    I'm completely excited to post this. I started lifting in November and basically have been working on recomposition. The first picture is from November and the security be is from tonight. Seeing slow progress, and loving the journey. I'm especially excited because my arms have always been a self-conscious point for me.

    love that shirt tho..puff into tuff.

    I do a program called Stronglifts 5X5. You can check it out at stronglifts.com. They have an app you can download to track your progress at the gym. Three sessions per week, about 45 minutes per session, so it fits into my lift relatively easily. I <3 it!

    @SagarikaBedi She lifts more and more weight every week. 5x5 Stronglifts is a progressive program to get you to lift as much as possible using compound lifts.

    She willingly updates a small group of friends on her progress every week at least and is an inspiration to us all.

    You look great but your chin and hair look way different in each picture, almost like two different people.

    Have to also agree. Loved stronglifts when I was at the gym. It was a quick program too taking typically 45-60 minutes depending on my rest time / time switching plates around. I also get easily distracted so that is my own fault.

    *I have a young infant so no gym for me right now so I am doing a full body lift program for dumbbells at home now.

    I recommend it as well...I started SL 5x5 in Sept 2013 and progressed quite fast. Switched to 3x5 for the summer then moved to an intermediate program 5/3/1 after that...no doing another program for endurance while keeping strength.

    My only recommendation is not compare yourself against others...we all started at low weights (for us) and progressed to heavy (for us)
