Granny loves to lift ! Progress pics !

I posted a few weeks ago about starting lifting . The thread is here

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/996555-5-1-age-62-just-starting-lifting

I received such wonderful comments that I was spurred on to try harder. I am really loving what lifting doing for my arms and hoping my waist will firm up also.

Here are a couple of pics taken today . I am trying to do the 5 x 5 stronglifts and have 30 mins with a trainer each week to help me with my form and he pushes me !!

So far the most I can lift is the 20 kg bar . I dont do the squat with the bar on my shoulders because of an old neck injury so I do squats with an 8 kg weight in each hand

If you didn't see the original thread I am 62 [ almost 63 ] currently weigh 116.5 lbs and trying to get to 112 with lower body fat but not too low. I

I have lost approximately 14 lb since early March 2013

I do Zumba 3 or 4 times a week and lift for 20 to 30 minutes 3 or 4 times a week at present

I will try to post the pics now



I cant seem to get the pic above to the right size to show both arms .... can someone help ?? Yay did it !
