Ha! These comments are too good. Anyway! Awesome advice. I just want to improve as much as possible. I don't plan on wearing one every single time I squat or deadlift, but I'm hoping it'll at least help give me that extra push and make me buff 'n tuff like everyone on here. B)

Right now I'm currently sitting at 155 5x5 bb squats and same for RDL's. My deadlifts have been the slowest to progress though as far as numbers go.

5'6". SW: 120 CW: 140 GW: Whatever. I'm not concerned with the scale. My goal is to add more muscle. My body tends to typically sway more on the leaner side, however I usually carry most of my weight in my hips.

I liked reading through all of these. This describes a lot of what I'm dealing with right now. As a woman with an already athletic build (yay sports) I'll always get *kitten* from my coworkers, family, and friends, like "Don't get *too big*" "Are those really YOUR arms?" "Wow you have big legs for a girl" "You can really…

I'm not into crossfit or anything, but I get bored with the usual barbell squats. I like overhead squats because I feel like they incorporate more activity in my core than usual even though they're a *kitten* to perform lol.

I don't take a lot of progress photos to be honest and this isn't anything crazy but.. Went from a 110 lb "skinny fat" party girl to being happy, fit, & healthy. :)

Check your form and make sure you're squatting with your knees out. You might be squatting too narrow. Try a resistance band wrapped just below your knees and do body weight squats until you get your form down. Good luck!

@EJJKMc6 ah thank you so much! Hahaha it's definitely a struggle! Such a great song though! @285to170

These have all inspired me. Haha for real though, I have a love/hate relationship with leg day. Mainly squats. Hate 'em! I'm gonna try out a couple of your routines and let you know how it goes. Second leg day is over the weekend. :) I finished up today with 5x5 box squats, Bulgarian split squats, hip thrusts, deadlifts,…

Birthday Cake Oreos and wine. :D Worth it.

Anything by: ASAP Ferg, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Volumes, Britney Spears (because duh), Everytime I Die, Anderson .Paak, Between The Buried And Me, & any 90's hip-hop, specifically Pony by Ginuwine because that's my *kitten* on leg day. Wide variety depending on my mood for the day so it's hard for me to pick specific…

You sound like me! I'm always on the go. I think getting some quick carbs in your system after working out is best. I'll usually make some overnight oats beforehand. Oats + almond milk + favorite protein powder + nuts/seeds + fruit (usually banana or blueberries) and I'll eat it cold on my way to work. Or if I have time,…

My go to lately: Egg or egg white omelette with shredded cheese and grated zucchini (about a half cup), turkey sausage or bacon, whole wheat English muffin one side with peanut butter and the other with mashed avocado, and big cup of green tea! Super simple and really yummy.

Awesome feedback! :) Right now I'm currently taking 3 grams a day, usually first thing when I wake up to allow my body to absorb the creatine and usually I won't workout until 1-2 hours later. I've noticed a difference so far in terms of volume and endurance but I'm gonna play around with timing and see if it's better to…

Green tea and Pes Science High Volume pre workout gives an awesome pump. :)

I second that! :#

I don't stay up that late. I'm in bed by 10 pm due to my work schedule (well most of the time anyway) I've had my hunger pangs wake me up, and at one in the morning the only thing that sounds appetizing is something incredibly bad for me. I'm gonna play around with the timing of my meals and see if that makes a difference…

These are all great ideas for late night snacking! I'm gonna try them all out, and start logging my treats at the beginning of the day. Wish me luck!

Yeah the leg press almost always makes my hips angry, and I prefer getting my heavy squats in as well because I like to get my compound exercises in while I can. My heavier days are usually at the beginning of the week so I can give myself enough recovery time for round two. I warm up by walking on an incline on the…

I haven't tried a tennis ball yet! Foam rolling gives me temporary relief but I feel like my hips have gotten tighter since I've been able to lift heavier. I'm just afraid I'll injure myself and won't be able to go to the gym for a while. :s But I think I'll break out a tennis ball and see how it goes!
