Instead of telling him when he can come to the gym, why don't you just tell him that you work out much better if you aren't disturbed during the workout and are finding the questions about your workouts demotivating. There seems to be a much better solution than you guys having to work out at separate times.

Btw, don't think of it as humping the bar. Just dragging it up your legs to thigh. I accidentally pulled back a bit at the top of a DL at 185 and got a twinge in my back that has persisted for 2 weeks and made me deload my squats by 35 pounds.

I'd say 11 going for...11. lol, actually going for a 5, but perfectly fine being at an 11 too.

Since you are fairly active at work and I'm sure already do a ton of squatting down and leaning and picking up heavy crap, I wouldn't even worry! The weights start off pretty easy, and my shoulders and knees used to crack but since I started lifting I haven't heard it happen. Correlation doesn't equal causation, but damn…

That legitimately made me tear up, loved the video AND song. Thank you!

I'm into the wimmins so I'll answer too. First thing I want to touch is the butt. "So hot, want to touch the hiney." So favorite attribute is a nice backside, and second is dark eyes and thick, dark hair that I can wrap my fingers in.

You could lose a ton of weight overnight by telling him to shove off.

This is exactly what I was going to say, along with what the other poster said about practicing in a wet suit. If you are already nervous about breathing in a pool, the open water is going to be VERY unnerving. The water is choppier, especially with other swimmers around you, everyone will be close. Try to go in the last…

I workout in the morning, usually mostly fasted (I drink coffee with protein powder, almond milk and coconut oil in it). Sometimes I'll have a homemade protein granola bar or a banana, I have had a pop-tart before working out once...lol.

Sooo...I tweaked my back July 1st, did a workout on the 4th but an easy lifting day...no SL. Lifted on the 6th with decent numbers, 150 squats 5, 5, 4, 3, 4...95 bench and row 5x5. But then came the 8th. A week after I tweaked my back. I woke up and didn't want to go to the gym, I wanted to sleep in, but I got up and went…

@mary Of course it'll be a little hard to judge since you're on the smith, but just what I noticed is that it looks like you are leaning a bit forward when you come up and look off balance. When the weights get heavier it might throw you off, you're gonna want to come up with your weight on your heels. Don't look down when…

It's on Droid. Medhi says Apple is coming soon. Probably waiting for approval or something.

On the SL5x5 android app, Medhi has it to where you can upgrade the app to include a warmup routine too, I use that. Much less volume than the one suggested by the website you posted. I would be exhausted...lol.

Twinged the lower right side of my back on Tuesday of last week (last rep of dead lifts), so Sunday was my first day back lifting heavy again. I could feel it on squats, and I think that is why I struggled a bit on my sets. Also, my form is tweaked a tiny bit, so still getting used to that. Squats: @150 5, 5, 4, 3, 4 lots…

4,351 calories 377 carbs 209 fat 148 protein 7,218 sodium LOL This was the day after 4th of July actually, a very delicious day.

I don't use a spotter and I've been fine. :) Also, any program you already start before you get pregnant, you can continue into pregnancy. Although I'm sure with slight modifications depending on circumstances of the pregnancy.

@gen I do underboob rows. Lol

I rest. Lol. :)

Lol, I'm so immature. I was like "Ha...nipples..." But anyway, I go just above, I guess under my clavicle? Between nipples and clavicle. Also, everyone's nipple line is going to be different depending on size of boobs and nipple placement, right? lol I have a slight arch in my back, I prefer it. ETA: I lied, definitely…

PS. The OP is asking about weight loss advice and anecdotes, not marriage advice.

I'm not going to give you marriage advice, as I am going through a messy go of it myself, however let me just say that I lost 30 pounds with an non-supportive spouse. I was even working, and doing 100% of the housework, child raising and going to school. Now I know I wasn't working 4 jobs like you are, so I had an hour…

I'm drinking one right now, Smoked Porter by Stone Brewing.

HAHAHA, yes. Probably why I don't have any friends. People can only take so much "advice" (read: gushing about results) and complaints about having to buy new clothes.

If you feel there was a form breakdown then technically you didn't complete the rep, know what I mean? So my rule of thumb is that if I feel that my form was off to a point of possible detriment, I'll count it as not completed which means I repeat the weight. If it was just very difficult, or my form was slightly off (but…

I wish I could do it because my one meal would be EPIC. However, I just have to settle for two semi-epic meals.

Oh the lulz!!

Boo. On Tuesday I killed it a little too much. I got a twinge in my back on my very last DL rep. I was hoping the day off yesterday would be enough, but it isn't. Taking the day off today from lifting, since I still have 8 hours of lessons to teach...not like I'm not working out. :/ Hopefully tomorrow I wake up fine.

Brutal is an understatement, but I LOVE my foam roller. After I hate it while using it...lol.

I love smoothies, but I can't use them as a meal replacement. I would still want to eat something after drinking it. I tried it for a couple weeks about a year ago and it was a no go. lol

It's your money and you should do whatever the hell you want with it. Also, don't sneak out, leave quietly as to not wake him up but you shouldn't have to sneak as you are a grown woman.
