    I went to the weight room. I was so happy that I worked up to squats@140. Yes, it was only 3x4, but it's still baby steps fwd. And I know I could have done more...but the weight room was really crowded and noisy, boys were doing box jumps and medicine ball throws really close to my squat rack.
    Ok, quick question.
    I make plans to meet my friend to lift. She wanted to do T/Th. So I skipped yesterday to run. Then she cancels on me for both days and asks if we can meet Wed. Ok, but that would mean I get only 1 good lifting day. So I went today. But now I'm going tomorrow and will take off Thursday instead. It's throwing off my rhythm for lifting and making progress. And what lifts should I do tomorrow if I went today?
    (I did squat, bench, OHP, pullups, and single leg squats.)
    How do I address this with her? It's like a running joke with hubby that she will cancel...

    CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SQUAT!!!

    You could do deads, abs, and some upper body cable work. Depending on how your quads are, you could focus more on upper body work.

    I had a friend who did that. I actually bought a gym membership so I could go with my friend, and she never ever made a single session. Eventually I gave up asking her. It hurt, to be honest, but I still went.

    I don't have any cables. I'm thinking circuit, with bleacher snakes, kettlebell swings, some glute work or deadlift, pushups or pec fly, biceps and triceps, abs...

    Not exactly a PR, but I've never lifted before. Always been more of a cardio girl. I started a 2x week class 2 weeks ago and I'm hooked. Heading to the gym tomorrow to get in a 3rd workout this week. I love focusing on nothing but what my body is doing for a couple hours a week!

    My circuits were great! I basically did everything I mentioned...snakes, pushups, deadlifts, kettle bell swings, lunges, biceps and triceps and abs, jumping jacks:)

    I hit the weights and worked my way up to 145lb squat. Yes, it was only 3x3, but I am glad I tried. I felt a little nervous, so I didn't push it. It will get better with consistency.

    Those are the bowflex adjustable dumbbells, I have the 90 pounders at home :) . Which one did you choose?

    They are cheaper knockoffs, but look identical. These are the 52.5lb ones. 😊

    I enjoy seeing these. I have no idea how to make a gif and I don’t really take any pics while I’m lifting. Keep up the great work everyone!
