Got to sleep till 6:20 today! This time change has my body messed up! Lol I've been waking up around 3 and then 5am today. Usually an hour before I typically wake up! Luckily, I'm able to fall back to sleep within a few mins. I am going after work to get in some cardio/conditioning. Also I found out today that I've been over doing my workouts...volume is too high! No wonder it's so rough! Lol Tomorrow's will be slightly different.

Looking good man your legs are really tightening up! You weren't joking about that quads and legs looking SOLID! Not to mention the gun show you got a permit for those?Check the delts to you can see all three heads! Making progress girlie!!!!
 
Awesome looking quads indeed! You look powerful.
 
Looking good Kat! I see so much progress here over your last pics that it is simply amazing. All that hard work is paying big dividends!!
 
Wow I'm blown away more and more every time I see u. I remember when u first started u have come a long way. So proud of u. U are really leaning out and some great definition popping. Look great Kat
 
Looking grrrrreeeeeaaaaatt! Your volume is insane cyborg girl!
 
Thank you all so much!!!! You all really know how to make a girl blush! I am very happy with the progress so far! Between Kleen's workouts and my friends help with nutrition, things are changing! I have actually up 4 lbs since starting this process but waist is smaller!!! I'm so greatful for all of your support, encouragement, and help! As I've said before... You guys ROCK!!!!(non gender specific lol)
 
They really do wasme shes one of the hardest working athletes i know. So proud to be her friend.
 
Kat, you may want to lay low for a while. You keep killing it like this and the local law enforcement may come find you.

Thank you all so much! I'm one blessed gal to have friends like you all!! I am very happy so far but super excited about what the future holds! I am thankful for every day God gives me the chance to become a better me!

Hmm...so many places I could go with that one but I'll be good ...Lol thank you!
 
Happy Monday! First full week of the workouts the way they're supposed to be! It's still nice an intense but much less taxing overall! My muscles are dead but energy levels are better! I had a cheat meal on Friday which included Salted Caramel gelato!! I tried to eat the whole thing but couldn't do it! Lol Weekend was simple but busy prepping and making cakes. I have 4 orders on top of work, training, and everything else! Haha 2 Single tier, 1 2 tier, and 1 3 tier. Enough about that, on to the fun part....

Flat DB bench
25x10-wu
45x9 failure
45x8, 40x8, 35x7 drop set all to failure
The 45's felt good! Might try moving to the 50's next week. I usually can only get 4-5 reps with 50...But by the time I got to the 35's they felt like the weighed a ton! Lol

Meadow rows
25x10-wu
65x9 failure
65x8, 55x4, 50x5, 35x9 drop set all to failure
I thought I was doing 60 and was wondering why it seemed harder than last week...well guess it was time to move up! Lol These really make me breathe hard too!!

155x8 failure
155x8 failure
115x10, 95x10 drop set both to failure
** took off my shoes for the first time on my 2nd working set! It was so much better than my running shoes. Gotta get shoes to squat in!

It really frustrates me that I can't seem to squat near as heavy as I want to and maintain form. Results are what matter- not the numbers (repeating over and over to myself)

Overall this was an awesome workout and could feel a great mind to muscle connection! I was very nauseous throughout but it tends to happen with the intensity of these workouts! I will go back at lunch for cardio! :) Have a great day!!
 
Great lift Kat! Don't I have squats set up for 3 or 4 sets and then a rest and drop weight for a 20 rep widow maker though? Just safer than a drop set on squats. Either way you killed it!!!! Awesome on being 4 lbs up from the start and leaner that is hard to beat!

Yes...my drop set was my attempt at a widow maker--couldn't make it! Lol...should have noted that though, sorry! Thank you very much!!! :)
 
Oh okay in that case way to kill it!!!! If you can't finish your widow maker then you can't just means you taxed everything as hard as it needed to be taxed. Did you rest between the drop also if not that may have been why you couldn't finish. That or you were just toast! :)

Well good morning! What a day already...A friend of mine died at the gym this morning. They think it was of a pulmonary embolism. Please pray for his sweet family! His wife lost her first husband several years ago and they have 2 kids. My heart breaks for them! You never know how many days you have left! We have to take every moment as a gift and a blessing.

15 min run
2k row
10 mins HIIT on stair climber

Was planning to do abs and calves but there was a little going on about that time!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
