Congratulations, that's awesome! I, too, was hungover this morning (odd work schedule). I made it halfway through squats, but I'm going to do bench and rows tomorrow and continue as usual on wednesday.

I have a couple different ones... Stronglifts: Nail down my squat form so I can start progressing to the really heavy weights Get past 45 on the OHP Deadlift my bodyweight (130 lbs) Just keep progressing on rows and bench Oh... and build some better safety bars so I feel better about going to my limit. My rack is one of…

I'm glad this group exists, you guys are all so motivating :smile: Squats: warmup, 5x5 55 lbs. I could feel my knees caving a little on the last set so I'm going to stay here next time, but my core feels a lot more solid and I'm getting lower. OHP: warmup, 5/5/5/5/4 40 lbs Deadlift: warmup, 5x5 115 lbs

Ditto to everyone who's frustrated at slow results. I feel like I've been working out for ages (not just the month or so I've been doing Stronglifts) without seeing much improvement in the looks department. Hopefully I can stay patient and the newbie water weight period is almost over :) Workout A today Squats 5x5 50 lbs.…

Workout B for me today. Squats: warmup, 5x5 45 OHP: warmup, 4x1 45, 5x4 45 Deadlift, warmup, 4x5 115 Still working on squat form. I did a lot of core work and hip/ankle mobility this weekend and it sees to be making a bit of a difference. I think my core is also the problem on my OHP, which I'm deloading next session.

Bumping for reference. I love swimming (got up to bronze star when I was younger) but haven't gone for years... but now I work right next to the pool so there's no excuse anymore :smile:

Today was Workout A for me. Squats: warmup, 5x5@45 Bench Press: warmup, 5x5@65 Rows: warmup, 5x5@60 I deloaded all the way on squats because I think my form has been off the whole time, but I only noticed when I hit 60-65. Per a suggestion in another thread I put some weights under my heels today, which helped a lot and…

I just started Stronglifts about 3 weeks ago and I've been having the same problem with my squats. Today I tried a wider stance and pointed my toes out more and could feel my glutes/inner thighs working a lot harder, whereas before it was all quads. I did have to drop my weight a bit since those muscles aren't as strong as…

Workout B today Squat: 5x5 65 lbs (Warmup: 1x5 25, 2x5 45) OHP: 1x3, 1x4 45 lbs, 1x5 40 lbs (Warmup 1x5 25, 1x5 35) Deadlift: 1x5 105 lbs :drinker: (Warmup 2x5 45, 1x5 65, 1x5 85) Last week I did squats at 70, but I felt like my form was terrible and the weight was just too much for me. So today I dropped back to 65 and…

Did Workout B Saturday: Squat 5x5 65 lbs OHP 5x5 45 bs - last time I thought 40lbs was too easy and I could definitely blow through 45? HAHAHA no. Really struggled on the last two sets, but I made it! Deadlift: 1x3 105 lbs. Hit failure on this one. I moved my workout up to today since I'm working mornings TTS this week and…

I do not envy you at all :P I did the Alpha round a couple months ago and felt like I could barely move for the first weeks or so; I can't imagine doing it along with lifting! Agree with everyone else, that's impressive! :drinker: Workout A today. Warmup, then: Squats: 5x5@60 - still working on finding the right stance for…

Mmmmm, cookies :) Decent weather this weekend meant lots of playing outside with the dogs. Also did a 45 min Turbo Jam video Sunday.... how I miss living in the city and getting an hour or two of brisk walking in every day just out of necessity. Workout B today Squats: 1x5 bodyweight, 2x5@35, 5x5@55 OHP: 1x5@25, 5x5@40. I…

Newbie post! I took a weight training class a few years ago at my uni gym, but was never really able to stick with it until now. I've been working out at home since January/February, first with cardio videos, then incorporating strength videos from Fitness Blender starting in March. I've been dying to get into heavy…
