Impressive numbers!!! 71.5 FSPP... :noway: Excellent job!
-
Yay!!! I made it to the gym last night. So A3 done... could only manage 2 sets of 60 sec planks... my shoulder was bothering me. Same weight on FSPP for same reason. Husband said form on push-ups was good... so again shoulder is what is preventing me from going lower. Other than that... happy to have that done. Rest…

me..... I had an appt yesterday at 2p. I got there at 1:40... got called to the back at 3:03.... waited for doctor for about 5 minutes... she did her thing and I was out at 3:13p.... WTF?? Needless to say I am NEVER going back to see her (unless my PCP insist on it again).... stupid 2nd opinion.

I'm in a rut! I did not go to the gym at all over the weekend. I was going to go last night - but life happened and I just didn't want to go.... so I will go to the gym tonight... for A3! On top of all that, my diet is in the pits... I feel my flabs again when I sit.... seriously! Out of commission for two weeks and the…

Way to go!!! That is impressive.... I like your Jedi mind trick :laugh: I did B2 on Wednesday (minus HIIT) with 3 sets. BTW, my last post was wrong... I did B1 with 2 sets. Still nursing my shoulder and lower back which are both super sore today. I had a deep tissue massage again last night. It's incredible how tight my…

Don't have pics either... but I went from a size 12 to a size 8... also in Stage 4 (started in April). My weight is pretty much unchanged.

MsT: Great numbers... I'm in awe! I hope your back feels better soon. I may have done the same thing, but not as severe (also from the deadlift... feels like it is over stretched.... it hurts to bend now and also when I sneeze. :ohwell: I did B2 (2 sets) and A1 (3 sets) over the weekend. I'm nursing a bruised a shoulder so…

LOL... I can assure you I didn't look or feel like one....

Not so sure about the interview.... from what I hear, they are at the final phase and they picked two candidates for the final round and we have completely different backgrounds... so hard to tell which way they will go. I managed to eek out 2 sets each of Workout A last night. I couldn't stop yawning---even the warm-up on…

Great start, Karen! I'm hoping to start today. I had a last minute job interview last night and that just threw everything off. I can't wait for the Olympics to end... it's messing with my sleep! Good idea on splitting the FSPP... I actually hurt my shoulder with that move during Stage 2... it set me back 3 weeks!

Had deep muscle tissue massage Friday evening.... I am still sore today. Apparently I was super tight... which I suspected, but not THAT tight. He really did a number on my neck, which (according to him) was the source of my soreness and tightness in my upper back and shoulders. He spent most of my session just in my neck…

Hi there.. I think during Stage 1, it's okay to do the cardio since the workout is short.... 30-35 minutes. So I was tacking on 20 min cardio just so I felt productive in the gym. A word of caution--- if your goal is to lose weight (a specific number on the scale), this program will most likely disappoint you. There is a…

jnh: Same thing happen to me last week... 4 lb gain from my last weigh in at th gym (three weeks prior to that). Needless to say my final weigh in for the 90 day challenge was a confidence-shattering experience - gained 1/2 of what I loss at the start.
-
Warm up --- I do 5 min on a machine... treadmill or elliptical. the book also has stretches you can do. For the order... see this thread (which right now is one below this one :) Good luck "Stage 1 - New and confused, even at this early stage! Please "
-
JNH: No, not that section... I go to the one in Pearland (288/518). I think you are in Houston. It's the section that has the natural peanut/almond machine, where you can get organic flour and such. The Atkins bars are usually by the vitamins at this HEB.

OK.. end of S3.stats A: 1-arm DB snatch: 15 > 25 (left side needs to catch up with right.. 25 got easier for the right, but really struggled with my left) DB single leg DL: 30 (2x15) > 50 (2x25) BB bent-over row: 45 > 70 DB OH squat: 6/30 (10/20) > 6/45 (15/30) DB incline BP: 6/40 (2x20) > 6/50 (2x25) Plank 90 > 90 RV Wood…

Your concern is one that most of us encountered at one point... it will get better as you progress. You will get a better feel for your workout and what works best. It's one of those things that you just have to throw yourself into it.... just focus on you and your workout. Bring a clipboard, water, towel and look like you…

I'm down this morning. I weighed in today for the end of a 90 day challenge at the gym... overall, I lost 0.8% BF, but I had lost 1.6% at the midpoint mark... to gain half of it back is just soooo disappointing. Oh well.... water under the bridge... I have B4 tomorrow. Week of rest... then onward!

I found Think Thin at my local HEB (Health/Organic section).
-
bump!
-
I like Think Thin - 20g of protein per bar 0g sugar, Gluten Free My kids like them too... I have to hide them because they are not cheap!

Joanne - Welcome to Stage 3! I feel you on the OH squat and the BWMs... the OH squats will get better. My elbows kept bending everytime I went down to squat. I finished my last A workout last night and it's like muscle memory and it was fine. The BWMs... all I can say is take all your rest time. I usually walk around (get…
-
Finished A4 last night.... I am absolutely wiped out this morning.... I may have to delay B4 until Saturday due to scheduling issues... oh well... but I'll be with the Aug 6th Stage 4 start group :smile: Congrats on finishing Stage 3, KM.... not looking forward to my last set of YTWLs. Karen...100 lbs!!! Beast!!!! WTG!!!…

Great NSV! Your doctor is much nicer than mine. At my annual last year, he said I needed to lose weight ("at least 15 lbs...Here's a dietician you can contact.... you can do it in 3 months. See you then.") :grumble: I haven't seen him since... but will go in September. :bigsmile:
-
Great finish, Charlene... I finished A3 and B3 over the weekend. B3 yesterday morning. Had a hard time with the bent over rows and deadlifts... my forearms are sore from Bootcamp (flipping tires and such)... my grip just wasn't right. Had to lower weights for the lat pulldowns too. Oh well... I'm going to attempt A4…
