And beltless. You're awesome!!

Did 200lbs for 3x5 today. I haven't repped out 200 or more yet soo this was a first for me. I figured it's just over 80% of my max so why not? Here is the last set. Not the prettiest but I did it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPI3UqJmk4E

Did murph this weekend and tried RXing as many pull ups as I can. I got at total of 55 pull-ups before scaling/ saving my hands from ripping. That's probably double the amount of Kipping pull-ups I did last year :)!

I usually use j hooks and the squat rack if it isn't busy to add 45lb plates on the bar. It's definitely a lot less fighting with the bar haha.

Just started a youtube powerlifting vlog. Feel free to check it out and pass it on. Idgaf about trolls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHq0luj6RRQ

Rest is programmed differently in the examples you show, if that's what you are asking. Your PPL, REST, PPL= day 1 push, day 2 pull, 3 legs with 4th day as rest between day 5 push, 6 pull, 7 legs. The latter has you doing work for 6 days straight with one rest day at the end of the week. I personally would prefer the…

I do some pull-ups or hanging L sit holds in the morning before breakfast. Gotta preserve dem lats.

14.5/16.5 definitely was right at the top of my mind. Another hard one for me was Murph and the fact that it was so long made it even worse. For those who don't know, Murph is as follows: 1 mile run 100 pullups 200 pushups 300 situps 1 mile run Most people choose to break up the movements into smaller rep schemes to make…

I have a pair of Nano 2.0's. I have had them for over a year, and they are comfortable, durable and versatile. I heard the 2's are much more comfortable than the 4's and they are super cheap since the 5's came out. For heavy oly lifting and squats, I wear pendlay do-wins.

And with no lift-off...you are AMAZING!!!

Squats have been a general weakness of mine, but I am finally making progress with them!! At my meet last week, I couldn't hit full depth on my 3rd attempt which was only 170lbs. Yesterday, I hit depth at that weight and then some!! First I hit 175lbs for an easy PR, but that wasn't enough!! I then hit 180lbs, which was a…

Mutant madness is pretty awesome. And it is not speifically for women; it's great for anyone who wants to get strong.

My max is 7. Haha breath control gets so hard for me after 5 reps blargh!

LISTEN TO THIS! Rippetoe is a legend and Alan Thrall is brilliant. And remember get form down before increasing weights. Also, I recommend doing a linear push/pull/legs program to help with strength training. There are some good examples of how this might look and you can always look up the exercises used to help you with…

Does anything that Khloe Kardashian advertises on her instagram acount work? No. Do not buy into stuff endorsed by those hack celebrities. I've heard of people using corset training to tighten their waists but that sounds expensive and painful. If anything, your safest bet is some good ole fashion healthy eating--NOT…

I live in leggings, jeggings, and super loose pants. I am never buying actual jeans again they don't feel bueno around my bulging quadz.

Putting on your upper back and squatting is probably one of the best things for you. Even this guy knows it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDuteL50R68 Don't listen to your chiropractor. She is probably a quack who messed up her back doing squats with poor form.

I have a love/hate relationship with crossfit. I love that it challenges people to push themselves to reach new heights and set new goals. Hate that people feel pressured to do all the reps as fast as possible. As long as you don't do anything stupid and you know your limits, I think it can definitely be a good workout…

This was my 3rd attempt and a 1.8lb PR on my bench press at 126.8lbs! haha I was super excited about this because it was a good lift and I only hit 125lbs 2 weeks out. And this was my first meet EVER so double the excitement!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gdTek6zzqg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFheYURWtXY Deadlift opener at 214.5lbs. SUPER EASY!! And I am pretty sure that I heard a guy in the background say "I hope mine goes up that fast." :D

Haha thank you! It's au natural and that isn't even the tannest I get!

Holy crap I am hideous.

I am going to be a sour sport and stop sharing pictures of myself until somebody feeds me and tells me I'm pretty

I must say, these Nike Pro shorts make me feel legit. Quads are on fleek today!!!

Whenever you have time. As long as you are well rested and have had food in your belly, I say its a good time to workout.

Ugh love Timmy Ho's and their nutella donuts from heaven. We just got one by me. It's such a magical place!!

Post gym yuckface selfie. Woo!!

Ugh give me your arch!!! It's so beautiful!! I feel like being a shorty has made getting that perfect arch for me super difficult. I have to put down plates for my feet it's always fun times :[. And I'm sitting with a baby arch with a 125lb bench press.
