I recently lost about 20 pounds. I’ve been lifting for over 10 years but took a break five years ago. I’ve now been lifting for approximately two .a I noticed that when I had a lower calorie day/ meal the night before work out it was much harder - even when I ate a good pre-workout meal. the other day I ate a substantial…
Hi! I am new to an exercise program, trying to build some muscle to help with weight loss, as well as tone up. I am a 76 year old woman, need to lose 70 pounds. When I was getting PT for hip flexor issues I was doing squats with a 25 pound weight. The kind where I sat back until my butt touched the bench. My concern going…
Hello! Just signed up for this group. I'm getting back into training regularly again and looking to make friends in the online fitness community to talk to about progress, discuss hints/tips and push motivation virtually.

I had to do a deload after being sick for 3 weeks so haven't progressed super fast on these. Today at 125 was the first time I had to use the over/under grip, as doing both overhand felt like…
I have heard of this happening but haven't experienced this myself before. So I am weight training full body 3 times a week at 5-8 reps. In my 2nd or 3rd week now. I am eating at a deficit with a reasonable amount of protein. I weighed myself this morning and weigh EXACTLY the same as I did about 4 weeks ago and yet am…
I belong to Planet fitness. I do the Express 30 minutes workout. It involves cardio and strength training. Can't figure out how to log it
I am looking for an active group to join on MFP.
Whenever I squat I always look like the second picture at best. I cannot remain upright without leaning All the Way Forward. Sometimes my knees go too far forward also when trying to get down to parallel.
