Big Bencher, first, I don’t care for praise. I’m just logging my work like everyone else. Second, I’m very interested to hear why you feel that way. Care to expand?

BB is just fucking with you. He’s my guy and we train together. He’s likely to get on my case about doing too much so the ‘doing too little’ comment was tongue in cheek. He’s being bad and I’ll give him a sternly worded note 
Nice training btw. The Kroc rows looked great.
looking hot girlie! great progress!
Thanks MiM, still got a ways to go to catch you, Ms. Hawt Abz.
Thank you Hall, LastStand, N, and Cal muah
Still love to love ya Print <3
I have no idea K-Man, a rock song, I’m sure. My iPod is mainly for show, people are LESS inclined to speak to me. Notice LESS inclined, there’s still a lot of bold guys who don’t care that I’m listening to music or in the middle of FST-7… no, they just want to chat.
LOL ouroboro, no sternly worded note is needed, I understand. Thanks for dropping by
I blush Alpha, thank you and welcome to the log.
Took a rest day today, back at it tomorrow.
Thanks for the love everyone
It seems as if my deload is being forced upon me. I was going to start my deload this coming Friday, but my body decided that today is the more opportune time.
With that said, I got very little done in the gym today, but it wasn’t a complete waste.
Bench Press
65 x 10
95 x 12 (at least this is getting easier and easier to do)
105 x 10 Rep PR; got a vid but it cut off around rep 7 or 8 
Incline DB press sucked
The bar hurt too much to continue with military press so I stopped there.
Not sure a PR counts as a deload but if all you did was bench, considering your a volume queen, then I won’t bust your balls.
happy deload.
p.s I like your form, nice and tight, bar touching chest, going up smoothly in a nice vertical line. good stuff small fry 
Oh I didn’t start my deload TODAY.
Uhm, I’ll rephrase.
After my crappy day in the gym today, I decided (after I left the gym) that my deload can’t be postponed anymore, and needs to start ASAP rather than Friday like I planned
Err, that’s probably still confusing
Sorry lol
And thank you.
EDIT:
This explains it better:
Me before gym: Yeah Nikki, let’s tear up some weight today! My deload starts Friday (the 19th) so let’s make this a good last week!
Me after bench press: Aww, I’m not doing too well. My body needs the deload from now. leaves gym bummed
aww, we can’t all be rock stars week after week…chin up!!
Looking good in the progress pics, your quads are looking monstrous. Impressive krock rows as well, they are always fun.
…I just needed to be a rockstar for a few more days…
Thanks behexen 
there are posing tutorials online, dude.
vids
That’s a good idea… I already saw posing vids on youtube, it’s just hard for me to pose in 10 seconds (that’s when the timer on my camera takes the picture)
I feel so rushed and I can’t get in position that quickly yet.
But making vids will be a lot easier. Hmm…
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Not a big deal if your head isn’t in it every now again. You have enough discipline to get it straight. Enjoy today, tomorrow is a new day.
The bench looked good!
I deload around hormones (i.e roughly the week before my period starts) - so basically i deload about every 3 weeks. Can you imagine if boys did the same?
Anyways, for me its useless to push for maxes the few days before my period b/c its always unsatisfying weak sauce and I’m also be more prone to injury (for various reasons). In other words, sometimes its best just to listen to your body and go with the deload.
Po-sing vids! Po-sing vids!
I struggle a lot with the when to push when to rest problem. Good for you for listening to your body.
I swear I smelled red hair somewhere round here.
omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg
Good job on the bench PR. Enjoy your deload even though you had to start a bit early and know that you are going to kill it in the gym next week when you are all refreshed.
WOW!!! You look amazing!! look at that ass!! its super cup-able!! Great Job!
UM. WHOA. those Krocs are outstanding as well! you blow me completely out of the water…dammit :}
And you’re smart to listen to your body and chill when you need to. there’s such a severe level of frustration that goes on when its fighting you the entire time.
Deloads are PART OF THE PROCESS Girly.
Just think of your muscles growing ALL GINORMOUS!
Thanks Print, my head isn’t in it a lot more times, but usually I push through it and end up having a great workout. Yesterday wasn’t one of those times.
Maschy, funny you mention that since it appears to be the time of the month.
TOM and body telling me to deload has put me in a lethargic, negative mood
Thank you Nadia, and sorry to disappoint Count???
Unless someone has red hair?
Moving on.
Thanks LastStand, I’m definetely looking forward to some good numbers.
Hey Brute-iful, thanks mucho <3
I love songs with messages
I guess I should still try to keep my journal out of the abyss, so I’ll try to update with pertinent stuff.
Hmm, I did play basketball today. I can’t shoot for shit, and I’m short as all hell, but I’m great defense.
Lost 12-14 though. Ah well, I got the people the ball, it was their job to make points
Definetely keeping on point with diet. If I don’t get a posing vid on Friday for you guys, then it’s just because my period’s making me feel fat and I won’t dare step in front of a camera, so it’ll be next week.
Sorry to miss you Hal.
Yes they’re part of the process, but it doesn’t mean I gotta like it
