Next time I squat with someone I will. I've been hitting legs at the old school gym where no one knows me. Better equipment and less high school and college kids taking over the weight room to get ready for spring break. Plus I run into some fun people there every now and then like the local NPC judges lol. I probably won't do any real heavy squats until after this competition or the next. Arnold is in 10 days and my next show is 2 weeks later but I have like 4-5 weeks until my next one so maybe then.

Today's workout chest/back/abs
3x10
DB chest press/pec fly superset 20/15
Jump rope 2 min
Bench press 65 (would have gone heavier but my spotter is a little iffy)
Jump rope 2 min
Pull ups set 1-5 reps, set 2-5 reps, set 3-6 reps
Superset seated row/straight arm pulldowns 50lbs for each
Superset pec deck/pulldown machine 35/65
Ab machine 65
Rope crunches 70
Frog crunch 8x20 sec with 10 sec rest
Obliques/low abs 8x20 sec with 10 sec rest
Wore my heart rate monitor and hit 381 calories in an hour. Not bad for upper body. Sitting in the sauna now.

Kickbox this afternoon for cardio

If you wear a bikini in the vid I'm sure you will get extra consideration in your placing. =)

Could you imagine seeing an attractive female in a bikini squatting... The gym would become very unproductive.

Could u imagine all the guys I'd have to smack the shit out of

I'm glad she's not that kind of girl!!!

Do you have any idea how awkward that would be? Form would be awful bc you'd be so worried about it creeping. Though if you're lifting in a bikini you probably don't really care.

Also 466 calories burned in kickbox

No one wants to see a mans nuts hanging out the side of a bikini while squatting or ever. Now a women squatting with the same issue (minus the nuts) everyone would watch.

Well I go to the gym to workout, not for attention. I'm good in my capris and tank

I would like to see saney's nut, while eating done angel food cake

Maybe not on my log tho...actually definitely not on my log.

100 calories on the treadmill at 7% incline to warm up

Band rotator cuff work
3x10
Shoulder press machine 20, 20, 15
Tricep dips 50
Triset: lateral raise, rear delt fly, side bicep curl w/5's (no rest)
Triset: bicep curl, shoulder press, upright row 12lb body bar (no rest)

Still need to get in more cardio and triceps and abs but I had a cancellation this morning so banged this out pretty quick.

Didn't end up doing anything else last night. Tendinitis is back in my foot so I'm wearing a steroid patch to get that under control. PT gave me some kinesiotape and showed me how to tape it up to stabilize it better bc I still have to get my workouts in. She's mad that I won't rest it but I'm 7 days out and can't afford the time off right now. Burned 551 in spin today, little lower than normal but it was a shorter class. Still have sculpt tonight. Staying low carb and drinking at least a gallon of water a day. Just trying to stay focused and not stress too much about it. All I can do is keep up the diet and keep exercising and my body will end up where it ends up. This is my first big show so we'll see what happens. 40 girls in my height class...

Nice log Krista! Keep working hard.

Burned 411 calories in sculpt tonight. Burned out delts and really hammered abs, especially low abs. Lots of cardio the next few days. I'm trying not to freak out.

don't freak out...I know its a big deal...but you've already said it yourself...best shape you've ever been in....you've already surpassed your toughest competition...YOU...YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD

Girl I know the feeling.... Just stay focused, you've got it.. TOP 3 don't forget. I'm always hear for you. You have come so far from last year, remember why your doing this.!! This last week will suck but its all worth it. lots of love

Usually cardio and yoga help clear my mind. Not today. I can't turn it off. Glad I work all day and packed snacks bc I'm dying for a Reese's big cup but I can't have one. Weight is down but I'm still worried. And my stress is messing with my skin. Glad I work with an esthetician who told me some stuff to start doing to get it to clear up. Going to try and get a quick workout in before my next client.

15 min quick workout

3x10 overhead squat w/9lb bar SLOW and deep
3x10 stiff deads on step 360 with 15lb bar SLOOOOWWWWWW
3 sets of pull-ups to failure 6, 5, 5
3x10 Low ab ball curls
3x10/side hanging knee raises w/side crunch

Trying to ease my nerves so I worked on posing. Pics aren't super high quality but it's my laptop cam so whatever lol.
