Ugh has anybody else felt like they might have pulled there uterus on a deadlift lol

Ahahahahah yes omg!! That moment when you realize your form needs work. -_-

@kshadows u look amazing! Can I ask if you were lifting with a particular program or what type of lifts you were doing and how heavy?

I'm still definitely a work in progress but here goes.

I started lifting in July 2014 after 5 months of running and bodyweight training. In January 2015 I started Strong Curves, primarily because I wanted to find a squat style that worked for me. I'd had a lot of trouble with back squats and liked SC because it would have me trying front squats, Zerchers, etc. I ended up liking those variations plus all of the lower body work.

Upper left - June 2014/158 lbs. I was down from 202.5 here and had been running and doing bodyweight training for just under 4 months. Chicken legs and noodle arms at this point.

Middle - December 2014/150 lbs. I had been lifting for 5 months, first doing a program devised by a personal trainer, then All Pro's.

Lower left and far right - March and April 2015/150 lbs. Just finished SC. Improvements in quads, calves, bum. Stomach is still the bane of my existence.

What are the best weight lifts for abs and love handles?

After 6 months of lifting weights















Edit: I just read the post about "please don't post pics of yourself flexing because it will scare girls who don't want to get bulky" so sorry if my offensively huuuuuge muscles scare anyone away

EJennings - How much did you weigh in the after pix?

bump. Everyone looks so great! Congrats!

I don't know anything about lifting weights at all. Can anyone explain to me how many days a week and how long a session last? How do you start? Do you need help/assistance? I don't plan lifting now because I don't have a car at the moment and my nearest gym is miles away, but I'll probably join a gym in two - three months time.

I do stronglift5x5.com all your questions will be answered on that site along with videos and an app you can download. I lost 17.5 inches, I now do almost no cardio compared to 25 hours before. I eat like a horse. I went from a 10-11 to 5-6. I did gain 4 lbs but I'm still shrinking and tightening.
