I don't agree with this at all. I've been lifting for 4 years (took a year off in the middle, cos baby) and I think its actually fixed my posture so I think I stand differently and hold myself differently - I don't think it has made my shoulders more broad - plus I've gone down from a large to a small in tops so, ya…

Actually no, this site is full of people who have been here a long time (5 years). who have been in this weight loss game a looooong time and lost substantial weight (120lbs) who have been there and done that and are trying to help prevent others making the same mistakes that they did. Because most 'quick fix' lose weight…

OP I'm sorry if my post was one of the ones you deemed to be negative. But I've been where you are. Trust me. it will not end well. Can you tell me what Phentermine is? what is it actually made of? how is it created? what does it actually do to your body? If you can tell me all those things and you know exactly what you…

Been a while since I've lifted on a Saturday so cranked a little more preworkout than I would during the week when I lift at night.

I do front squats as an accessory once a week - they help with my range of motion and I honestly believe they've helped me get better form on back squats. @dcresider when it comes to lifting, the scale is a lying SOB. pictures are by far the best way to monitor progress - and the measuring tape. If you're that unhappy…

I love lifting! I've lost 120lbs in total - difference between these pics is about 18months of lifting, little to no cardio and eating all the thingzzz!!

^ yep this! If your body is feeling tired your workout will suck, and then you'll end up feeling worse - or injuring yourself. Take the time you need
