Feeling pretty decent about this. 3 sets of 95lbx9. This is the last set.
The form was a bit sloppy and the bar path wobbly, but when I remember how hard it used to be to do 75...It feels good!

I hit the weights again and actually worked up to 2x5@135 squats and 2x5@95 bench. I think having cool air helps a lot. Maybe I can push for 140 next week???1

Strong range of motion 😆. What is the purpose of the belt for benching?0 -

Thank you. 😊
I find it just gives me something extra to brace into when I'm nearing failure. A bit of extra support.1 -
Here's today's. Been learning different alternatives for when you don't have the equipment. The key is also to slow down the movement.

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...2 -

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...1 -
How did it go?

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!1

My circuits were great! I basically did everything I mentioned...snakes, pushups, deadlifts, kettle bell swings, lunges, biceps and triceps and abs, jumping jacks:)1 -
Here's my 374 lb. Deadlift at IPL Drug Tested World Championships. I competed in the Master's (60+) age group.

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.3

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!2
