btw its almost like flies on crap when a girl hits the squat rack. its annoying but the guys usually watch :/
-
never let anyone in the gym make you feel uncomfortable. just squat and ignore the world :)
-
thats why i love 5x5 training. every week or two you can add a tiny bit more. a year ago i was just doing squats with a bar. :) slowly but surely we all move up. now i'm at 135 squats. same with bench. i started with 10lb dumb bells.
-
currently at 135 :) i weigh 107 getting up to 45lb plates has been such a big thing for me, never thought id get to this place :)
-
this was me last night. did bench press with just 10lb on each side. made me feel wimpy for a moment then i realized i squat more than most men in my gym so i carried on and didnt give 2 craps :)

don't allow yourself to ever get so hungry you want to eat a limb. that will surely throw you into a binge. this is why i eat so often throughout the day. around every 2 hours.

lighter lifting day with mostly plyo work and body work exercises. i do that in between my heavy leg and heavy upper body days to break it up
-
as stated its mostly the diet and eating in a deficit but also adding in some training too.
-
i would wait a month or two. a lot of amazing ones were announced at CES this year that have amazing features!

so many things you can do but the biggest one is to get up every hour and move around. sitting for long periods of time is now being considered the same as going out for a smoke break. make it a point to take all calls standing up, walk around, you can also do : wall sits alternating lunges tricep dips in your office chair…

i personally go heavy and do 5 reps for 4-5 sets. currently deadlifting 135 and working my way up
-
this is obviously not for squats with weight it seems. the best way to do squats is flat foot, just saying

I was a vegetarian for five years. after becoming anemic i went back to white meats and fish. I have debated going back as I personally am becoming more aware of what is being put into the animals and overall not a big fan of meat eating. I have contemplated going back to just eggs and dairy and fish and removing poultry.…

Good post. there is no medical evidence that our body needs cleansing. i admit 5 years ago i did the master cleanse for 10 days and i would never do it again. it was more of challenge than for weight loss and after day 3 it was easy but then you get all of these weird side effects (tongue turns color, breath smells, you…

give him a book called the new rules of lifting for women. seriously a few things wrong with this thread 1. if my s/o, fiancé or husband told me not to do something to my body i'd tell him to go scratch 2. lifting weights doesn't make you bulky, having fat over muscle makes you bulky 3. women can't get that big and getting…

one thing i wont give up. i have a glass every few days with dinner. always red though never white

its not the calories that are the problem the sodium is awfully high and its a ton of processed food
-
now i want pizza
-
depends on what you are doing in the gym. if i lift heavy i am doing 2 days then rest, 2 days then rest.
-
If you are lifting HEAVY you shouldnt be able to do 10 reps of anything. you should drop to lower reps and 3-5 sets but not 4 sets of 10.
-
i cant imagine lifting heavy on 1200 is easy or good to gain muscle, i could be wrong.

I have recently moved to IIFYM and have been very happy with it, it helps me know by mid day what i should be making for dinner, what I can have and has me yes still focusing on calories but more on what food i am eatin. for example i hit my protein # by mid afternoon yesterday! so i kenw right away a nice big bowl of…
-
agree, looking good just go a bit lower. also focus on breathing, big breath in before going down
-
you kind of said it yourself, don't do the same thing everyday. not only will you get bored, your body wont be challenged and then you will get bored. make working out fun and that's easy to do when you lift weights. cardio is boring theres no way around that. so focus on weights and do things to challenge you. this way…
-
wait and see who doesn't come back to do legs for a week that's how you know who overextended and pulled their lower bar. there is a fine line between locking out and over extending and as you lift heavier over doing it even a bit will cause discomfort. form is key
-
if you are doing 5x5 the right way, you wont be able to work out 5x a week. i can do two days then i need a rest day. if you are lifting heavy you wont need to be in there every day. that's the goal.
-
I actually sold mine on ebay. it worked great for 2 months, then it would not hold a HR for the entire work out. it would get so annoying id be in the middle of a set and see it was at 00. i bought a new strap, i bought new batteries, i cleaned it and tried everything. it was a huge disappointed. i guess for me anything…
-
use a polar watch to monitor for a week's work of lifting days. come up with your average. not going to be perfect but better than not logging at all. i sweat my *kitten* off doing cardio. i do super sets and little rest for 45 minutes so def burning calories there

HEAVY FTW !!! :)
