I like big butts and I cannot lie…

How many of you are singing that now?!

I measured my booty today as I’m trying to get it to grow, along with my quads. 43″ all the way around – hurrah! I last measured before Christmas, November I think, and it was 41″ so it’s certainly going in the right direction. With my 28″ waist it’s certainly kapowing quite nicely :-)

*Excuse the bloat – I took the pictures right after eating an epic meal!*

In other news, I hit another deadlift PB on Monday – 120kg. Not as energetic as my last pull, I just wasn’t feeling the session at all and wasn’t even sure if I would go for it. In the end I thought what the hell, pulled it anyway but there was no celebration and I didn’t feel as good as I did in my last session.

I’ll spend the next few weeks repping out at 105kg and will then go for the 125 or even 130kg some time during February.

Right now, I’m working on my flexibility as it’s really starting to affect my squats now the weight on the bar is going up. Lots of daily foam rollering, stretching and pre-stretching glutes & hamstrings pre-squatting should hopefully help.

I’ll leave you a picture of my glow. Paleo or love – you figure it out ;)

Goals for 2012

Posted at 11:45 in Personal

Goal setting is important at any time of the year and luckily for me, I’m strong willed and determined and therefore don’t need the start of a new year to motivate me to make changes – it’s a never ending cycle of setting goals, hitting them, re-assessing and setting new ones.

However, sometimes it pays to look long term and think about what you want to achieve, especially with fitness goals.

So, I thought about what I’d like to achieve ideally in 2012 and this is what I came up with:

DIET:

To continue eating a primal (preferably paleo) diet
To continue intermittent fasting (this is with me for life!)
To include more variety in my diet, especially fruit and vegetables

FITNESS:

150kg deadlift
100kg squat (below parallel, preferably ATG)
BW bench press
10 unassisted chins/pull ups

PERSONAL:

To oil pull for a minimum of 10 minutes EVERY day, preferably 20 minutes
To write my blog more frequently

And there they are – my goals for 2012. Simple, straight forward and, I believe, achievable.

ARE YOU SETTING GOALS FOR 2012? IF SO, WHAT ARE THEY?
