yay, another log 
well done on the bench. sounds like you have a wonderful gym.
yeah nikki!! great work! i love that training has become so much for you too!
blush Thanks everyone.
Aqua, you clever boy you 
Gee Kalle if thatās not motivation to get a PR, I donāt know what is.
Ha alexus, āwonderful gymā my ass. Luckily there are some who like me, so it overshadows the ones that are threatened by me.
Trained lower body today.
Warmed up with a 45 pound plate complex (thank you Timmy):
Row
Swing
OH squat
Reverse lunge with twist, left and right
Did that 8 reps each exercise, 4 times
Box Squat (well, box squat using a bench)
185 x 15
225 x 12
275 x 10 x 2
315 x 7 x 2
Not sure if PRs. I never really tried to do above 155 I believe, but theyāre still nifty, no? 
Leg Extension
70 x 12 x 3
After the squats, even THAT baby weight burned. Quads= dead
Prone leg curl
This is my only hamstring work today because theyāre still a tad sore from the pull-throughs the other day
70 x 15
90 x 8
85 x 8
Elevated Bulgarian Split Squat
30s x 12 x 3
Some ab work, plate sidebends superset with cable crunches
Pushed 2 45 pound plates across the floor a lot of times. The new article reminded me of these babies.
Did 10 minutes on treadmill at incline from 18-30.
Oh, calf work was done too, between sets, about 10 sets though.
Although technically it was a good day, a lot less volume than Iām used to. Iād almost feel like I didnāt do anything if it werenāt for the soreness kicking in already. Eh.
Hi Nikki.
just wanted to say Hi.
soā¦Hi.

OK, so WTF does this mean? You on the roidz little lady?
HUGE squats!! WTG!!
Wowsers bowsers!!! Thatās quite some box, well bench, squatting youāve done.
I imagine thats the first time youāve had 315 on your back, how did it feel? Sounds like some good overload training. Oh and I lied about not checking.
Iām going to guess this was partial ROM (given that youāre 7 inches shorter than me and a box is above parallel for me). Thatās still a scary amount to have on your back!
Thatās some ballsy squatting. love it.
Git, I used to get that roidz comment all the time haha
If I was, no competition for me in May, since itās OCB.
Guess weāll have to wait and see the results
Kalle, yep it was the first time I EVER had that weight on my back. I never had more than 4 plates, so 6 is a pretty big deal 
I probably shrunk an inch though, that shit is so heavy. My back was screwed.
Oh and Iām happy you lied, Iāll be super lonely.
Thanks for the comments, Iāll have to get a vid whenever I find a damn battery for the camera.
Today was just a shit day. I mean, it started well and I could have done worse, but I took off my iPod somewhere around the middle of the workout and I should know better than to listen to nothing but my thoughts sometimes.
Back and Shoulders
Deadlifts
135 x 3
185 x 3
225 x 1
245 x 1 (+15 PR)
255 x Fail
250 x 1 (+20 PR)
So, at least DLs were good. My previous best was 230, so I was stoked.
Assisted Wide Grip Pull-ups
Doesnāt matter
Lat Pulldowns
35 x 12 x 2
40 x 10 x 2
Yepā¦ used the other pulldown, so I lost 60 pounds of weight here
Cable Barbell Row
I swear sometimes I wish I was taller so I didnāt have to stand on a damn bench just to get some ROM
35# x 10
50# x 11
65# x 9
Did some other sets that I didnāt write down. I was too busy looking at some army guys get yelled at for dropping 225# when DLing.
DB Rows
40 x 12
50 x 10
They bored me, I really wanted to do the HS machine but it was taken at every chance.
Seated Military Press
Bar x 3
75 x 3
95 x 2
Shoulders were ache-y so the presses were shit. Moved on to DB Presses for whatever reason
DB OH Press
30s x 12
40s x 5 PR at least
35s x 5
Did laterals, even though I didnāt want to because depression was becoming unbearable at that point.
So I was done.
Iād be interested in seeing those skwats
Looks like you put in some good work despite having a less than stellar day
Wow, Nikki, youāve got really strong all of a sudden. That was a workout Iād be thrilled about.

Thanks. I love your pull-ups, HLRsā¦ anything actually.
Iāve been neglecting to log my eats.
When I was sick, eats were clean, just sparse.
Uhm, yesterday felt kinda proud when I turned down my usual pizza-and-zeppoli cheat meal. I got a salad instead. Eh. And the pizzeria guy thought he can make my day and give me an order of free zeppoli anyway. Which I didnāt eat.
Eats today:
Oatmeal with 1/2 scoop PP, 1/2 cup milk, 1 TBSP jam
1 cup brown rice, 1 cup lettuce, 1 boiled reduced fat frank, 3 HB eggs with one yolk
PP shake
1 protein pancake, s/s syrup, 1 egg, 1/4 cup Eggbeaters
Went to Chiliās and got some Guiltless Grill sandwich, chicken on wheat bun with steamed veggies

I get like this all the time. It happens when you are really pushing it. A 20lb Deadlift PR is awesome.
