Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

Hilarious pic I found on my phone - not sure where it's from!

We all know that I want shoulders. Scratch that. We all know that I am crazy mildly obsessed with building boulder shoulders.

Remember the video I posted in my I Wanna Be Like Dwight post? Side note - can we just talk about how much I miss my mohawk? I'm seriously thinking about going back to it! Can I also mention that my body looks so different to me in that training video?? I haven't watched it in awhile and am realizing that I really have made some serious changes to my physique since we shot that.

I also talked about my ever-growing desire to have shoulders like Dwight and Candice Keene as well as sharing a couple different shoulder workouts in my The Obsession Continues and Mixin' Things Up posts. Since those posts were a few months ago, I thought I would share some of the more recent workouts I've been doing.

I recently learned how how to do clean and press and I have to tell you, I kinda love it :) I've been incorporating it into at least one of my weekly shoulder workouts.

Ignore the booze & focus on the cute bow in my hair & the appearance of my right shoulder...lol!
I'm excited about the developments that appear to be taking place!! Do I have Dwight Howard shoulders? No, I'm not quite there yet. But like I've said before, I want boulders so bad I can taste them!

Gimme...gimme...gimme!!!
