  • Happy days - two new PBs today - did 6 x full pull ups - 5 regular singles and 1 from a complete dead hang starting position. Also got a massive PB on my bicep curls - previous best 3x10kgx3 - today's record 10kg x 8 x 2 and 10kg x 5 which was an absolute maximal effort. Am very pumped!

  • Waving back! Fractional plates make all the difference - but my club committee laughed when I asked them to buy some - said they were too light to be any use - IDIOTS!! Good luck with all your goals. V impressive to have them set out like that. And motivating too. Heather

  • Tuesday's gym achievements: New Bench Press PB = 43kg, followed by 44kg. Failed at 45kg so definitely know 44kg (97lbs) is my current 1RM. Gone up 2kg since doing Starr's 5x5 intermediate programme for only 2 weeks. Very chuffed. Achieved a single completely unassisted chin up. Whoop-di-whoop! Very happy although struggled…

  • Two workouts away from a single unassisted dead hang pull up. Managed about 85% of one today, though my trainer says it's 99% there because mentally I now believe I will actually be able to do it. Gonna post a video when I manage it. Woo hoo - the adrenaline is still rushing round me just now! :)

  • I have really wee hands too but find that chalk and an alternate grip seems to work OK. I prefer if I can to use a 'girly' light bar of 10kgs instead of the standard 20kg bars mainly because it is thinner so I can get a much better grip on it.

  • Hello. This is Heather. Live in Edinburgh. Run. Lift heavy weights. (It's addictive, in a good way). Want to lose 21lbs and get to my "dream weight" of 8s7 then maintain at under 9 stone. Am already finding MFP a totally amazing website.

  • Hi there. I'm new to this group, and indeed to MFP. Liking it all so far :) My weight training programme has been 100% Mark Rippetoe but I've just graduated to Bill Starr's 5x5 intermediate programme. The one major new lift for me with this is the bent over row so I'm just at baby weights on that. Relevant stats, for the…
