WIA(AW)W and a Progress Pic

Let's do this :D























My birthday was last week! =) I had a wonderful cookies and cream cupcake from Whole Foods to celebrate. And in spite of this little off-diet indulgence, I'm still leaning out:




Please ignore the look on my face. I don't know.


Here's my latest deadlift workout. (Courtesy of Jay Ashman.) 

Keep in mind these are not max-effort sets! There's a lot to be said for leaving a couple of reps in the tank.)


2-second pause ass-to-grass squats (pause for 2 full seconds at the bottom of the movement - this makes it much harder): 135x4, 125x4, 125x4, 125x4

Squatting ATG is much harder now that I've been focusing on the powerlifting ROM - which is about 2" below parallel.


Rack pulls from knee: 250x3, 235x3, 235x3


Back extensions: 3x12 holding 35# dumbbell


GHR sit-ups: 3x10


Happy Wednesday!! =)

  5. I think everyone deserves a cupcake on their birthday :)

    That workout...I think my spine would break in two! You are so, so strong - I wish you could come to my gym and make all the arrogant guys in the weight room quake in their boots (or Vibrams...)

  9. Congrats girl!! Your progress is awesome. And I am secretly glad you arent doing the long intermittent fasting. 4 hours for all that food is just so little. I can totally see how that would be difficult on so many levels.

    1. Thank you!! & it's funny - everyone is saying that to me. I guess a lot of people were secretly worried about whether or not IF was *really* healthy for me!
