New Oly checks Pyrros Dimas style!
I filmed these after doing squats, presses and deadlifts. I stalled on my OHP at 120 pounds, but I did the most reps ever at 4 1/2. Close, but no cigar. 120 seems to be where I consistently stall on my OHP. I think I may have sprained my shoulder which may have made it more difficult to do these lifts. Here they are.…

Is anyone here a green thumb? I would like your ideas.
I have a rectangular shaped patch of dirt in my front yard between the grass and front porch and would like to plant something there. Preferably something that lasts year round and is not very common. Does anyone have any ideas?

Check these out.
I just barely found out about these. What this is is a Sots press; It's a press from the bottom of a front squat position. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tukae-BTRuU They were invented by Olympic Weightlifter Victor Sots who did these in order to improve his power jerk. Which he was one of the first to do. :smile:

Are there any personal trainers on here?
I'm considering getting a personal training certification so I can get a job as a personal trainer. I think this would be a good job for me because I really love working out and am unemployed and need a job. I was just wondering if any of you are a personal trainer, how do you like it?

Hey Girls I'd like a female opinion on something
So out of curiosity, do you prefer the big and bulky look on a guy or the bodybuilder fitness model look? Pretty much every girl I've talked to about this does not like the extremely over sized juiced up look.

Hi, guys! Just joined MFP
Hello, everyone my name is Vince. Been strength training for about 37 weeks now, but started working out about 2 years ago. I have been able to gain over 30 pounds! Just started tracking my nutritional intake as I eat too many cheat meals sometimes. The two books that helped me out the most were Starting Strength and…

Takin two full weeks off of lifting
So me and a couple friends are taking a road trip all the way from Denver to Orlando, FL where we will stay for a few days. Then we will drive all the way up to New York City where we will stay for another couple days. Then we'll drive all the back here to Denver. This should be interesting. :) Gotta do things like this…

How long have you been doing Stronglifts?
So I'm just curious how far into the program you guys are. I start week 38 today, but I had to take a break for a week or so here and there and sometimes I had to miss days. Today I'm working out at a powerlifting gym. They have bumper plates and chalk. Should be fun! :)

Went to a powerlifting gym yesterday
So I checked out this power lifting gym and pretty much everyone there seems to know what they're doing. It's all barbell stuff that they do there and as an extra bonus, they actually teach you how to do the lifts! One of the ladies actually yelled out that my hands were too much on top of the bar. lol It's a nice change…

Hello, everyone. Do you mind having a guy in the group?
Hello, everyone my name is Vince. Been strength training for about 37 weeks now, but started working out about 2 years ago. I actually started with linear progression on Mehdi's Stonglifts, but have switched over to Rippetoe's starting strength. I just started tracking my nutritional intake as I eat too many cheat meals…

This is probably the most I've eaten in one day
Or at least since I started keeping track. Here is my food diary from Tuesday: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/Amazing1985RSD?date=2013-03-05 I've been stuck at about 165 pounds for like 10 months now. I've been getting stronger, but not living up to my potential without enough calories. My new daily goal per day is…

Ate so much today
So I hadn't really realized how many calories I am able to consume until I started keeping track. Here is a link to my food diary from Monday: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/Amazing1985RSD?date=2013-03-04 I actually ate so much that I decided to go ahead and skip dinner. To clarify, I'm not trying to lose weight. I…
