Can you open your diary and let us see? That's usually the easiest way to get some help.

don't forget about their shakes!

^^ this. Please don't judge me as a time waster. I'm doing my best ... just like you are. I do pay attention to see if anyone around me is looking to jump in and I'm totally willing to share the rack or bench. If I see you lurking but not willing to actually establish eye-contact or speak to me I'll go back to focusing on…

Deal - I'll join you...I made a spinach, chia seed, banana, peach smoothie with whey factors for breakfast. I've packed quinoa and roasted root veggies for lunch and I have Pilates class tonight before dance :glasses:

Yes to StrongLifts! Get the smart phone app and join the group :D YAY!!!

check your local Goodwill or second hand store. I found a set of 15 pounders for $3 and a pair of 5 poounders fo $5.

so you have an issue with eating meat but you have no issue with purchasing a genetically engenired animal?

Thank you!!

Today I did 5x5 squat @ 90 and 5x5 bench @ 55 and 5x4 rows @ 80. I found a quiet out of the way corner and did 15lb weighted step ups and 8 lb weighted inclined abs and grand battements (ballet thing for those of you who don't know: http://youtu.be/csQk558wKdM) during my rest period. While there were other dudes in the gym…

On the 23rd my trending weight was 148.5 and today it's 146.1 but what I'm really aming for is getting my fat mass down. On the 23rd my trending fat mass was 43.9 and today it's 43.0. My goal for this challenge is to have my fat mass down to 40 lbs.

What an inspiration you are to everyone lucky enough to know you.

MFP is set up such that you get the minimum calories you can safely consume. When peple are telling you that you shoud 'eat your calories back' they are right. If you are set for 1200/day that means on a sedentary day and when you work out you'll need to fuel your body. And you can only do that confidently when you have an…

I try not to focus on the fact that I'm not lifting heavy beacause I'm lifting heavy *for me* and that counts. And besides tonight I found itty bitty baby muscles :happy:
-
Thanks -- tonight was a "where is everyone" night in the gym so i was able to do stuff inbetween my sets and there was no failure tonight :glasses: It was squat/ohp/deadlift day though so we'll see what happens when I go back to bench.
-
It's just that I read so many "I hate this at the gym" and I don't want to be one of "those people" even by accident.
-
Is it rude for me to monopolize a bench for a while if I hop over and do sit ups during my rest?
-
Oh I know how helpful everyone is on bit forums. I didn't mean that as a dig against anyone in either forum.
-
what the heck am I supposed to do standing around for FIVE minutes?!?
-
Thanks for all the advice and support. I'm going to give this a go again in a couple of days. I lift every other day so today is cardio and resistance. Tomorrow will be an OHP/Squat/Deadlift day and then another cardio/resistance day and then Saturday I'll take another swing at Bench/Squat/Row. I'll make sure to eat well…

if you have a smart phone you can download an app called RockMyRun and/or FIT Radio.
-
how do i even ask them? I mean they are all tuned into their own music and doing their own thing. I'm not going to bother them, that'd just be rude, right?
-
Hmmmmm...I'm quite sure I don't wait the 'required' 3 minutes. I didn't think it would honestly make that much of a difference. I'll set a timer and actually wait next time. I almost never have a 'spotter' and the times I go to the gym it's either full of meatheads who look at me and see an old lady or it's vacated, thus…
-
Between this >> And this >> I'm going to pretend that it wasn't a 'fail' at all :ohwell:
-
:blushing: yes but you weren't the one with the "failure to get it up" in the gym. The Smith Machine was supposed to save me from this embarrassment :grumble: I'll get back at it tomorrow. I lift every other day -- today I'll do cardio and resistance and try again tomorrow.
-
Yes I'm a member of that forum but my post didn't yeild any responses. I'm a terrible judge of weight. I guess I know it weighs more than nothing. I'll ask again when I'm at the gym this morning. But I think I'll just drop back to 50 lb (olympic bar plus 5s on each side) and return to the bench until I can slowly add more…
-
I will make time every day this week for at least a 20 minute work out session even if that means it's walking the dog around the block. I will not allow myself to use my job or my family as an excuse.
-
I'm going to ignore everything I've read and choose to beleive you are right becuase this ^^ feels better than thinking I failed at 50! Thanks :drinker: I'll give it another go in a few days (StrongLifts) has me lifting every other day on an A/B cycle so i won't bench again for a while.
-
Thank you for your feedback. I googled Smith machine weight and everything I read said that it weighed next to nothing and not worth adding. So I figured 65+ they added assistance of the stability should be helpful. But it wasn't. In fact I went all the way down to 50 pounds. It was really disheartening. Yes we have a…
