i understand now, thanks! i was reading the comment as if the bar with the plates should be raised off of the floor. if the height is the plates raising the bar from the floor then i'm doing it correct :)

hmmm so the bar shouldn't be on the floor, but raised a tad?

i lift mon/thus/sat and run 5k tues/fri with rest days wed/sun. so far so good, but if i start to feel fatigued during my runs i'll have to rethink it.

i just did workout 1b yesterday and i was worried about my deadlift form as well. it felt like a squat more than anything. i watched some youtube clips of people doing deadlifts and i think i need to get closer to the bar, like with my feet under it and push through my heels more. otherwise i think i did ok!

i give you ladies a lot of credit for tackling the pikes! i'm scared to death i'm going to fall on my head just doing the jacknives lol. maybe once i have more strength i'll feel better about it :smile:

my fiance keeps telling me the same thing, no matter how many times i tell him he's wrong...so i'm going to prove him wrong :) i think he's just jealous i can squat more than him already lol

thanks for the reccomendations on the seated row, i'm going to give the v shaped handle a shot and if that doesn't do the trick i'll try the rope!

question for you laides about the seated row...i'm using a cable system with a short straight bar and i'm not feeling like i can get the range of motion i need to really squeeze my shoulder blades. what kind of bar are you ladies using? i was thinking of switching to something other than the straight bar...

i just started new rules of lifting for women - it's pretty good :)

3/6 - 3.35 3/8 - 1.25 14.33 miles done, 55.67 to go

I'm new to the program and I'm playing around with the calories as well. I have 40 lbs at least left to loose and I was loosing at 1360 cals a day plus eating back excercise cals. Then I stumbled across some MFP users that said eat more and lift heavy and I was confused lol. So I caved an got NROLFW and the cals they said…

oops forgot to log! 3/1 - 2.93 3/4 - 3.45 3/6 - 3.25 total 9.63 done, 60.37 miles to go

i typically eat dinner after a workout and since dinner is high protein i wait to have a shake until later in the evening as more of a dessert

amanda - i just read the book over the weekend and i'm starting today so feel free to add me and we can help each other out! from what i understand, 1 means workout 1, 2 means workout 2 and so on. so today i am doing the sets and reps that correspond with workout 1 (wherever it says 1...i don't have the book in front of me…

thanks that's what i was planning on doing, just wasn't sure! i'm working on @ss to grass lol

i was just setting up my log for tonight with the workouts and i'm a bit confused. what kind of squat are we supposed to start with? bodyweight? dumbell? squat rack? i've been doing squats with 8 lb weights so i was going to move to the squat rack tonight. any suggestions??

hey sarah, i'm starting today as well. i work out at night so i haven't done my workout yet. i'm going to send you a friend request, maybe we can help eachother out along the way!

hi all! my name's phyllis and i'm 30 yrs old. i have been a gym rat on and off for about 2 years now. i had lost 45 lbs and gained some back so i'm getting back in shape. althought i love the way weight lifting makes me feel i never stuck to a plan. after being introduced to new rules i was skeptical but it kept popping up…

i'm in again! there are a few extra days this month so i'll go for 70 miles :)

your mom got the news on her birthday, how terrible. my fiance' actually found out on christmas eve, so i guess that's just as bad! i would definitely suggest having her track her foods and numbers, then she can see what foods make her go high or low. my fiance was told to loose 30 lbs right off the bat. we do find that…

hi chellie! i do not have diabetes, however my fiance was diagnosed with it a year ago. since we live together and i do all of the cooking i've learned quite a bit, especially what causes his numbers to go up. let me know how i can help you! i'll be more than happy to share whatever i can with you :smile:

i'll send out invites to you ladies who mentioned you were interested in joining our bride to be boot camp. anyone else please let me know through this post or message me :) the more the merrier!
