Aha, gotta love strong girls scaring little children.
gross bugs. 
idiot teacher. sad thing is I bet she had kids hurt themselves trying to show off and such and she got blamed for it.
Yeah, I would say that the spectators are getting kinda old since I have people gawking at me in my gym and now the school gym… but no, it’s not getting old.
Kids showing off is just pathetic, I’ll never understand it snicker
/my hypocrisy
So, I finally got a new workout journal. Actually it isn’t so much a journal or even new, it was supposed to be a diary but I’m using it as my new workout log.
Anyway, now that I have the workouts written again, I’ll start posting my workouts again.
They’re still long so if anyone’s sensitive about it then… oh well.
Today did hamstrings, glutes, calves and biceps.
I’m still working on my new split since my last “split” of squat/DL twice a week was only for a month while things got adjusted in my gym class.
But, I am loving hamstrings and biceps only. It works for me.
So it’s a keeper in my routine.
First, during my warm-up I did 6 of the neutral grip pull ups for a couple sets.
I didn’t work back, just want to improve on them to progress into bigger things (like hmm, let’s see… a damn pull up maybe)
Walking lunges
40 x 20
50 x 20 x 3
SLDLs
65 x 12
95 x 12
105 x 10 x 2 PR I guess, just progressing. Most I did before was 95.
Snatch DLs
135 x 10
185 x 1
205 x 1
210 x Fail
Just blending PL and BB. I don’t want to lose my strength on the DLs since my goal is still to get 4 plates by the end of the year
GMs
45 x 6
65 x 10
95 x 6
Leg Press (High and wide)
180 x 12
270 x 12 x 2
Seated leg curl
80 x 12
90 x 10
85 x 10
Prone leg curl
70 x 6
60 x 10 x 2
65 x 9 (ugh, I hate odd rep numbers)
Bulg Split Squat
40 x 12 (each leg of course)
60 x 10 x 2
When I pressed the 60 lbs overhead and had it in position, I saw that my shoelaces came untied. I had to ask a stranger to tie it for me because I was too lazy to put the bar down, tie my shoe then pick the BB back up. I was surprised that I even got the 60 # up there. I didn’t want to press my luck.
Poor guy.
Glute kickback machine
90 x 12
110 x 12
130 x 12
Hip Extension
90 x 12
130 x 10
140 x 10
Did calves on the calf extension machine, leg press, standing and seated. I probably did around 15 sets total.
BB Curls
50 x 8
40 x 12
50 x 12
60 x 4
The 50 x 12 is definetely a PR. I probably could have done it for the first set but my leg was shaking so much (well, calves were pretty intense) and I felt foolish having my leg shake like a damn dog getting their belly scratched in front of everyone.
For the 50 x 12, I just figured “Fuck it, I’ll be a bitch. Shake leg, and let’s get an awesome PR.”
Preacher curls
30 x 12
40 x 12
50 x 5
Did some unilateral cable curls.
Left side is stronger.
WTF? Am I the only Rightie whose left side is stronger than right?
Just about it. Didn’t write down everything for biceps and calves because it’s not that interesting.
I figure I’m boring enough without ALL the details.
woah u do bulgarian split squats with the bar OVERHEAD?? damn that’s intense. like those don’t suck enough with the bar on one’s back. lol
I’ve definitely eaten food with bugs in it…knowingly. Some cheeses, for example, when left to age are a nice home for little wormies, and you just have to eat the worms with the cheese!
Looks like an excellent workout to me!
I also press (clean?) the bar for split squats and lunges - its like an extra little workout…so nice to multi-task 
Hilarious about the strange tying your show btw! HAH! you’re ballsy.
I’m in the same boat - right handed and stronger on the left side. Maybe we compensate with the left…?
I feel the glutes more when the weight’s overhead.
Before I had a gym membership, I did them with a 40 lb sandbag. That’s hard too. The lack of stability and balance makes you want to die.
Thanks for the heads up Maschy, I’m now cutting cheese out of my diet
Girl I don’t know the lingo. Press, clean, poof the bar overhead. All the same to me.
Your left side is stronger too? Interesting…

Lol! me neither, but i’m fairly certain this is a poof…
At any rate, now i understand - you actually hold the bar overhead as in an overhead squat, that’s pretty cool. Probably great for the abs too. I’ll have to try that some time! If I dare…
Your a beast in the gym, never ceases to amaze me.

