Just a girl who loves the gym

2025 was good to me! Hit 302 out of 365 days of working out. The goal was to workout 5-6 days a week and I did just that. My goal for 2026 is to get serious and find a coach! I’ll keep y’all updated but I’m very grateful for everyone supporting me. The gym has been my happy place for years so I love getting to share my passion with others!

Never skip back day. Here are a few exercises from my back/shoulder day

Squats from yesterday. Wasn’t aiming for a PR, just wanted to go until it started to feel hard. Been doing a lot of depth work lately. My max is currently 250 but I feel I could definitely go higher with a spotter. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’m always scared to go super heavy even with the safety bars because I think about what if I bail incorrectly 😭

If you look close enough, you’ll see me shaking the whole time 😂

Had a friend tell me she thinks I’d be good at calisthenics so I wanted to try out some beginner moves to see how hard it is and all I can say is I definitely underestimated the amount of strength needed 😭

Hardest pull-ups I’ve done yet but really just wanted to test my limits. Was pleasantly surprised.

These three exercises plus rows, reverse hypers, rdls, and lat pull downs are my go tos on my posterior chain days. I’ve really started seeing an increase in strength since incorporating them in my workouts twice a week

The one handed one looked easy until I actually tried it 💀

Long time no see!

Trying to actually commit to posting more on here, so here’s a quad-focused leg day I did a few weeks ago that I started incorporating into my weekly training

Hi friends! Here’s my very late New Year’s dump. Everything in this dump is from the past month, but as I look back on the past year, I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made. I’m more confident with my lifts and also getting stronger everyday. My main goal for 2025 outside of lifting heavier is to be more intentional with my food choices. I have a bad habit of eating out a lot and also ignoring my food intolerances which leads to me not making as much progress as I should. Anyways, I hope everyone has been having a good 2025 so far by @liftwaja

I noticed that when I would attempt heavier squats, the depth that I wanted just wasn’t there (second slide is from October) so lately I’ve been bringing the weight back and working on my depth. I’m not really sure what my squat pr currently is because I haven’t been working towards a pr in about two months but my goal is when I do go for it, the depth is there. Can’t wait to see the difference this makes. Even though I’m kinda bummed because I expected to be higher with my squats by now, I’ve been dealing with a back injury for a few months of the year that kept me from squatting, so I’m happy for the progress nonetheless. by @liftwaja

Here are some lifts from last week that I’m proud of!

1) Finally hit 135 on bench. Actually went up a lot easier than I thought it was going to

2) 5th set of 205x4. Been trying to get back into heavy squats after hurting my back

3) 335 lb deadlift. PR is 345 so working my way back up to it

4) 8 pull-ups. Slowly adding more each month. Goal is to get to 10.

I’m back! Pt 1 of my upper body essentials. These are some of the exercises I do weekly to build upper body strength. I’ll typically do a strict press until it gets too heavy and then switch to the push presses. I’ll also sometimes do the lateral raises and rows with dumbbells. It really just depends on how I’m feeling.
