I am feeling the DOMS pretty bad, but it felt good to challenge myself.

Yesterday's Workout Barbell Squat 60 lbs x 8 Bench Press 47.5 lbs x 8 DB Single Arm Row 22.5 lbs x 8 Welcome back @dcresider !!

Good question. I do it after OHP because my shoulders and wrists are pretty much useless after the pullups.
-
It is going well, able to do maybe 3-4 before my wrists start to hurt. So I do a mix of negatives and band assisted pullups. Still feel like I have to go a long way before I can do 1 real pullup.

Thanks @DDHFree . I am looking forward to the 4 X 6 , so that I can start lifting some bad *kitten* weights :) You are spot on (as always) in your previous post. This way of lifestyle change is something we can definitely live with. The fact that I look forward to those workouts is a big change for me, and this is coming…

@dcresider , when will you be back from Amsterdam? I am flexible and can start the next 16 week phase any time after Apr 16th.
-
That is really impressive progress @DDHFree . We can definitely see the changes in your shoulders and you look lean. Most importantly, you are seeing this as a lifestyle change and that is something we all should aim to learn.

Yes, we are petite. But I am sure we will look different even at the same weight, depending on where we carry most of our fat. I carry my most fat in my belly. I am ok with my rest of the body, now only if I could spot reduce :)
-
Yes, I am hoping so. Actually I am thinking of running a 4 X 6 reps for a few months when we start our next 16 week cycle to build up my strength and then go back to 3 X 10.

This advice is right on spot. I am 5 '2 and I don't get a lot of calories to play with. Only way I can assure that I am creating a deficit, without getting too hangry is by skipping breakfast. I am not very hungry in the mornings, so it has been working really well for me. I lose 1 lb every 2-3 weeks and I am happy with…

I am also following the same program which was originally suggested by you, and I really like it. I am able to finish the workout in under an hour which includes a 15 min warm up and some stretching at the end. I do not like to spend more than an hour on workouts. So far it has been working well for me. Workout B Deadlift…

I have heard that when you hit a wall like this, you have to deload like 10% and increase reps/sets. Or if you are in a deficit, eat more or at maintenance for a while. But I will let the experts chime in...

I love your posts, so much analysis goes into it. Makes me think as well :) Its a bummer that the bar weighed 2lb less, I always thought women's olympic bar weighed 35 lbs and men's 45lbs... Congratulations on starting Week 8. Did you take pics for comparison? How do you look now - week 1 vs week 8?
