Thanks, I took a quick look at PH3. 4 days a week is usually the most I can get into the gym. Adaptable?

Glad I found this. I used to run SL 5x5 but now do a 3 day PHUL routine and wanted to add something *cardio-ish* but don't love HIIT or really, much other than the stair climber and it's getting boring. LOL! I am def. going to checkout your KB routine. Looking awesome!

Yesterday: Breakfast - 1 egg + 1/2 cup egg whites over 1/2 cup of ground turkey (cooked in taco seasoning on weekend), pico de gallo on top Lunch - leftover turkey & brussel sprouts Aft: protein shake (1.5 scoops powder, 6oz water, 6 oz unsweetened coconut milk, ice, handful of spinach leaves) Dinner - leftover turkey +…

Roger that, thanks.

Question -- is weighing all foods essential to IIFYM success? I'd like to shed 10-15lbs of fat but know myself and know that I won't be consistent with this aspect. Off to check out the Avatar Nutrition site...

[/quote] She said her feet were half on half off, implying (to me) the mats weren't under her, just her sumo stance was wide enough to have her feet on the mats. [/quote] Yep, this is what I was trying to say Hope so.

Thanks all. I will see if I can get the mats under just the edge of the mat so I can get my sumo feet off of it. I haven't seen any dropping when I'm there a 0'dark-stupid but who knows what happens the other 23hrs of the day.

10lbs Then 10lbs Then 10lbs Repeat. Go get it! Awesome post.

Thanks !

I have the program but never opened it :o . I hit the gym 3x a week for heavy lifting but need to incorporate some HIIT type cardio. I could go to the gym but since I have these dvd's gathering dust I could just do it at home................. Has anyone just thrown in some Insanity 2x a week, and if so, which workout…

I am finding myself in a pretty big forward lean on my squats (front & back). Suggestions on how to get more upright? I feel like I look like this first pic:

You look great! I'd love to see your modified SL program.

I say change the diet and start lifting weights.

I no longer do SL but I did find that once I switched to sumo DL I was able to lift much more.

Arditarose - I am always amazed by how you can get cuttin'. I am really struggling to cut and this summer was a fail for me. But hey, atleast I kept lifting and so maybe this counts as a *bulk*? LOL! Inspirational, I love your posts :)

I'm doing 4x5 or 4 on DL, 4x5 on squat and 4x5 on bench. Changing it up for my next round sound like a good plan (DUH to me for not considering that). I do have a bit of a fear about increasing my bench and failing as I don't have a spotter but I need to get over this. Thx

I've just finished my 2nd round of PHUL. I like it but find I am going a few weeks without increasing on my power days (DL and bench, specifically). Suggestions -- should I just keep at it? Is there a program I should progress to?

Didn't even notice this! And actually...I don't know how I stumbled into it. Maybe was searching PHUL? LOL -- sorry for the oldie!

Same! I'm at 205 now as well.

I've been using a mixed grip for about a year now on my DL. I don't *alternate* my *alternate* at all. Is this something I should start doing? I don't really wanna..............but.....will start if it is important.

I skipped squats today in my program and subbed in leg press. I used a wider foot placement and it felt way better. Will try it with my squats next. Thx all.

I think I do point the toes out but perhaps my stance isn't wide enough. I will play with this tomorrow. Thx all.

Age 41, starting weight was 179, current is 138. I tracked religiously to lose 40lbs. Then I started lifting heavy and my weight moves around 1-3lbs any given week up or down. I'd like to cut 10lbs of fat but keep lifting. Slow recomp?? Dunno.

Fun! Age: 41 Height: 5'1 HW: 180 CW:138 LW: 135 GW: 130 I lift 4 days a week. Want to keep building muscle but also cut about 5-6lbs of fat. Ok...10lbs. Hard to do with the appetite that comes with lifting. I have yet to sort out my macros at a level that I can sustain. Also weekends tend to go off the rails for me.

I have Beats ear buds and have tried every size of the rubber ear pieces that came with it and none stay in. Constantly shoving them back in. So disappointed!

Thanks -- how long does a session take you? Do you do Mon/Tu/Th/F? I am a pen & paper logger too so I guess I will just transpose the program onto excel. :)

I'm 5.1" and my weight has stayed within about two pounds (give or take a random jump for whatever reason) for about 1 year. However I am desperately clinging to the smallest hole on my favourite belt even though it's now too big and I have a stack of jeans that haven't fit me for months that I should really sell. My…

I have a small 4x6 size clipboard and I keep my current program spreadsheet on it + the past one for reference.

LOL I know how you feel and I usually feel very empowered when this happens to me.
