Nikki's Workout Log

Solid work in here as always! You have made an amazing transforamtion.

I totally get you on seeing the negatives. I do the same. I can be down after a game where we destroyed the other team because I missed a few catches, didn’t play my best etc. It is kinda silly when I think about it, but it does motivate me to work harder too.

Keep killin’ it - your motivation and hard work is inspiring!

mmmmm that jamaican jerk pizza made me drool!

girl you’re nailing pr’s while all depleted and dropping fat… i know it’s easy to get in an ugly place mentally but you have to embrace the hell out of the little wins. you’re killing it! be proud!!! keep your head up buttercup. =+)

Great training - that’s a lot of volume!

Lookin’ good girl :slight_smile:

What are you going for in school?

Just keep up yor training- you are kicking butt!

classy.

Thanks for the comments.
Bekah, I want to be a sports psychologist. I really like helping people get through the mental part of training, and find out what emotional reason they have buried inside that causes them to be sedentary or eat junk all the time.

Tried a couple sets of EZ Bar OH Tri Extension thingies, didn’t like them though.

Then did only 2 sets of complexes before I reached 1.5 hour limit

There is always time for complexes.

As much as I will like to tell a client that they have to wait for me to finish my complexes… actually, I won’t like to tell them that at all, I’d feel horrible lol

If you have some DB complex routines, then I’ll make up for not doing the complexes earlier today by doing them this evening :smiley:

Pick one!

DAMN! You do work it girl. & you work it well.

Thanks Timmy, I picked one that I’ll do a little while after dinner :slight_smile:

Thanks Print! Today was exhausting, but I enjoyed it.

Tried a couple sets of EZ Bar OH Tri Extension thingies, didn’t like them though.

How about skullcrusher with an EZ bar or OH tricep extension with a dumbbell?

DB skull crushers on a slight incline ftw!


I like all 3 of those exercises (well, I never did skullcrushers on an incline with a DB, I’ve done them with a bar though) but I just like to try new exercises. Whenever I hit a muscle from a different angle or a new way of executing it, I get a nice soreness :slight_smile:

Eats:

40g oatmeal
1/2 scoop protein powder

Protein shake

2 slices of leftover Jamaican Jerk Chicken Pizza

2 protein pancakes
Sugar free syrup

4 oz whole wheat spaghetti
Tofu stir-fry

Plan for the rest of the night:
Do a DB complex from the site that Tim posted

Followed by shake with CC, PP, milk, egg whites and PB

Oh and the pic, that’s not my plate.
If you guys saw what 4 oz of pasta looked like, you’ll feel sorry for me :stuck_out_tongue:
Ha just kidding… but no really, it’s not a lot.

wow you are back on track with the food and training. i’m doing a grocery shop tomorrow to sort out my food, but a bit late back to it after the holiday season. feeling warm glowy feelings for you after what that trainer said. so nice to feel supported in working hard instead of feeling like a bitch for needing to ignore other people sometimes in order to work hard. my coach said something about being ones own worst enemy. i guess being super self critical can be a bit of a mixed blessing. on the one hand motivating us on to bigger and better things. on the other hand resulting in frustrations when we don’t live up to lofty expectations.

i’m uber impressed you hit a PB with low carb. i’ve experimented with low carb a little and notice a HUGE difference to my workouts with respect to my strength being way down (typically i eat whole oats / yoghurt / banana about an hour before training). i also reckon it can be useful to think of % bodyweight with respect to strength. for me it works the other way (gives me a check that i haven’t really gotten stronger instead i just got fatter).

Thanks alexus, I am most definetely back on track.
Ah, you’re going to start your holiday detox? I like to do that the day after the holiday, I find that doing low-carb after all those eats helps set me back in Diet mode. If I don’t, and just try to watch what I eat the days after, or allow a freebie here or there, then it’ll take me forever to get the bloat off and get my determination back.

Thanks for the comment Hun, I appreciate it :smiley:

Very quickly, I only have 28 minutes right now, and before I forget what I did today:

Today I’m craving fats and consequently it’s a cardio day so… dun da dun low carb day.
I did 4 tabatas:

  1. Burpees
  2. Squat Push Press with 15 lbs
  3. DB High Pull Snatch with 20 lbs
  4. Hang Clean and Jerk with 10 lb bar

The burpees hurt my back, dammit. So going to try to stretch that out randomly through the day.
Followed by breakfast that almost gave me an orgasm haha (I had a PP shake after waking/before HiiT)

2 scrambled eggs cooked with leftover stir-fry
2 pieces of bacon
I’ve been craving ketchup (weird) so I had a dash of that as well

I’m so content, now I have to prepare my meals for the day and get dressed in 23 minutes. Yay me.

Oh also, last night did go as planned.

I ended up making a random DB complex though:
High Pull Snatch
Hang Clean-Front Squat- Push Press
Rows
Something else, I can’t remember right now
DB Split Jerk

Followed by the shake, and 8.5 hours of sleep (I skimped on sleep the night before :confused: )
