Keeping Up With The Yates': A Couple's Training Log

[Jebrook]

He has his own 1lb weights already, and likes for us to make him "protein" shakes when we have ours. His is usually just chocolate milk!!

Lol. Usually? So sometimes it's spiked!? Jk

 

[yates84]

That is adorable! I hope I have a kid like that one day! I had always wished I'd gotten into fitness earlier on, and your little one is hooked up with two active parents!

We hope to be a positive influence on his life, hopefully he will start lifting with us one day

 

[yates84]

Spiked with whey!

Yeah, sometimes he has to actually see us put protein powder in it....or he isn't buying it's a "protein shake like Mommy/Daddy."

 

[Rocket3015]

Really enjoying the log! Mr. You Are In Shape !!

 

[Jebrook]

If he starts looking like this kid I might have to borrow some of that whey. Lol

Lol same with our son, Aiden!!! Kenzie still doesn't understand though����. The wife won't let me actually make him a shake. Chocolate milk it is for now. He is one solid boy though.

[Rosie Chee]

Thanks! Just revamped my whole routine a few weeks ago so I'm excited to make some new progress

Revamping is always good and fun

Starting pics. I'm about 2 weeks into an osta, dermacrine, and eliminate cycle. Diet is 2400 calories and I'm only eating 50g of carbs Monday through Saturday with Sunday being a reload day (300 of carbs) current body weight is 164 pounds as of this morning

Sounds exhausting just reading that - I could personally never go so low re calories or carbohydrates!

It was very much needed, I was stuck in a training rut

~Rosie~

This is my first time going that low with my carbs. I think I'm responding pretty well to it so far. When this diet stops being effective or makes me feel like crap I will reevaluate again. So far the low carbs has not effected my energy level or even my muscle fullness

What a killer log this will be. Great idea guys. Most definitely in!!

Same thing with me bro lol....I always push myself but now with everyone watching its like I need to push even harder. I LOVE IT. Great motivation all of you are, and you prob dont even realize it. Thanks!!!

 

[Rocket3015]

Arms are looking good, and just for the record Ladies with Nice Arms and Shoulders are very sexy !!!

Just a tip I used to give the girls I trained, Concentrate on your shoulders, the wider you can make your shoulders the smaller your waist will appear.

You two are doing a good job here, fun to follow and also motivational !!

Thank you!! We do love them. I like how strong they make me feel!!

 

[grinnell27]

In... How am I so late to the party?

 

[liftingamber12]

Well, I guess it's time I put up some starting photos as well. I have a long way to go still, but it's nice to have pics to look back on to see progress.

Again...mine aren't as impressive as Mr. Yates'....not yet anyway!

 

[packers6211]

Awesome lifts and nice volume!! I love doing face pulls at end of my back workout.

 

[FlexP]

This is how I picture you two when you guys are posting on your logs.

Master of the obvious!!!

No I don't think this is photoshopped. I have seen this kid on Youtube, his Dad is a gymnast and he and his older brother both look like this from the gymnastics. That is all from body weight exercises.

I was wondering if it was real, but I've seen it on a lot of satirical sites!

I couldn't pass up the oppurtunity to give yates84 a hard time.
