Today was: Squat 5x50,65,75,90; 3x100; 8x75 Today was one of those days that I am so glad that I lift at home. I fell back on my first rep on my warm-ups. Thankfully my husband was behind me laughing and was able to grab the bar for me so I could get back up. I guess that proves my point that I cannot push my hips back any…

@Ohhim I'm sorry that you were bit. Good luck on your tri! I did 2 miles on the rec center track on Wednesday and 2 miles outside today. I pushed myself just a little bit harder than I have been lately and I didn't get any grief from my leg. Next week I am going to start adding a mile a week and I am really looking forward…

Today was: Squat 5x50,65,75,75 Ohp 5x45,45,55,60 Deadlift 5x95,115,135,155 Pause deadlift 3x3x115 Hip thrust 3x10x125 Ab wheel 3x10 Assisted pullup 3x5 I think everything went pretty well today. Standing up and resetting after each deadlift seemed to help my deadlift form.

Last night was Squat 5x50,65,75,90,100 My hips came up too fast in a couple reps but most were good. Pause squat 3x5x75 Bench 5x45,55,70,80,90 That last set was really hard. I have done 95 for 6 reps before so I was pretty disappointed with that. Pause bench 3x5x70 Row 4x5x65; 5x75 The last set of rows were heavy too.…

I posted my workout yesterday in the July thread not even realizing that it was August. Duh! @DawnEmbers I was under the impression that keeping knees behind the toes is a myth. In Starting Strength, Rippetoe says, "For the back squat, when the bar is just below the spine of the scapula, the back will be at a much more…

8/2 2 miles. It was my first time running outside this summer so I am going to choose to be happy about running in 80 degree weather with no pain in my leg instead of complaining about how slow it was. I am very thankful that we don't really deal with humidity in Colorado.

Today was: Squat 5x50,60,70,85; 3x100; 8x70 Yay for being back up to triple digits! Bench 5x45,55,65,75; 3x90; 8x65 Row 4x5x65; 3x75; 8x65 Front squat 2x5x55 Russian curl 3x8 Holy glutes! Assisted chin-ups with negatives 3x5 I was fairly pleased with my form today so yay for that.

I have been having a bad flare of some inflammation I have in my chest and hands so I wasn't feeling great today and almost skipped my workout but I remembered that usually when I skip a workout my body ends up feeling worse so I just kept it short tonight. Squat 5x50,60,70,70 OHP 5x45,45,55,60 Deadlift 5x95,115,130,150 I…

I have 29 miles planned for August. My bigger goal is to be able to run outside again without my leg hurting. The indoor track is making a little crazy.

31 minutes today. I am so glad that I met my goal this month without irritating my tibia too much. I am going to take it easy again in August and hopefully by September I can start ramping up my mileage agin.

Welcome, @blackcoffeeandcherrypie @DawnEmbers I am a bit jealous of your body weight squats. I have been lifting for a long time and was close, but haven't been able to match my body weight yet. That's my goal before the end of the year. Last night I did: Squat 5x50,60,70,85,95 Easy enough but I'm worried my hips are going…

33 minutes on Friday and 32 minutes yesterday brought me to 213.5/220 minutes. Yesterday I ran with no walk breaks which was exciting for me. I can't seem to push past a 15 minute mile without my leg starting to hurt but at least my heart rate is doing pretty well.

@canadianlbs That sounds really awesome! Today was: Squat 5x50,60,70,85; 3x95; 8x70 Bench 5x45,55,65,75; 3x85; 8x65 Row 4x5x65; 3x75; 8x65 (I have 10# bumper plates so I won't go lower than 65# for these.) Front squat 3x8x45 Nothing too exciting. I suck at front squats but I guess that means I just need to practice more.

@awkwardsoul I hope that your back continues to feel good. @krokador I hope your shoulder recovers quickly. Today I did: Squat 5x50,60,70,70 OHP 5x45,45,55,60 Deadlift 90,110,125,145 Pause deadlift 3x5x110 Ab wheel 3x10 I saw a lot of improvement in my form when I added pause squats, bench presses, and deadlifts as…

34 minutes today. I have found that I can get my leg to not hurt if I run(wog??) at a very slow pace. I would rather do that than not run at all I suppose. Hopefully I can get a strong aerobic base doing that. :)

Today was: Squat 5x50,60,70,85,95 Bench 5x45,55,65,75,85 Row 4x5x65,5x75 Glute bridge 3x10x140 It feels weird to do squats at 95 and be done when I was up to 140 but I don't want to cause any problems in my tibia if the stress fracture I had is still healing. It was achy a bit when I tried to run on Sunday but it felt fine…

@JimCrackinDandy Congrats on your HM! Yesterday I decided to try two miles using 2 minutes run/1 minute walk. I used the Galloway method for a half marathon a few years ago and had a good experience so I am thinking I may just do run/walk/run for a while. My right tibia started aching so I only made it 15 minutes. I don't…

Hi, everyone. I hope that it's alright if I start posting here with all of you. I have been lifting for the past 16 months. I made it through Stronglifts and quite a few cycles of 531; however, I ended up with a stress fracture in my right tibia and had to take some time off. I am just getting back to it and am attempting…

21.5 minutes today. So far I have either been doing more walking than running or equal amounts of running and walking but today was 16 minutes running with 5.5 minutes walking. I was really nervous about my leg but it felt completely fine. I am so so glad! I just wish I knew what I had done wrong because I don't want to…

18 minutes today. I decided to do each week of c25k two times instead of three. I am getting antsy with these really short runs when I am used to doing 45 minutes+four times a week but I am really trying not to hurt myself again.

^^^This with a side of ice cream. I live just outside of Boulder and I have no idea what a Colorado diet is.

18 minutes today. I have been worried because my leg seems a bit achy when I am at rest but it hasn't been hurting at all when I run. I think I am psyching myself out a bit.

21 more minutes today

I didn't even think to write them. I will do that, thanks. In the mean time I did a Google search and found a thread where Cortelli had said it was 100+ grams so I just measured out 100 grams. I am so very thankful for you guys because I don't think I would have ever considered trying Gelato Fiasco because of the price but…

I apologize for the stupid question but I was excited to find Gelato Fiasco today and I picked up the dark chocolate sea salt caramel. However, I am not sure how many grams their 1/2 cup serving is. Do any of you know?

Hi, everyone. My sport's medicine doc told me yesterday that I could start trying to do some run/walk intervals and build myself back up again. I decided to pretty much just go back to c25k because I am also trying to build my squat and deadlift back up and I don't want to overdo it. I did a week2day2 run today and had no…

That cardio is required for weight loss.

People in this thread have been advocating eating mostly nutrient dense food and fitting in treats you like as you can. How is that different from the 80/20 clean eating thing?

I've missed posting with you guys. I went to a sports medicine doctor since my leg was not getting better and after an MRI I found out today that I have a stress fracture. I think he said in my right tibia. I'm frustrated because I do a good amount of strength training and am conservative with mileage in hopes of…
