Jo-I'm sure this scan will be better :). Hope the moving is going well. Manic-ironic!! You'll be in great shape though :) Beeps-so glad the work is picking up! And good job on the workouts too. Dawn-3 weeks! Wonderful! You'll be ready and kill it! Kutgw! I'm down with a bad sinus infection, no gym for me. I feel terrible…

Pmag-good to see you!! 4"? That can't be right? And you've been off lifting for 10 months! Really? Crazy! Glad you're back to it! Hope you like strong. We've missed you! Dawn-dang girl! Great lifting! Love the progress! Woot! Jo-that's some impressive weight lady! And no back squats for a while and you hit that? WTG!!…

Jo-glad you found a renter. Sorry about the muscle loss. Already? Hope not! Also sorry no combat!! Noo! I know you love it. :( Beeps-yay for work!! Boo for soreness :(. Hope your week goes well. Manic-sorry for your soreness too, and I'm with Jo, what's a bird dog? Must be that kind of week, I'm sore too! Very odd for me.…

Dawn-I've done the roll of shame too. I don't have a regular spot so I haven't pushed progress on the bench. I should try to though, it'd improve my range of motion (I stay more shallow when I'm alone too). I also noticed when I upped my carbs I did better lifting. Could be why that day was rough. I thought the guys were…

Manic-woohoo!! Go girl! So glad you're back at it!! Hope you're feeling good :). Jo-moving?!? With your overly full plate? Eek! Hope things go smoothly!! Beeps-good job. I really hope something good comes through for you soon! Come move to AZ, we don't do the clock change thing ;). Dawn-killing it as usual. Boys from work?…

Dawn-yay! Glad everything came in! A pink belt? Cute! 4" is a lot on your tiny frame. Hope it becomes more comfortable and gives you added support on those heavy lifts! You're one strong and committed chick! Go girl! Jo-you're making me miss combat! Don't over do it in that deficit...I'm finding similar challenges and…

Yes, I miss dna too!! Great lifting ladies! I'm down to 3x/week right now, but liking it that way. I'm on a decent deficit and down 2 lbs finally!!!! In my phone so ill bbl . Take care all!!

Welcome Rosie! It took a few months before I could see any changes. But don't give up! The scale will probably go up, especially initially, don't let it frustrate you, hang in there with it., strong is awesome!! Dawn-cook that you're ordering things..singlets? It's coming up! Kutgw!! You've got this!! Hope the bar pad…

Dawn-great job on the lifting. Sorry your hand is acting up :(. Try the brace and see if it helps. Enjoy your days off! Beep-hopefully your daughter will be excited to go with You! Good job on stage 3!! Stephie-wow! LC really agree with you! WTG! It worked great for me 11 year ago, and over the years more or less, but not…

That's so cool about your Dh! Neat! And WTG on the push ups! I can't do that at all!! Great job!

Pudding-that's wonderful!! Same weight, 2 sizes smaller and strong!! Great job girl! And yay for sore glutes! Beeps-that's wonderful about your son. Love it! I completely disassembled and restarted my squat last year too. Bad form and compressed disc was a bad combo. And I lacked depth. Even now as I'm adding more weight…

Great lifting ladies! Glad to see you guys here!! Doing well, adding 15 boring minutes on the stair climber after upper body lofts this morning. Really want to shed some fat, stupid efficient storage body :(. Trying to keep it in perspective, I've come very far, but still not quite "done". Slow, and steady...keeping up…

Count me in the low volume high weight group too! Higher reps are icky! The hypertrophy days usually morph into power days for me :(. Sue-I hate that too! Good for you working out, hope you sleep well tonight! Kim-my girls are 15 and 12. We're doing 3 days London, 4 days in Paris, 3 days in Rome and 4 days in Florence…

HI guys! I've read but won't try to comment on all at I missed! Dawn-yes! A pad is so needed for WHTs! You're kicking tush girl! Kutgw! Beeps-ugh! Feel better! Mary-you too! Follow the dr's orders and you'll be back in the gym soon enough. Kim-good job on the running! I'd die! Jo-good job! Sam-feel better! Mme-sorry you…

I used to love them but found the "reformulated" bars dry and not nearly as good!! I wish they'd go back to the original version! Used to love the double chocolate chunk one all melty!!

