Hello Prairie, My work involved significant amount of travel, which I was advised against in 1st trimester. I went ahead and told my business head and he was very supportive. I would recommend going ahead and telling your HR. If its uncomplicated pregnancy, I dont see a reason why you cant disclose discreetly. Hope this…

I have been advised Pro-DHA by my doctor. 30 grams powder has 10 grams of protein. to be taken twice daily with low fat milk

thanks everyone!

Looking for my twin. I am 31 years of age, 5'7" Current weight: 175 pounds Highest: 185 pounds

Got that. I will try the bench today. Am also thinking of a deload. By the way, I am also confused if I should reduce the width of my stance. I did a quick test to check the perfect stance depending on my flexibility and realized a stance slightly wider than shoulders is something I could be more comfortable in. Does that…

Thank you. This is very helpful!

will keep this in mind for the next time. thank you

Thanks Krok, I had missed your feedback earlier. I think its very clear I am not hitting parallel. Will try to reduce the stance width and see what happens. Midfoot is something I need to focus on. Guess I will now start with the empty bar and start adding weight and stop at the weights where I am not hitting parallel.…

Anyone facing issues with knee slide during squats. Specially while coming up?

I am heavy and it gets very difficult for me to even attempt an unassisted pullup. Any idea of a regime to preapre for this. I do stronglifts 3 times a week and have definitely seen an improvement in my strength. I can now 15 pushups at a stretch :smile: But pullups :neutral_face:

Thank you everyone. I have decided to take rest on these days, given low calories. And the leg pain is now better

Thank you everyone. Extremely helpful. Started reading rippetoe's book

Bump!

I am not sure about lenthening, but yes as you become lean you tend to "appear" taller. And no amount of lifting can make you bulky. What makes you bulky is bad eating.

The guys definitely hog the weights. Intitally I was stared at as if I am from another planet. But two months into it, most of them are appreciative now and we also alternate weights for exercises now :) Everyone falls in line eventually :D

http://damndelicious.net/2014/05/30/pf-changs-chicken-lettuce-wraps/ I just modified this a little bit. Drizzle of oil, sauteed onions (1 medium) , minced chicken breast (200 grams) , soya sauce (1 tea spoon) and tomato sauce (1 table spoon). Chicken got cooked in 15 mins. at the time of eating, I used lettuce leaves as a…

Bump this!

Thanks a ton. Can you suggest some protein powder as well? Something available in Bangalore, and the idea being to lose weight. Thanks for the recipe.

This could also be because of muscle breakdown in case you are doing intense programs like insanity, p90x. Trying having fresh coconut water everyday, may be twice a day. Muscle soreness should ideally go down

Why not eat at BMR and eat back calories?

Thank you everyone!

I am in..

Bump for answers. I am in the same boat. Been doing T25 for some weeks now. Eating under 1200 Kcals. Have been losing inches but no weight. Surprisingly, lose some weight on rest days but gain it back on the days i exercise!

I am in!
