@wkwebby and @mackenzies_frenzies that makes sense I have heard about the toe trick and I will try doing them at home, I have had others tell me to do wall squats. I dont think i realized how much i really was pushing back on the bar on the smith machine. Maybe I had my feet to forward and but because you can only go in…

Ok! I do things such as lunges, leg press, abductors, ect and do back extensions and just started deadlifts but I havent done step ups in a long time, maybe I will try those vs. lunges. I am starting the ICF this week and I may just have to start with body weight... I dont want to give up the whole routine

Nutri bullet or bullet is what I have its a single serve mostly you put all ingredients in the cup and put on the lid and thats what has the mixer blade on it. put it on blender and away you go. Takes up little space and works great you get between 4 and 6 different cups so you dont have to wash right away either.

ok will try those suggestions.... On my lunch I took off my shoes and did just a body weight squat and really tried keeping my heels down and staying off my toes..... fail to say the least....Its like I cannot be on my heals and my hips allow me to squat low I dont know if I need to really stretch muscles out or what my…
-
we dont have those :( I tend to bend forward instead of keeping my back straight and up. Just to prove I wasnt crazy I just went and did a few squats and my form was fine. Why I am struggling with this Is beyond me. I mean I squat plates on the smith machine surely a 45 pound bar isnt causing my issue..... at least i hope…

Well I tried doing them not holding a bar or anything and could seem to do them fine, its when I am holding on to the bar its like I completely lose all form, Its not that its too heavy or anything I just think I have never really done them free weight and it feels odd so my form is horrible
-
I agree, If I try and do it at home I find other things to do such as the laundry or dishes, or anything really because I think it needs done first. So the gym is just easier and it works and I look forward to that time away from the house. Besides sometimes you find, new work outs, friends, work out partners, different…

Haha that was clever :smile:

I dont think i personally do it maybe If I do its in my head but I have heard alot of Men specifically(not sure why) I have heard while lifting weights talk to themselves ALOT.. it seems to be helpful and acceptable to them.
-
I have seen alot of people suggest the 5x5 Strong Lift program, might be worth looking into for you :)
-
Thank you all!!

a machine, I have always had trouble with this and now that I have seen an average of others lifting well over It has me wondering....as I look back in the post I see that someone asked if leg extensions were same as leg press.... Seems I am just weak at this and need to work on it :neutral:
-
So now I am wondering why my leg extension is so low. I mean if I try to do several reps of like 60 pounds it seems to kill my muscles right above my knee. Is this just a weak area for me or am I doing something terrible wrong?!
-
You are a beast! Nice Stats! My leg press highest in reps so far is 340!! I really am thinking its time to up some weights!!!
-
These are all for reps I have never maxed out and dont progress much/ havent pushed to progress Squats 115 no less than 3*5 Deadlifts- I have never got form down not worth putting pounds here Shoulder press I normally do DB on this 25lbs in sets of 8-10 Bicep Curl DB-15lbs or 20lbs sets of 10/ Barbell 50lbs sets of 10 Lat…

Week days.. I put it on every morning before work. Weekends if I am going to work out. So there are probably days I go without!
-
oh my gosh absolutely!! Its one of my favorites too, if it doesnt pump you up...well you are doing something wrong :)
-
I am with the other thong girls, I must say though I do not like the kind thats thick in the back they tend to cause some of the issues you described. I run in mine, I squat in mine, do HITT and dont have any issues with them showing or riding in places they shouldnt. I do not wear any when I bike due to seams rubbing…

I really want to quit my desk job to work in a factory environment for 3 reasons.... the benefits for retirement and health are way better, the pay would be 5+ more dollars an hour than what I make now, and I could work over time. I can make more at current job but not for a while and I am not patient and setting all day…

I took a scoop of peanut butter out of the jar, dumped a few mini chocolate chips in my hand stuck them to the peanutbutter and ate it.... just like that..... after I had a salad for lunch.

Thats about the size of burger I have when I grill them. I use 93/7 beef so thats what I log. If you notice some entries have a check mark by them I try and use those when I log. If something I go to log doesnt have any confirmations on it I wont use it, I will find another one that has been verified or enter it on my own.…

Same I think some people who start exercising that didnt previous have had your issue when they first start though. I would just wait it out if you are really concerned take a test or go to the dr.