Stephe-(((hugs))) that sounds stressful! Hope the new place works out! Enjoy this week!! Kim-skiing is hard work! Glad you had fun and are settling back in! Beeps-glad you're feeling better! Hope the lifting keeps going ;). Dawn-yay! Wish I lived closer!! I'd come!! Hope the new routine comes together for you!…

Beeps-Glad you're back to the gym! And hopefully feeling better each day. Dou-sounds like a good plan. Squats and DLs are important to keep doing, I'd do the same :). Hope you're feeling well! Dawn-they may be short, but you've got some strong legs! :) let us know when you sign up (I think you'll do April...and maybe…

Mme-WHTs are weighted hip thrusts. Hard to describe, but the are good videos online. Great butt workout! That workout you did sounds exhausting! Good for you! Dou-congrats on finishing supercharged!! So sorry you're not feeling well and the blood in urine? I can't imagine deadlifts would impact that? Sounds more like…

Youve all been so busy!! I'm so happy to read all these updates!! I'll try to hit everyone! Stephe-i was LC for 11 years! Ive got oodles of recipes. Look up Linda sue's LC recipes. A great site with so many recipes. Hope you feel better! Sue-philly is NOT known for health food :) . Now that you're home and getting back…

Jo-sounds like a good plan! Dawn-that's a lot of weight and reps on your front squat! My wrists don't like it and I'm not that heavy on them. They are good for working on my upright posture though. I need to try the crossed arms technique. Just did upper body hypertrophy. Added reps to most but not weight. Lateral raises…

Manic-((hugs)) that would be rough!! Hang in there. You're healing and will be back to the gym soon enough. Jo-that stinks! I didn't realize changes happen that fast? Bummer! You're still lean and thin, though! I had setbacks last year combined with vacation eating and even without having a dexa scan, the scale and my…

Stephe-hope the dr goes well! My wrists hurt after front squats, I'm gonna try the cross arm thing too. Jo-glad it's not just me with my OHP! Kim-I'm in a similar boat. I'm 5'6" and got up to 174lbs after vacation and the holidays. :( I'm finally down 4 this year so far. But I was stuck forever!! Added some cardio and…

Dawn-still envious, fail or not. I managed 70lbs for my bench!! 3x5! Big for me, haven't been able to get that high yet! My OHP is stinky too! 55 :(. I'm such an upper body wimp! Sorry the cage isn't working. Can't you adjust the racks? Bummer. Hope you can find a solution. I think you'd do great in a competition!! Where's…

Sam-good job! Kutgw! Kim-ooh, you'll have a fun time! It's funny to think of Europeans being excited to visit the US. I'd switch with you :). Are you goi to visit Walt Disney World? Love it there! Beeps-nice. Love WHTs! Mme-I agree with beeps. Not a big warm up fan either. I do a warm up set on compound lifts of just the…

Great job 7!! Lines rock!! Dawn-empty gym? I'm jealous! If I go in the evening I still see the resolution crowd. Mornings are so much nicer! Kim-great job!! WTG!! Beeps-you too!! Mediocre is better than not at all! Pudding-you're doing great, just keep lifting Mme-sorry you weren't feeling well, glad you're on the mend.…

From what I've gathered, the repair work down outside the gym (at rest) is as important as what you do in the gym. That said, a split really helps get most body parts hit twice a week. Rest also helps you lift week in and week out, without burning out the first few weeks. :)

After was a million times better than before! Follow the Drs orders and you'll be healed in no time. Just don't overdo it too fast. They'll tell you what to eat for a while, low fat I believe until the bile duct takes over. It will go fine :)

You guys are rocking it! Great work ladies! Jo-listen to your body. Rest is as important as the work in the gym. Beeps-enjoy your weekend! Rocky-how much alcohol? Eek, Stephie-I bet you look determined and focused at the gym. Sam-love your Sunday ;).mlove that your form is spot on. Hang in there! Life sounds crazy! You're…

Great to see you all lifting and posting!! Keep it up! LONG weekend of volleyball, 3-days of back to back tournament days. Ate crazy food at crazy times, so expect the scale to be up a bit tomorrow. Got a decent lifting session in this evening, upper body. The gym was crowded so I did bench at the end which is not…

Dawn-it'd be worth looking into for sure. Keep us posted. Glad the new gym is working out. Beeps-great job on the interview! Hope it pans out :). Sam-sorry for the tight hips. Hope you can stretch and rest today. Kim-great job!! Impressive girl!! Rest days for me. Lots of watching volleyball and cheering. Painted some wine…
