Beautiful Bottoms


Got your attention..hey!
Well, besides "shoulders of boulder", many gals have on their work list this year "beautiful bottoms"; myself included! Yes, I have been very focused on bringing in a tighter bum this year compared to my first comp. One thing that is definitely helping is, of course, having no alcohol calories sitting down there. The other is working the lower half pretty hard.
Yesterday's workout:
Warm up w/ 2 sets of light leg extensions

DEAD LIFTS 33K x12, 43k x 12 53k (116lbs) x 8 (nothing massive-but getting stronger)

LEG EXTENSIONS-slow and holding at the top for count of three 20k x 10 + 5 rapid reps x 3 sets

DUMBBELL DEAD LIFTS w/ 7.5K dumbbells x 12 x 3 sets

LAYING LEG CURLS 17.5K x 12 x 3 sets

I super setted that w/ my ab routine of crabs, bicycle & foot to ceiling crabs 15 reps of each for 3 sets

Bum is a bit sore today...but am thinking next time I'll do another set of everything-maybe a few more reps too. :-)

So far this.....

Is already looking a bit tighter at over 15 weeks out (I think)...yay!

I'm thinking of posting some pics at the 12 week mark...what do you think?

Cheers and ciao for now!
