    I use StrongLifts 5x5 workout for heavy lifting.
    It's only 3 days a week 45 minutes each, and the results ROCK
    Great for burning Fat, Building Muscle, and Tone.
    their website has plenty of videos and success stories.

    You guys all look amazing! I think this is my favorite thread on here! You have all inspired me. I have been lifting for about a month. I can't wait to be able to post my own progress pics!

    I also do the strong lifts 5x5 program. I would really recommend looking at YouTube videos and practicing with an empty bar until your form is correct, I spent a lot of time on my squat form and i think i finally have it! Get that arss to the grass lol

    In for inspiration! Been lifting for just under a month - reading New Rules but hoping to start Stronglifts tomorrow. I tried the deadlift cage out for the first time on Friday and did alright but was too scared to try squats lol! ;f

    Unfortunately I don't have my pic from when I was 240 pounds but I didn't start lifting weights until last May. I didn't start lifting free weights until a month ago. The only difference I see in January vs April is my bat wings aren't as long. LOL! I want to fill all of that in with muscle but it will take some time. It's a slow go but it's so worth it!

    Starting weight: 260


    902ddc.jpg
    Left: 210 (Before I started to lift heavy)
    Right: 197 (Been lifting heavy 3 times a week with 30 minute cardio right after and another 30 minutes of cardio on one of my rest days)

    I've only been lifting heavy for two months so I don't have any real muscle definition that you can see but damn! It sure has helped with belly fat. Strong lifts 5x5 :3
