Absolutely not....

Both look good.

Nope. Never; your knees should go outward. Be very careful with your ligaments...this is from my coach; he competes in squats / deadlifts. His form is awesome. But mostly; his clients never get injured which is the best reference for me :)

Thanks to all. I have been at a chiro; did a world if good. And back in for saturday. Dreading the atlas stone... Ah well. Will go back to chiro after....

You are right about clearing my head.... The days i dont workout i ibsessed about others becoming better than me! I need a break.... I think tgats the general consencus...:)

Well not much time for me; i have to say this weekend I see things more clearly again. But I dont know what happened to me this past week. i could hardly deadlift, missed my cleans, and my squats were mediocre. Today I was back on top... Tomorrow is my day of rest. Sometimes the pressure to excel is a bit much. Thanks to…

Spartans are: not toigh mudder. I do the elite line up, which are recorded. And yes medals... They are crossfit events with endurance running in mountains. I do the 25 km and above :) 30 events. Love it!!!!

I have an extremely muscular body now; my quads and hamstrings are really developped. I lift heavy, but as a female, i get the best results for muscles from the stairmaster after my strenght routine. With weights on my shoulders, and not touching the side bars for 20 mtes at good speed. Your quads and hamstrings will…

Well my coach is a 21 year old who sometimes puts his needs and goals ahead of mine. Since he is paid by my sponsors, well, you get the picture. And I am overthinking everything. i know that. But it has helped me so far.... And today was a better day. I relaxed a little... I think that having the list of the next 7…

Well life is hectic.... I am up at 4am, gym 5to 7 am, work all day as a grade 8 teacher, back at gym with coach from 4:30 to 6 pm, workput on ny weaknesses from 6 to 7 pm. Then eat, shower, and sleep 5 hours. Might look crazy, but I do get 2 full days of rest a week. And this is the schedule my sponsors have recommended…

I am confused with your goal... Being thin, or muscular and lifting heavy?? I am 48, I deadlift 250lbs 18 times in a row, squat 190 12 times in a row, and walk 255lbs (trap) 100 m. But I weigh 145lbs. And I will not go under that because then I cant lift. And I am told that I have the best body at the gym, and compete. I…

Thank you heybales. Lots to learn for me. New to the competing world...

My coach will be running after me in the gym to steal them....

I am laughing so hard!! Never thought about the oreos,

Well tore a rot c in shoukder doing cleans 3 wekks ago; and already back at it this week. My coach had me do rotations front to side with upper arm immobilized. Reinforced something ( i am French so half the time I google what he says..) but maybe some help to you??? Quite impressed with 45 db btw :)

Well I feel I should have specified something: I train because I compete in all kinds of Spartan races across Canada and the States. So thats why I train so hard. But my relationship with food is really weird. I will check the blogs mentioned. And thank you all for sharing; feels really good to have people who went through…

I know.... But i was told it will take time in order not to see food as an enemy.
