Added!! Thanks!!

Hello! I'm an active member, kickazz motivator and supporter of my grind family, I comment rather then hit the like button, lifter of heavy things, I'M NOT on the weigh loss train, but I'll support you! Open food diaries ONLY please, looking for likeminded individuals like myself, oh and I lift other women up, so if you…

My peach

Squat: 150 Bench: 110 ( utilizing the,flat bench underneath the Smith Machine as a spotter) Pulls: 195

Stronglifts is a great place to start, download the app. If that's not your thing, then depending on your goals, work according to them. It's easy to ask others for help/info... that's awesome, a lot of knowledgeable individuals on here, but what works for them, won't necessarily work for you, our body mechanics are…

This!!!! I use the slingshot along with gangsta wrist wraps!

Polar Loop with chest strap!

Fellow Buckeye... not looking for a fitness partner, but feel free to add me if you'd like!

Polar! There's not one that will be 100% accurate, but Polar is a great brand!

I too utilize the Smith Machine for that purpose as well. I honestly don't think there's anything wrong utilizing the Smith Machine to squat. Bro Science can suck it! I just want to challenge myself, and get the most out of this program, it demonstrates 11 different squatting techniques, so I'm doing my thang! I too use to…

Converse mainly. I was actually kidding about squatting in my bare feet, but I do when I dead lift. I'm not worried about what I can contract, I go right home and shower, and I attend a small gym, not alot of traffic in the deadlift area.

I do squat/deadlift barefoot, and in heels!

So this evening, due to stubbed index finger, awaiting healing, I'm sort of limited in the gym. But I did practice in the squat rack, with unloaded BB, focusing on footing/form... felt awkward and I'm sure I looked awkward, wasn't wearing proper shoes either, maybe that's why I felt like I was tipping forward. Normal for…

Thank you! Appreaciate your input!

Great info, thanks!

Thank you! I knew not to go as heavy as I did utilizing the Smith Machine, I was squatting my Body weight, about 157 lbs in different rep range...I'll practice with bar/and form right out the gate! If I can pull, I can squat!

Mark Bell and Silent Mike are great youtube intros too!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Totally love the hubby quote! It's an awesome feeling, to have that support from our men! My hubs is the same! However, we need to keep their attention....MmmHmm!

@ClaireBeneymfp first and foremost, I totally understand your struggle. It doesn't matter if you weigh your food, don't weigh your food, exercise your brains out and or diet....the thyroid had a mind of its own, and until it is regulated, you are fighting a battle you'll never win. I have Hashimotos, due to a flip flop…

Been IF'ing since July 12th, started out 16:8 method, currently doing 20:4... lovin it! Goal has, been to drop BF% not necessarily to lose weigh :smile:

I do my workouts during my fasting state.. because that is how my schedule works. I make sure I drink my BCAA'S and recovery drinks. Do what best suits you.
