Following advice given to me on this forum, I have been squatting with my heels on a couple of plates. I can squat deep while doing this and also practice without my heels raised. I am improving for sure and wonder that maybe some bodies just need to learn a pattern of movement.

For me, it was a mixture of things. I was just so sick and tired of 'dieting'. I have successfully lost weight numerous times, losing 2-3 stones in about 3 months but never keeping it off. I have constantly chased after the quick fixes. I know what it's like to lose weight on a 1200 calorie diet and on a 2000 calorie diet,…

Thank you @Packerjohn, I did those two checks and can easily do both. @gmallan and @JoRocka, I have thankfully realised early on that a good warm up is mega important so as to avoid any injuries. @SonyaCele, I had a try with TRX squats and could, to my surprise, easily do a deep squat and not just parallel. Thinking that…

Thank you very much for everyone's responses. @amyrebeccah I have been rushing through warmup and not incorporated everything, but today I did it thoroughly. I found that after my workout today, I did not feel stiff at the hips like I usually do. @SideSteel I added some of Dean Somersets stuff into warmup. It was…

Thanks, I will look into Dean Somerset. I was doing goblet squats in the programme before starting with barbell squats last week. I can squat to parallel with goblets but no matter how hard I try, I can't stop my back from rounding. I thought that might suddenly change using the barbell but it hasn't; I also thought…

I think it's important to feel good about yourself DURING the process of losing weight. This is really working for me this time round. I congratulate myself on little habits I have changed and progresses I have made with lifting weights. Buying new clothes makes me feel good along with this, like I am worth it NOW, not…

Well done, you look great!

I counted calories in the past to lose weight and was successful in reaching my goal weight but not maintaining it. Counting calories was all I thought about and in the end I threw it all away and put all the weight back on plus a bit more. I now eat 3 meals plus 1 snack a day and am losing weight with ease. My experience…

Karen Janine-Thankyou, I am waiting for Nrol Supercharged and will start that once I have read it through. I just wanted to do a routine until then and not start a different programme as I really want to do Nrol.:smile:

Leadfoot Lewis-Thankyou. I am going to follow your advice and do the lifts and reps you have said. :smile:

Anyone?

Thankyou Wickedpursuit. I will have to cut down on it.

Why shouldnt you have tuna everyday? Just asking as I have this really frequently so wondered if it is because of a health thing. Thanks.

This sounds yummy AND simple. Will be trying this tomorrow morning. Thanks:smile:
