Wow. You look amazing! Also, not 48. If you told me you were in your mid-30s, I wouldn't question it for a second. Your results are super inspiring.0 -

You ladies all are awesome, incredible pictures and work you have done. My wife went into the doctor a few weeks ago when she had hurt her back and she saw a new doctor because her's was busy. This lady doctor told her "don't lift the heavy weights you don't want to look like your man, big weights are for men" hilarious. You ladies are gorgeous!1

When the body fat percentage drops, and muscle definition appears, most women look like teenage boys. Just my opinion. Go ahead, knock yourself out.0

Anyone any tips for starting to lift heavy with a dodgy back?
have had sciatica/recurring bulging disc for 10ish years, have worked on my core quite a bit and lower back and abs much more stable these days, also have quite good arms for a girl. Really wanting to step it up, but do it safely.
Not afraid of a bit of pain, just no damage
At the moment am doing some of gillians dvds and have got just over half way through 100pushups a few months ago before my back had enough.
any advice welcome
Hi, I started lifting about 7 weeks ago and have similar back problems. If anything it seems to be improving as I strengthen the lower back muscles. I am careful particularly with squats, not to overload to quickly as I am worried about exacerbating the problem but I'm now up to squatting with 40kgs without problems. I've talked to a physio about this and he sees lifting as a good thing, so give it a go but know you limitations. By the way I also have an arthritic wrist and pain from an intercostal separation last year but all seem to be improving as I get stronger.0 -

Has anyone achieved success by lifting at home?
I'm putting together a home gym and prefer working out at home. There's a few exercises though that I need the machines at the gym for that I still need to find alternates or modifications for.0 -
Just so you know, you have THE sexiest legs I have ever seen. A-friggin'-mazing.1 -

Wrong. I do.0 -
Do you?
I never see anyone who has gotten their body fat under 20% with saggy tums0 -
I just posted my own thread with this, but figured I'd also post here to reiterate heavy lifting's capabilities!
