Mission accomplished. #vacationsewing #charliecaftan #caftancult @closetcase.patterns @artgalleryfabrics @aprilarhodes #voile
Question: I leave for vacation in approximately 20 hours. I have to do laundry, pack, eat, sleep, take care of my dog, spend time with Nick, maybe go to the gym, and watch Game of Thrones... BUT DO I HAVE TIME TO MAKE A CHARLIE CAFTAN BEFORE I GO????? I mean... I gotta try, right?? #vacationsewing #sodumb #butialwaysfallforit @closetcase.patterns #charliecaftan @artgalleryfabrics @aprilarhodes #voile #shiboriprint #sewing
Anytime I wear all white I kinda feel like the mean girl from a John Hughes movie. #sewing #white #linen @howtodofashion #no5århus #summer #dirtymirror #iveneverbeeninsideacountryclub
A clip from yesterday's deadlifts. This was from my last heavy working set which was an AMRAP (as many reps as possible) at 170lbs. I was able to bust out 10 reps despite the fact that my grip on my left hand was giving me trouble. You can see I start to do full resets between reps to dry off the sweat and give my hands a quick reprieve before my next rep. By the time I hit 10 it wasn't my body that made me quit, it was my grip! I thought I was going to drop 170lbs on my foot! Guess I need to start incorporating more work to strengthen my grip! But all in all I'm really happy with how these look. Despite not feeling my best, my back remains tight and pretty flat through the range of motion, and my butt doesn't pop up before my chest like it used to. A good sign that I'm building strength where needed and am ready to start putting more weight on the bar! Now if only I could get my squats looking this good... #deadlifts #sumodeadlift #girlsthatlift #girlsthatliftheavy #strongnotskinny #casualbodybuilder #gymselfie

Training chest is one of my favorites! I definitely credit going hard and heavy on chest day with shaping up my shoulders. Why? Because your shoulders are the secondary muscles used in all chest movements, and you can move much more weight with chest exercises than you can with isolated shoulder exercises, thus asking more from your shoulders. Of course I still do isolated shoulder exercises, because the shoulder is a complicated little muscle group that should be hit from all angles, but never underestimate the power of those compound movements!! I also just love a good chest split as well. Don't be scared of going heavy on your chest, ladies! Slide on under that barbell! P.s. I posed so hard for this photo. I don't walk around looking this swol!! #casualbodybuilder #girlsthattrainchest #girlsthatlift #girlsthatliftheavy #gymselfie #chestdaybestday
