What’s wrong with her squat?
-
Low bar squats and deadlifts will get you pretty far.
-
Came for the fork put downs and table push-a-ways.
-
Making friends with some functioning stoners could be an option.
-
What do you get with this jump rope set?
-
Rack, Olympic barbell, weight plates, and bench. You’ll have everything you need for the rest of your life.
-
The real question is: Are you worth it?
-
StrongLifts recommendation is to progress from 5 sets x 5 reps, to 3 sets x 5 reps, then to 3 sets x 3 reps.

Truth.

Great! Now just keep adding reps over the next weeks/months. It doesn't have to be systematic, but it could (add as many reps as you can vs. adding a set number of reps each session). The goal is to just do more reps than last time. Then eventually you can change the exercise to a more challenging movement (wall push-up to…

For example (off the top of my head): Day 1: Triceps (dumbbell kickbacks or cable push-downs) 2-3 sets x 8-10 reps, 2 minute rest Day 2: Lats (seated cable rows or kneel on bench dumbbell row) 2-3 sets x 8-10 reps, 2 minute rest Day 3: Hamstrings (single leg Romanian deadlifts) 2-3 sets x 8-10 reps, 2 minute rest This is a…

I mean, you could probably get 1-2 sets of something in 10 mins. Then do one each day and that would be kinda okay. Triceps kickbacks one day, dumbbell rows the next, and dumbbell single leg Romanian deadlifts the last day.
-
Do more than last time.

Yeah, I hate it when I see people squat in the curl rack.
-
The StrongLifts app has settings that allow you to switch the rep scheme to 3x5, so there’s that. But I would recommend Starting Strength as well do to reasons posted above.

I’ve been squatting and deadlifting for over 3 years and my *kitten* is huge!

Strength train before cardio.
-
Keep the bar parallel with the floor when you lift and you'll be fine.

You really HIIT the nail on the head!

Sure, walking will be fine. Working a muscle lightly (after any serious pain has died down) is the better way to get it healed.

I got you. Listen to this podcast. This guy has stage 4 kidney cancer for over 2 years I think and has been strength training through chemo as best he can. He’s been able to maintain his body weight and strength levels throughout the process.…
