Hi ladies, Sorry to be MIA for so long - still been lifting, just haven't been checking in! Last nights booty blaster: Squat 5x5x140lbs Bench 5x5x100lbs Row 5x5x120lbs Superset 3x8 Hip thrust 120lbs Romanian deadlift 120lbs Anyone else here on instagram??

Great session this morning Squat 5x5x135lbs Bench 5x5x95lbs Row 5x5x125lbs 3x8 Single arm rows 15kg dumbbell Pike push-ups

Struggling at the moment - not with lifting or eating, just with life in general. Meh. Lifted last night, no accessories, just the biggies Squat 5x5x130lbs OHP 5,5,4,4,4 x 85lbs Deadlift 1x5x210lbs - was supposed to be 240lbs but it just felt so heavy that I couldn't even break it. so deloaded and did 210 to at least feel…

Was in a rush to do my workout yesterday so slammed thru it, no time for accessories! Squat 5x5x130lbs Bench 5x5x95lbs Row 5x5x115lbs

Morning ladies!! Lifted last night - was in two minds about lifting of taking an extra day off but glad I did it!! Squat 5x5x130lbs - this was a deload and felt grindy after twisting my leg earlier this week OHP 5,5,3,3,5 x 85lbs UGLY Deadlift 1x4x240lbs BOOYAH Superset of fun upper body stuff 3x8 Lat pull downs Barbell…

lifted last night - was NOT looking forward to it, but as usual I'm super glad that I did it! Squat 5x5x145lbs OHP 5x5x80lbs - ugh so grindy, staying here Deadlift 1x5x230lbs - BOOYAH! Then a crazy leg/butt superset 3x8 Bulgarian split squats front squats hip thrusts Romanian deadlifts

My most recent. Not my biggest as I hid from cameras when I was my largest lol In total I've lost 120lbs from my biggest to now

Haha canned tuna gives me horrible flashbacks to being an obese kid and my mum sending me to school with cans of tuna and rice cakes cos I was fat. Lol.

So I think I went a bit too far today lol had to lie down after my stretching - not enough fuel and trying to do too much I think lol I just get so carried away and I love to feel all the different lifts! Squat 5x5x145lbs Bench 5x5x100lbs these hurt and were a grind!! Row 5x5x115lbs man I love these!! Super set of fun 3x8…

amazing!!! you look incredible!!

Morning all! Lifted last night - still recovering from this chest thing so no accessories this time Squat 5x5x140lbs OHP 5x5x80lbs Deadlift - the warm up sets for this weight were ridiculous so I had to scale them back otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pull my working weight but in the end my working set was…

I think you can adjust your daily grams for each in the MFP food settings? Theres 4 calories in every gram of protein, and 9 in every gram of fat

No ab work - I occasionally throw in some swissball jackknife pike things cos they're fun and I have zero balance or coordination so they help with that! Other than that my stomach is the result of lifting and focusing on getting lean - slight calorie deficit and solid amount of protein

Hey @TigerNY128 I completed NROLFW in its entirety with the exception on stage 6 I think it is? The pull up focused stage? So took around seven months I think? Then a year of SLs Thanks for your kind words :smile:

I actually love pushups! I use a swissball and add a little pike then push up and down. They're quite fun and totally get a sweat up! Lifted last night, am dealing with some kind of chunky chest thing (ugh sorry!) and my breathing got a bit weird for a while - like rattling? I feel ok, but just this stupid cough grrrrr…

So I feel like I'm I pretty fit and pretty strong but 90 minutes of power yoga today put me on my *kitten* hahahahaha

Ugh I think I'm getting a chest infection. Blurgh!! Today's effort Squat 5x5x140lbs - felt easier than when it was lighter. Weird. OHP 5x5x80lbs Deadlift 1x5x240lbs Superset of fun upper body stuff 3x8 Latpulldowns 90lbs Single arm dumbbell row 26lbs Barbell curl 35lbs Single arm bench press 26lbs Arnold press 26lbs Pike…

Extras at the end. Only if I feel like them, and cos I enjoy them!

@dcresider thank you so much lovely x I stuck to SLs with some added accessories at the end - I've run maybe a handful of times in the past year. Id rather stick needles in my eyes than do cardio beyond walking! With regard to food. I follow IIFYM. I'd say I eat semi-clean? I know that I get more bang for my calorie buck…

I love love love the simplicity of SLs, but I feel like sometimes I want something more at the end - I want a booty and I want to have more sculpted arms. So I add in supersets of things that I like and things I've learned from NROLFW. I usually include 4-5 movements that include push and pull and move muscles at different…

Thanks for the super comments everyone - I'm always a little hesitant to post pics on here lol As for my intake, I have around about a 10-15% deficit from my TDEE - I've monitored my intake and loss for a really long time so I know my own sweet spot. I do take a break a maintenance every 4 months or so though. My macros…

only just saw this response - thanks all I'm not sure if anything added to the outside can help with tightening skin - I've made my main focus these past months to get lean, and to really determine if what I thought was loose skin was actually loose skin, or was fat that I still needed to lose. In most cases I still needed…

haven't checked in for ages ladies!! But ive still been grinding away every second day!! Yesterday I took a mental health day off work lol and hit the lower body with a superset at the end that just about killed me hahaha Squat 5x5x135lbs OHP 5x5x75lbs Deadlift 1x5x190lbs then 1x4x225lbs 3x8 superset Bulgarian split squat…

Arms progress - day one of stronglifts, compared to almost one year later!! And I have no idea if I've put this one in here but stomach from day one of NROLFW which I completed then one year of stronglifts And baby abs slowly emerging in my profile pic I'm a huge advocate for women lifting. It will make you bulky....but in…

Hi ladies Thank you all so much for your kind words. I absolutely love and have thrived on stronglifts! Ive been incredibly lucky in terms of loose skin. Ive lost 120lbs in total from my highest ever weight in high school. I lost that really slowly over the course of about three years. I then had a baby and had to start…

I flex hahahahaha cos I'm vain like that!! But I did read somewhere that flexing is good for you so I'm going with that! Being serious tho, when my weights are super high the 90secs flies by
