I do want to be more glute focused because 1) that’s an area that I want to specialize more in general 2) having a strong back obviously helps with aiding in keeping the lower back strong, which I definitely need help with during pregnancy. I’ll have to look into his videos. Again, I know that starting anything vigorous is…

Normally after 28 weeks, it’s not recommended to be on your back 🤷🏼‍♀️ But being on your back becomes a lot more uncomfortable before then usually 😂 it’s almost at that point for me now. I’m really starting slow, like 2-3 exercises at most per workout since I haven’t worked out intensely in so long. But yeah, glute bridges…

Anyone use the Candito Squat Program? Thoughts? How did you apply accessory work for upper body?

I’m 5”2 and currently 138-139 but I’m also 20 weeks pregnant 😂 my pre-pregnancy weight was 126. After this baby, I want to get down to 113. My first goal was 119 after I had my first baby, but didn’t get there before getting pregnant again.... oh well 😅🤷🏼‍♀️

When I first started lifting 6 years ago I had no idea what I was doing which is why I did dumb stuff like foam rolling 😂 But thank you 👍🏻 :)

Thank you!!

Well I haven’t worked out in a while haha that’s why I was needing advice on how to warm-up 😅 it’s been about a year since I’ve done a consistent workout.

For lifting haha. And you’ve had no injuries just doing that?

Yeah I just did elliptical or treadmill for 5-10 mins 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve had multiple injuries, one that’s lasted 3 years now. My husband has lifted for 14 years and hasn’t had one injury and he doesn’t warm up either haha. So that’s why I feel like maybe I should change my approach 😂😅

After having a baby 7 months ago, I feel like I should try to get on the lower side of the 120s before I have another baby haha. But losing the last few lbs has been tricky..

For years, I was more focused on body composition vs. actual weight. I was into powerlifting and did a bodybuilding show so what I weighed was never top top priority (until I got close to the show day) because building muscle and being stronger was more important. But now it’s kind of a toss up, even though I feel like it…

Vegetables: asparagus or French cut green beans Nuts: cashews Seed: sesame Grain/Starch: rotini Flavor for sweets: caramel Chocolate: truffles of all sorts Condiments for dinner: any type of mustard and salt, lots of salt Topping for sweets: depends on the sweet, but if its something like ice cream, pretzels and cookie…

How do you do body recomp? It’s been so long I’m so clueless with this stuff 😅

My husband is the same way! He’s lifted for 14 years and has NEVER warmed up and has never experienced an injury. I on the other hand have done warmups and foam rolling and stretching and cardio and everything you can imagine and I’ve gotten more injuries than him 😅😣

With a 6 month old, I get through my warm up and that’s about it 😅 glad to know that it IS as over complex as I thought haha. Because I don’t feel like it needs to be that long... but I guess I have been reading misinformation. Thank you!

A back or chest day? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve been reading so many articles on how to warm up recently... It’s so overwhelming haha. But a lot saying that you need to foam roll and static stretch and then do some dynamic stretches and then some exercises that activate the muscles that you want to use.

It was on accident.

Hubby and I are trying for baby number two in November. I'll be 8 months postpartum at that point. I'm about 1 lb away from pre-pregnancy weight! I'm hoping to gain some level of fitness back and to be 9-10 lbs less for the beginning of my next pregnancy! Currently 129 lbs. Goal is 119-120!

Thank you!!

I started weighing daily about 2-3 weeks ago. Before, it was like 1 time a week.

Yeah my weight has gone up a bit the past week due to getting my period back... Yay postpartum periods 😅 so that was discouraging and I indulged a bit more than I should've :P I'm giving myself a longer period of time to lose the last 10 just so I don't get so hard on myself 😬

Did your pain worsen though? Mine has gone from worse to slowly feeling better. And it's feeling better because I'm working on building strength in my back and rotator cuff.

I've been to a physical therapist and a chiropractor. The physical therapist said it was a rotator cuff impingement and the chiropractor said it was a scapular impingement based on where I was feeling the irritation. It's not in pain at this point, but at least a couple times a week, its achy or feels irritated.

Almost 3 years ago, I was deadlifting and suddenly felt a pop in my shoulder and sharp intense pain. I've dealt with injuries before so I didn't think much of it. I rested it for a couple weeks then resumed training. For the following year, anytime I did too much overhead lifting, my shoulder would start burning and I'd…

Because my sister-in-law constantly talks about how she had six pack abs before she got pregnant and how all the guys were asking about her because she was so attractive. I've never been that girl. I never was shredded. Now I really want to see some abs before I get pregnant with my next baby. And I want to make my husband…

Wow! You look great 😁 I would classify myself as a beginner lifter at this point because I haven't lifted very consistently for almost 2 years. I am currently trying to lose weight, but don't know how much of a deficit I'm at compared to my maintenance because I haven't tracked calories for about 3 years now. I know you've…

Awe you're the sweetest thank you!! I hope that the milder version I'm doing works 🤷 there's so many different ways to do intermittent fasting. You can do it!! 😁 One day at a time!

I'm pretty weak at the moment haha. I had open heart surgery a little over a year ago which threw me off from working out (especially chest 😅)
