Eating before working out is a bit hit and miss for me - some days I do better fasted, others I do better after a carborific day lol

Uh OHP I hate you. But I love what you do to my shoulders so I tolerate you. Not a great lift tonight, I think I'm due for a rest week next week Squat 5x5 @ 150lbs this was a deload and was super helpful at checking my form and depth OHP 3,3,4,3,4,3 @ 72lbs stupid *kitten* OHP Deadlift 1x5 @ 190lbs, 1x5 @ 210lbs - tried…

What has your weight been doing over this time? Are you dizzy because you're working out hard and not eating much? how much protein are you currently eating? What are your stats?

I completed NROLFW all the way through. I loved it! It told me exactly what to do each and every time and I managed to learn a ton of different variations which I use as accessories to my Stronglifts workouts. by far and away I have seen the most strength gains and body change since doing SLs, but I do not regret doing…

@crabada‌ you are already uber-strong!! Look at those numbers up there!! @TheMOC‌ yes, deload and work on your confidence in the squat. Practice failing. Honestly, the better you feel about bailing out, the more confident you will get x @DawnEmbers‌ back when I used to plank, I'd do it on my forearms and end up with…

I think Nia Shanks has a dumbbell only programme?

<---- around 18months between those pics. The first was around 8 months after having a baby, the other was taken this week. This time around I've basically just been lifting three times a week with the odd run thrown in for good measure....oh and chasing a 2 year old around!!

nawww *blush* thanks xx

I followed usmcmp's advice and I have a flat stomach....no *kitten*. You gotta put the work in and do what it takes. The analogy of losing weight like drying out a sponge is the one thing that has stuck with me more than anything.

Heya Kiwis! I totally started this thread then abandoned it around page 3 somewhere! lol Hope everyone is going well and enjoying the summer!

Incredible!!

Love this post!! Lifting gave me strength and certainly not just physically. It also taught me determination, commitment, patience, how to set goals, and has humbled me on more than one occasion.

Squat 5x5 @ 165lbs - still staying here, feels good Bench 5,5,4,4,5 @‌ - 90lbs hello roll of shame, not nice to see you again! Row 5x5 @‌ 95lbs Plus lat pull downs 5x5 @‌ 90lbs Step ups 5x5 bodyweight, high bench Front squat push press…

Morning all! Long weekend here! Plus kidlet at his grandparents so date night for me and the hubs last night! Yesterday was a 5km 'recovery' run from heavy squats and deads the day before. Debating whether I lift today, feeling a bit sore in the old body but could just be the run yesterday and wine from last night! Will…

@Llamapants86‌ I feel the exact same way about lifting, esp when everything else in life is not going to plan! Lifted tonight in the hot hot garage. So hot lol Squat 5x5 @ 165lbs - am so happy with this cos is basically what I weigh!! Form was *kitten* on the final rep so will repeat this weight for a week or so I think…

I've been playing around with my deficit, I want to get leaner but not lose out on making gains with my lifts. Feeling quite lean, but want to get rid of some of this wobble - I know that…

Haha oh yes, Mehdi is awesome like that. I also unsubscribed a little while ago. His emails are basically the same formula: Question Blah blah don't be weak, do stronglifts Stronglifts Stronglifts Have a mentioned you should do Stronglifts? No excuses Mehdi

Can you download the Stronglifts app? Honestly it works out all the deloads for you - its awesome and I use it every single time! Takes all the guess work and remembering out of things. I've had several periods where I've taken a deload on certain lifts, and I'm about ready to switch to 3x5 - I started SLs after finishing…
