    I'm a competitive Powerlifter. I eats LOTS of carbs, protein and fats. I struggled to make significant gains on a low calorie/low carb diet. It wasn't until I increased my caloric intake to 1800-2000 calories. You need to eat for your body to repair itself after lifting, especially if you lift heavy. Feel free to add me

    I don't currently lift much- background in spinning and some Crossfit- but I'd like to lift more. Ok if I join in to learn more?

    Hi! I would rather lift than cardio, but cardio helps with those endorphins and some legal blonde chick said that "endorphins make you happy and happy people just don't shoot their husbands. They just don't" ;) What types of exercises do you current do?

    Lifting gives me endorphins. I think if I only did cardio I would kill someone.

    Novice lifter here. Anyone doing stronglifts 5x5? Simple program for me. Looking to lose weight and hopefully show off the muscles I know I have under the cushioning.

    Friend me if you have similar goals! Thanks!
