Forcing myself to film means sometimes you get boring videos of things like lateral raises.

Quick maintenance workout today; not trying to overextend myself this week:

• Incline DB press (8x45, 8x55, 6x65)
• Pec Deck (machine) (8x80, 8x90, 6x100)
• Decline Press (8x135, 6x155, 4x185)
• Cross Cable Triceps Extension (8x10, 8x15, 8x15)
• Triceps Pressdown (straight bar) (8x45, 8x45, 6x50)
• Shoulder Press (machine) (8x60, 8x80, 6x90)
• Lateral Raise (8x7.5, 8x7.5, 8x10)

With warmup sets for the chest and shoulder exercises and stretching/quick treadmill warmup.

This was last year's September when I started my fitness journey.

My legs were this thin. 

Tomorrow I will show you what my leg looks like now.

people keep shitting on those kipping crossfit pull ups but let me tell you - it’s a gymnastics skill and it’s HARD (and I can’t do it)

Snack Review: Peanut Butter & Pickles

Please note - part of the video has been sped up. I took my time. I’m nothing if not thorough in my evaluations. I wanted to be sure.

Texture? Confusing. The peanut butter was perfectly smooth, but the pickle was wet, crunchy, and emotionally aggressive.

Flavor? The peanut butter was, obviously, incredible. Rich. Creamy. Savory. The pickle… I think, sent a little shiver down my spine. It introduced flavors I don’t think I’ll be prepared to process for a few more years.

I give it a 10/10 as a peanut butter delivery mechanism, and 5/10 overall. A gourmet experience if you focus on the peanut butter. A psychological experiment if you don’t.

Would eat again. (And by eat, I mean lick the peanut butter off.) Would not request.

Thanks? to @adrienne, @tricil.eth, @typeof.eth for this combo. You are all very brave.

this newly self proclaimed gym rat got lifting gloves bc her delicate hands were hurting too much and chin ups are hard enough already!!!

also tbch I once again really did not want to go to the gym but I dragged my butt there and did a less intense pull day than originally planned 😇

Don't feel like going to the gym today but, will go just to be like @erica
