Hey NG! I dont think it's that strange that you SLDL more than you squat, I do about the same weight for both. I did legs yesterday... ohh it was so painful but sooo good!! I love power week, heavy and low reps, my fav.

Have a great weekend!

 

[nikegurl]

Thanks Mono. I'm going to stick with it and see how long it takes to start squatting some respectable numbers. A couple of trainers at my gym have said my form is correct - but I don't trust them all that much.

Hi Paynne - Yeah, I like the sig too. Thanks for visiting.

Sapphire - I like power week too! Thanks for checking on me. Hope you have a great weekend too!

Why not do a five day split?

That is prolly what I will start again when I am done TPPT

 

[nikegurl]

Thanks Jodi They felt freaking heavy AND damn good. I liked it!

I think this back routine is going to be good for me b/c I have fairly wide lats but not much thickness. Today I'm feeling it all over my back except my lats.

 

[nikegurl]

Hi Iain. I am doing a 5 day split but this week I ended up missing Tuesday unexpectedly and I have a crazy busy weekend so I decided to get it done in 4 days.

Every other week will be 5 days - that's my favorite.

Looks like a great workout, Nike!

 

[sara]

Great workout nikegurl! Now we want new Pics

 

[nikegurl]

Thanks Var and sara!

I'm actually starting to "feel good in my skin" again. I still have some fat to drop but I'm basically ok with it. I'm fuller than before and overall I like me a little bigger. (not so scrawny ) I'll get there.

I'm gonna need a little more time before posting pictures...but not TOO much. I promise.

Christ, you have some strong friggin shoulders.

Hey, have you tracked your morning temps at all?

 

[Supermans Daddy]

What up Gurl ! Missed ya, glad to see ya kick'n ass in those workouts. You go girl! Peace and Love

 

[nikegurl]

Hi Mikhal Thanks for visiting. You made my day.

Hey Mono My shoulders are finally improving. Used to be my shoulders and my legs that sucked. Now it's just my legs.

 

[nikegurl]

oh - morning temp was 97.4. i'm happy enough with that. i took it 4 days in a row and only once was it below 97. i can live with that.

 

[Monolith]

I was right around the same temps.

 

[nikegurl]

I think I was hoping for it to be a little higher but I'm not going to stress on it. I'll check it again a few weeks into my new eating plan/diet to see if it's lower (and hope that it won't be)

 

[PreMier]

I'm gonna need a little more time before posting pictures...but not TOO much. I promise.

Finally, not "TOO" much longer!

 

[Var]

Come on, Nike!! Time to suck it up and post some pics!!!

 

[PreMier]

She will post some pics, when you post some of your wheels

 

[Var]

You're way too into my wheels.

 

[nikegurl]

if upper body only is an option...i might be willing to compromise.

 

[Var]

Sounds good to me!

 

[nikegurl]

ok - i'll figure something out. i don't have a digital camera so i get a disposable camera and then have it developed on disc. wish you could buy a disposable with only 12 exposures. they have a lot so i'll waste a bunch - but i'll get some taken this weekend. i promise. (but no legs yet )

 

[Var]

I mean...uh...sounds good Nike!

 

[nikegurl]

hey - don't do that! too much pressure. it's not going to be all that impressive. it's still basically a "before" photo. i'm just less upset about it than before. (if the fat sticks around long enough you apparently get used to it. )

 

[Var]

I was just teasin'. No pressure. Feel free to PM them to me for opinions before going public.

 

[nikegurl]

thanks Var - good to be able to count on you. i'm outta here. have a good night.

 

[Var]

I try to be helpful! Have a good one!

 

[Monolith]

hey var, you gonna need any help with that evaluation?
