Leg Game On Fiya!!!

So, today I had a great day in the gym. Last week I mentioned a girl that convinced me to practice A2G (Ass to Grass) squats. Well, she and I are officially gym friends. Today was her leg day too and we chopped it up quite a bit today while squatting. She's a 19 year old college freshman, loves to lift, and has massive leg power. Today, I spotter her heavy squats and she ended up maxing out at 235lbs which is impressive. She lacked confidence and was going to stop at 220lbs but the Monster Garage Kim came out and convinced her she could life that $h*t, add 2.5 and 5lbs at a time. She did it! Oh by the way, her name is Jen.

After she was done I continued to squat (without a spotter) and decided not to attempt the 225lbs without one. So alone, I ended up squatting 190lbs 2x! I am completely happy about that!!! I squatted more today than I have in a long time. I mean I worked by way up to the 190lbs by squatting reps of 10, adding weight after each set. I lost count but I'm sure I did close (if not more than) 200 squats. After I was done with the 190lbs I lightened the load to 135lbs and did 2 more sets, then did about 5 sets of 10 at 115lbs. AFTER THAT, I practiced my front squats with 95lbs and my A2G squats with the bar. So I know I did  more than 200 squats today. My legs felt so pumped. Because I was pressed for time and my legs were like jello, I didn't get to the lunges, leg press, or calf exercises, but I did get in leg extensions and hami curls. I spent 3 hours in the gym today and nearly 2 of those hours was spent at the squat rack. I'm sure I will be paralyzed tomorrow... That's a good look!  Hahaha!

For Friday and Saturday of this week, I will be boxing. I hit the pads with Jerome day before yesterday after my workout and it felt good. I will start sparring with him next week and then when my girl Meagan comes down to spend the weekend I will spar with her as well. March I will probably call in some other great female boxers that I know to spar with me. I want as much sparring as possible before April and definitely before May. I still have not made the final decision as to whether I will be fighting May 6th, but I'm preparing as though I am (because I probably will). LOL! Soon I will post pics of the custom boxing outfit that someone has offered to make and send me for this fight. I have to make sure it USA Boxing compliant. Ugh...

Other than having a BEAUTIFUL LEG DAY and getting my boxing training in order, all is great! The support I need is finally forming and I'm feeling good about it. Jerome has agreed to work with me on a regular basis and I will also be utilizing Rita F. (Hall of Fame female boxer/Boxing Trainer) when I can get to her gym. I'm so excited about that.


Well, that's all the good news I have for now. However, I only expect for more to come. :-)
