Working weight is 150 (right at body weight) and my current tested 1RM is 185.

Eat: Stay under 2000 calories a day until mid August, then move down to sub 1800 to start my cut. *cry* Lift: I'm not sure how I will perform once starting my cut, but that being said...I haz goals anyway. I want to hit 165+ for squats (150 current), 85+ for OHP (70 current), 115+ for bench (100 current, just deloaded from…

One thing that you might run into an issue with is not being able to do the same weight for the three different variations. Like I can handle more weight on back squats than front squats, and I've never done sumo squats. So anyway, that might end up getting annoying if you are trying to do the same weight on all variations.

If it was me, I'd take the while week off. Maybe do some walking or swimming, but I would take a break from the weights.

Ugh, that's what I was worried about for you. I did the same thing! Take another FULL week off, and when you go back, you're gonna have to deload some weights. I deloaded squats, rows and DL. It only took a month to get back to where I was so be patient!

Hit my deload point for bench. My first time deloading on it, I got super close to getting it though! :) This workout was from yesterday morning. :) Squats: 150lbs 5x5 Bench: 110lbs 5/5/4/4/4, after I deload and work back up I'm confident I'll have this at 5x5 quickly Rows: 95lbs 5x5 Oh, and to who asked about the warmup…

Nice! Way to commit. :) Glad to have you in the group.

No gifs? :'(

@Llama, sexy lady! Great progress, and I was actually going to inbox you that I love your new avi! You look incredible. :)

@massage, I had a donut for breakfast, going to eat stadium food for lunch, and taking my daughter out tonight for a Belgian waffle topped with a strawberry sundae for dinner. :)

Yeah, let's start one. I have some August goals. :)

LOL! That's exactly what I did! Like who does 4/5/5/5/5? Us. ;)

Have some ice ready for your butt too.

Last July workout was yesterday but I was too lazy to post. Squats: 150lbs 4/5/5/5/5 Mentally missed that last rep, I went down and I don't know what happened but all of a sudden I was on my knees so I dropped the bar back because even if I had gotten back up I wouldn't have counted it OHP: this is a deload, 70lbs 5x5 DL:…

Never order pizza with chorizo and garlic on it, unless you're at home.

I have a lock on my phone so my kid doesn't see my nudes or snoop on my phone, because, teenagers, you know? My girlfriend knows my lock code, but I'd be pissed if she was using/looking through my phone without asking me first. Yeah, I have nothing to hide, but sometimes my friends/kid/mom/who-the-****-ever have private…

I'm so glad everyone is participating! We have some badass women in the group! :D

Lol, yeah, back at grunting weight. Inzer belt, y u no here yet?

I hurt my back slightly and I deloaded on squats, DL and rows by a pretty hefty amount when I came back after a couple weeks. I'd progress on the weights like normal as long as you feel okay at those new weights right now.

Getting your elbows under the bar might help with what I think looks like a bit of forward lean in the 150lb video? Also, I agree with the wider stance. Okay, gonna link my squat videos then too I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9zOiVUc2pA&list=UUlN1FcZ5g8DFYyHjBRps0Pg…

@katro GIRL, you are looking amazing! Good work. :)

@krok, gen and modern, you guys all look great! Thanks for playing along with me and posting. :) I think it's awesome too for chicks who are just starting to out to see that some of us didn't start off as fit as we are in the progress pics thread. I know in my first SL progress picture I'm way thinner than when I first…

@katro, the second picture isn't showing up, but omg I love your outfit and tights and shoes in the first picture!

Was in a great mood, then some **** happened and I didn't get to see my girlfriend tonight as planned so I'm pretty bummed out. Good thing is I didn't get all "eat-y" over it. Anyway, this is from this morning. Squats: 145lbs 5x5 Bench: 110lbs 4/3/4/3/3 Row: 90lbs 5x5 Blah blah blah, saying thing, saying things.

The whiny B part put me over the edge girl. I let my ex talk to me like that for too many years. I'm not saying get divorced over it, but you need to stand up for yourself.

I teach swim lessons M-F and I'm in the pool anywhere between 4-8 hours a day, and I've been able to keep up with SL very well, even as the weights get heavier. I find the pool actually helps keep everything nice and loose. If you have a foam roller, definitely make use of it!

Gain weight. I'm 5'2" and weigh about 150 and don't look terrible. I currently am eating between 2000-2250 calories a day.

Oh, I do drink 2% milk. Well, technically I just pour it on my cereal because drinking a glass of milk is disgusting. Ew. I hate milk.

0/0 would not bang Seriously though. No. It's pretty much all gross.

@gen My back was tight and stiff feeling as well. If you can, get a couple massages and have them focus on legs and lower back. It felt amaaazzzziiiing. I still wake up tight and stiff in the back sometimes, but not sore now.
