There is only one true answer here: black magic.

Awesome!!! Keep throwing those plates on that bar!

Weight falls off of me when I stop taking the pill. That's the only plus.

I have a few different types depending on what I am doing. I wear a high impact sports bra on jiu-jitsu and boxing days and a regular sports bra for weight lifting.

Join the Stronglifts 5X5 for women group. They know what's up.

I am with you! I am doing lots of dumbbell presses and maybe once a week I use the barbell. I just got frustrated and decided to start all over again. Haven't made any progress yet, but we'll see.

I am certainly going to follow that bar path! That actually makes a lot more sense.

Push it - Salt n Peppa

Oh, wow.. You guys made me feel so much better. I felt like a total failure. I am ready to try this thing again... Thanks everyone!

Tequila Sunrise. Yum!

When I had this problem it was because I was wearing running shoes with support in the heel that pushed me ever so slightly on to the balls of my feet. I started wearing flat shoes and added about 60 lbs to my squat in one day. It was all in the footwear. I was also just squatting downward and not sitting back into the…

When I get stuck on this I modify it to a push press until I get it, but I can't progress on this exercise as well as I want to because I can't clean more than 55 lbs.

The best thing I did to get my bench press increase was to make my husband spot me. Honestly, it was all mental. I was scared that I was going to get stuck there on the bench with 75 lbs on my chest. I could lift it all along, I was just intimidated. Another thing that helped me was watching a video of another lady lifter…

Salt n Pepa Push it is my favorite work-out song.

Creative!

I have them. I don't really wear them. I watched Mark Rippetoe demonstrate what happens to your hands when you don't grip the bar correctly, so I concentrate on holding the bar the right way and haven't had a problem. I lift pretty heavy, up to 165 lb dead lift. Also, I have pretty small hands so it is hard to get my hands…

I was always afraid to sleep near windows because I didn't want the aliens to get me.

Good for you! I am so glad you put them in their place. Here's to sticking up for yourself! :happy:

I just laughed so hard I almost spit out my drink! :laugh:

I am sick to death of oatmeal right now. I don't even want to look at the Quaker Oats man, but he is there on top of my fridge staring at me...*shivers*

I kind of want to dress as Beverly Sutphin from "Serial Mom." Or maybe Jem from the '80's cartoon.

Female MMA fighters and women that can deadlift 300 lbs. What do you want to be when you grow up?

Cheesecake. I want some right now.

I am from NC. Add me. :)

I am married. I have no idea what romantic is.

[/quote] Radiskull? Where is Devil Doll? [/quote] Haha! Someone remembers! My husband started calling me Radiskull after we saw the video because he says I am mean and it just stuck. I have tons of love notes from him that start out "Dear Radiskull...."

I deadlift a lot more than I can squat. 155 dl 115 squat. I also added weight on to my deadlift way faster.

Anita Blake from the Laurell K. Hamilton series. Also, Ronda Rousey (MMA fighter).
