I had a rubbish lifting day today too :( Didn't really eat enough yesterday or today and I paid for it at the gym. Squats - 57.5kg 5x5. My squats were progressing really well and I was on track for my main goal - to hit body weight squats (60kg) on Saturday before my holiday but today was sooooo hard and to be honest my…

Amazing - by far my favourite exercise idea ever!! Thank you for all the great suggestions :flowerforyou:

Haha. - I love this!!! My husband is already getting a complex that I am getting closer to his bench press working weight - I can just imagine his poor man ego will be at rock bottom if I suggest squatting with him on my back... :tongue:

We are staying in a village in Turkey located in the mountains. The nearest larger town has a gym in one of the hotels - I emailed them about the possibility of getting a guest pass to use the gym but they said a one day pass is £12.50 (about $19 I think and i am too much of a cheap-skate to pay that) :laugh: and they…

Bumping for later

I love this film - my hubbie took notes as he has now perfected the art of oogling hotties without staring and dribbling (very uncomfortable for all involved) :laugh: Padded sports bras are my saviour - I am always smuggling peanuts as soon as I so much as think about the gym!!

Great lifting everyone. I am so pleased with my progress so far - most of the time I can't believe that I am lifting these weights, never thought I would be able to progress like this , but I guess that's the beauty of SL :heart: This week has been the first that I wasn't sure if I would complete all my reps: Squat - 50kg…

Hahahaha - love it! That really made me chuckle This did have me worried for a minute - I'm in the UK and we have already had Mother's Day but just for a second I thought I had forgotten!! Happy Mothers Day to all you fab mums :flowerforyou:

Some great lifting going on - I can't wait until I can go for the big-girl plates!! Workout B today - started out great: Squats 40kg (88lbs) - 5x5 OHP 25kg (55lbs) - 5x5 Then came the deadlifts - 40kg (should have been 45kg but apparently I can't count... and just as well) on my second rep there was an excruciating pain in…

I love reading about everyone's progress :heart: I find it really inspiring and can't wait until I can post some big numbers :) Squat - 37.5kg (83lbs) 5x5. Was even complimented on my form this evening (made me want to giggle like a school girl and do a little dance of joy on the inside - but obviously I acted ice cool on…

Was a bit lost when I first got to the gym as it was rammed and there were no power racks free or even any spare barbells. So I messed around for a while warming up on the dreadmill then did some kettlebell squats and lunges before using my stealth to secure a free power rack :tongue: As a creature of habit, I find it hard…

I have a slipped disc (partial) which only happened about 5 - 6 weeks ago. I only started Stronglifts 2 weeks ago but so far so good. I was told as long as I kept super strict form with core fully engaged in order to protect my lower back I should be fine. It is any twisting motion that I have to avoid and I can't do any…

I have been lurking on here a while and wanted to say hi!! I only started 2 weeks ago and have just done workout 6 and am absolutely loving the programme (never thought I would look forward to going to the gym so much). I had always been a cardio bunny up to now. I was due to start Stronglifts at the end of March but I…

I am aiming for a 10% deficit most days but days where I am exercising 3+ hours I usually end up eating a bit more or else I find myself ravenous the next day and on occasion my energy is lagging for a couple of days after.
-
Thank you for the great advice - you are right, I think I need to prioritise the lifting in order to progress to heavier weights and ensure my form isn't compromised by being tired out from other things. I try to eat clean 90% of the time and aim for 1900-2500 calories daily depending on my training for the day. I also try…

Height: 5'2 Age/Gender: 29/F Highest Weight: 168 Current Weight: 132 Current Body Fat: 25% Lowest Weight: 110 - I looked ill at this weight, my face looked skeletal which was not an attractive look! Goal Weight: 120ish - I don't have a specific weight goal but would love to get my BF down to 17% and look buff!!

Thank you so much for your advice - to be honest, until I wrote it down I hadn't really realised how much I do!!! :) I think I will continue with pilates, badminton and maybe try 2 spin classes a week and see how I get on, if it turns out to be too much I will cut back the spin classes further. I want my strength training…
