Not bad for an old bird eh?😉😆💪👩‍🦳 It's the day after a comp and my old bones were feeling it today. Out of practice, having a near 2yr leave of absence, I really felt it. 😫 So listening to my body, I headed to the gym (the CF class today was too much to even attempt 😫) to purely move and flush out my body with a bit of active recovery. A 40min steady EMOM did the trick, heart rate was raised, sweat was produced. The lighting in the changing room was so good I couldn't resist. I'm nicely 'full' from all the additional competition carbs yesterday. Maintenance on @rpstrength Is working a treat 👌 #crossfitwanker #lean #rpdiet #projectthiccness #girlswithmuscle (at JD Gyms - Blackpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTezJm5ok4d/?utm_medium=tumblr

👀Bit of an update on nutrition and training 💪 🗓 After a festive hiatus and a lockdown 3 sulk on maintenance......I'm a couple of weeks into the 8week @rpstrength app shred, my adherence is good right now, I've found it easy to fall back into the eating habits I had last summer and pre-Christmas. The results are coming quickly which is good, although I'm very mindful to keep my eye on the process rather than outcomes (braingains courtesy of @mindsetrxdnutrition 🧠😉) How is it affecting my energy levels, gymnastics, training volumes and intensity? 🤔 🏋️‍♀️I'm spending a lot of time training my weaknesses and focussing on the basics, lots of squatting (finally got me some quads and ass thanks to #projectthiccness) lots of snatching, lots of strength building.💪 😍👖 Loving my @_rebeluk training gear right now❤ #mindsetrxd #mindset #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #gainstrain #happy #happylife #nutrition #diet #progresspics #squatbootiesruletheworld #squatsfordays #backgains #rebelclothing #update #unleashyourpotential #mindsetrxdmethod (at Ansdell, Fylde) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLBoSiTgfGJ/?igshid=eqjr3ht7vr1i

🤤 Re-feed of dreams!!🤩 ▫️ ⚖ I'm still working my way from a very strict cutting phase back toward maintenance, however I'm still getting lighter and still losing bodyfat despite increased calories. 🤷‍♀️So guess who got to have a "cheat" meal?!🙋‍♀️ ▫️ 🙈 I don't really like the term "cheat" it hints at "good" vs "bad" foods which is bullshit. So this for me is a re-feed, attempting to stop dropping more weight with a massive hit of calories. ▫️ 🍔🍟 I made a double patty (5% fat beef burgers), triple stacked cheeseburger (@eatlean protein cheese) with salad and gherkin, side salad and home made air fryer salt and pepper chips......LOOOVED IT!!!🤤 ▫️ 🍫🧁🍬🍭 The box of diabetes is my deferred birthday treat box, which I forfeited as I was cutting. Instead of a birthday cake i opted for a box of all the sweets, biscuits, chocolates, nuts and pretzels I usually never eat. 🐽 I mean, why restrict yourself to a cake when you can have a bite of anything and everything you fancy, guilt free!?🤷‍♀️😆 ▫️ 😣 In all honesty my tummy is so not used to all this stuff I couldn't get through much of it after the burger and fries (as expected) so that box is gonna be shared out among my favourite humans. I did enjoy the @reesesuk trail mix, the mini Jamie Dodgers and @flipz_uk yoghurt coated pretzels the most....oh and always angel cake 😍 ▫️ #refeedday #rpdiet #reefeed #projectthiccness #birthdaytreat #delayedbirthday #cheatmeal #burger #burgerandfries #hardtrainingday #mindset #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #lean #leanburger #treatboxes #whoneedsbirthdaycake #betterthanbirthdaycake #eyesbiggerthanbelly (at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcjIEpghgm/?igshid=1gequffsys41u

