  • Up again this week, 152.5. I’m getting ready to go on a business trip next week, but once I return I need to look at some of my habits. Weekends tend to be better for me since I’m more active, during the week I’m tied to my desk, sitting all day. I do work out each morning, lifting weights and a 2 mile walk but that’s it.…

  • I’ll chime in too. I gained about 10-12 lbs Jan thru March this year and it has been slow coming off. I’ve been tracking my weight daily for the past week and it fluctuates between 149 to 153 this morning. I’d like to get down to a range of 139 to 143. Starting weight: 153 Goal: 139

  • The only limitation with a 4’ bar would be squats. I’m not sure you could find a squat rack that small. I would suggest getting an Olympic bar. I made the mistake of getting a standard bar then couldn’t find 45# weights when I progressed with deadlifts and this happens fairly quickly. Another consideration would be…
