    Honestly, this is the first time I've ever been told I can do this, even at gym, they guys have all been like "oh hunni, try these 1kg, 0.5kg ect" so it never even crossed my mind

    I'm excited though :)
    And this just makes me sad. You show them how awesome and strong you are. Make them stop assuming that women are too dainty!

    GIRL I am excited for you. There is a distinct feeling of empowerment when you finally realize everyone who told you that is full of dookie. You're going to impress yourself (and those guys at the gym), too- when you finally get rid of the shackles, women have pretty powerful lower body strength.

    YES!! You will feel AMAZING when you start increasing your strength!! I am also excited for you!! :drinker: :drinker:

    Pistol squats with 1.5lb dumbbells should do the trick.

    With dumbbells, yes
    With 1.5 pound dumbbells, no.

    If you want to do something effective you're going to have to use equipment that weighs more than your iphone.

    Do lunges, squats, deadlifts to your heart's desire. You WILL see a difference!

    Ahh well my bad... I just bought the set since a friend reccommended. Im having a look online now for 10kg pair for home, anything bigger i can use at gym.

    Do you have a local used sporting goods store around if you want some lighter weights at home? I got two dumbbell bars, a standard barbell and 65# in plates for less than $50. Don't be afraid to use heavier weights. Make sure your form is correct, then push yourself a bit. I'm sure you know from the comments that a few pounds isn't going to do much. There are also some great body weight exercises: glute bridges and and hip thrusts. Do you have a child? I do them with my 4 year old sitting on top of me. She gets a kick out of it.

    Also, look at the Single Leg Romanian Deadlift. You don't have to use a huge amount of weight for that one. I DL 150# and squat 100# and did the SLRDL with a 35# db on Saturday and I'm still sore. Also, goblet squats. Go deep.

    omg omg me to me to *grabs everyones hands and starts skipping around in a circle* What Dav said, my cockles are warmed lol

    This thread has me looking at Olympic bars again. Why must I not be rich.

    Also OP if you want to look at something all the stronglifts 5x5 info is available for free online. There are plenty of nice bummed people doing that routine.

    omg like I get to lift 3-5 lbs AND get free frilly underwear recommended for squats 'cause I am all over that. Am I just like ever so paranoid about showing my panty line. Well I be able to talk as much as her during the workout? Great. I need enough energy to put down fitness models like she did.
