working sets, then my left leg started taking over again. Maybe one-legged presses and extensions will get my right leg up to par.
Thank you so much, I’m flattered blush
Thanks N, see I worked on my depth haha
Aww, I hope to continue making you proud
I squatted today too Kalle. You see, we’re two in the same.
I’m not worried about the DL, as long as I continue to progress in some way, then I’m happy.
I’m just anxious to hit 4 plates… yeah that’ll be hot.
OK, training time!
Today was push.
Tortured my quads today from every which angle. I’m also getting back into bodybuilding; I’m thinking of high reps with a couple low reps thrown in and BAM! I’ll be happy. I don’t want to get rid of my 1-3 reps just yet. Probably never will so whatever.
So my squats looked something like 115 x 12, 135 x 8, realized 8 was a tad low so went back down to 125 and 115. Yadda yadda.
Did get a 165 on tape though (you see the left leg taking charge again… ARGH!)
Look at those assholes walk in front of my camera… I’m making a video here!
Stupid boys, of course just walking back and forth working their chest, just like they do everyday.
Still love them though, they’re good peoples.
Anyway, after killing my quads I moved to chest.
Sorta bad news here. I started with dumbell incline first (got a PR of 40 x 8 x 2, so doing big things there) then did high reps before my 135 x 1. So it wasn’t a good lift. Tuesday though I’ll start off with that and get a good vid of it. I do have the vid of the 135, but it’s not worth posting. Plus I hate it. I look and sound like a damn moron.
More bad news, I got my 115 x 2 on tape… but my cheap ass camera doesn’t want to hold 3 complete videos so this is all it got.
Yeah, FML.
Excuse my sloppy appearance, no reason to dress up today. Of course that doesn’t stop the staring and requests for phone numbers.
Guys are so easy to please.
Hmm, yogurt <3
Regarding squatting and your left leg, consciously think to use both legs evenly and keep up the unilateral work.
Regarding the squat video…DAT ASS!
What happend to that bench video!!! cuts off before you do the reps…
Great work as usual, and my legs buckle a little bit on squats too, it kind of stopped when I backed of on weight for a bit and began focusing more on form, and also once I began getting a lot stronger on hammie work it helped a lot…
Great shit as always!
DF, yeah that’s one of the million things I have to think about.
Don’t yell at me Austin!
I’ll post my 135 x Fail to somewhat make up for it.
I’ll get a good vid of it next week… you know, when I don’t do 5 sets of DB incline bench and high reps flat bench before.
Good work in here Nikki
Nice squat, nice ass. That video beats the hell out of any of the shit in theaters these days.

Haha, damn, I thought yesterday was national Bench PR day, I got one :).
J/k and I think you could have gotten that 135, your grip is almost as wide a mine from the looks of the video, I’d try a little closer of a grip and tucking the elbows in a little more, throw a slight back arch in there and that shit should explode of your chest. Strong work!

x2 what he said here
Thank you Power and Behexen <3
Thanks Austin, I’ll keep that in mind when I bench tomorrow.
Bummy workout today. My mentality is kinda fucked up right now and I let distractions… uhm, distract me.
Since it was a short workout, I’ll post my pull workout.
Stiff-legged deficit DLs
65 x 12
95 x 8? I don’t know, but the reps were too low, so I reduced the weight
75 x 12
Did some deficit RDLs
135 x 10
115 x 12
If I did any more sets, I can’t remember.
Did standing single leg curls in the leg extension machine
I liked it, plus I need the unilateral leg work.
Did leg press, high and wide.
180, 270, 360, 270, all were 12 reps.
Seated leg curls
70, 90, 110, all 12 reps
Prone leg curls
Extended sets (1 leg, 2/1, both legs) 2 sets
Weight was 30 and 40.
Did some glute work, not really interesting.
Back
For pulldowns, I used a bar I never used before. It’s like the wide grip pulldown, but it has handles for kind of a neutral grip. Anyway, I like that now.
35, 40, 50, 47.5, all 12 reps.
Triangle bar cable row
35 x 12
50 x 12 x 2
Straight arm pulldown
20, 25, 30 all 12 reps
DB Rows (went light, I could do 60+ for 12 reps but I didn’t care)
30 x 12
40 x 12
Decided to try my luck with unassisted chins so I set up a step with 10 risers or something so I can reach. Stupid gym with their tall-people equipment. I did better than I thought I can though… well, I thought that I’ll get half a rep but I actually got 3 in the 1st set, 2 in the 2nd, and singles/a couple doubles in the rest of the sets.
And that was it, I thought I was done. When I was in the shower I realized that I forgot to do rear delts and biceps. I’m disappointed since I like working rear delts and I need the bicep work but I’ll remember next pull day.
Tomorrow I know that I’ll have a better workout, so I’m just waiting for that.
