Thank you for taking the time to look :happy: It's funny you mention your bars having different weights. My son and I were both saying that the bar felt heavier when we were loading it in the truck, but chalked it up to feeling weak because it was so early. Now I am curious how far off my weights are from what they say.…

Hi! I have been having trouble recently with my dead lifts. At the gym I was able to lift 185 1x5 without to much trouble. Since getting my home set up I haven't even been able to get 180 up more than 1x3. I am wondering if this has anything to do with my form...could you please check? This bar is also thicker than the one…

I have been struggling with my dead lifts lately. I cannot seem to get all 5 reps in on one set. Could you tell me if it is my form that is off? Otherwise I am thinking that maybe it is grip strength? This is at 180lbs. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BbyD7xjKIUA&feature=youtube_gdata_player Thanks! edit: hmmm...my link won't…

Fat bombs help with my chocolate cravings. I keep them in the freezer so they are like frozen candy...yum! These are not something you can find in the store. Take a little time to google some recipes. Before discovering fat bombs I would make sugar free chocolate pudding with unsweetened almond milk. Good luck!

You were in beast mode with this workout! I don't think I could have kept going...reading this paralyzed me for a couple seconds just sympathizing! ____________________________________________ Workout A yesterday: Squats: Warm up: 2x5 45lbs. Work: 5,4,5,5,5 95lbs. it felt better putting two 25's on there than actually…

Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your success! I am sure this will give many people (myself included) the motivation to keep going :smile:

I'm a mom of 3...23 yr. old son who still lives at home and 8 yr. old boy/girl twins. I just started Stronglifts recently and have just finished my 14th. session. I do follow what many consider a fad diet though, but with my PCOS and Thyroglobulin antibodies wreaking havoc, it has been what works best for me. (Low…

Workout B today...unfortunately, my warm ups for squats weren't as much fun as wolfsbayne's :laugh: Squats: Warm up: 2x5 45lbs. Work: 5x5 90lbs. I get to use the big girl plates next time! I am thinking of doing a form video then. OHP: Warm up: 2x5 45lbs. Work: 5x5 60lbs....well...I was supposed to move up to 65 this time,…

That's awesome!!! Way to go! ________________________________________________________________________________ Iwoodroff: I really enjoyed watching your videos...you made those deadlifts look effortless...Amazing! ________________________________________________________________________________ I did Workout A tonight...and…

Hi. I wish I could be of some assistance with this, but it took me over a year to finally figure out my own sweet spot. I would like to recommend a group on here called: "eat, train, progress". The moderators on there have helped a few people with finding the proper amount to eat on lift days and off days. Good luck!…

That my dear is mighty impressive! Yay! Way to go! _______________________ Workout B today Squat: Warm up: 2x5 45lbs. Work: 5x5 80lbs. OHP: Warm up: 2x5 45lbs. Work: 5x5 60lbs! Yay no fail this time! Deadlift: 1x5 145lbs.

Last night was workout A Squat: Warm up: 2x5 45lbs. Work: 5x5 75lbs. Same as last time, because I felt wobbly...still do. Bench: Warm up: 2x5 45lbs. Work: 5x5 70lbs. Row: 5x5 80lbs.

Did your blood work have a breakdown of how much was HDL and LDL? They usually throw in a triglyceride check along with it. You would need to compare all of these numbers to make sure your body is on the right track.

That was the most graceful bailout I have ever seen!

I hope you feel better soon Krokador. Today was workout B Squats: Warm up: 2x5 45lbs. Work: 5x5 75lbs. OHP: Warm up: 2x5 45lbs. Work 5,5,5,5,4! :sad: 60lbs. Deadlift: 1x5 135lbs.

I am just eating at a deficit, but I have way more weight to lose than you do, so I guess that has been enough for now...I think you look fantastic, so I would continue to ignore that scale :) Workout A today (My husband went with me! Yay! I was so nervous having him there that I smacked my head on the bar when I put my…

That is quite a change! Congrats!!

Congrats!!

This was my concern as well. I have only done 9 sessions so far, but the answer is YES! I have continued to lose weight doing this program. The only cardio I have done since starting is family skate night 2 times...so it was not a cardio class...just skating for fun with the kids.

I think most will agree not to count calories that first or maybe even second week. Your body is being a little brat right now and wants it's high carb fix. Just eat and drink as much as you need (of LCHF food) and I promise you things will calm down a bit and you won't feel like you are on such a rollercoaster. Oh and as…

Krokador I just bought some Nike Free's two weeks ago...I thought my foot was getting bigger, because I also needed to go up a size...glad it is just the shoe! I went skating yesterday and some kid rammed me. I fell on my elbow and hip..it didn't seem like it did much, but wow did the weights feel heavy today! Workout B…

Unfortunately everyone is different when it comes to sugar free sweeteners...luckily for me it does not cause a blood sugar spike or a stall. With that being said the only sweetener I like in my coffee is Davinci sugar free vanilla syrup.

Everyone is doing so good! Today was Workout B (was supposed to be yesterday, but I can't seem to stay on schedule!) Squat: Only rocked forward 2 times today! Getting better! Warm up 2x5 45lbs Work 5x5 55lbs OHP: Warm up 2x5 45lbs Work 5x5 55lbs Deadlift: 115lbs. Not really sure how many...I kept getting mad that I wasn't…
