nice rep PR’s![/quote]

Thanks, they’re not too shabby

Hey Nikki - did I ever tell you about the time I was un-prepared for my period and someone lent me a tampon only I had never used them before? I was in the stall for like 30 minutes trying to figure it out. lol. growing pains I suppose.

still seeing a lot of PR’s, not that I should doubt of course :slight_smile:

Gawd, boobs can really be a drawback in the weightroom sometimes, huh?

Actually, being a woman in general can be a real drawback in the weightroom sometimes…

kudos to you for that killer leg workout during your ladytime.

Had some time before I got picked up so did some forearms (forgive me, I’m not aware of the forearm exercise lingo so I’ll screw up the names)

Reverse wrist curls (behind the back)
40# x 20
50# x 15
60# x 15
I kept the 60# bar and supersetted the reverse wrist curls for the seated wrist curls with elbows on knees, 30#
Did several supersets of these

Yeah I probably made that a lot more complicated than it is… simply put, forearms got swole.

^I LOVE women who do pull-ups. Assistance or not, good numbers.

Yeah me too.

Good work Nikki

back day of death! you killed it!

Aww thank you guys :slight_smile:

Continue wrecking it, hun. You are doing great.

I know this post is a little belated, but you don’t have to worry about going all “catabolic” because you did not have something to eat before you worked out. I know, this is a little against the grain, especially on this site, and I drank the Kool-Aid too, for a long time. The truth is, you would not see the metabolism take a hit until you were fasting for a minimum of 60 hours, and probably more like 72 to 96.

In fact, up until then, the surge of epinephrine and norepinephrine would get that motor humming even faster. So don’t fret missing a meal. And if you are trying to peel lbs. for a show, then you are going to be catabolic anyway.

Sorry, my inner scientist compels me.

“My God, amazing how we got this far. It’s like we’re chasing all those stars.”

Workout was average today; had its highs and lows. One of the lows being some stupid ass decides to introduce himself between my sets. I seriously have no time for a meet and greet. So I blew him off. He walked away so discouraged but I could give two shits.

I love when you talk science to me babe :wink:

Front squat PR’s makes for a pretty good lifting session in my book!
kisses from the frenchie xx

What didn’t you like about the rack pulls?

yeah tell me more on the rackpulls too.
For me I can kill them when I really focus on pushing down through my feet off the floor hard and then just hips forward. BAM!
LOL

You know how you go to a museum, and the experience can influence how much you actually like the art?.. that was how the rack pulls were for me.

Because I’m vertically challened, I had to fit a step into the power rack… I was trying to budge that in for about 5 minutes. I stood on top of the step ready to do the pulls and the rack still came up mid-thigh. So I had to walk to the OTHER side of the gym (this is Gold’s Gym, so walking to the other side of the gym is like walking to the opposite end of a mall) so I can haul back 4 risers. 5 minutes of pulling and tugging the step out of the rack, putting in the risers then placing the step back in the rack… yeah, I’d rather do the DLs.

Can’t argue with that.

Mebe you should pull in some super thick wedges. Or platform heels. Then maybe throw on a bikini and invite me and Dixie too.

Okay, that last part was the endorphines speaking. Sounds like you might as well do dls…
