Pitbullmom - the ladies above have great feed back With the dead-lift - middle of my foot means I have the bar at my ankle (i'm 5ft 6&1/2) the vids I'd watched had said that people sometimes have in between their ankle and toes - but that's not really the middle of your foot as such - not sure if that helps any? Also check…

Looking good - randomtai Sugar Junkie - I'm trying to up my press ups as well - lets do this! I am intermediate on squats & dealifts and untrained on the bench press! he he he must bench harder
-
Deadlifts & squats are where its at for me and rows feeling good the last time Bench/OHP are just rubbish - so I am a misfit as well :-)
-
Hello I work out at home - got a bench/squat thing with a pretty basic home bar off gumtree - the only problem I have is that my bar is now full (bought a few sets of 10kg plates to add along the way eeek happy bunny here) Most important thing is to check what the max weight your bar will take is and can you buy more…

lwoodroff - watch your (awesome) self - heavy + sparklies & HITT not a good combo - and make sure your shower is pretty cool - no warms, or hot here. xx and having a browse online right now, credit card about to get hit aherm - weights and weights and more weights..(hubby ssuggestion why do I just do more reps with a low…

-
hit 200 air squats do 15 full press ups in one go (max 8 at the moment) deadlift 90kg.... -(198lbs) this would be awesome - but maybe unachievable - going to attempt 80kg tomorrow and I'm scared... finally move up from 25kg (55lbs) on the OHP - going to deload and rebuild up so hoping deloading will help me go up!
-
Wow I can cut and bulk at the same time? That's magic Agh no that's not right This is Quote.... . You, however, seem to be confusing a matter of intake (cutting, bulking) with how one trains for strength gains vs. hypertrophy and endurance.

Hello - just want to pop in and say hello and add my support. x

Hello and happy lifting! x

I would have a look online at body weight exercises - a few folk have mentioned nerdfitness as a great resource. Or how about a HITT routine - short sharp sweet - and again incorporate - squats/lunges/push ups in there as well? - I've done a tabata/ tabatha ??? (think that might be a cat???) sorry not 100% sure of the…
-
I thought you looked pretty good and confident on these - it is a power move as well so the top of your move looked good as well. Definitely just check your head and neck position on this and watch any rounding of your back - (oooo listen to be trying to be all knowledgeable) I've had the pendlay row you tube video on…
-
coquette - I'm a few weeks behind you and I'm also looking at where to go next - I know Kira is loving the texas method, and I also liked the look madcrow - or whether I should do a hybrid mix it all up type thing? be interested to see where you decide to go. x lwwodroff - you need to wonder - I still can't believe that…
-
Hurahhhhh - high five! I was in agony after I started - it will ease off and just think - every time from now on you'll be achieving more than you ever have before (this is a HUGE motivator for me) xx

Hello The scale weight - can mess with your head big time. I started stronglifts (8weeks ago) and I can't tell you how much I love how it makes me feel. 8 weeks in and I have dents appearing on my arms, legs, tummy (yay dents!) but the hardest part has been watching the scale go up and up and up (from 132/133 - to this…
