Hi jordyn, im quite new to lifting - week 3 on stronglifts 5x5 but love it too!!!
-
Thanks everyone. Im going to follow everyones advice and just stick at it and check progress in about 12 weeks. I will eat at a small deficit though i think, until my lifts stall.
-
Surely eating so low calories cant be good for you?
-
Thank you! Great thread, i actually lift three times a week at the moment so hoping to see some change over the coming months
-
Ha!!
-
Calipers are the only viable option for me i think. As you can see from my profile i have quite a bit around my stomach (joys of having four kids!) But i would be interested to know a ballpark figure so i can work on bringing it down.
-
Just imagining my husbands face if he walked in and i was 'ohp' the kids ha ha! Going to switch things up from next week and see how i get on. Thanks for the advice !

Do you think then i should stop all the machines ie. Leg curl, extension, lat pull down and just concentrate on compound lifts and free weights? My youngest child is 19months and im trying to reduce bf especially in the stomach area
-
Can you really get results with so few lifts?
-
Sorry thats what i meant!
-
I go to my local gym, and i have four kids and a husband to juggle so three times a week is the best i can get!!
-
Im actually eating at maintenance 1800. I was eating 1400 but i was too hungry all the time. Im hoping to recomp over the next couple months
-
Thanks!

Thanks! No lifting experience really. Ive been doing circuit classes for the last 8 months and i really liked the weights element so decided to do weights on their own and i love it!!! My ultimate goal is to do 5-10 pull ups
-
I train on my own so have been afraid to try an overhead press. In regards to progressive overload, i started squats at 30kg and have gone up to 60kg. I started deadlift 40kg and have gone up 70 kg. Got 1 rep at 80kg. My main goal is to get stronger, lower my bf and look good! Just want to make sure im doing everything…

Dumbell rows 35kg each hand Dumbell bench press 2x25 kg

Good to know im not the only one!!. Ive decided to eat at maintenance for a while and recomp. Im going to lift three times a week and try and do one circuit class. Im also going to stop weighing myself for a while and re-evaluate in a couple of months. (Dropped a pound last week so 127 now). Honestly weighing every week…
-
You look amazing...kudos!
-
I was thinking that alright. I think about 1800 should be enoughcto maintain and see how that goes
-
Totally right, that will be my focus from now i think
-
Thank you everyone . I think im going to lower my intake and activity level. (Although running around after 4 kids all day id say im fairly active
-
Ive been doing the same exercise for about 2 months now and im very careful about what i eat so im not sure. Im about 4 lbs away from my target
-
I weigh every week, so im up a lb from last week. I know its not a lot but its annoying all the same
-
How many calories a day do you eat?
