Thanks ladies! And in keeping with this theme - muscle beach NY 
haha omg for a second I thought that was a topless vid!! Hehe very nice.
Never done topless pullups. HAHA! Iād have to try that.
I think I look funny btw and today one of my trainer buddies told me that one of his clients requested they NOT look like me. HAHAH!
For this reason I think I need to lean out just a tad. The diet will help. I donāt want to get too lean, just that little extra (plus i got a bikini from Brazil and it is TINY!). Anyways, I realize that some days I eat around 1500 cals and on others I get up to 2500 - which is still a deficit compared to how I was eating before. But I donāt feel like Iām depriving myself at all - in fact Iām not And not thinking about food all day is such a relief. So thatās getting on track.
This morning repeated squat day - 5x145. Good news is I got it - and some!
Squat -
5x95, 115, 125, 135
7x145 < just wanted to make sure I had it
1x150 < was shooting for 3x150, failed on two!
3x150 < got it
I realize that I sometimes forget to shoot through my heals and this greatly affects my lift. When I do that I donāt lose my arch and go slack in the middle - like popping straight up. Looking at the vid of the 150 tho, i feel like Iām not quite at parallel. My camera is crap so I didnāt film the 145, and now iām wondering if I hit parallel at the 145. Ah well.
Pistol Squats - 12xBW, 2x12x10 < took a cue from Snap
pike jack knife - 3x15
1 Arm DB snatch - 3x6x30 < I tried 35s but it just wasnāt happening.
Decline sit ups - 15x10, 2x15x15
Tomorrow night bench. I might try triples since that seemed to work on the squat. I donāt know.
Maschy, no joke. I thought that was the sexiest video Iāve ever seen on here. You are one extremely hot mama.
150 on squats! That is super awesome.
BTW, I would like to see this bikini from Brazil. On you if you dare, but just a link or pic would be nice.

Ditto.
Now do them in the Brazilian bikini.
Whaaaat?! Itās not your some behemoth!
I donāt understand people sometimes.
Seriously, awesome video! I thought you were topless too! I was like āthey have a topless beach in NYC?ā
Why not look like you? I like the way you look. You have a smokinā hot body.
kimba! You are too kind. HAHA! Thank you. Operation teeny bikini is underway. Modeling it might be too daring, but you never know
Ha! Print likes a fit lady.
Betty, apparently my legs are too muscular. Lol! And thatās quite possibly true. But I donāt mind that too much. Its my arms that canāt get huge.
Thanks Greenie!
I was just about to log but, Houeswives of NJ came on! Drats.
Iām back! Housewives was awesome as ever. Those women make me physically ill - and I love it!
Now to the business of my bench which continues to suck ballz.
Bench
5x65, 75
2x3x95
3x105
2x105
1x105 < thought I would try singles
0x110 < and failed. Had to dump the bar, clink, clink, clink went the little weights as they hit the floor.
3x95
So Iām stuck a 105. I need a rep scheme that is going to help me move past this. The triples didnāt work as I got fatigued on the 2nd set at 105. Maybe I should try the triples at a lower weight?
Suppersetted:
NG pullups - 3, 3, 2, 2, 2
Med ball pushups (1 under each hand) - 4x10 < these are still HARD!
P pullups - 5x2
side lat raises - 4x15x12.5
Russian Situps - 3x8x12.5 < i did 8 with each arm, 1 side then the other - i guess thatās right?
Kroc rows - 2x15x40 < I did one set with pronated and 1 with neutral grip
I also JUST realized I forgot to do my BB Rows!! I hate when I do that.
I wanna chime in and say you are mucho caliente (is that the right spelling?) especially when you turn around and smile once your done. awesome vid. Iām guessing some girl came in to lose weight and wants stick arms and no ass.
On a different note that squat day was huge! 3x150! well done.
For bench Iām guessing a set/rep
2x5 75lbs-80lbs
1x2 on balls out heavy 105 but donāt over do it.
1x1 on 110lbs
1x8-12 of finsher to cook them muscles at 55lbs
if you over extend youself before the max you run out of physical and mental gas but you also need a decent warmup. This approximate approach had helped me. Another tip would be to used clips, microplates or small chains cause you got a good amount of total reps on the 105lbs. I would have guessed you were capable of 110. Maybe if you had someone help you unrack the bar at 110lbs for the first couple of timeā¦
nlmain- You know it was surprising to me how few women wanted to loose their ass when I started training. Most women want to look strong and maintain a very nice round ass. Media perpetuates this idea that all women crave the Nicole Richie look, but in my experience itās the opposite.
mascherano- Thatās an awesome video. How many people were impressed to see you pulling those out?
I have one question thoguh. Why are your rack pulls less than your deadlift? Normally rack pulls are much heavier than deadlifts.
I saw this and immediately thought of you!
Still waiting on that Brazilian bikiniā¦
no bikini is ok too.
Thanks nlmain! And I like the rep scheme you offered there - I might give that a try!
Oleena - Lol! As you could tell by the bystanders, pretty much no one cared. And as for the rack pulls, Iām doing them as an accessory exercise to build the glutes, hamstrings and low back. Thus the high rep, low weight.
Hai Greenie, Kimba, Cbear! umā¦the bikini is going to have to wait, seeing as to how it still doesnāt fit!
Last nights training was DL. I felt like mixing it up and wanted to test out my stremph (i.e. iām getting inpatient), so I decided to try for 200. However, being the absolute idiot that I am, I ended up pulling 205. I canāt even blame it on little plates this time, just sheer stupidity. Iām a certified statistician mind you.
DL -
5x125, 150, 175
2x205 < oh ya, thatās heavyā¦
5x185
Rack pulls - 12x135, 155, 145
Rev lung foot elevated - 12x 50, 60, 70
Russian sit ups - 10x12.5, 3x10x15 < I like these!
Rev wood chop - 12x27.5, 25, 22.5
So yeah, the 205 DL was heavy. I got it up and it felt pretty good, but there was no way I was getting a 3rd without wrecking my back. Unfortunately, the camera has officially died, so no more vids until I get a new one. Iām bummed b/c I need the form check!
All in all, yesterday was a fun gym day. Juicy and delicious Nick taught me how to do Sissy squats, which are killer for your quads. Not sure I need bigger quads tho. I spoke with the linebacker (finally), who is actually a rugby player (even better!) andā¦MY GYM GOT KETTLEBELLS!!! Woo hoo!!
When i went to get the foam roller, I spotted the KBs in the DB bin and I mustāve been overwhelmed with giddy excitement b/c a girl close by said to me, āyouād think you just opened a box full of puppiesā. I canāt wait to play with them
Anywho, just got back from a run - 4 miles. Meh. Now Iām watching the Brazil v. Portugal game, and then iām off to the beach for some much needed Me time.
Tomorrow upper body! Fun times.
Great DLs there Masch! Curious about the sissy squats. Will have to Google. Iād be happy to have linebackers and juicy and delicious guys at my gym in addition to my KBās! Enjoy your beach time!
Yay on the training and the DLs! We have KBs too but only one of each weight. I think there is one pair and that is likeā¦the 25s or the 30s. I saw a guy doing lunges with them one day.
yay, kettlebells!
yay DL!
yay me time!
sorry if Iām askin a silly question but was the 205 deads a PR?
Wow, Maschy! A 205 deadlift! That is way awesome.
And how exactly can a Brazilian bikini not fit? Its microscopic.
