It's my weeekend, and got so many things to do on my list 😤. But no BS, except for some breakfast&squats cause today is a bootyful day to save lives 🍑😜. Hope everyone is finishing their weekends strong 💪👊 . . .. #workout#workoutmeme#breakfast#squat#yoga#abs#fitfam#fitspiration#fitchicks#fitspo#bbg#deathbykayla#weightlifting#squatspo#girlswholift#healthy#fitness#bbgprogress#strongnotskinny#beachbody#cardio#bbgla#nikela#asiangirl#polara300#eatforabs#gymapparel#selfie#motivation#operationbuildabooty A photo posted by D e a d l i f t s🍩D o n u t s (@rawrdianasaur) on Apr 22, 2016 at 8:47am PDT Although this week was jam-packed with studying and assignments, I somehow managed to take fat naps (11 hrs........) & plenty of restful sleeps. I call it time-managing done well *joking*. However, since I spent so many of my hours sleeping, I was unable to dedicate any hours to workouts this week. Pretty ridiculous xD! But in my defense, I do a lot of walking aroun...

Sunday, Jan 17 Ended up cultivating mass|bulking from all the eating adventures - Not even mad 😏😏. BUT, how to not lose the boobies & booty when leaning down 😟?? #cardio#nikela#vans#iifym#bulking#operationbuildabooty#asiangirl#bbg#diet#eatforabs#kaylasarmy#fitfam#gymapparel#fitness#fitspiration#fitspo#girlsthatlift#girlswholift#healthy#selfie#instafit#kaylaitsines#liftheavy#shelifts#workout#abs#squat#stairmaster#belfie#foodie A photo posted by D e a d l i f t s🍩D o n u t s (@rawrdianasaur) on Jan 15, 2016 at 9:09am PST ok, confession : I ate so tremendously much during the past month. December is my birthday month! and also, winter is the season for bulking.. right? (I totally gained some fat in my glutes & chest area however! along with the belly, of course) Honestly, I really don't know how my appetite grew so much and my stomach was actually able to house almost all the things I saw with my hungry eyes. Pretty much, your girl ate very well, and my ...

Wednesday 12.23 Workout : -Volume sumo deadlift -DB single leg deadlift -cable leg abduction -cable glute kickbacks -single leg press -one legged side press I was a bit rushed for time because I kind of lagged with the workout this morning. Also had lunch plans with my brother so I didn't do very good time-managing on my part. However, I think I did a pretty decent job busting out my workouts efficiently and quickly. I just wish I didn't forget my polar watch so I could know how many calories I burnt with this pretty killer workout day! Diet : okk. So I did 2 pretty decent lowcarb-keto diet days before today. HAHA I guess I made it a high carb day today :) I knew I was going to eat pretty carby and not refrain, so my logic is to make up for it at the gym. Regardless, no regrets! It is definitely easier to stay on your workout schedule and be diligent with your diet if your friends all live far away or are super busy. But when there's the occasional time you ...

iii. sigh, boobs are slowly diminishing. Might as well grow a booty 🍑#itsgonnabeallmuscle. ps, Omg! went to #NTC workout today and did it fasted. It was awesome💪👍 A photo posted by AestheticDianasaurus (@rawrdianasaur) on Jun 3, 2015 at 11:04am PDT Today I forced myself to go fasted  NTC workout at my local 24 hour gym. And it was the best decision ever! The hour passed by so quickly, and just working out in a group environment motivated me to push strong throughout the whole workout. Amazeballs :D I will most definitely continue to attend the NTC classes, and as a matter of fact, I'm going to do most of my cardio seshes by gym classes. Today has proven to me that working out in a class setting encourages and uplifts me more than working out by myself. But weightlifting is a different story. I can push myself and encourage myself to be stronger and finish YO sets .

Ok! so I've been pretty stellar about my diet . The only thing processed I've been consuming is wheat bread, oatmeal, and protein powder. And absolutely no junk food eaten so far! haha I think when I was trying out IIFYM , I gave myself the liberty to eat some junk food saying, ahh all carbs are the same. But I think my body does appreciate more natural carbs from fruits instead. Regardless, it does make me feel fresher and filled more with vitality when I eat sources straight from the earth. Also! My current morning caffeine fix is the cold brewed black coffee!  I'm liking the convenience of not having to wait for water to boil, and the sweeter notes of the coffee as well. :)) Plus it's quite nice to sip on a cold coffee on a sunny day Sun Ended May with an awesome Squat Sunday and Legs session. Mon Noticed the gym is most definitely getting busier as the days are getting longer and summer is upon us. Had a pretty decent back workout after work, but was too l...

Had to do some errands in the morning therefore I wasn't able to do fasted cardio. I woke up early, but dilly dallied around until I realized I ran out of time... hahah. So I ran out the door with an egg salad sandwich. After errands, I went to the gym since it was right there! Workout : -I did squats and went up to 135 lbs and tried to do some sets. Then I dropped back down to 95 lbs and did 6 good sets of 5-7 while doing bodyweight jump squats in between. -Next I went to the abduction machine and did 3 sets -Finally I tried out hip thrusts using the leg extension machine . (I found the picture example on google). First time attempting this workout and I really like it! Definitely felt it in my glutes, and I will be continuing to add this to my booty growing regimen. I think ladies have the most creative workout moves and adaptations. LOL you don't really see guys doing these kind of workouts or using machines in a different manner than what they were intended for. Exce...

