I've seen some flirting, some outrageous, some tame. It just comes with the territory of social media. As @cmriverside says... keep your profile locked down for friends only. Send out friend requests to people you relate to on the forums and if someone gets in that is overly flirty, just remove them from your friends list…

lol I am stoked about trying for 4 plates a side using BOTH legs, tomorrow. You were doing that much one leg at a time? #faints

YOU ARE A BEAST! You are such an inspiration to me! Way to go on the PBs!!!

I got a bar pad off temu for like 15 bucks. It's great. I also used to use a pool noodle cut to length and then slit up the middle. Worked pretty well too. haha

I get this TOTALLY. I was like that last night. I didn't want to get ready for the gym. Didn't want to go. Put on my jacket wanting to stay home. Sat in the changeroom wanting to GO home. Lol. On the treadmill (warmup) didn't feel it. Prepping for squats... didn't feel it. But once I got through that first warm up set... I…

Last night's session went pretty well. I did notice that I have to focus more on keeping my knees from caving when the squat weight gets heavy. Bench - it's bench. It's so hard for me to see gains. And yet, I distinctly recall when I could not squeak out 105x5 without damn near dying... so I know I've made progress. Still,…

I missed this! Thank you Steve! ❤️

That's awesome!

Amazing! Incredible dedication evident there! *applause*

Smart call! Sucks to feel pain but really smart to listen to your body. I am going to have to do the same, I think. I recently added machine assisted Dips to my routine and now my right shoulder injury is acting up. 😔. I don't know why my shoulder hates dips so much, but it does. Not sure if I need to lessen the ROM,…

That is so huge!!! I OFTEN do not want to go to the gym, and last night was one of those nights, but I have found that I rarely regret going, and sometimes my best nights are the ones I had to push my self to go to. Super awesome that you pushed through and have been pushing for 5 weeks. You've got this!! Dedication takes…

Adding 25lb plates to each side of the leg press and still hitting as many reps as I did before (3x12). I am pretty sure I'll be able to do 4 plates a side for 3x10! 3plates a side was big for me. 4 plates makes me VERY happy. Also, I did 3 reps of deadlifts at 275lb. That used to me my ugly 1rm. (And that was at the END…

Your lifts have grown so much over the last year Gus! You're a beast! Congratulations on the new belt, it does take a bit of getting used to, but it definitely makes me feel like my low back is safer on those max effort lifts. As for the nausea and breathlessness... I find that especially with squats and a belt. I had to…

I really wasn't in the mood tonight, but I went anyways. I am sooooo glad I went! This was such an awesome session! Lifts were solid and moved nicely. Deadlifts went better than expected and my leg press was awesome! I upped my weights/reps on bench, deads and press.

Here's tonight's session It felt heavy, but good. My calculated 1rms are getting close to where they were, so hopefully I'll have recovered the strength I lost by getting trapped in my feels for a couple months. 😊

I actually did this very thing after my bench set with 155lb on the bar, but I unracked it, held it over my body locked out and then returned it to the rack. I did that three times. My goal is the ever elusive 1 plate on each side... 135lb. I hope this will help!

My sweet kitty, Blitz 🥰

What a gorgeous pic!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! Way to go Gus!!!

I think that some days just feel heavier than normal. Whether it's a result of less sleep, different fuel in our bodies, stress, or just regular life. Squats at 365 for that volume of reps is a heavy load on the CNS, and is very impressive. I am sure it's a blip. Way to drive through for that last set!

They have a cat cafe not too far from where I live... you can go and have tea / coffee with a friend and be surrounded by cats that are up for adoption. It seems like heaven to me. Maybe I need some self care too! I already have three though, so I cannot fall prey to their soft furriness or purrs of affection...

Hell Yeah, she's awesome! :)

Working on leaning out again so I can see the quad definition come back.

Tonight's session was good. Still had to force myself to go, but the lifts felt solid and I went up a bit on bench, deads and leg press.

Are LOLs and HAHAs allowed at the end of a sentence? do they still count as questions?

Who said my friends weren't bitter?

What do YOU think? 😏

You're a bada$$... you've got this!

Or is it because they figure we'll just put it in our purses? (who even likes carrying a purse around?)

Post breakup, I realize that I want a man who makes me feel like a ten, even if I'm only a 7... instead of one who makes me wonder if he even sees me as a 5. Sigh. It's going to take a lot of healing to get over this last attempt at dating.
