Nice difference!! Get work. Your waist has changed quite a bit.

MAN I LOVE DORY!!!!!! Ok so I am getting kind of tired with the same ol same ol. So I decided to switch it up a bit. I get bored easily and doing the same workout 3 days a week is getting a little old. Last night was a leg accessory day, so I decided to do SL on squats and deadlifts only with leg accessory work. I enjoyed…

Erin- I had my bf watch me and he said I am parallel and look good but he really is no expert so I may have someone who know what they are doing watch me. Chubby- I will reevaluate my sleep and such because lord knows I don't get enough of that!! And when i do sleep it is not a good solid rest. I could definitely give the…

Ok ladies... I am having an issue. I am not progressing in a few of my workouts. Ideas why? Row i cant seem to get above 95- most I have done was like 105 and it really didnt go so well Squat - Highest weight ever 115 and that was crazy heavy. I went back down and have been trying to progress but no such luck. 95 is the…

Congrats on the loss!! I swear I dont think my measurements ever change so I never use those! Yesterday was Squat Bench and row I had to do a quick run through everything because I was late getting to gym and the ex was bringing home the mini version. So here is the workout: Squat 4x5 75 lbs bench 5x5 90lbs Row 4x5 90lbs…

I am working on my second round of SL and I have progressed to 60lb. I can't make all 5x5 but I can do 3-4 sets at this weight before I have to take it down a notch. Its a rough move to advance in I have found. Make sure when your pushing up your whole body is tight from your core to those buns of steel breath and push.…

Ok Good Morning Ladies-- Yesterday was a decent workout day. The bf went with me (he usually does on sundays). I haven't got him to give into doing SL yet but he went HAM so it is all good. Anyway yesterdays workout: Squats 5x5 75lbs ( I deloaded some to work on form with these) I was feeling more ATG than just parallel…

Great work!!! Awesome NSV for you :) And kuddos to you I hate that running business!

You ladies are kicking butt and taking names in here. Pure awesomeness. Don't think I am going to be able to get in my workout today at least not SL. So I will do a mini core workout at home tonight and maybe get in some cardio tomorrow. Sunday I will hit it hard with SL!!!!!

So I made it to the gym last night. It was a quick workout as the baby daddy didnt get the mini version as he was supposed to. Anyhow squats 3x5 100lbs bench- there were peeps hogging the benches the whole time so i didnt get these in rows- 5x5 95lbs (rough) also fit in a little core work, assisted pull ups and some…

Stopping by to check in. Was bed ridden with allergies all weekend so I didn't make it to gym friday or yesterday. Best believe I'll be taking my heiny tomorrow though allergies and all if that is what the case may be. Ladies your numbers look awesome. tata- Glad the mixed grip helped you out.

Todays workout Squat, Bench, Row-- back and bicep accessory and cardio. Although I feel yuk today due to sinuses, so we will see how far I really get tonight.

Have you tried a mixed grip??

Might I suggest raising up your calories a little. 1600 sounds like a lot of calories, but if you walking to work all week and SL on top of that 1600 is probably not enough. Try upping it a little. I know a lot of ladies on here suggest 100 calorie increase at a time. so try 1700-1800 a day. I was only eating 1600 and…

Okie doke yesterday was squats, OHP, and deadlifts. I set some new records for myself yesterday. I was so proud. Squats 100 lbs OHP 3 1/2 @ 60lbs (new record!!! Most i have done to this point was 58) 1@ 55 deadlifts 2@145 lbs (also new record for me) This was followed with some leg accessory work, core work, and 15 minutes…

Today is Squats, OHP, and deads also some accessory leg work. Enjoy the hump day ladies and rock your workouts!

Zanyzana great work on your OHP. Pure awesomeness!

Great work :)

I actually dropped my squats to 3x5 because I am tired of doing them EVERY time. So i am kinda there with ya. Ok- One of my August goals are to maintain my calorie increase. I am so glad I upped it to 1800ish because I feel fuller and I am starting to progress in my lifting and losing :). Also I want to try at least 3 new…

Girl we got this 100% and we will improve the month of august! I want to hit at least 60 lbs on my OHP by September!

lol guess I didn't look at it that way. But when I did squeeze I did feel a huge difference in what the movement worked. Man tightening my core and glutes on that exercise put doing crunches to shame as far as my core felt. It was nice. I told him I would practice my "squeezing" when I didn't have a dead on audience. It…

Workout A yesterday: Squat: 85 lbs ( I am really bouncing back and forth on the weight on these by my choice) Bench: 2 1/2 @ 85 lbs (New PR) was proud to get up at least 2 1/2 sets of 5, 2@80lbs Didn't get rows in because there were guys taking up my rack so I did some other back exercises Also worked core and tricep…

I ask a guy in the gym the other day that does OHP ( and he is like the only other person in there that does them) how he gets so much weight up because I cant progress past 58lbs. He said he seriously tightens everything. He said tighten core, squeeze butt and push up. It did help some, though because he was watching me I…

Welp It is August 1 and I officially made it through my first 90 days of Stronglifts. This is proud moment! I have never started a 90 day workout program and stuck to it the whole duration, but I did this one. So I am now going to start on my second round and hope to improve my results. You ladies have been very supportive…

WTG on the deadlift goal :) Keep rocking it chick! And GEEBUS!!!! 1080 lbs.. he must be B-a-na-na-s!

I had hit 110 on my squats but man i struggled to get that back up fro 5x5 and my lower back was starting to hurt after workouts. So per advice I took it down to 90 and have been doing some core stuff. I have also been stuck at that stinking 75 on bench for weeks!! I think I may try a set of 80 next time though to see if i…

Workout A yesterday squats 90lbs bench 75lbs row (the racks were being used so I used a different machine, works the same part of the back but not sure about the accurate weight on it) also not sure what the machine is called but kind of resembles a tbar type thing Also did some arm accessory work: shoulders, biceps,…

WOW! I am where you are. I am 5'3 163lbs. I have only been eating like 1400 a day. Not on purpose but I am taking the next few weeks to try and reset myself. Upping calorie intake to accommodate my weight training and hoping that will make a difference. OP I am a horrible example right now for calorie intake, but I will…

I haven't been in here for a few days. Our busy season has kicked in at work so I have less time to play on the internet if i get much at all. Any who... I have decided to tweak my diet as I am staying hungry at my calorie intake. I have been trying to keep my macros in check and stay at 1650 cals however it has been a…

NSV-- Went to gym Tuesday and a girl that goes there was in the locker room with me, she comes over and says "I just had to tell you that you squat better than 90% of the men in this gym and you are like a hero to me right now." I'll take that!!!! Not quite 3 months into lifting and I am better than most of the men in…
