Of all the squat variations out there, I find front squats to be the most challenging in terms of load on the bar. Incorporating a lot more front squats in my new program, and although quads have never been my weakness, I’m excited to see what happens. Already three weeks in and I’m getting stronger every session.

As previously mentioned, it’s been a long week. I’ve done what I’ve needed to do because I’m committed and it’s habitual now, but my heart hasn’t been in it. It’s easy to get distracted by life and lose sight when other obstacles are distracting you, but I learned long ago that the gym is one place I can always go to escape the unwanted noise and just do me. So, even when I don’t feel like working out, that’s when I know I need to. Because it’s one of the few things I thrive on and if I’m not wanting to go to the gym, then I’m out of touch with myself (insert pervy joke here) and something deeper is going on. Anyway, it’s easy to lose motivation when the journey is slow, but then I look at progress pictures and remember shit is happening even if you can’t always see it day-to-day. And really, what are my options? Giving up on myself? Hell to the no! Stay the course and the motivation will always come back. Always. I’ve tested this theory dozens of times and tonight was no different. I had the best workout I have had in weeks and that’s all it took to motivate me again. So, watch out bitches, because I’m back. #BigGirlPanties

Been sooo unmotivated and struggling all week, but I’ve been grinding it out anyway, because fuck fleeting emotions. I have goals I’m chasing. Off to train the glutes!

Did you know wrapping the end of your bananas with plastic wrap helps them last 3-4 days longer before expiring? Very helpful tool for those of us who live off of produce and hate making several trips to the grocery store. #themoreyouknow

Heading out the door to go train my back and when checking my ponytail I noticed a little back definition showing up to the party.
