Skye is back! Yay!
Two thumbs up on the extra beach shot. Apparently I am craving beach.
YAY for vacation Skye! that beach looked fantastic…but your legs made it look even better.
hope you weren’t too hung over from the wine-nice looking wine bar there btw. glad to see you get right back into training. 
Masch and Nlmain - thanks!It has KBs but it makes up for that on the shit-scale with everything else.
Kimba - Hi! If you get a chance to go to the beach, don’t think twice. We’re planning another trip to Daytona Beach in about 6 weeks. Going to the beach should be a made requirement for all adults…like doing your taxes
T- long time, no see. Yes, I’m back training. I’m kind glad my boyfriend’s out of town, I’m enjoying quiet ‘me’ time for 10 days which involves alot of gym time. How YOU doin’?

Nice workout momma! Great little ab circuit you got there. Looks killer.
i was absent too, ms. skye! since you asked, i’m doing great now that work has settled down this week to less than 50 hours.
one of these days i will be motivated to do ab stuffs. you can do extra sets for me. kthnx!
Skye, nice job continuing to work on your bench. I know that is not your favorite.
SKYE! Nice talking to you the other day! =D
Glad you had a nice time at the beach! I am jealous! I go in 3 weeks! And you’re wine-tasting event reminds me a little bit of mine several weeks ago… I mean, hell, if they are pouring it, you gotta drink it right? And if you tip the person who is pouring the wine… they seem to have a heavier hand and “forget” how many wines you have tasted… ;D It can be a glorious thing!
Anyway… nice workouts! And LOVELY legs!
Maschy- thank you. I was gonna add some rotation move in there but I ran out of time- boo!
Kimba- thanks. After reading the Dan John article, I promise to dedicate more time to press moves and KB windmills
T- glad you’re back. Muscle memory is a beautiful thing. Getting back in the gym isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. How do work 50hrs+ a week and stay sane? I’d have long since switched from wine to rum by now :<
MOLLLEEEE!!!- Hi, Momma! Nice talking to you, too. Ohh, which beach are you going to? Enjoy and soak up lots of sun for the rest of us landlubbers You work so damn hard, you deserve it.
My boyfriend’s trying to coax me into going to Daytona second week of school…what a bad influence!
Ooh Daytona - I love Florida but I haven’t been in 12 years. I need to go ride that coaster there (it’s all about the rides with me - the weather’s incidental).
I’m taking my KB to the gym today, too.
Ohh, Cal…the weather’s got to be #1… How was your East Coast tour? I need to stop by your log n check it out. Looking lean 'n mean…

Shitty gym, not so shitty today.
East Coast trip was fantastic - thanks for asking. Just what I needed!
That’s a lot of ab work yer doin’ there… Getting ready for the bikini?
160!! That was a great effort. Just goes to show, a crappy warmup doesn’t necessarily mean the training is gonna suck.
Cal, the ab work is something that’s been very sporadic recently. Trying to remedy that. I MAY be headed to Jamaica end of September. The extra motivation doesn’t hurt.
Kimba, you’re so right! I think I was just so excited to squat, I wanted to get to it, already = half-assed warm up.

I’ll consider going back to finish arms and shoulder stuff… i dunno.
Double post…
Song of the day.
HAH! I’m a bit the same way with the “let’s get to it” warm-up.
That’s some nice upper training. You get a lot in in 1 workout!! Very impressive!
