Thank you for your response. I have been trying to eat at a deficit and not yet at TDEE I have been doing the same exercise since January (Stronglifts and cardio on non lifting days) Okay, so I'll try to move it up to TDEE, 2223 according to your spreadsheet. Though I think I've been eating close to that for a while now.…

No I've never eaten my TDEE

My TDEE according to Eat the Food calculator is 2980, Scoobys 2628 and to lose Fat2Fit says I should eat 2302 for a loss. So I'm eating 2000 which is probably 200-300 under what I should be eating, but I'm a bit flexible in my counting and I'm sure I go over a little bit most days. I don't eat back my exercise calories. I…

I've finally said @&$# it today, and I'm started 3x5 for my overheads. I'm hoping it'll help me progress more as I've been on 25kilos for months

I live in Australia and many PT's own their own businesses running group and individual sessions outdoors (parks, beaches, etc), I believe their businesses are quite viable, but we have great weather. Some work for a gym as well as the outdoors stuff.

Oh my, so glad I live in Australia, all the people running around with weapons would scare me more than the creepy guy in the car.

Please add me.

I used to do mine lying on a step that was usually used for Step Aerobics.

Re: Convict Conditioning, you can see each step towards the One Arm Pull up here (it starts from not being able to do a pull up at all so you are starting with step 6). http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE0D28A73389D8C88 The training goals for each step are as follows : Progression standard for full pull up is 2 sets…

I've just started reading Convict Conditioning, one of the key moves is a one arm pull up and the author provides a training/progress plan towards this. Have you read it? I don't know if it's any good, as I said I have only just started reading it. Happy to give you a summary of the progress plan if you are interested.

It wont hurt to ask the gym if you can use a free bar in it, it looks like it would work.

Yes I watched a clip with Ripptoe and he said you need that space between your back and the bench for good form, so I imagine you need your feet on the floor for the arch to occur. I also think feet on floor works your core better:smile:

Week 35 for me, with a few weeks off here and there, including just getting back into it this week after lower back injury, I've had to deload my squats a lot, sooooooo frustrating
-
I've been doing SL since December (with about 3/4weeks off for injury/health issues) and I'm only 30kg bench 25kg OH press 35 kg row 50 kg squat 65kg deadlift So your starting weights are fantastic (and I'm feeling puny). I'm 182cms tall and 74 kilo

Wow everyone, such beauty, I am impressed and inspired :)

Read the latest blog from gokaleo.com about cellulite, hopefully it might help you feel better
-
Yes, I lost 18 kilos at home. Running, HIIT, getting strength workouts from Womens Health Mag, DVD's, etc. I have small children so mostly had to wait until after 7.30pm as well. I've only joined a gym recently because I needed a squat rack.
-
Amazing, well done
-
I tried hack squats but could not stop whacking my legs :( so in lieu of buying my own squat rack I reluctantly joined the gym. I have slowly gained the confidence to ask dudes using the squat rack how many more sets they have, and once they know your waiting they hurry it up a bit. The other night I just sat and stared at…

The trainer at my gym helps me out occasionaly (not paid for, just helpful), however I'm really conflicted as I really appreciate any help I can get, but on Monday he helped me with my squats and suggested I have my legs really wide and toes turned out so that my back is bolt upright. (almost like a plie). However watching…

I haven't had Mirena, but I know I'm sensitive to some of other contraceptions. I recently took Estelle to help with issues other than contraception and bang +2kilos!! I went to my doctor about a month later and pleaded to come of it, he suggested I wait another month! I stayed on it for another month and no matter what I…

Sorry struggling to work out the quote thing

Glad you got it sorted :0)

^^ this It's more about the shape of your face, I too have a long face and long hair makes me feel like I look horse, as soon as I cut if off I'm happier and think I look instantly thinner.
-
grrrr not a great night at the gym for me, I've been trying to do a low bar squat, but I think it bruises my shoulder blade making it very uncomfortable. The gym was unusually crowded and full of men, when i did my deadlifts the trainer commented on my form and said I needed to squat lower, which was great to have…
-
This and heavy lifting
-
The squat rack usually has an Olympic bar you can put plates on.
-
I hunted around and found little 500 gram plates at my gym, so I can only go up 1 kilo if required. Maybe Ask your gym if they have them.
