Well no working out today sadly. Been in airports and on planes literally all day... typing this as I wait on my last flight, ugh. I plan to workout tomorrow after work. Something I have never been able to do while on a business trip but I'm determined to follow thru this time! I'll am checking in here to keep myself…

Workout A tonight Squats - 1x5 @ 80 lbs, 1x5 @ 90 lbs and then 5x5 @ 100 lbs. Woohoo I hit 100 lbs and it felt good!!! Bench - 1x5 @ 65 lbs, 5x5 @ 75 lbs. That got a little shakey towards the end but I managed. Row - 5x5 @ 85 lbs. This felt good. :smile:

Cool! Good luck! I will be trying it out next time I do Workout B. Maybe I'll practice it some tonight with the empty bar after I do Workout A if I'm not too wiped. I'm not there yet in the book. I'm still in the squat chapter. I'm reading it slow to make sure I take everything in! I think that video I put the link to is…

So I'm bad about getting online over the weekends but I still did my SL workout! So here's my last two workouts... Sunday Workout A Squat - 1x5 @ 45 lb, then attempted 95 lb and failed on the first squat, then 1x5 @ 75, 5x5 @ 90 lb (95 lbs just wasn't happening that day) Bench - 5x5 @ 70 lb Row - 5x5 @ 80 lb Yesterday's…

Did workout B last night: Squats 5x5 @ 90 lbs OHP 5x5 @ 55 lbs Deadlift 1x5 @‌ 125 lbs Everything felt pretty good. The OHP was getting pretty tough by the end but I pushed through. My form definitely suffered there towards the end too. Think I'll probably stay at 55 lbs again next time.

Workout A last night Squat - 5x5 @ 85 lb Bench - 5x5 @‌ 65 lb Row - 5x5 @ 75 lb

So it seems lots of you eat the Quest bars. What are your favorite flavors? What flavors do you hate? Looking for a low cal way to get more protein at the end of the day when I havent hit my protein. Not sure where to start, there are so many choices!

I feel dehydrated, especially at night pretty often. I don't think stronglifts made it worse. I try not to drink too much liquids in the evening because then I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee. But then I just wake up even more parched than usual. I live in the south with high humidity and with this extra…

I just ordered the Kindle edition so I'll have it tonight when I get home from work. I'm ready and now set.

So I've been computer lazy lately since the holidays and vacation and haven't been posting my workouts. I haven't been SL workout lazy though, I got my third one of the year in yesterday afternoon. Squat 5x5 - 80 lb (This felt good. I was a little weary after I accidently went from 65lb to 75lb during my last workout. I…

I'm in too. I haven't read it, and this will give me modivation to do so! I keep saying I'm going to download it onto my kindle to read next, but it hasn't happened yet.

Okay, this is my first time posting goals. I'm taking the plunge. - Lift 3x/wk - Cardio 2x/wk - Continue logging in MFP daily (I just hit 125 day streak!) - Lose 5 lbs Weight lifting goals - Squat - 120 lbs - Bench - 80 lbs - Row - 90 lbs - OHP - 65 lbs - Deadlift - 150 lbs

So I deloaded a bunch on squats and have been really trying to get my form right. After all of your helpful suggestions and working on it while video taping myself, I think I finally have it mostly down. My thighs are now consistently getting parallel to the ground. Whew! No that I know what 'right' feels like, I think…

So I typed out this really long answer about how much I love my home gym but I clicked the wrong button and it went away! Arg! So I'll try to summarize. I hated going to the gym because it adds so much time with going over there and back and you have to wait on equipment to be free and likely the person that just got done…

Llamapants - I just started a couple weeks ago so I'm only up to 60 lbs VeryKatie - That sounds like a great idea. I will try that some tonight since today is my rest day. Spirit - I've been doing the low bar. Would it help if I did the high bar? Canadian - You are totally right on your description of my upper body getting…

So I kept my promise to myself that I would workout tonight since I missed this morning. Completed workout B: Squat 5x5 @ 60 lb OH press 5x5 @ 40 lb Deadlift 1x5 @ 85 lb Then I finished up with 15 min on the elliptical.

Did workout A on Saturday, I just never got around to logging it on here: Squat 5x5 @ 55 lbs Bench 5x5 @ 55lbs Row 5x5 @ 55lbs Bench was the hardest, my arms were all wobbly but I made it through! I was supposed to do workout B this morning before work but I couldn't make myself get out of bed. I went out for a couple…

Hi all, just joined the group today! I just started SL last week. :) Day 4 workout B this morning. Squat - 5x5 @ 50lb OHP - 5x5 @ 35lb Deadlift 1x5 @ 75lb I started on Day 1 with 35lb squats so I was super happy I could do 50 today. I didn't think I would be able to!

Where is this supposed awesome Stronglifts 5x5 for women group? I just started last week and I am using the app. I am new to weightlifting and have been looking for other women doing stronglifts too. I'll be doing day 4 tomorrow!

Thanks for the quick responses! I will look into them. Thanks Annie, let me know what you think of that Delavier book.

I travel a lot for work too (platinum on Delta), and I have celiac disease which means I have to eat gluten free to live. I always research where I am going and pick out restaurants that I can eat at before I leave for the trip. If you apply that to picking restaurants with healthy foods, then you can plan where you are…
