Better late than never... Two weeks left to stick to the following goals:
1. Do my SL workouts 3x/wk, and focus on form and breathing.
Weight goals:
Current Goal
Squats 60 90
OHP 45 55
DL 55 70
Press 50 65
Row 50 75
2. Drink more water.
3. Eat healthy and at home more often.
4. Go swimming atleast 2x per week for an hour.
5. Only step on the scale 1x per week.0 -
My goal is to finally be able to add some weight on my OHP. It's been 2 or 3 weeks and I'm still only up to a barbell. It's just too freakin' heavy! I'm shocked at how much better I am at squats and deadlifts than I am at bench presses and OHP. I always considered myself a lot stronger in the upper body than the rest of me. I guess I was wrong.
I would also like to lose another 5-10 lbs (of fat) and get to be at or below 20% body fat. This bodacious booty (sarcasm) I got is just making that really difficult for me. Why is it that the places we want to lose are always the last to be touched?0 -
Hello Im new to this group and new to lifting.. Would LOVE some great tips and LIFTING FRIENDS
Thanks, Valarie0 -
1. Form, form form!
2. Increase weight and don't be scared if I fail
3. Oh ok get some boring boring cardio in..
4. Eat properly and log it! Being at or around maintenance it is easy to take my eye off this one!
review of goals as my next workout will be tomorrow 1 May, looking forward to the May goals thread to put some weight related goals in!!
so...
1. Yes, yes yes! This seems to be getting better and better
2. Yup, failed and deloaded and other than a 'meh' moment it's been a positive thing
3. Hm. Not a lot, need to think about how to work this in without increasing gym time..
4. Logging hasn't been 100%, and I did get attacked by the peanut butter and custard creams a few times!! A goal to roll..0 -
my goal is to do Anti-March where I had a bunch of mediocre workouts.... it showed in my March results where I lost 8 pounds but more importantly didnt lose much in the way of inches....basically 1 of my hips, NADA from waist and a half inch off my already too small boobs
Goals: Swim 3-4 times a week before work
Strong Lifts or Body Pump Class 3 Evenings
Lose 10 pounds
Get into size 10 jeans (current size 12)
Stick to Saturday morning ONLY weigh-ins
swimming....ehhh swam twice a week most weeks- ehhh
weight training.... barely made twice a week most weeks... ehhh
weightloss- April 1= 181...today= 173.5 down 7.5 pounds... not goal but nothing to complain about
jeans... size 11..wore size 10 Skirt last week... size 12 swimming but not quite ready to move down to size 10 jeans....
Im going to do measurements and pictures this weekend to get a visual of any progress....
the traveling & work issues made it hard to stick with Saturday only weigh-ins but I didnt obsess or weigh daily so Im OK with that0 -
1. Lose 7 pounds (This is aiming high. The truth is that in my long-term plan I only expect to lose 5) and measure at 44.5% body fat. That would mean weighing around 200 pounds and no loss of LBM. 201 will be very exciting for me since that would mark 1/3 of the way to my goal.
2. 14 SL workouts. This shouldn't be hard to do, I am very consistent with my exercise.
A. Squat 100 pounds Current 85
B. Bench 73 pounds Current 66
C. Row 94 pounds Current 80
D. OHP 50 pounds Current 47.5
E. DL 175 pounds Current 145
Well, I'm happy with this month!
I have lost exactly 7 pounds since April 1!
Whoops 13 SL workouts. But, I did do quite a bit of cardio work, and I never sluffed a SL workout on purpose, so I'm going to call that a made goal.
The weight goals weren't quite so successful. I'm at:
Squat 122.5
Bench 67
Row 82
OHP 51
DL 165
So I only made two of them. I'm totally cool with that, though. I am going to do some form checks with my Bench which is seriously lagging -- and I have been bench pressing before SL -- and I'm sure it will catch up.
Bring on May!!0 -
but you progressed with them all! 0

* To not miss a lifting day except for 1 perhaps 2 sessions right after my birthday while I am in Vegas. The casino has a smith machine, but no power rack. I was already ambivalent, but now I believe that I will just count it as a planned break for extra muscle recuperation. This will be after 6 weeks of SL.
* To not beat myself up about strength stalls. Patience.
* Shift one more baby step closer to healthy eating. More vegetables in particular. More crockpot, homemade meals
* Take more/better progress pics and measurements
Iffy on the beating myself up on strength stalls, but I hit the others! The week off SL (2 workouts) was really good for me I think. Eggplant lasagna tonight that I put together yesterday! Also made creamy pork, a whole ham, split pea and ham soup, a whole lemon chicken with veggies, salsa chicken breasts, bbq country ribs, pulled pork, roast with veggies, etc in the crockpot this month. I'm also doing a bit better about adding veggies, berries, and lower glycemic fruits. Yum.
Congrats to everyone on hitting or at least getting closer to their goals! Now what do we want to do for May?0 -
And how did it go?I´m a completely newbie, my first day lifting is tomorrow (the 2. of april.)
My goals:
Consistency! To show up for work every workout through the month.
To learn proper form. I want to learn the basics and improve it as much as I can.
To read all of Starting Strength "A simple and practical guide for coaching beginners". Maybe twice.
To raise my calorie level (wich is a little transboundering for me...) from 1350-1600 (Final goal 1800)
I went to the gym every single time. Didn´t miss a workout.
I´m still learning. Probably always will. Have made an appointment with a personal trainer to check on my form (monday the 6´th.)
I´m still reading. English is not my native language...
Calorie level raised to 1600.
All in all a great month. 0
