Awesome results, way to go!

I started lifting with 5x5 a few years ago after doing mostly just running and I loved it. My only regret was not starting lifting sooner! Start lifting, you won't regret it! :)

^ This.

Don't stop lifting. As said previously, it will pay off. There are plenty of examples on MFP, among other places, if you need to remind or encourage yourself. Don't. Stop. Lifting. :smile:

^ Yep.

^This. If you haven't already, just search through some of the heavy lifting forums and see what it has done for people. I used SL when I first got into free weights a few years ago; I thought it was a great program to get me started. Good luck!

Are you eating enough calories? What kinds of foods are you eating? Congrats on the recovery.

Sounds yummy!

Bump for later. :smile:

OMG! Strut your stuff woman; you look amazing! Congrats!

Great job ladies! The progress is fantastic!!:drinker:

Yep. That. :drinker:

Freckledleann:: Haha. Thanks. I think it has really affected how I've felt through this whole pregnancy (which has been pretty darn awesome, generally). Also, I feel pretty bad *kitten* to be doing squats with my baby bump between my knees. And hilarious. I think the dudes are both terrified and impressed. I've heard…

@ Ges: ^^this. I share your frustrations; you are not alone! Lol I feel good about what I am lifting so I have to work at not comparing what I am doing to what others are doing....eventually I will squat and DL my body weight too. This is one buff group :laugh: That 4 mile run may have felt good yesterday but I paid for it…

Heck no! A 12 minute mile is better than not running at all. Don't stress out by comparing your pace to others. Just keep running if you enjoy it, speed will come.

Workout B went much better today! Squat 70 OHP 38 (used the EZ bar and added some weight)......form felt good and the weight was still a challenge! Deadlift 75 Coming along slow but steady and trying to focus on keeping good form. Scale actually went up a little but I really haven't been eating very well and not doing as…

Woo hoo!!:flowerforyou:

Way to go!!!:drinker:

Sorry! I got really busy and forgot to reply. I didn't read anything or thought anything in anyone's responses was offensive. I was looking for feedback and got it, so thank you, all of you! @ Vince. Yes! My form was off because the weight was too heavy. I don't know if I said in my original post but I was only doing the…

Grrr. Workout sucked today. Squats went good, am up to 60 lbs on the first day of the 2nd week. I am still REALLY struggling on OHP, I complete it, but can tell my form is not good. Should I scale down to a lighter bar? And I aimed too high with deadlifts; completed the 95 lbs after misreading the "directions" last…

This! Exactly this.

Oops...didn't realize I mentioned how much weight I did twice. Need more sleep!

Ha! I have not heard BAMF in forever, but that is so how I felt after my whopping 65 lb deadlifts today! Lol. I am sure once I start lifting more (and get some mats since I lift at home) I will be "slamming" my weights down too! :laugh:

Hmmm. How do I make them smaller?

Wondering what everyone's favorite SL "move" is? I am new but I LOVE the deadlift! Made me feel badass. All 65 whopping pounds! Lol
