Elke Today

Front, side, back. Frontal is supposed to look like Buffy’s stance.

Side, I point to the part that needs to be smallened.

Back, wow, check this out, I actually have a waist! Those crunches and oblique torture bits are paying off already.

Buffy

This is Buffy. (you know, because she’s BUFF.)

I don’t know who she is; this is a picture from the Athleta catalog. Look at those arms and shoulders and lats and abs! I want those. And her body type resembles mine, so this looks absolutely doable.

Edited to add that I have been told who she is. She is Mighty Meagan, a professional rock climber and climbing coach, and an American Ninja Warrior competitor. She comes by those muscles honestly. I’ve got my work cut out for me, and some big lats to fill.

Rory

I heart Rory.

That is all.

YOU WANT THIS, ELKE!

Wise man Bob Roll says: “The single most important piece of training advice I ever received was given to me by Mike Neel. He said, ‘ask yourself what you want, not how you feel’. His point being that if I asked myself how I felt, I would invariably answer “exhausted” and return to the couch ASAP!”
