    great job. can you start lifting without a gym membership?

    You can, but it will mostly be body weight stuff unless you have the $$$ to buy a squat rack and weights! (I can't afford that unfortunately.) just google some home strength training plans, I'm sure you will find something.

    Awesome. I have the same love for lifting and only started a year ago, too.

    Look into Convict Conditioning or You Are Your Own Gym - they are solid body weight programs

    lol! I get many comments like this... But I always say the strength stays at the barbell :drinker: Of course unless I need to use it, like moving my behemoth dresser or packing two toddlers because they're whiny and tired.

    You are a lifting goddess. That's an awesome outcome for your first meet, too! I couldn't help but laugh when reading, "Swole for life!" :laugh:

    But lifting has empowered me as well. I used to be underweight as a kid and was unable to play football and other sports. Because of the increased lean mass from lifting and eating properly, I'm now capable of doing amazing feats that I wouldn't have thought were possible back then.

    Ah shucks, thanks! :blushing: And I occasionally have to get in touch with my bro side, maybe I just like watching Dom Mozetti at brosciencelife on youtube a little too much. hmm...

    And freakin awesome work yourself! I actually intend on gaining about 15 pounds of lean mass in the next few years. take that stereo types!
    DOM MOZETTI cracks me up !!! Cheri - you know you've provided me with some super inspiration and vision , i'm no longer stressin about "what i'll look like and how long its gonna take" i'm just riding the high and enjoying becoming this stronger version of myself !! THANKS a million !!!

    or packing two toddlers because they're whiny and tired.

    Ha!! THIS is how I first realized how much stronger I am getting due to lifting, being able to carry my two boys without the same struggle as before!! I love lifting for the way it makes me feel, and being able to use it in "real life" is just the sprinkles on top!