I thought I was gone from my blog a bit longer, but it has only been a week. *phew* I can't say I see progress on my abdominal area, however, I believe I can see that squats & deadlifts are effective. My goal is to squat 2x/week because "there's no such thing as overtraining" - CT Fletcher Last week I was able to have an awesome deadlift sesh and 2 separate squat seshes. I also think my recovery time is getting faster OR my body is getting used to my high volume. I read that intaking more protein can help your body at the cellular level to recuperate faster (I looked up D.O.M.S and how to treat it cause it hurts!). And sleeping helps too. Zzzz I'm supposing that there's no evident progress on the stomach area because I snack here and there too much -  I'm always fricking hungry and I really do eat a lot throughout the day. I've decided that I need to be better with my eating habits even if I eat relatively healthy and low carb oftentimes: ...

On Friday, I was just way sore from doing deadlifts on one day and squats the day after. I think I get D.O.M.S (delayed muscle onset soreness) a little later so surprisingly doing my workouts on this split was totally perfect. I know muscle soreness means that "I'm making gainz" but it's not pleasant when walking around; I feel that I walk around stiffly like a robot. SO, I searched up on how to treat D.O.M.S. or make it go away more quickly. Intake more protein - helps with muscle synthesis and accelerates the healing of muscle fibers Foam rolling afterwards - promotes blood flow especially to the area of injury/muscle tears/inflammation I think these two "treatments" may have sped up my recovery! So I'm ready to start week 2 STRONG :). Originally, I planned to workout Saturday morning since I allowed myself a rest day on Friday, however, I think my body needed the rest... slept 12 hours on and off. How you do dat?  :O This is the brand...

Thursday I believe I just ran around the neighborhood and wasn't very proactive with my working out. So I won't count this day. Day 14 Friday .  I spent most of the morning getting my eyes checked out and then immediately after I went to the gym for  Volume training  Squats! -warmup with the bar -add the 25 plates and do a set -make it 35 plates and do two sets -make it 45 plates and do as many reps. I take rests in between since I don't have anyone to spot me and every time I don't succeed in completing my squat I have to take the plates off and raise the bar again LOL.  -afterwards go back down to 25 plates and do volume training I also did some deadlifts, I couldn't resist. Then did Adbuctor machine before heading home. Oh but first, let me take a selfie I'm telling you  Squats > Deadlift  for booty growth. Trust me, I like big butts and I want one too. Day 15 Saturday .  Today I got to workout and teach my f...

Been watching  Chuck  and seeing the female protagonist, Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski) do killer moves and kick ass with hand to hand combat. All of a sudden I want to learn martial arts and become a certified BADASS.   I think it would also be awesome to have the skill to use a stick, pole, katana, sword. >:) So, I am adding become a badass  into my goals. Pretty excited! Day 9 (Saturday) I woke up well-rested and decided I didn't want coffee! On days I feel a natural motivation I try to stray away from unnecessary caffeine. I heard caffeine addiction and withdrawals are not so cool. Anyways Saturday was supposed to be a SQUAT day but this day I realized it really means = do every other workout while waiting for the squat rack . I had a great workout sesh however: -wide grip lat pulldowns -close grip lat pulldowns -deadlifts -then finally some squats.  Unfortunally by the time I went to the squat rack I was a bit tired, understa...

Lost count of workout days.. Had a lackluster past weekend with a mild case of FOMO. Had to study for test and also help my students study for theirs as well. Furthermore, since I worked out on and off throughout this week, my shower schedule was off and adding onto the mismanagement of my time I slept a tremendous amount. Zzzzz I wish I could carry over the excess hours I sleep. I saw this fact somewhere and thinking about the amount of time we spend sleeping fascinated me. 25 years if you sleep 8 hours on average. haha wow. So if you're 75 years old, you only really have 50 years of life experience :P, since 25 years were spent sleeping like Sleeping Beauty. so.. although I have been working out throughout the week but not as diligently as I would've liked, I'll call today's post Day 8 of workouts I am still penguin waddling around from two days ago when I did 10x10 volume training on squats. woo! Although I had a great squat session, I was pretty irrit...

Hahah today I did sets of deadlifts til failure. This message kind of made my evening today hehe My Deadlifting day usually follows like so: Warmup with 95lbs 1 x 10 reps 135 lbs 2 x 7 185 lbs x4 205 lbs x3 (my current PR) then drop back down to 135 lbs and do as many sets and reps TIL FAILURE. I usually can do about 6 sets of 5-7 reps. Then I finish with 10 minutes of inclined walking on the treadmill. Deadlift days are my most badass baby boss days :) Now if only my butt will grow and my belly fat will shed so I can have abs!

Oh man I gotta mentally prepare myself for LEG day. Wear the right clothes, fully charge phone for music, find some fitspiration and think about BOOTY #operationgrowabooty Also hope to catch Ryan Gosling at the gym Yesterday I went to a cafe and got one of their  Intelligentsia coffees . It was so strong (& delish!) I felt slightly buzzed. Needless to say it was perfect for LEG DAY and I went HARD at the gym. However I couldn't fall asleep til 6 am the next morning..  Ps, I don't usually drink coffee and tea (unless I water them down) and I most definitely restrict myself from drinking caffeine after 3pm simply because I actually stay awake. Why do people (Ahem bros) suck at re-racking. The only comfort I have to having to take off all the plates is that it's extra energy expenditure and I guess I'm still "lifting things and putting them down." Ryan Gosling fitspiration/motivation. Self-explanatory. Oo...
