Victory: PB on smith machine glute bridge

Challenge: I can't do a front squat to save my life. I can do the movement but I'm very boney with an exposed clavicle (lol i think that's what the big bone is called lol) and it hurts even on the smith and the pad is to big. I try all the time and look like a freaking idiot when i do it lol ... Any advice? I've even streamed videos of people doing them to see what im doing wrong and I'm just guessing I'm just to small on top.

I ran for much longer on the treadmill , really enjoyed it, for the first time ever, and choose to run for 35 mins . I can feel I am becoming fitter and stronger, and have lost 4.4 lbs this week whoop whoop so happy as my motivation was lagging .

''Challenging'' for right now >> My gym is undergoing some renovations, which will be very cool when completed, but while they're going through them, it's a bit cramped, the actual weights area. Not the end of the world, but the gym serves as a sanctuary for me of sorts, and it's been not so much that, these days. Meh, shouldn't complain. The end is near, should be completed by end of month.

the torture... is that I just found out I have patellofemoral syndrome and I've been ignoring it for years! I use to exercise improperly for too long. so my physiotherapist has reduced me to walking and low impact aerobics that don't use my knees (punching combos, side steps, etc).

I was kind of dreading it, thinking it wouldn't be a fun workout, but I made a routine earlier today based off some videos I found and it was actually a good work-out and I still broke out in a good sweat. I was happy! no pain either which is a plus... 60 min. Going to do another session/walking later plus training and her specific physio exercises she has set out for me.

I'm a newbie at this strength training but I started squatting the bar which is 45 lbs on Jan.1, Jan. 18 I just squatted 100 lbs! I know to a lot of people that isn't much but I felt very accomplished I'm hoping to squat my body weight in the next 2 weeks or so...

Double victory this week, 10 decline push-ups. convinced my mom to join me at the gym tomorrow. Yush!!!

[miche77esru]

My goal in 2015 was to bench press 100lbs, and I did it! Next goal is bodyweight!

[ain5053]

Did FOUR chin ups on my own! Followed by another 2. Followed by 10 assisted. Now I need to be learn how to do wide grip pull ups.....

[Kaigypsy72]

Finished second week of Jamie's training schedule despite my knees giving out so no leg work. Sleeping better!

[Gaia2303]

Yesterday on bench press I realized I was warming up with what used to be my max. That was a good moment!

[michellelea77]

super newbie here, but i've finally stuck to my routine for 6 weeks! previously i'd hit about 4 and have no motivation :/ but something is different this round..

plus i can lift more weight than ever! not a lot yet, but i can't wait to see what i can do in a year

semi failure: i can't seem to make myself get up early to do it in the morning. working on it. not a necessity, but would free up more time in my evenings!

Finally got past a wall on my OHP and managed to get 5/4/4 at 60# (don't laugh I'm new!). Felt good though!

I'm on vacation, the hotel doesn't have weights in their fitness center....I went to Target and bought a set of dumbbells so I can keep up with my program this week.

[whatevergirl]

I've been through two injuries this past year, the most recent being sciatica. It lasted for roughly 4 months and just started getting back to deadlifts and squats. I'm following strong lift's 5x5 now and happy to report that last night, I was able to lift over 100 lbs for a deadlift, which is the most I've been able to DL in 4 months! Excited about this, because I think I've turned the corner with that injury now.

Victory: got to add the 45lb plates to the bar for squats for the first time!

Failure: got off the elliptical without stopping it completely and the pedal shot back and nailed me. Hello ankle the size of a softball!

congratulations! youre a woman now.

[cmb42]

Last night I deadlifted 65kg (143lb) 2 sets 5reps only 3kg off lifting bodyweight

[jsari23]

Deadlifted 135# x 8 last week
Been working up to bench pressing the 40# dumbbells for weeks and finally this week was able to for 8 (with a spotter) they werent the prettiest presses though

[Flexista]

3/3/3 benching at 95 lbs (25 lbs on either side). I know it isn't much, but just a couple months ago I had to yelp out to the nearest person for help cuz I got stuck. Of course, it was the biggest guy in the gym, and he looked a bit confused as to why I needed help lol.
