Hi ladies,
I see there's a few of you who have been posting and would like a more active group for SC so let's make it happen! I've been putting off fully committing to the program but I think it's time to change that.

Leave a comment with which SC program you're doing and what week you're on and we can help motivate each other to stay on track!

    I started out with one plan I found online where it's the same workout for weeks 1-4. Because I wasn't really consistent I've been doing it for like 3 weeks on & off. I'm trying to do it 3 times per week. I really like it because it gives me more structure when I hit the gym. & I hate cardio & I like that this system doesn't push it so hard. I'll do a little here & there, but I've felt more muscle gains doing this than the running training I was doing before.
    I'm excited to hear how others are doing!!!

    I bought the book yesterday and finished reading today!
    I won't start the program until I'm done writing my thesis though... Priorities priorites.

    Would love to discuss progress and results with everyone. Also talking about exercise alternatives since my gym is quite small.

    I am no longer doing the program, but have incorporated it into my current routine. I ran the Gorgeous Glutes lower body program (plus I added my own upper days) for 4.5 months while I was bulking. I had fantastic results. Hip thrusts have changed my life (and my booty)!

    I've done the beginner program, then took several months off. Now I feel much weaker and out of shape, and no longer have a gym membership. I'm currently on day 2 of doing the exercises in Bret's Jane Fonda Experiment, as it's a short workout that I can do pretty much anywhere. Now that I'm out of the habit of working out and in a bit of a funk in general, I'm finding it really challenging to get back into it. I figure this is a good start for me while I try and lose the 10 lbs I've put on, then once I'm at goal I will see where I want to go from there.

    I've been running the SL program since March. For a few months I was focusing on upper body (added some arnolds, curls, etc) and would like to now focus on lower body. Anyone who is familiar with this program, is there a way to incorporate some of the SC exercises? My issues are my thighs, even on a deficit and adding cardio it's not working so I'm thinking of adding barbell lunges, hip thrusters, and pile squats.

    @guisa it is my understanding that hip thrusts, glute bridges, and bascially all of the other exercises from the gorgeous glute workout are great for lower body development. I just do those, each workout 1 day a week, on the 3 days I do my regular SL routine

    Thanks for the reply, honestly forgot I posted this. I rarely check this group since this group is inactive. But now considering running one of the full body programs so reading some of these posts.

    When I do SL5x5 I add barbell hip thrusts in at the end at either the weight of the deadlift or row. Since the row weight is lighter, I tend to add more reps or iso-holds. Doing this three times a week I can definitely see progress fast.

    I am re-reading SC now and it is suggested to "Use it or lose it". Elevated glute bridges, clams and abductions are recommended on days off.
    I like to add or supplement with 3x20 of bodyweight elevated SL bridges, pull-throughs and band work at low resistance on days off.

    Just checking in to see if there was any action here since I dug my book out.
