Every little bit counts
Over the last few months I’ve found that I’ve rarely had the time to get in a real, full workout. To be honest, most of my sessions are only around 15 minutes and during that time I focus on just one of the exercises. I used to think that I was wasting my time. I mean, what good is 15 minutes and only 1/3 of the workout?…

Powerlifting Competition
There are so many beyond awesome women in this group that I'm surprised that I haven't heard about anyone trying a powerlifting competition. Has anyone considered it? I'm still just a super beginner but everything I've read about amateur comps says that they're really supportive and that you're only really competing with…

Any ex-vegetarians?
I've been a vegetarian for almost 20 years (started when I was 13). I was a vegan for about 5 years of that but went back to eating dairy and eggs. Now, for the first time in 20 years I'm considering going back to being a full meat-eater. Part of it has to be the weightlifting and just plain feeling like I need more food…

Taking a break?
So, I'm officially addicted. Last week I hit a wall with all of my lifts. I felt exhausted, sore, and so weak that I was struggling with what was supposed to be my warm-up weight. I chalked it up to a bad day and tried again a couple days later with the same results. So, I prescribed myself a one week break. It's been five…

Youtubers
So, because I'm obsessed, I've been binging on youtube videos of lifting. There are a ton of youtube personalities that focus on weight training but very few of them are women. There is ChelseaLifts who's pretty good but all the others seem to be focused on cardio or just being thin, rather than strong. Does anyone have…

Shoulder pain with squats?
When I get to the bottom of my squat I feel a sharp pain in my shoulder. It's almost like there's something rubbing against something that it shouldn't be. Of course I said it must be because of the bar position (I usually do low bar) so I tried different placements but it still hurts. It feels fine with just the bar but…

Still Active?
Hey, there. Are you guys still around? Or was the support in this group so good that you're all now perfectly adjusted, sane, fit and healthy? :)

Pilates on Off Days
I'm on my second week of the programme and am totally loving it. I've been thinking of adding pilates to my off days. I'm hoping that the breath work and stretching would translate to better form while lifting. Does this make sense or is this my own version of broscience? And, does anyone know of some good online pilates…

Cauliflower crust
Has anyone tried cauliflower pizza crust? I've come across a few recipes that promise that it's delicious but I'm having a hard time believing that :) I'm gonna try it out this weekend, but was just wondering if anyone had any experience with it.