💥BOOM!!💥 ✂️The cut is done!!🎉 ▫️ 🗓 It's been a great 12weeks on the @rpstrength diet cutting template, I've learned loads about myself and the process. The results are pretty darned good too! 👀 ▫️ 📸 These photos are unfiltered and the difference is insane. I've lost 7.7Kg and 2.2% body fat since the first pic in January 2020, the day after I got back off holiday after a 10week diet break (read *dirty bulk*🙄🤦‍♀️) I've posted up the comparative readings for the @rp_transformations portion of this in picture three. ▫️ 💪 Yes the aesthetic is bloody amazing but just a byproduct of the intention, as is the learning from this journey. My strength has been maintained, I've retained muscle mass, my engine is so good right now and my gymnastics and cardio endurance has gone through the roof! 🙌 ▫️ 🧠 Worth noting, the diet isn't "over" yet, that's just phase one. I now need to work my way back up to maintenance, effectively reverse dieting, reintroducing myself to more carbs and fats. So no "cheat meals" no "re-feeds" just sensible and continued consistent adherence to the plan. This ensures I can keep this physique and performance levels without slipping back to where I was a few months ago. 👍 ▫️ #notbadforanoldlady #fitover40 #progresspics #projectthiccness #thicc #rpdiettemplates #rpdiet #mindset #embracehardship #mindsetrxdnutrition #nutrition #diet #cuttingdiet #shreddsville #fatloss #physique #instafit #Crossfit #crossfitwanker #lean #8monthtransformation #unfiltered #mindsetrxdnutrition #mindsetcoaching (at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEEJB-iAB6C/?igshid=ni5ta8l6lhcy

💪 on Friday's, we flex 💪 ▫️ 👀 11 weeks down and one to go!! ✂️Final week of my cut and I'm pretty happy about where I'm at physically and mentally 😬 ▫️ 🧠 I'm going to put something in my story about my @rpstrength diet experiences over the last 3months. But safe to say I'm very happy and impressed with the results. As ever a good diet and nutrition plan are only as effective as adherence allows, but I'll discuss that in another post. ▫️ 🏋️‍♀️ I'm still getting within 90% of my max lifts in training, my gymnastic ability has gone through the roof, my engine is purring like a kitten and I'm coming into the test phase for a back squat strength cycle. This diet and templates have supported me through all of this, no it's not been easy, but its definitely worth it!🙌 ▫️ #mindsetrxd #rpdiet #projectthiccness #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #gainstrain #happy #happylife #happyface #flexfriday #mindsetrxdnutrition #nutrition #diet #cuttingdiet #shreddsville #progresspics #oneweekout #greatlighting #alwaysposeinthegoodlight (at Sargent Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3Ne4RAvy5/?igshid=921o8qpbitc3

🤨So I'm not one to back down from a challenge..... 1,000 air squats for time?! Why not?? ▫️ 🤯 Not gonna lie.....The mental game with this one was tough! 1,000 air squats for time is hard but in a 7kg vest?! Yowzahhhh!!!!😣 ▫️ 👀 So 1st vid - I'm excited listening to an absolutely fire mix by @zakk_wild. I wish social media would let me have the sound on my vids without copyright infringement bullshit because it was 🔥🔊🎧🎛🎶🔥 I mean look at me, I'm almost eager....ha! ▫️ 3️⃣2️⃣1️⃣🔔 And I'm off, 2nd video - so the game plan was aim for 23-25 reps per min for as long as possible, knowing I'd drop off the pace as I fatigued. I needed to get done in less than 60min (yes I'd time capped myself🤷‍♀️ so what?!) As I was starting work in 75min. ▫️ 🥵 Last vid - by this point I'd been squatting for 50min, my pace dropped right down to 12 reps per min, the fatigue and lactic acid buildup was real. My poor quads and glutes were on fire, I couldn't feel my knees and all I could think about was forcing knees out and keep moving. If I had stopped for more than a few seconds at this point, it would have been game over ▫️ 🦵🍑🔥 Got it done, 56:41min, averaged 17.5 reps per minute which ain't too bad in a vest I guess. Really looking forward to the DOMs off this one now! Thanks @teamhench1 For the chance to #EMBRACEHARDSHIP once again! ▫️ 🧠@mindsetrxd 🍽@box_nutrition 🤯@mindsetrxdnutrition ▫️ #projectthiccness #thicc #thickthighs #squatbootiesruletheworld #squats #squatbooty #dumpslikeatruck #peachpower #teambraingains #consistency #nutrition #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #gainstrain #stayathome #covid19 #lockdown #dynamicshield #weightvest #1000squats #1000squatchallenge #mypoorlegs #myassisonfire (at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_CZKRDHkP6/?igshid=1167nst1jqczt
