I'm in this same boat with DOMS. IT band is killing me. Foam roller is killing me BUT I know it's good. What's not killing me LIFTING! I'm living through foam roller, stretching three times a day and trying to warm up my body without doing cardio because I wanna be bada$$ and get to my body weight on squats! I just feel so…

Wow Vegas you have some amazing definition coming in. I'm just finishing up six weeks. After being inspired by you all. I took some before pictures yesterday. When I hit the twelve week mark I promise to post progress photos. Lifts were good today but I feel stuck at 100lbs on squats. I've done 100 three times now so going…

I agree we must make this happen at some point

My plan right now is to to complete two rounds of stronglifts. Then I'm going to start using a different tracking app to change up some of my lifts and use wendler 5-3-1 for the lifts i keep. I haven't looked into those yet. I want to change it up a little to keep challenging my muscles. The thing I don't want to do is…

Yes he was winking. Could it also be the knees caving in. I'm having that trouble now I hit 100. I feel like I'm really fighting to make sure my knees don't pronate inward as I'm coming up. Thanks for posting this now I realize everyone struggles at that one point on the way up. Also I realized watching this that maybe I'm…

This is the video I've been using for stretching. It's pretty extensive and the stretches are nice. Also I love how they show you "what not to do" http://youtu.be/41gzi6VNPgU

I have a longer one and it feels good to roll on it for upper back. Also really liking it for the hip flexors BUT oweee. A good oweee BUT. . . Yeah. Maybe watch a few YouTube videos with them before buying to see which exercises you will do.

This is exactly what I will be doing because I have no idea where to find that here.

I binged on dill pickle crackflower seeds yesterday too. I was so exhausted yesterday and I just ate what I wanted which was a lot of carbs. I feel better today and am back on track. Some days I just get tired and need a down day. I'm at home with my kids right now but when I used to work I rarely got sick but if I needed…

Where do you buy chalk? Maybe silly question but not sure where to look. I'm at 135 and my hands are noticing this too.

@ all the picture posters - love the progress pics so motivating to see. Also WTG you guys for finding SL and finding visible results that are noticeable in such a short timeframe. Foam roller has been purchased. Tightness is pretty bad after my last workout. I'm pushing the heavier numbers now. I'm having a lot of trouble…

There are also collage apps you can use. Type in collage. I used Aviary to put the text on my photos hopefully I can make them side y side later on.

Auddi that's amazing. I saw you get to eat 30 more calries for body fat %. Maybe I don't use the right calculator. How did you calculate? All I can say is you transformation is amazing! I can't wait to do my 3 month side by sides. Stronglifts is really recomping my body. Yesterday another pair of pants was falling down.…

Binge eating: I've been doing this since I hit puberty. Hiding bags of Oreos under the bed. I spent a good portion of the spending money I made on poor food choices. In university I would eat bags of candy to fall asleep at night. I guess addicted to sugar high/crash cycle? Who knows. I tried to ask my doctor about it when…

Whoo hoo Vegas!!! I haven't tried that particular position but now I think I should try. I've definately seen a difference in the quality of the big 'O'. Also increased desire too which means a happier hubby for Moi. Yipppee!!!!

Bump for later

First off great and entertaining conversations. I think I'm going to need to start taking notes or ill just end up creeping the feed when the conversations on fire. I just couldn't keep up. Had a great lifting day got to use the 45 plates on my deadlifts which made me feel super pumped. Also my trainer said I look like I'm…

Amazing results - wow Love to see the progression of your strong lifts numbers too. I can't wait to be a barbellarella in the Gym. Just completing month 1 now.

I too am interested. I had a sales and public relations background.

Hey all quick question. Is there a program to follow to get better at pull-ups. One of my god for several years has been to do unassisted pull-ups. Suggestions how to get there would be awesome. Maybe I still need to work on more core strength first?

I have the scosche arm band one. I like it because it has Bluetooth and connects to my iPhone. I use an app which tells me which zone I'm in. The app also posts directly to MFP which is a bonus when I complete the workout. The HRM can be finicky sometimes but there is a newer one out now called rhythm and I suppose they…

Have absolutely nothing to say other than I ❤ this thread! I enjoyed all the conversations guys. Whoo hoo for support groups and MFP friends!

Ummm hoping no one is offended by this but was researching weightlifting effects on sex life because I've noticed a big positive change in my "O". Came across this and thought you ladies might enjoy reading the thread.…

I found this doing a search. I noticed a positive improvement in the quality of my O.

Agree with Vegas BADAS$ numbers.

Barbell rows conundrum: Option A: Should I be trying to do this: http://youtu.be/EoppINuThrk OR Option B should I be trying to do this: http://youtu.be/rjd8QtRzKYI Option B doesn't seem friendly once getting to heavier loads. Option A is more complicated to get correct form. What does everyone here do. My trainer…

[/quote] I think the bar should be resting on your trapezius muscles. Not an expert on this as I'm pretty new. The trainer I am using one but she is pretty new to weightlifting and I think she isn't always sure about correct form either. Luckily 5 trainer sessions came free with my membership I won in a draw. I am still…

I love my juice! In the summer I grew my own greens garden just for juicing. I want to add to it more this year. Also I buy large quantities to save money. If bags of oranges are on sale I buy two. I don't buy organic oranges but anything that the peel goes through I try to buy organic. You will find what works for you.…

Check out the stronglifts for women group is the first big step and ask lots of questions. everyone is at different stages in that forum. At first I struggled being comfortable at the gym and feeling awkward and i might have quit without that group of women. Not even a month later I'm rocking it out. Big tip: try to focus…

Congrats Darwin!! Loved the vows too. Very original and the end part was great!!! Married life here you come. Enjoy the ride!
