Just checking in on you ladies!! you are all doing awesome!!! Ive fallen off the track with lifting. Ive the results from it, but cant seem to stick with it. I don't love it but Im tired of tons of cardio- just doesn't get the results I want. anyway, keep it up and keep lifting ladies!!!! ~Sam :)

I read this thread often and rarely comment but this totally made me chuckle!! thanks!!

Tessa- get your exercises picked out yet?? And awesome on your PRs!!!! CG- Nice work on S&PII. What kindof results did you see?? You always have such great results. Enjoy rest week :) That's when you go to Key West right??? Rock that suit!! Im still averaging about 2 lifting workouts a week. I don't see huge changes and it…

That's what Ive heard too ;) Cant see the pictures but Ill take your word for it!

I hate when people mess with my workouts!!! I workout at home and my oldest knows to not talk to me or walk by me or he may just get a barbell in the side. LoL Try to have a better day!

How is everyone doing? Im staying consistently sore with Hypertrophy. Its nice. Muscle soreness seemed to hit for a few days with BT stages for gone quickly after. Lifting tomorrow. Have a good week!

To be honest, I didn't read the whole book. I read parts and focused more on the stages and what they were about. Something I referenced back but Im too impatient with that stuff, so off I went. Good luck :) Glad you are aware of your form and as weird it may feel right now, before too long it will be normal for you and…

Yes, there are 4x 6 in the Hypertrophy that you do depending on what workout it is and what week and 4 sets can be a lot. Its funny because I always have my 13yr walked on me from knees to shoulders as I lay on the face down on the floor and it really helps with keeping my muscles from tightening up. Sometimes I just don't…

Sounds like a great workout BCG!! The same routine gets boring and changing it up is what I need often. And I suppose as long as Im lifting regularly then it doesn't really matter if I jump around a bit on my routines.

thanks! I was thinking the same thing. I posted on the daily thread and they gave me suggestions to make exercises harder...like DL at deficit, etc.

How sweet!

That's what I thought--so Ill have to do those exercises at a deficit along with my food...but not a huge one. Ill have to pick exercises that are difficult and I wont be able to lift a lot of weight on...like BSS and stuff. Ill just have to forego regular squats and exercises like that I suppose. Thanks for the…

Hi!! I don't normally post in here but read it occasionally but I have a question for you gals and hoped someone might have an answer or suggestion for me...besides getting a gym membership. Hope you don't mind! I think that I lost my enthusiasm for lifting because im running out of weight for progressing. Like I haven't…

Ive pretty much stalled with lifting...and working out period. Kindof been unmotivated- not sure if its all the cold and dreary winter weather or what. Im eat better and did a workout (not lifting) so far this week so hoping to be back on track. I feel like I have so much to learn about lifting. I don't know the difference…

Tessa, that's got to feel good to hear!! awesome NSV!! Cowgirl, are you feeling good during you workouts since cutting? Even though you are at a standstill with your weights they are still awesome numbers! BTIV is going fine...only 2 workouts last week because I wasn't feeling good. My second one is tonight for this week…

Glad that you are liking Strength. Your DL are impressive...and I finally have noticed that inverted rows are getting better for me too. Not great but definitely better. Im hoping that I will be happy with the extra regular lifting session- im ready for changes to happen and inches to be gone. It is never good when your…

Back from vacation and to the cold *kitten* weather. I was 3 workouts in on BTIV so I restarted last night. January goal is 3x a week lifting. welcome to the program Tessa. And I agree...high rep PUs are not my cup of tea. But I do what I can. I can say that I can actually activate my core much better during them so I…

Hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had an awesome one!! I decided to go to Florida and ill be back around the 5th so I will restart BTIV then- I was only a few workouts in. Keep lifting heavy!!!

Did my workout B for BTIV and I jested used the sample workout from the book and I really like it. I was able to up my RDL/ row and the front squat I would be able to do more but I don't have a rack so I have to be able to lift it from the ground to the front of my chest/collarbone height. It was a good workout though- I…

Started BT IV tonight- I didn't do the metabolic workout at the end only because I did T-25 along with the strength portion. I'm happy to be doing 10 reps and I am happy to have new exercises. However, as I was finishing my second set of cross over step ups, I drops one of my adjustable weights and the piece that makes it…

I love when my is sore for days too and have found SDL do that also! I have one workout to go and then not next phase. After hearing about your great results Cowgirl- I want to spend a month at macros and lifting 3x how've not sure if this is the month. Maybe a good goals for January!! Jo- eccentric wrist extension is a…

Thanks!!! I guess ill try a protein shake daily and see if that helps!

Jo- are you seeing any improvement with your shoulder/ elbow? Maybe a tendinitis? I suppose when I get to where you ladies are ill despise higher reps- actually I most likely will because I'm getting tht way with the 12 reps in BTIII. What do you guys eat to get your protein macros where it needs to be. I need about 150 a…

Only have 1 more of each and I'm moving on to BT IV so either by the end of the week or early next week. I'm looking forward to a new routine of exercises. Still only managing 2x a week in regards to lifting. I'm doing a few days of T-25 which kind of mimics HIIT. I can't imagine that in a year ill see any difference but I…

Awesome! I most likely will only get 2 in which is typical for me. Roll that **** out!!!!! What weight do you use for SL DL?

Did you do physical therapy to help with range of motion and strength? Lifting is fine as you start light and don't exaggerate the chest presses and push ups. I'd do modified pushups ( 45 degree angle) and possible avoid chest/ bench press for a while. If you did do therapy, they should've advised you on what to do and…

Cowgirl- you know, I've stopped focussing on how long I'm lifting for and am really working on good form, getting my reps with an appropriate amount of weight to fatigue and then recovering to go move on. It seems to also be around 35-40 mins. And I usually experience DOMS so I must be doing something right! If it works…

Bump for later!

This last week has been much better with the food. Only lifting 2x though but that's okay. Sore from yesterday's workout. I switched the lunges to BSS and felt them so much more in my HS and glutes and I increased the weight too! Jo- Well higher reps fatigue as well and maybe you lose form or maybe you rush through the…
