Thanks!

I have a funny victory, today I work and combined 13 hours between my two jobs and I got up at 2am to haul my butt to the gym before work. On deadlift/row day too. Thank goodness for...

5 x 155# squat yesterday, and 4 x 175# deadlift. :)

There is only one male trainer at my gym, and when I first saw him I honestly thought he was a slightly masculine looking chick.

Anyways, I was doing my deads in the rack tonight and the leg...

I pulled 145# for 3 sets of 8 today. I weigh 148 ish (I say ish because I decided to eff counting calories and cutting down for the summer, and just continue to build up a nice base.)

Wow there are some insanely strong ladies in here. I was ecstatic today to get 3 reps at 80lbs, unassisted. 2 more with a little assistance.

I ran it for a few months. Be very honest with yourself about your maxes, eat well, rest well. It's a nice simple program once you've done your log work at home before hitting the gym.

Not a rant, just some funny stories from today (leg day! xD) at the gym, both having to do with guys assuming girls are weak.
Two hilarious things happened to me in the gym today.

1) Was setting...

After a lot of thought I have decided not to cut down this year. I have seen some really awesome gains these last few months and I don't think I am mentally ready to stop building muscle yet. So I...

I went to a "soccer mom party" as I call them. I have a group of older friends that I know through what was original the lady I babysat for, but who has now become like an older sister to me. You...

Today I had 1754 cals, burned 505 in extra activity on top of regular amount of activity. Apparently I accidentally put in swimming twice so I'm at a 900 cal deficit, which is still a lot I think....

So I finished my first full week of calculated cutting. I raised my cals from 1550-1600 to 1600-1650 just due to the increase in exercise I'm getting. I'm thinking of raising it again to 1650-1700...

I came across this gem and this thread immediately came to mind haha. Enjoy!

I had two separate Easter dinners to deal with. Friday's went superbly, ate within my cals, was short protein but ate 40g extra the next day haha. Today I ate light, worked a very intense 6.5 hour...

Another day full of PRs!

Squat 135 x 5 (Big girl plates!!!), Deadlift 155 x 5, and then I ran a mile for the first time in my life thanks to my very supportive boyfriend, took 9 min 13 sec. What a...

147.0 this morning, phew! I made a promise that I would never see 15- again haha. Even if I was buff as all heck, that is still too heavy I think.

How I WISH I had started younger. I did gymnastics and track in elementary school, and while I wasn't super athletic as I was really underweight (89 lbs, 5'6" at 12 years old) I dropped any and all...

I decided to just go all in for this cut instead of dropping cals slowly, hopefully 16 weeks isn't too long. I'm 150 this morning (which is most likely my usual 147.5 + TOTM water). Aiming for 135~...

I do it. It makes me feel small and weak, but it just makes me work that much harder on it lol.

I feel really proud of myself, I set PRs in every single thing at the gym today. :)

Squat 130 x 5

Deadlift 145 x 5 (I had gotten higher weight before with this, but with HORRIBLE form lol)

You clearly didn't understand the point of my post. Not your fault, I am not the best at explaining my questions, and there have been a lot of weird threads in here lately.

Basically I don't want...
