I also have/had pain in my Right hip aka sacroilliac joint. I got this when i was pregnant with my last baby, also gave me anterior pelvic tilt which goes together normally ... grr kid, good thing your cute! Anyways.. I found that foam rolling my quads and hip flexors (thats right up there where your leg crease is when you…

I would say moderate and a 5-10% reduction. Ill give you my info and see if that helps you to figure it out, play with my stats in there and see where my number come up at. I am 36 yrs old, 5'7", 173 lbs. I lift 3 times a week, work 8 hours a week at most as a massage therapist and other wise i am a SAHM. I can eat at 2800…

check out http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ I came up with way more than the 1200. Your young and you have a lil one that you run after, you can eat more.

Scalenes are nasty muscles when they are aggravated. Takes awhile for them to release. And Courtney is right, LOTS of water. The planks could be aggravating it too, tight shoulder and tight neck go together all the time. Wish you guys were here so I could fix your problems! And for $10!!! They may not be experienced but…

Maybe have you feet turned out a little bit but bring your feet closer together. Do you have anterior pelvic tilt? That would cause you to have feet wider and turned out more. If you do have that work in your core and have you massage therapist work your psoas. It's a nasty muscle in your back but they have to go through…

Crabada what is your foot placement like? Feet to wide apart or turned out a bit to much? Try different foot placement. For accessories what are you wanting? More lower body or upper?

These stories make me glad I workout at home. If I forget to rerack, my toddler will point that everything is out of place. Haha

Just because your a stay at home mom doesn't mean you do nothing all day. I used both, scooby and iifym and I used a bodymedia fit. BMF said I burn on average of 2800 a day. I am a SAHM mostly, working 2 hours a day 4 days a week. Only lift 3 times a week. 5'6", 36 yrs old and I am maintaining at 173 for 3 mths eating the…

That's awesome!!! I did without first thing in the morning, fasted. I now do it usually 12:30 or so and strength is a lot better. Heavy triple day Squat 5@80,95,115,135. 3@155 PR 8@115 Bench 5@45,55,65,80 3@90, PR 8@80 Row 5@50,65,80,90 3@105 8@90 Feet/shoulder elevated 2x20 Goodmorning 90 3x8 Barbell curl 45x3x10 Bench…

For all of you that have tight hips i just saw this video for a stretch. I havent tried it yet, hubby is not in the house, i will have him help me with it later to see if it is any good for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mjBaLVlQWw Excuse the language, he has a potty mouth in all of his videos.

How wide are you feet? Do you have constant lower back pain? How tight are your calves? Roll your calves with a tennis ball, stretch them a lot. That is to help with standing on a plate I heard. I have to have my feet wider and I have anterior pelt tilt. My low back constantly hurts, abs and hamstrings are week (getting…

Everyone is doing so great!! Madcow DL day Squat 5@80,100,115,115 OHP 5@45,50,60 2@65 finishes with 10@ DL 5@110,130,155,175(body weight, woohoo) Hip thrust 160 10,9,10 High box squat 175 3x10 Side lying clam 2x30 each side Band pullups 2x5 Plank 1:00, :40, :45 Love eating at maintenance. ☺️

It's different for everyone. I didn't really experience it. But plenty of people do. My legs also feel warm after a session.

For your neck get a massage and try a chiropractor. A tight neck muscle can make headaches worse. I have been lifting since April, doing madcow and accessories now but I still get DOMS to some degree from almost all sessions. Ty taking magnesium, I read recently that it can help with stiffness, soreness, DOMS even menstral…

Wasn't really feeling it today but sure glad I pushed through it! Squat 5@75,95,110,130,150 and another 150 for fun. Bench. Ugh 5@45,55,65,75 2 sets of 1 at 90. Couldn't do it. Finished with 2&1@80. Row 5@50,65,75,90,105,105 and 8@90 for more fun. Lunge 15lbs each side 3x10 Feet elevated glute bridge 3x10 Banded pull-ups…

With those guns i would flex all the time too!! My hubby catches me flexing as well. HEHE But yours are way better! I agree! Early morning workout for me since i have a busy next 2 days and didn't want to mess up my week to much. Need pre-workout if i do that again. :s Or could be my monthly or maybe since i haven't been…

@chubby_checkers ewww!!!

I found these on a FB post http://www.t-nation.com/training/strengthen-your-strict-pull-up http://www.50pullups.com/

let me clarify some. When in a deficit and it's really heavy. I'm talking you NEED all 3-5 mins of rest for next set. When I would even slog in rest days I was wiped out yet. Everyone is different however. Do it till you can't anymore. If you eat to fuel your body, you will be able to do more but then you don't lose weight…

DL day. Squat 5@80,95,110,110 OHP 5@45,50,55 and 2@65 then 1@65 first time so I'm good with that DL 5@205,130,150,170 Hip thrust 150 3x8 Got a squat box and it was lower than my bench I've been using. Fail! Hubby had to come help me out :o so high box squat was 155 3x3 rough... Deload we 20lbs and 5 reps per set on just…

If your new to lifting it will be fine to do cardio but when your lifts start stalling you will have to decide which one you want more of.

Lay on a tennis ball in that area and see if it lets go. That is usually a spot for a lot of knots.

I cant say it enough. I LOVE LIFTING!! Madcow day 1 squat 5@70, 90, 110, 125, 145(PR) and for more fun 145 again. bench 5@ 45, 55, 65, 75, 85(PR) and then tried 85 again but only got 2 more. I watched a video yesterday that said to tuck your shoulders under more. So your more on the tops of the shoulder blades and i think…

Yes!! I saw a video of a lil kid doing a DL and had to look. http://m.toysrus.com/skava/static/product.html?type=TRU_product_us&url=%2Fproduct%2Findex.jsp%3FproductId%3D3520338&domain=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toysrus.com

Can't really help you without an activity level. You do SL and training for a 5k but how much are you training a week? Also are you active at home and work. I'll give you my stats so you understand. I'm 36 yr old, 5'6", mostly stay at home mom(so I'm active at home) and lift 3 times a week for about 75 mins a time. My TDEE…

How cute! Haha. Mine will just sit on it and roll on his butt. I think we are getting our lil guy a play weight set for Christmas. Or at least I want to get him one.

When I set up the number to do madcow on the website I used it listed barbell curl, tricep extension, bench dips, sit-ups and decline sit-up as accessories.

Awesome job spirit095!! Can't wait till I'm pulling your numbers llamapants86! Squat 5@70,90,110,125 3@145(PR) 10@105 Bench 5@45,55,65,75 3@85 10@75 Row 5@50,65,75,90 3@100 8@90 Goblet squat 35 3x8 Good morning 75 3x10 Barbell curl 45 3x6 Bench dip 1x8 Weighted Bench dip 10 2x8 Dumbbell 2 arm tricep 20 3x6 Seated band…

SJKirk51912 I would say quads are taking to much of the load also. If your glutes and hamstring are weak or dormant the quads will do that. Do some stretching and rolling of the quads and do some leg lifts or glute bridges(say 3x20 reps each day) to get the posterior chain taking the load. I had that issue and now i feel…

^^ exactly, give it time and see how your body likes it. If the scale goes up then back off a bit but i think alot of people especially starting a weight loss plan drop them to much. Food is fuel. If you want to lift heavy you need to feed it.
