I'm looking for friends too. Unschooling mama of two boys.

A woman bodybuilder and I just recently had a long chat and she suggested that for OHP I should be using a pyramid. I'm not sure but I'm thinking I might see progress doing this. She admitted she is old school and said she would start at 50 until failure then go to 45 and go until failure. I started the whole conversation…

^^^ this was my immediate thought too but a woman bodybuilder at my gym just gave me the same advice. I guess on the the way up I am using my back abit to get the weight up. The lady at my gym suggested that I was compensating form because I was lifting too heavy and I'm currently at a deloaded weight. :noway:

I'm kind of wobbling for this reason.the town I am moving to also has a gym owned by a well known fitness model. The crossfit gym is 150 for 3x a week and 199 for unlimited access. The gym is 70/month and I guess I would have money left over to get training and focus on powerlifting. I talked To a seasoned trainer today…

Awesome. . .thanks for the heads up. . .looking forward to part 2.

I've lost 4 inches from my hips and only .5 inches from my waist. . .I'm doing progress pictures at the end of this month. I will have completed 12 weeks. I strongly suggest reading this http://www.girlsgonestrong.com/dont-be-a-sucker-5-ways-to-measure-progress-without-the-scale/ I made a lot of mistakes with my first set…

I'm totally going to do this!!! Once I got up to 70lbs I started to worry about being able to do the roll of shame. I have done it before but once the bar gets heavy it gets tough to do. . . .Great tip!!

I started off incorporating cardio but as my lifts got heavier I found it more difficult to stick in cardio. I've just deloaded to work up to where I was. . .I was stalling and losing form. So this week I've been doing more cardio than before.

AMAAAZZZING Results great job on that.

I love the juice builder at http://myphytos.com/build You just enter in your ingredients and it calculates a 1 cup serving. . .it has almost every ingredient. . .couldn't find mint but makes it super easy.

I just watched a similar video and when I focus on my form it will be a lot on bar position and my grip. The squat itself seems to be fine but until I watched that video and compared it to mine I didn't realize what a mess I was on the upper part. I'll be happy to work on that deload to fine tune my form. I just started to…

It was a tough to post this video because I am naturally a loud exerciser. The few times I fell on my butt I was distracted and not focussing enough on the squat. Usually I tighten my abs and steady myself before going down but sometimes I fail that preparation. Those lifts felt really good that day and I have had weaker…

Thats awesome. . .I love the results I;ve been getting do this too. . .Congratulations!!!

Just an update: I was fine with the stronglifts program working with insanity for about 3 weeks. Once the weight got heavy I dropped out of insanity. I was exhausted and run down. Since stopping insanity I've lost more weight and more inches so the gamble paid off. At the moment I'm doing almost no cardio but I plan to try…

I just do the sun salutation sequence like 5 times. This is the sequence I do in the steam room. its super easy and feels great after lifting. Photo at link below. Video at YouTube second link down. http://benefitsofyoganow.com/sivananda.html If you look at the above website it explains the different types of yoga. Check…

Sounds like hip flexors. I have that on and off. If you have time to do some skipping or running to warm up you muscles I highly recommend a good short stretch of muscles. Also doing at least 10 minutes of stretches afterward makes a big difference. I had a couple of weeks where I was foam rolling twice a day PLUS yoga. I…

THIS WAS ME! My first week. A gym full of meatheads and me the only girl. I felt so silly the first 6 workouts and now I rock out my SL workouts. It took me a while to figure out the bars and I still make mistakes. The PT at my gym said there were no Olympic bars but the other day I failed my squats because there was a…

I only do Stronglifts 3 times a week. So if I've got bad DOMS I take the extra day but even if I haven't recovered by my lifting day I do it anyway. I also find stretching in a steam room or after a hot bath has been super helpful. Also since starting SL I've gone through 3 big bags of Epsom salts. Drinking ****loads of…

This. Lifting heavy gets great results. I highly recommend stronglifts 5x5 Mehdi. Easy to do. Simple to Learn. You can teach yourself by watching Mehdi videos and watching extra form videos on YouTube. Also there is an awesome Stronglifts for women support group on here.

Look into stronglifts 5x5 Mehdi. Easy to follow. Simple to learn. Results guaranteed.

Finally some relief today. Not as tight. Ill just keep trying to build in stuff that helps stretch out the muscles.

I love nutritional yeast adds protein and can be added to popcorn and used on top of pasta love it! I also love cottage cheese, proteins powder, natural meats, egg whites, tuna ( I buy fresh raw and eat with Braggs soy sauce), salmon, and oysters.
