I wouldn't mind seeing more info from OP. Are they missing all their lifts? Was it a "bad day/week", maybe had outside stresses playing a part? I'm not saying it isn't possible to stall that fast, but I also wouldn't abandon a program right away, and I'm not suggesting a deload either. Depending on the lead up to the…

How long were you lifting before SL? If SL is your first program, Four months is not long at all. I say run SL until you do not make progress, and if you are stalling after four months, either you are progressing to fast or there are other issues that are holding you back. When I started lifting, I ran a program similar to…

Oh and you you should never hate going in the weight area. Most men actually like to see women in there.

Look into strong lifts or starting strength. They are both good solid linear progression programs that have solid resulys .

How long have you been strength training and what are your goals?

Meters....you and your metric...

Sometimes you have to row your own way. But if you need help bailing you might be in trouble. Good luck on you journey.....

It's only a minor, minor change in your gaze. I wouldn't struggle to look in the mirror (I have to turn away from the mirror otherwise it throws me). What I do is pick a spot partway up the wall across the room from me. I focus on that spot with my eyes. That spot should put my head and neck in a nuteral position, with…

But what if......I don't like either? I has da sads... :'(

30 is the new.... aww fuckit just give up.

Agree with what everyone stated, and I also noticed your gaze goes from slightly up on the first rep, to slightly down on the subsequent reps. I think if you look up a little it may help you drop your hips down, pull your shoulders back and straighten your low back.

Welcome, keep that vitamin D stocked up. :wink:

liquid chalk is a good option, but the spritzer clogs quickly, so be prepared to just dump it on your hands. I Wound up Just using good old chalk. FYI the chalk clap right before a heavy deadlift is bad *kitten*...........until you inhale the chalk, go into a coughing fit and have to abort said heavy deadlift.....not that…

You could rest the ends of the bar on something to match the height, as if they were through plates. Some gyms have 5lb bumper plates that are the same height of a 45 plate.

Yeah...that was meant more tongue in cheek. I still haven't figured out that sarcasm font. ;)

I would advise against it. It creates an unnatural bar path, and may ingrain some bad form habits that are hard to break.

Do not take these two together, I know someone that about had a heart attack doing that. We can still get ephedrine here (MN), you just have to show your I.D. at the pharmacy. There's always clen, but I think that has been banned pretty much everywhere

In.....I could help a couple of people out. I would be a good fit for someone looking to start lifting. I would be willing to review videos for form check, and steer them in the right direction programing wise. I am 38 and have been lifting for about 5 years (give or take a few months). My wife and I started competitive…

So is my twice a week body pump class heavy lifting? *fingers crossed* please say yes, please say yes....

Inb4 rabies...

Your knees will and can go past your toes, and is perfectly ok.

Personally, I think you would be better finding a proven strength program with linear progression. (e.g. a simple 5x5 program) IMHO, programming is not easy, until you can recognize your weaknesses and know how to fix them, it is better left to the pros that have been doing it for decades.

Bluetooth earbbuds. Problem solved...

Ignore whoever told you that.

Not to hack this thread, but on your home screen in the app.(android version) in the upper left corner there are three white lines. click on those and it opens an options menu.

It only took them a several years and a large infusion of cash.....

And they have not given us that option in the app. yet. My fat finger don't help much either lol

Sorry. Replying in the MFP mobile app. Will edit to try and help with your headache.

I would suggest letting your week side dictate weight and reps. For a bit (until weak side catches up) start with the weak side. It shouldn't take long for the weak side to catch up.
