I need new before and after pics. These are my most recent, and they're seven months old.
And you didn't even drop the bar! Super inspiring. I'm still waiting to break 100 - should be in the next week or so.0 -
I love this thread! Such beautiful and STRONG women! I just started StrongLifts 5x5 a few weeks ago and I keep worrying I'm not going to lose fat, just gain muscle underneath it all! But this thread makes me so excited for results!2

Absolutely silly! Chicas can, and I would suggest should, lift heavy.....with no fear of getting bulky. Well done!1 -

Great record, well done!!!1 -
I'm not lifting like some of the superwomen on here , but I work at it 3-4x/week. Here is a pic of me fully flexed vs. relaxed. I don't think I look bulky at all.
(Age 51, lost 130 lbs hence the extra skin)

5'4.5" 133 lbs in both photos | Cardio (left) 12/2014 vs lifting heavy (right) 1/2020
I was working with a trainer on lifting heavy in 2014 *however* I got the running bug and started running long distances. I also got tunnel vision and was only running. I ran a marathon (26.2 miles) in January 2015 three weeks after the photo on the left was taken. photo
In the photo on the right, I've been lifting heavy since September and I run about once a week. I built my own home gym in November and have been working on the Stronglift 5x5 program.
You'll notice RBL over my weight rack. That's for Run Bike Lift. When I get running tunnel vision I completely abandon strength training. I try to incorporate some leisure cycling and I tend to not get tunnel vision with leisure cycling.
The photo on the left shows mostly cardio, very little lifting. The photo on the right shows heavy lifting with little cardio.
