Not sure what stage ur on since there is no bench press in 1 or 2. However when I used to follow SL5x5 I used the bench rack at the gym and did just fine without a spotter. Of course I had to be a bit more careful upping weights. If u don't have a bench press rack available ( the women's only gym i go now does not :noway:…

Same here, I follow TDEE-20% and have my macros set at 40/30/30. Some of the meals in the book are pretty good though :D

Thank you ❤:flowerforyou: ❤

Thanks ladies :flowerforyou: @ rduhlir, where is the FSPP thread.

Congrats and brag away :wink: it's very deserved. Amazing results all over !!!

Congrats, great strength gains and weight loss. Did u tale pictures for progress, I personally find them very helpful.

@ rduhlir congrats and amazing results not just for stage 2 but overall with New Rules

Hi everyone, new to this tread. I will be finishing stage 1 on Monday so started looking at the different exercises in detail for stage 2. I have some questions and could use help. 1) front squats look challenging but I am more worries about the push/press. Any advise? Did u use the Olympic bar or started lower weight? 2)…

^^agree More protein and fat also.

A trip to Jamaica and a bikin or two to show off all i worked for.

Agree MFP really should put a disclaimer or something in bold flashing colors stating its NET 1200 so eat ur god dam wo calls back. That should stop half of the 1200 cal post, the other half well that's another matter.

10 look very mysterious

When u are ready to have kids u won't much care about anything else. So till then stop worrying about it.

I am no expert, but I am not sure why you are unhappy with your results. You have both gained in LBM and lost BF % which is evident in the inches lost. So overall you probably look a lot leaner & cloths fit better then before starting the program. On top of that you are getting stronger. So its working and personally I…

I haven't looks at the meal plans at all. Pretty much skipped over it since I am doing IF. Try to keep my macros at 45/30/25 with 1800 cal goal. Not much weight loss but I can see better definition all over and getting stronger.

Wish I could say this, but I still end up going to the women's only gym to workout even when it does not have all the equipment I need. I totally agree, the Jackknife looks harder then it is. Great workout for core & balance. Enjoy stage 1, its a lot of fun especially once the # of reps decrease. I am on my last 2 wo and…

First date it's nice if the guy pays, but I will always offer to go half and hope he will say no. Not because I can't afford or anything like that but for some reason it just feels right. After that 50/50 or whatever. I personally insist to pay for either part or take turns. Its not about keeping count or anything like…

^^ This, nothing better to add

prefer treadmill over running outside as I find it much easier and less distracting trying to dodge ppl (no free space where I live), However since I want to race in a 5K and hopefully a 10K by end of this year, I will start running outside once the weather improves.

Pass

^^ this :grumble: Toronto, ON here

bump for later

currently at 105 for a set of 10 reps. Never tried my 1 max rep. Been real tempted to try but no spotter :((

why would you want to pass on spending time with your friends. Personally I would just ask them to have healtier options too or just bring snack i want to eat with me. Seriously you can not expect others to change their ways for you but you can control what you eat.

nothing wrong with having a beer once in awhile regardless if its light or not. Moderation is key and if it fits ur day enjoy.

^^^ This

Nope, If I am sick I rest and get better. Putting extra stress on my body when sick is counter productive but then everyone does their own thing.

scale is good advise, However if you are like me and don't want to use the scale for every single piece of food then eye ball it as best you can. You can log per grape ( i.e. 1 Red, Green, Purple Seedless grape is 3.4 cals ), do same for most fruits.

hum not sure why this post got so much negative attention, ok so some of the wording is off but still. To me, all the OP meant was for days that you have already reached your cal goal, whatever that is and still feel hungry here are some low cal meal options that will help. OP thanks for the post, I can see making a few of…

good one. short and precise, total win