I call bullshit, you were around 4’11" then you were 5 flat, now you’re 5’1" you grow faster than me during the summer after fifth grade. Either way, you don’t pass my waist. 
Thanks Behexen
Chris, I was never 4’11, who the fuck said this?!
And back then I always thought that I was 5’1, until I was corrected
Workout
First off, I’m writing this while eating the most delicious yogurt ever. Oreos on bottom, chocolate frozen yogurt, marshmallows and chocolate sauce. Orgasmic. These marshmallows are magically fuckin delicious.
Okay, now workout.
Went really light on the legs.
Squats
Back Squat (Out of the rack, ATG)
95 x 12
115 x 12
135 x 10
155 x 1, 2
I did more sets with the 135 but didn’t record cuz I was just playing around with using a belt. Some guys been telling me to use one forever but today was the first time I tried it, someone lent me theirs. The belt was a medium and they said that I needed a small but I liked it despite the belt riding up. They also saw an improvement in my form, so that’s good.
I might buy one soon, who knows.
Oh and then a guy I don’t know was saying that he can’t get that low.
I love squatting out of the rack now, even though I can’t push up the same numbers 
Leg Press
270 x 12 x 2
360 x 10 x 2
Leg Extension
90 x 12
110 x 10
130 x 10
Bench Press
75 x 10
95 x 8
105 x 8
115 x 4
135 x 1
All of these except for 135 done without spotter… scary shit.
DB Incline Press
35 x 12
40 x 6
40 x 8
No progression here at all. Couldn’t get the 45s up and 40 x 10, shit I’ll take 40 x 9, just wasn’t happening. Maybe cuz I did them after bench? Who knows.
Dips
BW x 12
BW + 35 x 8
BW +35 x 10 PR
Military Press
50 x 12
60 x 7 (PR)
55 x 10 x 2
BB Front raises
20 x 12 x 2
Leaning Lateral Raises
12.5 x 12 x 2
15 x 10
HSPUs
2 sets of 6
I mainly did these because I loved the pump that I got from the lateral raises, and wanted an even bigger pump.
Tricep pushdowns
22.5 x 12
27.5 x 9, 12
32.5 x 10
SS skullcrushers/ close grip bench press
30 and 40 lb BB
send me some of the yogourt plz
I got one of those yogurt places a few miles from the house, dangerous! That shit’s SOOOO good, it’s rediculous.
Just awaiting the bosu ball video
Nice job doing the HSPU’s, I’ve been meaning to do those again

That’s sexy.
And me 3 on the overhead squatting.
And I am a lefty, am stronger on my left side, but the muscle bellies on my right arm look sexier. Win some you lose some I guess.
Ah, you and your 20 yr old metabolism…
Great training Nik!
Well done on the squat form - i say hold off on the belt until you absolutely need one. But that’s just me.
HAH! Pump whore! I abandoned the HSPUs b/c they were keeling my shoulders
40x8 on the DB incline press is good! I’m also chasing those 45 on the DB presses (for months now WTF?!). Do you try alternating arms? So like if you need to hit 10, you press with both arms as you normally would and once you hit your point of fatigue, start alternating arms. Could help you eek out 1 or 2 more reps. Or maybe get a spot and hit those 45s, that might help too - just to feel them out. Anyways, you’ll get them girlie!
Weighted dips?! You’re a maniac.
You deserve that yogurt and some!
Dang, I thought I like volume…that’s some workout Nikki!
Nikki, you are KILLING ME with those walking lunges and BSS with weight on the bar overhead. JEEZ-US that is strong work.
I have my yogurt everyday post workout.
I lost a lot of strength on the HSPUs after the surgery so I’m not too happy about them.
But thank you.
My muscles look better on the left side. I’m so screwed up.
19 year old metabolism Maschy.
That’s what I was telling them, that my squats aren’t good enough to need a belt but I’m kind of considering it due to the volume my lower back takes. I don’t know yet.
I don’t like spotters for DBs. They’re only 45s dammit, they’ll laugh at me needing help with that. The guys there are freaking pressing 100+ DBs and I need help to get my 45s overhead?!? Bah.
No Power, I am the volume whore. Thank you.
& thank you Kim Darlin’.
Today was a planned hamstrings/glutes day. I don’t know if I was just super pissed off with my bf or mother or if my body doesn’t want to do hamstrings twice in a week, but regardless of the reason, hamstrings/glutes was cut short.
Walking lunges
60 x 20
60 x 24
70 x 20
SLDLs
75 x 12
100 x 12
110 x 12 x 2 PR
120 x 10 PR
Seated leg curl
70 x 12 x 2
80 x 8
I wasn’t feeling the prone leg curl today. Sucks, since it’s better than seated.
Biceps
Barbell curls
30 x 25 x 3
40 x 12, 15
Did the high reps for a nice pump. It worked, my biceps swole up after the first set.
DB Preacher curls
10 x 30
15 x 12 Hammer style
BB Preacher curls
30 x 20
40 x 7
Abs
SS standing cable crunch with hanging leg raises
Did 15 minutes HiiT on a broken bike. I just wanted to use a bike, regardless of whether it was in working condition or not.
It was a 1:1 ratio, 30 seconds on/off
nah homey, 2 45DBs = 90 lbs which is over half your body weight!! I mean, how big are these dudes using 100Dbs? I bet they weigh A LOT more than you do…Evs. Its a HUGE accomplishment to press 45dbs as a chick. When i first started with 40s I needed help getting them up, just got someone to push my elbows up. Once they were up I was able to rep 4-6. I’m not sure what the mechanics are behind that, but getting them up is half the battle. But you can just keep your pride and wittle away without a spot, and i’ll get a spot and keep my HYOOGE chesticles
Is the SS standing cable crunch from the recent TN aticle on abzzzz? I read the article but stopped at “these exercises are sure to give a nice THICK waist” HAHA! Of course I tried the “Dragon Flag” last night - yeah…my body doesn’t work that way.
120 on the SDLS is good stuff btw.
Oh and fuck you and your 19 yr old metabolism. Luv ya!
I’m very proud, I will admit this.
My goal is 50 lb DBs. That’ll be wicked.
I’ll use a spotter next time… dammit.
I just looked at the article, yes it is.
I’ve always done them, either standing or kneeling.
I’m just finally writing down my workouts.
Thanks Amore <3
wait a minute…one legged overhead squats?? oh boy! i got to try this…and fall on my ass! wooohooo! go nikki!! :D!
