My God, insane volume, I’d probably not be able to finish that workout :). Good job, I have not eaten a reeses in probably close to a year, fuck those are my favorite.
The world needs to know…
Frozen Yogurt BEFORE workout or AFTER?
You do some serious volume girl. Haha makes my workouts seem easy.
I think I need to eat more FroYo…
that workout would have killed me.

both, duh.
Hey Nikki glad to see you are kicking ass after the surgery!
PRs all over the board! Gotta love it.
Thanks Power, I had to think “Well, at least I had a good leg workout” because I was discouraged with my chest and shoulders numbers.
I’m really working on those front squats so look for more improvement N.
I’ll treat you to some chocolate, Austin… then have some Reese’s after 
Lol, I “take” my yogurt after haha
Thanks Deb, it’s great to be back at it.
Oh, I do love all the PRs
Kinda screwy day today. My routine isn’t what I would have liked since I got in the gym late and had to leave a bit early because I had to get a ride home from one of the guys in the gym.
Oh, so no yogurt as well 
Damn, I know you guys only come here for the yogurt

haha, sounds good, I’ll bring the peanut butter, you bring the chocolate :).
Good workout today!
all this talk of yogurt (or lack thereof) is making me hungry!
Hmm, it’s been a while. Definetely missed the gym… and my log.
I mean, I did “work out” yesterday in gym class but I don’t count that since most of my time isn’t spent on ME working out.
Anyway, joined a 2nd/new gym today. I’ll continue to go to the other gym for the remainder of the month, then I’ll decide if I want to continue going there.
So, I’m in love with Gold’s Gym. Great equipment, nice people (except the women who kept giving me ‘the eye’ but whatever). Sadly my eating was attrocious today, I ate at 9:30 this morning and didn’t have my PP shake (2nd meal) until after my workout at 3.
Nikki was a bad girl. A bad, catabolic girl.
Anyway, legs and arms today. Kept the rest between shorts, 1-2 minutes max.

Where have you been? I was this close to spamming your journal with demands for your presence.

Remind me whats wrong with your current gym? I haven’t tried the Gold’s gym here I strongly believe its better than the 24hour I go to. Only the 24 hour is literally a two minute drive from my house and in the morning before work that becomes important.
RE bad eating hon you are at a great weight/size so don’t sweat it too much.
Very nice! When you say DB SLDLs is that DB Straight Leg Deadlifts or DB Single Leg Deadlifts?
Seriously I have a hard time adjusting ours also. Its totally adjustable but its on a swinging lever thingy that I don’t totally understand. And the bar that goes across the achilles has an adjustor but its a screw in one covered with grease. lame.
Again, amazed. How the hell do you do a split squat with your back foot up on a bench with an overhead barbell? I am in danger of eating shit every time with just the dumbells. I swear my balance got fucked with my thyroid disease its almost hilarious how bad it is. If by hilarious I mean embarassing.

Very nice!
Now tell me more about your diet intentions. I think I read early in your journal that you have lost a significant amount of weight in the past? What is bothering you right now? You look absolutely beautiful in your pics.
Lol I’m sorry I disappeared, I rest on the weekends and Mondays aren’t even worth mentioning.
I love my gym! 24 hours, plus I’ve grown to love the people but it’s 40 minutes away. It’ll just be more convenient to have a gym 3 minutes away.
The pros are that the new gym is Gold’s Gym, the con is that it’s NOT 24 hours. Oh well.
It wasn’t BAD eating, just the fact that I didn’t eat anything before my workout. I was so hungry by the time I got to the power rack (Oh yeah, another pro is Gold’s has a power rack, my 24 hour gym doesn’t). From 9:30 to 3 with no food and training?.. bad stuff.
I use SLDLs to say stiff-legged. If I do single leg stiff-legged, I’ll write single-leg SLDLs.
I’ll ask someone to see if it’s adjustable. I swear there’s not a level or knob anywhere on that machine.
Balance schmalance, do what works for you. I just love doing them OH, makes me aware of my posture.
Thank you Doll, I did lose 70 pounds.
Nothing’s bothering me per say, just preparing to compete in July.
When I last checked I was 24% BF, I should be able to get to 12% body fat in 14 weeks (already lost 6 woot).
So that’ll give me enough time to get to my goal weight then focus on contest prep.
Shit, I’m watching Mirrors 2 right now. This shit is so macabre.
Anywho, Hallowed, so you just wanted to know why I’m dieting?

Yes just checking 
Compete? This is exciting! Which comp?
oh and glad you’re starting fourteen weeks out best way to go on that.
hi nikki! i see you are still killing it in here. looks like your numbers keep going up. 50 on the DB rows, that’s good stuff.
i think i read back a few days or week ago you were pressing 45 and 50’s? shit, that’s great! i had worked up to a 2 or 3 reps with 45’s but i stopped training the chest with DBs, so i’ve lost some strength there and i’d like to get back there. nice work.
aaand, apparently i’ve been gone long enough to not know you were going to compete. i see 12% bf so this must be a figure (or BB?) comp…guess i better scroll back. good luck, i’ll be keeping tabs on ya.
Funny, I still feel like I’m rushing this, like it’s short notice. 14 weeks is just to get to the average Figure athlete’s off-season weight, THEN work on getting lower. Shit, I don’t feel prepared.
I’ll be in the NPC Southern States comp.
Thanks T, always a pleasure when you drop by
I can’t remember, definetely not pressing 50s. Shit, don’t I wish I could even get 50s past my shoulders.
You didn’t miss much Darlin, that was the first time I said that I was going to compete.
I’ll be in the Figure category, for teens though. In July I’ll still be 19 so I don’t feel as much pressure to look like the more seasoned Athletes. I saw last years’ Teen Figure winner and I feel confident that I can get to that level.
Ideally, I’ll love to be 8-9% for my comp, but we’ll see.

I know “just do your best” is a total cliche… however in your case your best is guaranteed to be really fantastic. You are SUCH a hard worker I know you’ll get to your goal. One of my GF just did her first “bikini” comp at The Olympia. She didn’t go in with an attitude expecting to win just wanted the experience. She loved every minute of it. ITs a total learning process on all the details of depletion, carb up, tan, suit, posing, etc. etc. etc. I know you’ll do great.
How exciting!!!
I can see you doing that…
