August Most Improved Competition [ENTRY OPEN until start]

[BG]

Taking a hot bath seems to bring out vascularity

Never works for me............all the bubble bath covers my legs.

[Capebuffalo]

Lmao....my buddy was a glass of red wine and marsh mellows.

I was a fucking Xanax guy. Don’t think it helped vascularity though. Lol

[BG]

Cake? Did you say cake??!! I could handle that! Lol [emoji13]
(That’s one I made for a friend for after his comp)

I would eat that whole thing, one sitting, no fork!!!! Omg thats incredible!

[KittyO1]

Obs posted this and I tried it Wednesday. I don’t think I got through half of it.
Kitty you do a lot more volume than me. You should give this a try.
Full disclosure I started with 15 lbs dumbbells. And 25’s on the presses. 25 plate front and 10’s on side raises. I couldn’t lift the 10’s at the end.
Most painful intense shoulder workout I’ve had.

Wow!! That does look intense!! Definitely gonna give it a shot! His shoulders are bigger than my head! Lol I really like that shoulder press/lateral raise machine he used!! Wish we had one of those!!

I keep lbs of protein powder in my truck. Lol

Lol I did have a 5lb tub but made my last shake and left it at one of our satellite offices. 🤦🏼*♀️

It took all I had to actually give it to him and not eat it myself! Lol That was one of the hardest parts about having a side cake business- always wanting to eat that junk! Once a fat kid always a fat kid! [emoji23]

That machine made me jealous. I just stood up and used the 10 lb plates. I could not lift 10 lbs at the end. I was humbled. That’s all I had in the tank.

Wait... what you are a professional cake maker? Oh I’m winning this damn thing. You just added a layer of awesomeness to yourself.

I bet! I may have the 2.5’s by the end! Haha

Well amateurish I have a real job just did it on the side for a while. Now only special orders for family and friends. (Weddings and such)

Ok. Just like your Facebook page. Those cakes are amazing. You have skills. My son would have loved to Pokémon one last year. He’s beyblade this year. The bullseye with the bullets would be choice. And your the next state over. Southern girl that bakes cakes.

Throw some lavender in there, you'll sleep like a baby. So I've heard.

(That’s one I made for a friend for after his comp)

Wtf..... Kitty you KNOW I'm in a fragile state!

Make it for him now

^^^^^plus one

I keep lbs of protein powder in my truck. Lol

Protein powder? .... I think you mean gun power. I've seen the pictures

Wait... what you are a professional cake maker?.... You just added a layer of awesomeness .....

I see what you did there...



Evening guys,
Kitty, awesome cake. I love both bake and peanut butter cups.

Not much to report, hit the gym for chest but mostly sat there hating the kid curling I'm MY squat rack.... Which i needed to bench in. Jerk.

Volleyball tonight... it was painful to watch my Jr. High kid lose, but damn our team sucks. They got destroyed.

Tarzan, enjoy your daughter's age... It goes to freaking quick brother.

Then home for chicken and rice....yay...

This weekend is homecoming, at least our football team is decent, other than the rain and my daughter's "date", should be a good weekend.

Now everyone get to bed, Kitty has to get up early and train.... And apparently bake Cape's cake.

Best,
C-

Mad skills right there.

[Capebuffalo]

Wrecked arms this am. Would post a pic but it keeps saying file too large. Plus I don’t want to scare the women and children.

[KittyO1]

Haha^^

Just had to share...I just tried squats for the first time in almost 2 years! They didn’t hurt!! I only worked up to 185 to play it safe but maaaaaannn it felt good! Now on with the rest of my workout! Haha

[bethdoth]

Sounds like everyone is doing good. Keep at it you are coming into the home stretch.

[Capebuffalo]

Good for you. I bet you feel them in the morning.

[KittyO1]

Good for you. I bet you feel them in the morning.

Oh I’m sure! I really think the kneeling squats have helped a lot with keeping strength up and even strengthening any weak areas! I was surprised how well the squats felt!

Sorry been running around all day. No pic.

It reminded me of a football game I officiated.
A guy comes up to me and says,” have you contacted to pentagon?”
I’m thinking wtf, maybe it’s the job I applied for that requires secret clearance. I said no
He said, “ you need to report those nuclear arms”.
I thought it was hilarious because he actually had me thinking.

Here’s today’s workout - added some extras in there. Feeling it already! Lol

Squats
45x8
95x5
135x5
165x3
185x3x3 sets

Giant set 1:
12 mins - as many rounds as possible
Leg press 575x12
Single leg deadlifts 45’s x8
Plank 30 secs
Rest 1 min
** made it 4 rounds

Giant set 2:
12 mins - as many rounds as possible
Kneeling squats 220x8
Alt lunges 20x10 each leg
Hip circle lateral squat walks 10 each way
1 min rest
**made it 4 rounds

Superset
12 mins - as many rounds as possible
Leg extensions 90x12
Leg curls 90x10
Calf raises 12
*no rests*
8 sets

Single leg extensions (outer quad focus)
50lb to failure, 30lbs to failure x 4 rounds

Ab work
Cable crunches 80x15x2 sets
Crunch Machine 40x15x3 sets
Decline weighted sit-ups 10lb ball x 12x3 sets

The gym I go to is a standard commercial gym with a lot of machines. There are 3 different machines for leg curl and leg extensions...yet, somehow, every Friday a random guy decides to jump on the ones I’m using to superset. I don’t mind if you simply ask and move quickly of course...but when they move very slowly and just take over, I am not a big fan! Lol

I have eaten so much sushi I’m going to be sick.

Big take out order. I’ve stopped and started twice in a 2 hr period. 2 pc left and I can’t get them down. Try again in 30 min.

[Capebuffalo]

Well the rice burned off. I’m starving. Time to eat.

[guitarzan]

This hasnt been a good week for me diet wise, very good week working out though. Maybe I made up the difference lol

Maybe you’re body just used the extras for more muscle?

[KittyO1]

FYI I am shuffling around like a 90 year old woman today! Legs are quite sore! [emoji23]

[cokemarine]

I will eat the shit out of some sushi or sashimi. All kinds. Not to big on octopus or quail egg. I will eat it but rarely order.

I’m not big on eel and octopus. Salmon is my favorite fish though!

Sea urchin is my all time favorite. But it’s hard to find sometimes.

That is awesome news!!! Just recently you were dealing with a nagging injury.
Bet you were ecstatic about that!

I can put away an embarrassingly large amount of food; sushi is no exception!! Never have tried sea urchin (yet). Dang things remind me of a sweetgum ball.

[KittyO1]

[emoji50] There’s a place near here that has Uni...never had the desire to try that one! Lol Hubby has gotten it a few times.

Beyond ecstatic!! It’s been close to 2 years of not 2 years since I was able to squat! Even bw hurt. I was told there was a labial tear and FAI. Pain has been more tolerable since having a cortisone injection and doing my own therapy work to improve the overall function of my hips.

I can put away an embarrassingly large amount of food; sushi is no exception!! Never have tried sea urchin (yet). Dang things remind me of a sweetgum ball.

Hahaha I can totally see that!! I can really put away a crazy amount of food as well- kinda embarrassing when my 6.5’ 250lb hubby doesn’t eat near as much. [emoji51]
