I like to go to the gym, lift heavy things and get stronger. I'm not a powerlifter, a figure girl, a CrossFitter or anything else. I've trained like a powerlifter. I've competed in figure. I've done CrossFit. I've pole danced. I've done a lot of things and not a single one of them define who I am.
At least once a week someone tries to fit me into a box - What are you training for? What are you dieting for? What's your goal? Usually following up with why what I say can't be done. I can't get stronger and leaner at the same time? Says who?
So what am I? Workout wise, this sums it up -
I love Jim Wendler - his program and his ass kicking posts.
I have some unfinished business with a sparkly almost thong, horrid smelling spray and clear heels. But that diet thing, yea, I don't know about that diet thing. Or giving up Wendler for a few months. Not so sure about that either. That business could stay unfinished for awhile.
I still want to learn cool pole tricks. One day I will. I should probably work some stretching into my workouts. Like now. Plywood like bodies cannot do the splits. So yea, that could be awhile too. And yes, I am linking pole dancing in with athletic endeavors - watch this before your argue with me:
Right now my athletic world involves a loaded barbell, blaring metal and eating a shit ton of food. I am going to start reigning in that food and to start to lean out. And by reigning in I don't mean eating less, I mean timing my meals better and watching macros closer. And there is that pesky Training Rule of Being Awesome #5, something about being out of shape meaning you do conditioning every day. I need to get on that too.
