Soo tired lifting day. Almost bailed...twice but I made it. 5x5 squats 140 5x5 OH 60 1x5 DL 175. Was supposed to be 185 but after one attempt when the weight didn't budge I decided it was time to go home.

Today's workout. 1.5mi run for WU 5x5 squats 140 53552 BP 75 - decided to push myself on bench since I had my friend spotting me. 5x5 row 85 0.5mi run for CL

Sorry to hear that @amyinthetardis, hope you feel better soon. Good luck with the OCR @krokador Yesterday's workout: 1.5mi run for WU 5x5 squats 135 55554 OH 60 1x5 DL 180

Logging yesterday's workout: 5x5 Squats 135 - my PR from last year. Still a little tough and struggling with depth 5x5 bench 70 - also PR from last year. First time I completed the 5x5 though. :) 5x5 row 80 - not bad at all. Will stay at these weights for squats and bench next week. I've also still ramping up my running…

Today's workout 5x5 squats 130 - surprisingly not terrible. May be feeling up for the 45 plates later this week. I think 135 is my PR for squats which I set in the spring. OH 60 - heavy but doable. DL 175 - finally hit my PR for DL from the spring!! Hope to surpass it soon :) Finally glad to be back where I started!! Ready…

So I'm back after a weeklong hiatus. Last week I had some intermittent muscle spasms in my lower back and shoulder that were pretty painful and I didn't want to squat or DL on them so I started running again instead, about 10 miles over 3 runs last week a pretty slow and smooth start. Restarted on Tuesday for my last…

Talk to your doctor for sure. However, I think the general rule of thumb is weight training with maximum 15lb dumbbells during pregnancy, if you get their OK. They will likely advise you to stay away from the barbell.

So here is to the weekday grinds. Was so close to wrapping up my bench workout but no cigar. Did not adjust the safety bars so had to roll of shame out of there. I have also been feeling some pain at my shoulders where the bar rests against them. Am I setting them too low? 5x5 squats 125 55553 bench 70 5x5 row 80

StrongLifts day! 5x5 squats 125 (WU: 1x5 45, 65, 95, 115) 5x5 OH 55 1x5 DL 155 (WU: 1x5 95, 115, 135) So, my friend took a video and said I was rocking forward on my squats on the last few reps. Plus it feels like the weights are getting pretty heavy so I'm going to start going up 5lbs every other day or every week…

Whoops, feeling the fatigue on the squats today. I think it's the lack of sleep getting to me. 5x5 squats 120 (WU: 1x5 45, 65, 95, 105) 5x5 bench 65 (WU: 1x5 45) 5x5 row 75 (WU: 1x5 65)

2018 Goals: 1. Lift 2-3x a week until April at least. - Get 135lb squat in February and 160lb squat in April - Nail 200lb deadlift in April. - Try not to completely suck at upper body in the meantime. - Try to do at least 20min of cardio 3x a week in April. 2. Go rock climbing 2x a week from April-October. -Work up to 2-5…

Hoping to see my minigoal of getting back up to 135 squats in the next few weeks! Sunday Squats 5x5 110 Bench 5x5 55 Row 5x5 70 Today Squats 5x5 115 OH 55445 55 DL 1x5 95, 115, 135, 145

First week really back in the swing of things. Didn't have a gym (or motivation over the 2 or 3 weeks of Christmas break so I de loaded a bit. Sunday Squats 5x5 95 Bench 5x5 50 Row 5x5 65 Today Squats 5x5 100 OH 5x5 50 DL 1x5 95, 115, 135

Trying to end the new year right. My goal is to hit 115 in squats by the beginning of next week. 5x5 squats 100 5x5 BP 55 5x5 rows 75. I've always found pulling exercises better than pushing.

Hi all! I had all in all a typical workout today. Trying to get to big 45s on my squats before the holiday break and deloads. Squats 1x5 45, 1x5 70, 5x5 95. OH 55554 55 DL 1x5 95, 1x5 115, 1x5 140 Followed by 20min on the stairmaster.

Logging my workout from 12/1 finally. Trying to get back into a consistent SL regime just in time for the disruptive holidays. Squats 1x5 45, 1x5 65, 5x5 85 OH 5x5 50 DL 1x5 95, 1x5 115, 1x5 135 3 chin-ups.

Hi everyone! Long time no see. I took quite a long break from SL to focus on rock climbing for a few months while it was in season which has paid off to its own extent. I went to the gym this morning to restart SL. Squats 70lbs 5x5 (1x5 45) OH 45lbs 5x5 - feels much easier than when I started SL and couldn't OH the bar. DL…

Hi all! After my hip joint was taking a beating from the squats I've been backing away from SL to work on climbing. I'm still focusing on bodyweight (or reduced bodyweight) exercises. Yesterday I did 6 pull-up assists at 70lbs followed by 4 at 82 lbs. I'm also upping my cardio and reducing my carbs to shed fat.

Count me in for 100mi in May!! Can't wait!

Super excited to meet my goal for this month. Can't wait for the next one!

Sure, DOMS like any other healing process can cause swelling which causes water retention. However, usually the effect is small and probably wouldn't lead to more than a lb or 2 in fluctuation (esp since you sweat out water during exercise). I would also look into other causes such as dehydration, increased sodium intake.…

Glute activation is a huge problem! My PT had me doing clamshells when I had really bad runners knee. I took a few days off SL and did 1.5h of climbing on Tuesday and another 1h on Thursday. My forearms feel much better now. Will try to do light squats and upper body to round out my SL week 8 tomorrow!

Taking a squat break. 5x5 OH 50 1x5 DL 175 (1x5 95, 115, 135, 1x3 155) Also did a 1h spin class.

@jen_092 I also agree with the slow and steady approach. I may take a week off SL because of the slight hip tendinitis and back pain I was experiencing last week. My glutes are one of my weaker muscle groups often leaving my quads and hip flexors to do the work at the expense of my knees and hips. Going to try to get back…

I am pretty sore from squatting yesterday, mostly in my lower back which is a bit concerning but I am 95% sure it's in my back muscles and not the spine. Went to a 1h yoga class this afternoon to stretch out and discovered I need to go back to yoga because all this strength training + running has been making my muscles…

Was not really feeling like going to the gym today then had to rush my workout so I could make an appointment. Arms feeling pretty hammered. 0.6mi warmup and cooldown. 5x5 squats 135. 5x5 row 85 54534 BP 70. Should start sucking up my pride and asking someone to spot me in the future.
