    For ladies doing 5x5, Mehdi also suggests a fractional weight set so when you're doing OH Press and Chest Presses down the road you can add a pound or fraction of a pound since we don't have the same upper body strength as the guys. I got a set but so far if I fail I just do the same weight the next week and I've generally been able to finish it that week.

    This. I have gotten SO MUCH use out of my fractional plates.

    I was thinking of buying 1.25lb ones, or maybe lower?

    Also bumping in hopes of seeing more inspiring photos!

    Might as well buy a whole set. They're like 30-50 bucks depending.

    Hi I have seen lots of mention of strong lifts, 5x5 and strong curves. None of Chalean extreme. is there something wrong with her workout? I have to workout at home and have power block dumb bell 3-24kg.Is there something better I could be doing?
    Your transformation photos are all incredible and so motivating.

    If it incorporates progressive overload, hits all muscles groups and with enough frequency each week it could be fine. What is the program?
