    I'm flipping through ones on Pinterest looking for a good one. I think we should all take before pics and post both at the end once we find one we like

    Since I am a little skeptic of this, due to my inverted butt (lol), I will join.

    Maybe the before and after pictures will help me see a difference.

    Sounds like fun. I can always use some help with my legs and butt I'm in.

    I'm in, with my butt and gut reversed. Gut sticks out, butt doesn't!!! Did you make guidelines?

    I challenge anyone reading this to start squatting 5x5 with a barbell, 3 times a week and adding 5 pounds every workout. At the end of 1 month you will have added 60 pounds to your squats, look better and feel amazing.

    I've worked my way up from about 120 pounds to 225 this morning without stalling. :)

    I did this one in April and I cannot recommend it enough. There are 5 types so it's a circuit training type thing and it's really doable and has a breakdown of each squat and how to do it.

    @yusaku02 & @yopeeps025 People have to start somewhere...I started with the 30 day squat challenge and then moved to circuit training now lifting for 2 years...max squat is 210

    To those doing the challenge take side pics...(wish I had mine on my computer) and compare that way as well.

    Try doing it later in the month by breaking it up into sets of 20-25 with different types of squats like sumo squats (legs further apart and toes pointed out) etc. Helps break it up a bit.

    Good luck to you all

    that why I laughed about that person post. Yes we all start somewhere. We all start differently though. I knew kids who started weigh training at least two years before I did in high school. It didn't take me long to become stronger than them. I knew a guy who played football and couldn't start benching the bar. Man was he made fun of in high school. He gained our respect by never stop lifting until college.

    Ok key word is you. Also to compare the gains of a man to gains a woman can make. It is not the same and hopefully you know enough to know why.
