@crabada - cheers for that :) will have a go at changing my stand and see how that feels. Have been practice squatting without the bar in different positions, so I will try that next time and see how it feels. Will also concentrate on pushing through the heels and less on the hips xx

Hey y'all - I am back to it again. Have been doing for two weeks properly and nice to see my deadlifts havent suffered but everything else seems to be suffering. Got access to two gyms - one home and one work, so have no excuse which is nice as if I am busy at work I know I can get home and go and vice versa! Also have…

bump for research later

Start with the bar - then you can make sure that your form is correct. I found that the hardest, making sure I was using the correct form. xx

Hey :) Read NROLFW or Stronglifts 5x5. I started with NROLFW and found the book really helpful, in the end I only did stage one and started 5x5 a few weeks ago. I find 5x5 nice and easy. Just google stronglifts - and there is a group on here which explain it really well. NROLFW is a book - it explains it really well and I…

I agree, thats what I liked about it. Stage 1 of NROLFW gave me time to focus on form, but looking forward it gets to complicated. I have completed my third session this morning and as there are only three exercises, I have plenty of time to make sure that my form is correct. How are you finding it? xx

I really enjoyed stage one - but it just looked to complicated after that. I have just completed my third session of 5 x 5 and enjoy the simplicity, like I got with stage 1. The book was invaluable and I think the programme is great for that. xx

Hey all - feel free to add me :) I completed stage one of NROLFW and have just started strong lifts! Loving the confidence it has given me and the changes I am seeing :)

Nothing major - just the time I have read that it has taken people and how some have found further along in the programme more complex. I like stage one - as its fairly simple, and at 5.45 in the morning I NEED simple. Looking at the exercises further along, when it calls for balancing on one leg during one exercise, I…

BUMP

www.fitbit.com/user/24Q2L9 Add me :) Had a week and loving it - finding how little I walk some days! really need to improve that! xx

Bump!! All sound lush! Cannot wait until lent is over and then those chocolate ones are MINE!

Bump to look at later nx

Bump to read later when pictures will load x

Bump to read when pictures load - and not at work...

Everyones doing really well :) I find it hard not to compare myself to others and think why am I not lifting as much as they are. I know that everyone is different, just hard to get used to that fact. Havent been for a week, will still fit three in this week and did two last week. Trying my hardest to do three every week…

Glad I'm not the only one. I think I will be doing the extended version of stage A as it's the first time that I am doing weights. I have been told that I need to eat more protein as that helps, bit strange as I'm a carb girl. Do you find extra reps are helping? N xx

mschmid983 - also doing NROLFW :) Wanting to get back into running when I can run outside - feel free to add. On third week of NROLFW and wanting to complete a 10k later this year :) xxxx

Bump xx

Bump anyone?

Beeps have a great holiday :) Elgray - good going starting level 2. Just completed B2. xxx

Rest day today and B2 tomorrow. Got some work trips coming up and we are stopping in a hotel without a gym so trying to make sure that I can get two workouts a week in during those weeks. Silly work! Looking forward to getting stronger - pushed myself in A2 yesterday - just have to remember that I am stronger than I think…

My NSV - I needed help with weight equipment so sucked it up and asked the only other person for advice on what squat rack was best. Never imagine myself ever doing that before.

Bump to read later as pictures wont load up - good story though! Congratulations on everything you have achieved :) N xx

Thanks Rocky. Wanted to go to the gym this morning but wind closed the gym so now to keep on track I will be doing STTS - with plenty of dog walking in between. Thanks for all the advice. I really appreciate it. Will have a look at the foam roller as we have one at the gym xxx

Thanks Sam - I've been making myself take the dog a walk everyday which has been helping. I have never had DOMS so bad!! Thank you xx

I can sympathise! I am feeling exactly the same, have been walking everyday to try and ease it and it has helped! xx

I will hun - I started week one this week. Tomorrow will be my third session. xx

You all seem to know exactly what you are doing with it all - hopefully I will get there! I was intending to do MWF before work, but I have woken up today and I still ache EVERYWHERE! Decided to take today off and go tomorrow then I am still completing three this week. I am assuming as my muscles get used to actually being…

Hi ladies. Started this week. Have done the first two of stage one - was more getting used to equipment so I think I know what I should be doing now. Looking forward to getting stronger as feel very weak compared to what some of you are lifting. Xxx
