Haha Hal I didn’t mean it like that.
On leg day I’m a little more laid back (gives me an opportunity to talk to the eye candy as well) since I don’t have to work as many muscles.
On upper body day though I blast my iPod and I’m pretty much like “Leave me alone.”
The other day I had to ask these guys if they were using a pair of DBs and for some reason they were taking forever to answer and I just didn’t have time for the "Uhh"s so I just walked away. Those precious seconds are lost ;D
But on leg day I’ll talk to people, and don’t put up my “wall”. I’m still a social butterfly and it hurts to have to ignore people on certain days, but I gotta think of me too.
So, I didn’t have my nuts and raisins, I knew I needed more protein so I made a protein pancake with chopped dried apricots on top. Definetely Nom.
But I’m still under 1200 calories for the day so I think a cheat is warranted.
Can you say Frozen Yogurt?.. Oh yeah.

Haha, I’m the exact opposite–strictly business on leg day and social on upper body day. As Layne Norton says; upperbody is fun day, leg days is business! Guess it depends on your goals though. I’ve gotta say nikki, I’ve got to scroll through a lot of text to find your workouts–you’ve got over half the nation posting in here it seems!
1200 cals a day and ~six months out!?!? Crazyness, I might’ve missed it, but are you having someone do your diet?
Yeah Nik… I also wanna know who is doin your diet for ya.
You getting at 1200 cals every day?
I only need to be left alone on my circuit days. DO NOT TALK TO ME on Monday Morning! (Um, or Thursday LOL)

Z1 in a log, your cardio is typing out your workout.
And +25lbs on the pullups is kickass. I need to step up my weighted pull up game.
Oh and I am a big fan of the new trend of posting your own pics [/quote]
LMAO you give me something to aspire to with the Z1 idea ;D
Nah, not even I could do that. Unless I did only 1 set of each exercise.
Don’t worry, I’m not giving anyone a run for their money with the pull-ups haha

HSPUs ftw! Your way of setting up HSPUs seems much more sane than mine. I’ve always kicked up to the wall and did them facing away from the wall. There’s a higher probablility of a foot going through the wall though if you have drywall! [/quote]
I panic when I try to do them the other way.
I envy people who do them your way though.

My upper body is my main goal because I don’t want the judges to think that my upper body doesn’t match my lower body so I try to give my upper body undivided attention.
And I appreciate half the nations’ comments!
I do my diet, and I think I said it before, that I cycle my calories. So it’s not 1200 calories A day, it was just 1200 cals THAT day. After the yogurt, it was more like 1500 cals anyway.
Some days I have to force myself to eat 1200 calories, other days I have to force myself not to eat over 3000. It’s just my mood.
So cycling is convenient for me.

Thot I’d stop by to spread some X-mas cheer…

you know Nikki-cheeks, I would pay to sit and watch you sweat through your workouts in that little bra number. With all that volume I know it would be worth my money

HAHAH! Me too!
I’d actually love to train with anyone of you bitches. I bet that would be beyond fun!
Oy BB Walking lunges. I know they’re good for you, but for some reason I just don’t “feel” lunges. Like they don’t work for me or something. And when I do them walking I feel these sort of weird little strains in my quads! So I don’t do them…
Anywho, nice training bruja.
Nikki
Where you go to school? My big brother just moved to Florida for grad school at FIU…That gives me excuse to visit Florida in the distant future.
Happy Holidays Edgy! <3
Aww my cheries, you flatter me!
I take long strides with the lunges. I used to not feel anything with the lunges too until I realized that my short legs needed to take bigger steps. That, mind-in-muscle and push off the heels and today, I can’t walk ;D
I did train upper body today. It wasn’t a great workout, I realized that I wanted a change so after the Holidays, I’ll start my new program.
Anyway, I can’t WAIT for Xmas, I need the break from work.
I came home today and just cuddled with my Min Pin, I’m just so exhausted. But she makes all problems melt away <3
Cliff notes of workout:
DB Incline Press SS Assisted Wide Grip Pull ups
DB Fly SS Triangle Bar Pulldown
Krocs (75# Yay… 13 reps only Boo)
OH DB Press SS Upright Row
Lateral Raise SS L-Raise
Seated Facepulls SS Rear Delt Fly
Bench Dips with 70# on lap
Ugh so brain dead right now.
Nice work!!
With your lunges try pulling the knee back as it is lowering to the ground, if that makes any sense, it makes you keep your upper body upright and stresses the quad and hip flexor a little more. It means you cant power through them as fast but… My 2 cents.

When the heck did you get in? Haha
I go to Valencia East Campus for now, Fall 2011 I’ll be at UCF though.
And you don’t need an excuse ;D
Good advice Timmy, I do that though.
And I’m slow and deliberate with the walking lunges, I don’t speed through them. I don’t speed through any movement really. I just feel like I’m cheating myself.
i tried not to insinuate that. I guess i fucked up though 
Are you using straps for the Krocs? I have real trouble holding onto the dumbell once it goes over 60lbs. shame
Somehow I managed to miss two of your workouts. Wow on those high rep squats. HOw are you not puking during your workouts squatting that amount of weight that many times? And kroc rows with 70–no wonder the boys harass you while you’re working out. look at the grip!
Health and happiness to you Nikki!
Enjoy your school break and the Holidays!
Happy Christmas Sexy!
No worries Timmy, just making sure I do everything right ;D
Still have DOMS in my legs and glutes, it’s making it so hard to do my stuff.
Don’t feel shame Cal lol
60 lbs is awesome
I don’t use straps, no. It’ll be nice to see what I’ll do with them though. Someone offered me to try their straps one time too, but I declined. I’m not too concerned about it.
Thanks Nadia, and those squats made me want to DIE.
Thanks MiM, classes ended a short while ago and I’ve definetely been enjoying it.
blush Oh Hal, you have a way with pics and words <3
If it’s not obvious, I’m deloading now. I don’t NEED it, but the holidays are hectic and gym schedules aren’t cool, so I’ll take this as a sign.
I just want to skip to Saturday when I’m sitting at the table with my family, pigging out.
Silly me thought that just because the gym will be closed soon, that I won’t have to work as much. Now, I laugh at how naive that was for me to think.
Happy holidays to everyone
XOXO
Ive been in the shadows. You know how I do…with the sneak attacks and all.
Is UCH near FIU?
I know how you feel, i have them in my pins as well today. Everything is so much harder than normal. Poo.
My sexy little shortstack! I just wanted to drop by and wish you a Merry Xmas and Happy New Jear!!
I love your log and all the work you do! I can’t wait to see how you kill it in 2011 and following you on your journey, especially come competition time. Hell yeah!!
Lots of love to you youngin’ - you got a lot of life ahead of you and a big world to dominate!
besoooooos!
