The Crazy Core Lady's Crazy Core Exercises
I'm all about core strength. I make sure to do accessory core work most non-SL days. To me, my core is the foundation of all that I do so I make sure it is strong. I do a mix of core exercises with dumbbells, resistance bands, kettlebells, cables, medicine balls, other equipment, and body weight. Some of my core stuff…

Next program after 12 weeks of SL
Okay, so I'm at the end of the 12 weeks of SL and while I like the program and made great strength gains, it is taking a bit of time at the heavier weights and I think it may be time to move to the next level. So for my next program I would like to keep in a good number of the compound lifts and add some accessory lifts.…

Following all the cool kids - Squat Form Check
I liked seeing all the other squat form videos and figured I could use some feedback from everyone. This is set 1 @ 120 (working weight for the day). I have some of my own observations in mind, but I would like to hear what else is said. Thanks! http://youtu.be/ZNXBlJ46-xU

Starting Weight for SL after other lifting plan?
Hi! I'm going to be starting SL next week and I was wondering if anyone with SL experience could offer some suggestions on starting weight. I know most people start at the bar for the majority of the lifts, but I don't know if it would be best for me to go that low considering where I am at this point. I've been lifting…

One of my goals has been to clean up the diet and eat more whole foods or meals that I prepare. I've also gotten into…

I haven't let it keep me from the gym and have just been modifying my grip/hand placement for various exercises. I'm going to start back into a…
