WOW. Beautiful, Up. Well done! So fun to watch the video. Behind is high and tight. Back and shoulders - balanced proportions look just perfect to me. You have a great build. Glad you’re focusing on BBing, at least for now. I know you want more definition to your legs, but they are looking long and shapely.
And, so glad you’re no longer worried about the injury.
Protein pancake recipe when you get the chance, please.
Oh, and I’ll make a pact with you to keep our long hair. I don’t know why everybody has to cut their hair off when they hit 35. Yours is really pretty.
DB Hey, thanks. I may just try a little tape, may help it glide up and down with out catching. I dont mind it “grabbing” if it did it on both sides at the same time lol. The scrapers make me get aggresive, kinda in the same way rack pulls do. Love that!

DEAL on the hair, I just added a little lighter on the bottom, fun fun. I actually was thinking about cutting it recently. I saw a really cute pic of keira knightly sp? on a mag cover, and toyed with it for a few days, but then remembered this may be it for the long hair, so I put some color in it instead. Im super lucky Im not grey yet, so I can pull it back with no white/grey “regrowth” line.
Thanks on figure, I really want to see a difference, but my body seems to like getting more tight over gttieng that nice pop like you have, but Im not giving up. I cant complain, Im
happy that I caught back up to where i left off, and now need to get MORE!
recipe is always slightly different. But something like:
2 batches
1 c oats
1 1/2 scoop van pro
2 egg whites 1 whole egg
tsp vanilla or maple
sometimes i add some banana(1/4) or pumpkin(1 tbs) just to change flavor or make more moist.
If I do pumpkin I add pumpkin pie spice
Ive played around with baking powder or cream of tarter to get them fluffier.
I blend in blender then let sit over night to thicken. i would use a grinder but i cant find mine. I cook the whole batch then split in hald to figure out how much/what im eating lol, sometimes they make more if i dont get it thick enough.
I will keep track of grams and such next time i make them, and post it.
and the back with some curl. So the home gym we found, its awesome! Was owned by 2 um ladies.
They barely used it, some things I can tell they never used. The floor mats alone cost almost 500, we got this gym and mats for $950. Its super smooth! We spent all weekend getting it all
picked up and set up. Pretty sure my hub knew I wasnt going to wait more than 5 min for him to put back together, ha!
NEW GYM!!! That’s so nice, UP. Congratulations on scoring that for so cheap. I can’t believe it. LOL! I was all excited when someone in my neighborhood gave me their DB collection last year. This is way better. Like x 1,000 better. Wish we had the space.
Love the hair. No gray here either yet. Knock on wood. I’ve been lucky to be able to keep my natural color, but I just did a keratin straightener after Christmas. Love it. Haven’t had a bad hair day since. Here near the coast, I get there’s just enough humidity to get an annoying frizz going.
Impressive pics for sure UP. Been a minute since I visited. Oh BTW, in your last log you said I needed a new pic due to my son possibly being in High School. That is a recent pic. He turned 1yr in Jan.
CG ~~~ Ill try to give you creep worthy training, no promises
I know on mats…I have a couple under my rack, but they were “cow” mats? super cheap, but dont “lock”
together.
Puff ~~ Sometimes your lucky and your toast lands jelly side UP
Score UP 1 waiting for the “insert machine here” 0
LOL on stacks, Im liking a little fluffy.
Chelsey ahh, thanks. Those boots are THE most comfortable Ive had yet!
Viper ohh come on, pfft 1? If hes built like his daddy he could be carrying you.
Geeze, thanks for the love, Im definitely not worthy I sure am going to train hard!! IVe got everything
put back together, so no excuses now! Im enjoying my spin bike, Ive been alternating 30 sec sprints with steep hills out of the seat.

Really like your power rack. What brand is it? It looks like a rack from New York Barbell. Have to be careful using the word rack.[/quote]
Powertec is the rack. It likes its new spot much better, the floor must be off, but in that
corner it is solid. >>>no more cardboard stuffed under.
SUMO
3x5/135 < just trying to get my form dialed in
RDL
3/8/115
superset w/
kickbacks with strap >>>LOVE
BB row >not sure i like these
85/3x8
lat pull down/behind neck
pull up thingies, laying on ground pulling up to bar(inverted row, I think)
biceps
cable
db
abs
used the strap tried standing and sitting
Not sure on weight amount yet so Ill start tracking as I figure out weight.
I think because I am such a high hip conv.DLer Im going to see if my hips handle the sumos. It will be better for my hammies/glutes. Tried to keep weight low so i didnt rip myself up in my hips. i remember all to well this happening last time, and the pain lasted forever. I did throw in some nice lightish sets of sitting ham curls to really get that firing.
Im tired this may be out of order and i may have forgotten something, ha.
Im going to love this gym! I already mcguivered a few moves.
Im like a kid in the candy store, will be some time before I figure it all out.
Really? Hmmm thanks.
Yesterday…
Shoulders went something like this:
warm up, then:
PUSH UPS < suck factor HUGE How did I get so bad at these felt like an elephant was on my back
must keep on these, maybe spread them out.
RACK SCRAPPERS
5x6 @55 kept the tension, and more explosive
superset
bent over lat raise ~~more like partial reps
20dbs/25 reps
w/ spider crawls
superset
lat raise started with 15s/3 finishing 10s for 9 <need 12 #ers
spider crawls
Then lying on bench sideways and did 2#er for the delt making sure to keep arm in delt range, no lat. Small move but really feel it in the right place.
I need to try closer to wall and not go so low to keep that delt working. My lats love to take over everything. Otherwise I love these, super tuff to do, but love how they feel.
Also eating, Im not really good at this, i tend to just auto pilot, but i know I need to figure it out
so there is less “winging” it.
I came up with:
leg day
140 pro
40 fat
200 carbs
moderate
140
60
150
low
140
84
100
I do tend to eat the same stuff, But trying to make it in different forms. I just hate keeping track, so i always seem to eat the same thing. Its been kinda cool seeing the “scale” numbers, Ive never been much of a scale girl, but it has a nice little pattern. Just getting a little more aggressive again, and adding in a few hiits Im leaning out, but I really need to see where my maintenance really is. I know I used to be able to eat a small farm everyday, and thats not the case anymore, it was fun while it lasted Not sure where i want to take this, just recomp a bit and go by how Im feeling. Sounds like a cop out, but I truly just dont know, i think I do, then …my goals change or i dont think Im where I need to be at to like the finished product etc.
I sure am going to train hard!! IVe got everything
felt like an elephant was on my back
