ProMera Sports- WomensElite/GlutaBlast/CapsiBlast: EvinHoll & PunkyCindy In Beastmode

[PunkyCindy]

Today was the best workout I've had as far as numbers go since my wreck a year and a half ago.

Also, I met a really cool lady at the gym today. She came up to me and complemented me on my squat form and since I'd been drooling over her arms I took the opportunity to tell her that she looked amazing. She said the other day she had some girls snicker about her muscles and that it bothered her for a minute but then she likes how she looks so she shook it off. I told her she's right where I want to be some day. She said she wanted to do shows and we chit-chatted a minute. It was so nice to meet another woman irl who lifts heavy and wants to have muscle...or does have muscles. Made my day.

-Thanks about the numbers, your deadlifts and pullups floor me honestly.
- I'll meet ya in the squat rack...I love squating, it's my favorite.
- Homo,no homo, no problem....I'm confused...I mean equal opportunity. :P

Great workout Cindy..The volume is simply amazing!!

Thanks! It feels good to be back to where I was. Now if I can just get the food under control consistently.

[geek23ka]

i'm so happy to see you are back to pre wreck numbers. finally, you can train again and get the numbers up. i bet it feels awesome.

[EvinHoll]

Back and chest day was yesterday!!

Since I didn't write it down last time hehe.
I went a little light yesterday because I've been feeling a little sick. Everything in our town is covered in thick pollen and I have pretty bad allergies so it's been rough.

CapsiBlast has been getting me through the lull. Will probably bump up to a scoop and a half taken with Women's Elite. Always about 20min before I start. I like to arrive already on beast mode, nomsayin?

Warm up:
Pull ups
4x10 @ bw (slow reps from dead hang)
Dips
4x 12 @ bw

Here's when I start chugging on GlutaBlast. I will be very depressed when this runs out.

Working sets
Iso row
2x10 @ 100lbs (each arm)
2x10 @ 95 lbs
2x10 @ 90 lbs
1x12 @ 80 lbs
1x12 @ 70 lbs
1x15 @ 60 lbs
1x10 @ 45 lbs

1arm cable pull down
4x8 @ 90lbs

Pull ups
3x8 @ bw + 30lbs

Dips
3x8 @ bw + 30lbs

Superset
Pec deck
4x10 @ 90lbs
Push ups
4 x failure (went from 25 to like 9 lol)

Round the worlds (chest)
3x8 @15lbs (don't laugh at low weight! Those things suck!!)

Have been a sweaty monster during training lately! I rarely used to sweat so this tells me the thermo is on point!

Diet has been on point these past 5wks of prep. Waist is down from my fluffy offseason 31in to a closer to stage ready 27.5in. Have also lost .75in off my hips. Some good stuff going on with this stack!

Shameless selfie just cuz


Tomorrow is legs day!! Will post grumpy workout bc legs day is not fun. Gonna be chugging ProMera to make it through!

[lonniej]

Nice work Evin..

Looking lean!!

[PunkyCindy]

Thanks Geek

Evin - Holy cow you're getting lean. This pic really shows off just how lean. I don't think you have anything to worry about with the show, I know you're going to do great! And dang you're strong...I wanna be you when I grow up. lol

I had glutablast in the morning and took Capsi blast, gluta blast, and women's elite on the way to the gym. Still had some slight soreness from Monday, but nothing serious. I seem to be retaining water, but I figure it'll even out. I have eaten slightly higher carbs this week so it was expected.

After that I walked 2 miles with my oldest son (almost 14) and he did this complete workout with me as well minus the squats. He did leg press. Afterward he talked me into running a bit and it just about killed me...we stuck with walking. lol Wednesday night we went fishing and flipped our boat so I got an unexpected workout treading water while I waited for everyone else to get up on a party barge that came to our rescue. (lesson about having a life jacket on rather than near you I guess) Everyone was fine, kiddos were shook up, but ok. We got the boat flipped back over and rescued most of our stuff out of the water as well. We're stubborn so today we went back so me and hubs ended up paddling our scanoe (similar to a canoe but wider) for 4 hours. Ended up with a pretty good workout over the last couple days.

Great back shot above Evin. And lots of volume Punky. Great job

[thehobbes]

Cindy - wow all that in one day, awesome job, congrats on the squats getting back up there too!

Evin - HNNGGG oh hot buttery abs!!

[PunkyCindy]

Today was rest day....well it was supposed to have been rest day. I ended up going to the park with both of my boys. We did the fitness trail which is a mile and a half with exercise stations spread out. We jogged between the stations. Sit ups are hard for me because of so much fat in my mid section, but I ended up doing 30 situps. I'm happy with that for now. We had a lot of fun. Thank you promera....huge difference using gluta blast daily.

[MakeGoBoom]

the cut is really starting to show evin.


cindy, you have to start somewhere. as long as the effort is there and there's improvement over time you're doing the right thing

couldn't have said it better myself that is the best advice.

that's quite the off day glad you had fun with your boys!

[swooshie]

Evin wow you are looking fantastic!!!!

PC, I bet it feels great seeing your lifts going back up after your accident. It's always so hard rehabbing injuries. It can be very frustrating for sure. It's great that you're setting a good example for your boys with your healthy lifestyle and incorporating fitness into their lives also!

Happy Monday!

That's awesome! I love those stations on the park trails, that's the most under-used free exercise resource I've ever seen, sad how most people don't take advantage of stuff like that.

[PunkyCindy]

I agree, I never see anyone else using them. There are 3 different parks here that have obstacles/exercise stations and my boys love to do them. I know my youngest will have me doing them a lot this summer since he's training to be a wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons (he's 7) He "trains" every day.

[yakuzastyle]

I just want to say something about ProMera and Capsiblast, glutablast, and women's elite.....this may be TMI so if you don't want to deal then just skip. I have female issues and I normally don't even get off the couch much less get my butt to the gym when it's that time. Sometimes I try to walk a mile...carefully, but that's about it. I normally feel very weak. Well today I felt weak as normal. I did not want to go to the gym but I figured I'd give the sups a chance. So me, my son, and my chucks some how got my butt to they gym. I drank the cocktail of all 3 supps mentioned above on the way to the gym. I wasn't about to tear my doors off the hinges to get to the squat rack, but I managed not to drag my feet. I felt very weak tonight, everything felt heavy, but without the supps I wouldn't have made it through the squats much less the rest of my workout...who am I kidding, I wouldn't have made it to the gym. So, for anyone considering this stack, it may be worth a shot if you have low energy at certain times of the month. Also I normally have terrible leg pain around this time and it's non existent this time. I am using glutablast daily.

A lil late on this, but got to say, that's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Shameless selfie just cuz

i need to wash some laundry, may i use your washboard abs please?

[PunkyCindy]

Just got back from the gym and tonight was kinda crazy on volume....I just didn't want to stop. I know I say that a lot, but I just don't want to leave when I get in the gym. The supps are helping me recover quicker, so why not push my body hard?

I deadlifted again tonight, and half way through a callous ripped off. I went to the "gym guy" lol and asked for a bandaid. He asked what for and I told him and said I had to finish my deadlifts. He basically said that was pretty bad@ss. lol He asked me how heavy I was lifting and I told him and then told him about my squat PR tonight. He said I had his respect and mentioned not many women lift as hard as I do. It's nice to get complements once and a while especially about my lifting.

ok, on to the crazy person workout I did tonight.
