Ouchhhhh! hope you're ok!

Ah! Thank you! I hadn't realised I shouldn't be using clamps! Just as well I didnt yesterday! Do you use clamps on the others? I always put them on all of my lifts, am I doing it wrong? It makes sense to not use them, but I thought it may unbalance the bar if a plate moves.... Yes my rack has 3 hooks, I aim for the middle,…

What a rubbish day..... First proper fail ...Bench press at 32.5kg :( There were no clips free so did the press without them, managed 3 sets of 32.5kg but my arms gave way when i was putting it back on the spotter catchers on 4th set, the bar tipped, weights fell off from one end, clanked on the floor, bar squished my…

I'm 5'6 and 88kg and I burn around 250-350 depending if I 'up' my weights and remember to 'squeeze' lol :)

Brilliant! thanks for the advice guys x

bodyweight squatting in living room over here now :) I want glutes!! glutes, glutes, glutes, big round juicy glutes!! My quads are big enough, I think I'm going to have to stop body pump lol!

Thank you! (for this and all the other questions you've helped me with over the last few weeks) I thought it was normal, but just wanted some reassurance :)

Happy July everyone! Summer's here :)) Starting July with: Squat 35kg (77#) - don't seem to be going as low so staying on same weight for 2/3 sessions at a time OHP: 25kg (55#) Deadliift: 50kg (110#) BP:30kg (66#) Row: 30kg (66#) I've also put on 4lb on in weight and it's not budging!! (no inches lost either - and a 1/2"…

I do my SL squats with toes out, but Body Pump squats we're told to keep them facing forward??

I've only twice been intimidated in the free weights area. 1). The first day in there alone without the p/t was pretty scary, but that was more to do with remembering what to do....and 2) The time another woman came in looking all sexy and hot (i was super jealous)...but then she proceeded to do a few curls on a bench,…

Hear Hear! Thank you :)

That sounds perfect! didn't know they did that...thanks :)

At first I thought it may have been something in my blender, but then when it happened with a different brand I guess it may be an ingredient...both times have been the chocolate one Have you tasted a sweet/candy called toxic waste? really really unbearably sour....tastes like that....I guess its from not mixng it too…

Who said I rely on protein shakes? I do stronglifts 5 x 5 and occasionally have a protein shake if I'm in a hurry, or for a snack Why am I even answering you? I'd rather waste my money on shakes than my time explaining my reasons to you

I'm 43 too! Love new friends :)

Sounds like ths was made for me!! 1st July/ Day 1 Binge monster = 1 Me = 0 :( Can I start tomorrow? ;)

You can find Level 1 on You Tube...it's the same routine for 10 days :)

I can see where the OP('s friend) is coming from...I'm not saying I wouldn't be attracted to someone who may be fat, but I wouldnt want to date them as I may slip back into my old ways, going out for meals, eating rubbish etc...same as I wouldnt date a smoker, not because I dont like it but the fact I'd probably start…

hmmmmm

Me me me, I'll do it, she's been sitting here in the cellophane wrapper glaring at me for weeks Got me tins of beans ready.....i lent my little weights to my friend :/

health inspector/environmental health officer.....on mfp on my phone most of the day, then laptop by night... I try to not let my job interfere with MFP :)

LOL! My message would be: "Hello, hope you don't mind me requesting your frendship. I have been searching the lists of MFP member names for someone who's name begins with Q to complete my alphabetical list of friends" Does that sound too formal and creepy hahaha?

Yay! thanks guys....I got A, W and Z, happy happy happy!....now where's that elusive Q! :)

Tell me about it! Same 2lbs going on and off for AGES!! I've upped cals, dropped cals, ate exercise cals, not eaten exercise cals....and no inches off here either even though I'm doing SL..although I think my thighs are getting bigger! Love to hear the responses :)

I know where you are coming from....In the mirror I know I look ok, Ive done well losing 46lbs and strength training has toned me up, and people comment positively on my weight loss....but I see photos of myself and just want to cry, as if all my hard work was for nothing, and I still look HUGE! Maybe its because in a…

Body Pump today - on the Stronglifts 5x5 Mon, Wed, Fri. Stalled on weight loss recently (after ganing 4lb starting SL...will be interested to see if anyone gains/stalls/loses (on a deficit)

Me Me Me...I like to pick things up and put them down :)

Oooooh its getting harder..... 30kg squats - feel like I'm not going as low so will keep same weight next time 25kg OHP - That was HARD!! 40kg deadlift - the only one that's still easy I'm the wimp of this group lol ;)
