Ingredients for 12 muffins:
⚪3 eggs
⚪1 packet vanilla sugar (or just vanilla extract)
⚪1 baking powder
⚪200g plain yogurt
⚪1 tbsp rum
⚪180g coconut flour
⚪2 tbsp coconut oil
⚪150ml liquid of choice
+ 200g fruit of your choosing

Mix everything together, divide into tins, and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes.
I didn't bother adding any sweetener. In my opinion, they need it, so I just eat mine with some jam (which is mostly fruit anyway). 🍒

More info over on my page (check the link in my signature). 🕺

Just a quick update on my leg progress. 😁

Since I shifted more toward isolation work—while still hitting cross-training 2 or 3 times a week—and really dialed in on Time Under Tension and that mind-muscle connection, the results have shown up pretty quickly.

The photo isn't anything special, but I have a profile picture on my Instagram that shows the progress much better.

I'm sitting at about 17-18% body fat right now (still in a lean bulk phase), which is solid. You can see the quad heads starting to pop, though they don't show up great in this shot.

I’m prepping for a trial run on stage this year, with the goal of officially competing next year, though I'm hoping I'll be ready to go this season too. 🍿

No heels, damn it. 🤣

Here’s another shot—no heels, no filters, none of that stuff.

We were out at Lake Tahoe last week, just chilling, no gym session involved. 🤣

I didn't feel like cropping the guy out of the frame.

Just a little selfie before heading to bed.
The male version of me, with a lower FBI rating. I've got a brutal mindset and solid discipline when it comes to training, diet, and life in general. Since I've been on this forum for a while now and it's become a part of my life, I figured I'd just post it without making a scene...

Take it easy on me, please. Feeling a bit self-conscious right now. 😢

Tyson, if the photo file is too big, let me know and I'll fix it. 😁

Some guy on the sub says I’m like a sailor, popping in every month or two and then vanishing again.
But that isn't actually true. I read everything and stay up to date, I just don't have the bandwidth to reply to everyone...

Anyway, here is a quick update.

I started a lean bulk, taking it slow. Put on some weight and moving forward.

Someone asked for a back shot a while ago, so here is a full body shot including the traps.

I'm satisfied. It's summer now, which means it's time to dial in the training and get to work. If only I had more time—if my workload wasn't so heavy—maybe I could hit the gym twice a day, but yeah 🎉

Suggestions? Critiques? 🙂

It’s been a lifetime since I last posted here.

Life just doesn't leave much room for typing, but I'm still lurking through the PDFs. 🙂

Still stuck in the CrossFit grind. Honestly, I'm working more now—balancing two jobs is a mess—so I'm training less than I was this time last year, but I still hit it about four times a week. The goal is to push the results further. Trying to reclaim the muscle I lost during that two-month break where I did nothing, but apparently, the body has a memory. My legs took the biggest hit.

Feel free to drop some criticism or whatever. 🎉

Here’s my current status report 😁

This was my previous update. There’s also an older one featuring shots of my midsection and legs from back then.

Back when I first started, my legs were already strong, so I wouldn't say there's been a massive shift there, but I'll post the full set just to ensure nothing—legs, hips, glutes—is missing. 😁

The biggest change is right here, and it all comes down to training volume and how I've structured my workouts. I’ve built up quite a bit of shape here, and I'm happy with it.

Front view from the front:

Abs have technically improved too, though they're hard to capture properly in a photo:

And lastly, gluts and hamstrings, as much as I could manage to capture:

FoRi mentioned I've put on some "mass" (referring to the glutes, obviously), and since they see me more often, I'd agree. It's been a while since I weighed in, but I'd estimate I've gained at least a pound or two of muscle. Glutes and legs are stronger. I'm satisfied.
Strength is the priority now; that's the next target. Increasing the weight I lift, making progress, keeping the nutrition clean, and finally nailing certain elements in CF that I'm currently struggling with. A competition might be the end goal, who knows. 🙂

So, feel free to comment or critique. 😍

P.S. Ignore the location. This is the only spot I found with decent lighting and a large enough mirror. 😁

Megan Flores42 said:I honestly don't buy it... if nothing works, what's the point? First they told me to use the stair climber, then a stationary bike—now apparently neither actually does anything. 🤷

Regarding priorities, I'm definitely not going to sit there and endure burning pain just because some mindless machine tells me to. I’m going back to the stair climber; it suits my routine better. Even if the bike technically delivers more results. I tried putting a gel pad on the seat, but it didn't change a thing.

Agreed, you shouldn't have to suffer. Check out that link I sent you earlier. Look into getting a different saddle. It isn't unusual for it to hurt that much. 😉

As for lifting the glutes, squats. Tons of them.

Weighted squats, or jumping lunges where you focus on driving upward with shorter steps.

😂 👍

Good sex burns plenty of calories too 😁

And you can always mix things up with positions that involve squats and pushups 😬

The bike thing is just awful. I still remember the pain after riding a Harley, and that wasn't even dangerous ☕

😂 Cut the attitude. 🙂

OT: Maybe try switching up the seat entirely. Something along these lines?

Check with some specialized retailers.

I’ve been wanting to post a shot of my body as a whole for a while now, but I didn't have a decent camera handy (not that I’m exactly a pro photographer 😬) so here it is, finally. Full body view.

And my back, which shows all those old injuries from years of playing volleyball—my right arm is definitely more developed from all those spikes.
🙂

Over and out (with the photos). 😁

Just a reminder, I’m sitting at 112 lbs. There are days I wish I had more mass, thinking I could probably hit my target weight faster if I were heavier, but honestly, progress is steady and I’m in no rush. If my body decides it wants to pack on more muscle, let it happen. I already have a decent amount for my size.
Feel free to share your thoughts. 🙂

Here’s my little contribution to the thread.

Ten years of volleyball, a brief stint doing Capoeira, back to volleyball again, and now I’ve been hitting CrossFit for about four or five months.😍

I don't have any photos of my back or arms handy...

I’m happy with where I am. The goal is just to keep progressing with the training and focus on strength—trying to lift heavier.

I’m not sure if you can even call this a recipe, but having an idea like this on hand during the summer heat is always useful.🙂
