Hard-Body Cosplays

Hey everyone! It’s been quite a while since either of us has posted, so this “little” update is long overdue!

After a much too long break from the gym, we’ve finally started attacking the weights again! (We stopped in February, and started back up beginning-mid April) I think Bear and I can both admit that we lost quite a bit of our muscle and gains (especially on my end), but we’re super determined to get it all back! Our situation has finally begun to look up, so getting to the gym will no longer ever be a problem and we can steadily start eating as we should~

Personally, I’ve decided to put a lot of focus into upper body work, since mine is incredibly pathetic. Hopefully I can get my upper body and core up to par with my lower body in a few months of hard work. I’ve been mainly cycling between benching, incline bench, and push press every day, and picking my pull and leg lifts at random depending on what I’m feeling. The other day I decided to add shrugs to my pool of lifts and went nuts, resulting in extremely sore traps and tender lats lol I love it though, it’s so nice to be sore again~

Today, Bear decided to step things up even more... by adding more cardio to our workouts. After all our lifting, we walked/jogged on the machines at a high resistance for 20 minutes... and it killed me, hence the photo above. It’s been such a long time since I’ve sweated so much, but seeing as how I didn’t cramp up a few minutes in, I can definitely say I’m in much better shape than I used to be by a landslide. We’ll be doing that after all our workouts, and Bear will probably make us go for longer and longer times as I adapt to it ;w;

But yeah, I’ll try to post more frequently as we get back into things, though we probably won’t have any videos until we at least get our lifts back up where they used to be (I miss my 205lbs deadlift PR already...) I should have somewhat regular progress shots to post though, Once a week or every other week. I took some last night that I’ll be sharing shortly, so keep an eye out for those ;)

It feels so great to be back at it, I hope you guys look forward to our future progress~ <3

From November 28th

Bear squatting 415lbs

This definitely isn’t his max, but he hasn’t really done much back squatting lately, so he’s still doing good :3

Bear and I entered a Chaos and Pain contest to do a single hand deadlift as heavy as we could and this was my entry today

I've never done a single handed deadlift before so it was a new experience, but I didn't do too bad!

BW: 130lbs

I'm going to try and toss up all the videos we've taken lately, but if you guys want more active, up to date posts, then feel free to check out our facebook page!

I took progress shots the other day! I would've uploaded sooner, but tumblr is being a butt :I

I'm making decent progress, though my progress isn't as good as it should be. Since I can't afford to eat anywhere near enough, my efforts don't get me as far as they would if I could eat properly :/
