Great work ladies! @krok and jstout, 6MPH is my average running pace as well, I must be crazy too! @neon, way to get back into it, those numbers look great! @randomtai, awesome PR!! I was supposed to have a rest day last night, but I feel like my cardio has been lacking, so I did a 5km run. I finished 5.06 km in 31…

Ok here's mine, this is after a 5km run last night :) ETA: Won't resize for me, you get to see my tummy in all it's glory!

Almost time!

That's awesome, you're really showing some definition there!

Krok, I've said it before, you are a MACHINE!! Great work ladies, there are so many great things happening in this thread! I missed doing squats on the weekend, so I did them last night instead, my 5 week of 5/3/1 Warmup Sets: 5 x 80 pounds 5 x 95 pounds 3 x 115 pounds Working Sets: 5 x 125 pounds 5 x 145 pounds 5 x 165…

I'm mostly single (not a lady though) and I did online dating for a while, so I could see in the profiles if they had any/all of those things so I didn't have to ask typically. The job would be a deal-breaker for me, because I've had situations in the past where I ended up supporting both myself and my ex, and it wasn't a…

Great work ladies!! @fisher, thanks! I will update and have a major celebration in the gym as soon as I officially get that chinup! @red OHP is a huge pain in my *kitten*, it's my least favorite lift! It does come though, just slowly :) I did bench press at lunch today, my 5 week of 5/3/1. Warmup Sets: 5 x 45 pounds 5 x 55…

Awesome progress ladies! I'm back after a week's vacation in lovely Vancouver B.C., where I packed up my friend and moved her back home to be my new roommate. I still managed to find a gym and do some squats and accessory stuff one morning, and I got a few runs in, as well as loading and unloading her stuff. The guy I was…

I restarted lifting in September after a shoulder injury, and my working weights are below. Weight: 150 pounds Deadlift: 5 x 195 pounds Squat: 1 x 180 pounds Bench: 1 x 100 pounds OHP: 1 x 75 pounds ETA: My goals for this year are to be able to squat and deadlift 2x my body weight, to bench my body weight, and to get over…

Good morning ladies, and great workouts since yesterday! The dancing/twerking one is my favorite :bigsmile: I did deadlifts last night, my hardest week on 5/3/1 Warmup Sets: 5 x 80 pounds 5 x 105 pounds 3 x 125 pounds Working Sets: 5 x 155 pounds 3 x 175 pounds 1 x 195 pounds-I got 5 reps here, yay! Assistance Work: Front…

@Neonbeige, it took me 6 weeks for my weight to start leveling out, before that, I was spiking all over the place! I would go from 153 to 156 to 159 then down to 151 then back to 155 etc. over a 4 week period, and my pictures didn't show much of a difference either. I was driving myself crazy, so I just ignored the scale…

The Strassburg Sock helped me immensely, and you'll probably be able to find it at a local running store. http://thesock.com/

My current favorite song for doing squats is Flo Rida and Pitbull, I Can't Believe It

Agreed, that's some fantastic progress!

That's awesome! Maybe there's a "carrying small child" exercise you could sub in? How about this one? Walking, carrying infant or 15-lb load

Anna, I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty :( It's so hard to lose a pet. Great workouts over the weekend ladies! I did deadlifts on Friday, my 3 week. Warmup Sets: 5 x 80 pounds 5 x 105 pounds 3 x 125 pounds Working Sets: 3 x 145 pounds 3 x 165 pounds 3 x 185 pounds-I got 5 on this set. Assistance Work: Front Squats-3 x…

Thanks! It's small changes right now, but I'm decently happy with my progress. If I keep up going at this rate, I should actually be ready to wear a two piece bathing suit out in public by the time it gets warm enough here (June-July).

Great workouts ladies! @randomtai, that's awesome! I agree with Krok though, take it easy on the squats :) @redheadmommy, congrats on that deadlift with the big girl plates! I remember doing a happy dance the first time I was able to lift 135 on them too, such a great feeling! @neonbeige, I'm seconding this, that's similar…

I did Stronglifts from January-March 2013, and I have to say, it's hard to do when you're in a deficit, but I love the program and I continued to do it until I stalled out on all my lifts and moved on to a more intermediate program. Here's a picture of my results, where I was eating at maintenance during the time I was…

Oh I never even thought of doing that for BP too! Thanks for the idea :)

Lol!

Congrats on the loss so far OP! Try the links below, they're full of good info: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1235566-so-you-re-new-here…

5'3 and the same problem! The gym I like to go to has non-adjustable safety bars, so I put two 45 pound plates on the floor and squat on them, and they give me the extra inch-2 inches I need to not hit the safety bars. It took a while for me to learn how to place them properly, but now they actually help me with my foot…

Ok so this is my first time posting a progress picture in a while. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my progress, I'm now the same BF% as I was this time last year, even though I weigh 5 pounds more (stupid scale!) The bottom picture is from early January, where I was 29.2% BF and ~156 pounds, and the top is from this morning…

Hi ladies! Love the comments so far in here :) Last night was squats, my 3 week of 5/3/1 Warmup Sets: 5 x 75 pounds 5 x 95 pounds 3 x 115 pounds Working Sets: 3 x 135 pounds 3 x 150 pounds 3 x 170 pounds Assistance Work: Split Squat: 3 x 12 @ 65 pounds Back Extensions: 3 x 10 @ 35 pounds The last two sets of squats felt…

I have no before pic, but in anyway!

I'm willing to share, I also have three men's teams in my club I can also use as eye candy. There are a few that look like that, they're pretty :love:

I switched to Wendlers in January, and I've been doing a variation of the Triumvirate template. I switch up my assistance work every three rounds, and just make sure to pick a new move that works the same muscle group as his original template. He recommends 5 sets but since I'm cutting, that's too much for me, so I only do…

Strength: OHP 5 x 70 pounds or 3 x 75-Still working on this one from Feb. Cardio: Keep rowing 1500m and concentrate on speed. Run stairs outside if weather permits, if not, do a hill running program on a treadmill at least once a week. Keep going with my long run on Sundays, or hiking once a week. Food Stuff: I dropped my…
