i dont like lifting :( no results

Try throwing a bit of cardio into the mix. I know--not much of a welcome comment on this site...but I got rid of my mommy tummy within a couple of months doing both lifting (approximately 20 mins) and HIIT (20 mins) or steady state (mixed my cardio routine up week by week).

The combination of the two can work extremely well and it breaks the monotony of strictly lifting or cardio.

^THIS!

The whole point of Strong Lifts is to continue to add weight on a schedule. You've been lifting in 5 sets of 5 reps, but not doing Strong Lifts.

squat- 50 lbs 5x5

deadflift-100 lbs 5x5

row- 20 lbs 5x5

press- 40 5x5

and please do not say go heavier because this is still heavy for me

How many reps can you do before you fail (drop the weight)?

Are you adding weight every time you are able to complete all 5 sets of 5, like Stronglifts says you are supposed to? What did you start with?

I haz a sad from this thread.

Me too :frown:

You say you are eating at a slight deficit. If you are trying to lose weight, you may need a larger (not too large) deficit, and to be properly measuring and tracking your food.

But, we don't know anything about what your stats are. What is your height, weight and waist and hip (maybe thigh as well) measurements. How much are you eating? What are the goals you are trying to achieve.

Are you overweight? Lacking curves? Want a smaller waist? Smaller thighs? Are you underweight, but jiggly and with belly fat? Do you want a bigger booty?

See, we can't advise you if we don't know what you want to accomplish. We don't know what you didn't accomplish without knowing what your goals were/are. Knowing this would be very helpful for us.

You said you want a flat belly. Our advice is different if you are overweight or if you are underweight with belly fat.

I hate lifting too, it's not fun for me. I still strength train because I know it's important, I just do yoga or pilates instead,

is pilates considered strength training?

I also HATE lifting...it's so boring to me to do the same repetitive motion over and over again. I prefer body weight exercises like pilates also. I started p90x3 about a month ago and like that wayyy better. It can also be argued that exercises like that are better for you because the movements target a variety of muscles versus just one with traditional weight lifting.

So.... in order words, you enjoy those because it's easier than lifting heavy weights.

So basically you're saying people who don't like strength training are LAZY? That's why I run 10 miles at a time, because it's easy, obviously. God forbid someone actually enjoys something different then you.

And just fyi, yoga and pilates are not easy. Often I wake up sore out of my mind and feel extremely challenged.

No. I'm more so referring to the fact that "Body Weight Exercises" are also repetitive continuous movements - ie. pushups, crunches, pullups and other movements in p90x etc. They just happen to be easier than say Squats or Deadlifts at 80% of your 1rm.

Also the comment that they target a variety of different muscles, but lifting weights doesn't?

If you want to run, run. If you want to do pilates, do pilates. At least make sense when you're trying to prove a point though.

I did not make the comment about body weight exercises, nor do I agree with it.

I suppose it's a good thing my original post was not in reference to you, but to the poster who did in fact say that then huh?

I still disagree with your implication that people who chose to strength train different ways are doing so because it's easier.

That's a lazy argument to make.
