    ^srsly! This happens to me too. They look at me like I'm crazy, or the side eye for being in there. LOL. Ahh well whatever...

    It took me a lot of trys too, besides needing strength, it's also kinda scary.

    And I agree about the whole woman thing. It's funny, it can be hard to talk to other women in the gym. Even just saying hi - I guess I need to be more outgoing.

    I did see a woman on Saturday with INCREDIBLE back development. Even my bf, who is a bber, was impressed. I could see her definition from the other side of the gym. Never seen her before, or anyone even close to that.

    Training today

    Training was wierd, pretty tired today and a lot of lower back/trap soreness from Saturday. Everything was hard.

    Rows/chinups
    sets of 8/sets of 3-5

    OH press
    45x8, 50x8, 55x8
    * then moved to cleans. I don't know, form feels better, but could only get 105 up, tried at 115 and failed.

    handstands/raises
    did the shoulder taps again, need to move closer to the wall next time.

    TRX stuff
    pikes, planks, leg crunches etc...

    Good to know about the handstands! Yeah, at my old gym, I saw some buff women, but most of them were probably in there 40's and I was in my early 20's, so I never approached them. I keep hoping I'll meet someone around here around my age that can be my "friend". God that sounds horrible! But it's true. I would love to make some female friends that live near me and have similar interests. With my job, I work independently, there are "co-workers" but we all work on our own, and so you really don't get to know your coworkers. All my other friends live way too far away to get together with and I don't go to social things, so I never meet anyone. (I'm not a loser, although this post is starting to make me feel like one, lol). It would just be nice to meet someone who has similar interests and that would like to possibly hang out sometime.

    Hope your back feels better!
    I want to be the best.

    Hi.
    What is this heels up squat you speak of?
    I am looking for a replacement for hack squats- I have tried putting my heels on plates, but it is uncomfortable and I feel like it messes with my form, and doesn't isolate quads. Also tried closer stance on smith machine....BUT maybe I am doing it wrong!! Would love to hear about what you do here, thanks.

    Hi! I don't like hack squats either.

    I do put my heels on 25#plates. It's a pretty steep angle - 10# would work also. I feel it a lot in my quads and core, but if you don't like how it feels - don't force it. It might work with DBs. Either holding them, or put them up your shoulders. I used to do it that way a lot! and form felt great. I have a friend who loves front squats on the smith - so you might also try that.

    Thanks! Ooh, front squats on the smith!! Wil definitely try that. Will try different/bigger plates, too- I was using the 2.5 little guys, lol! So they felt unstable, and not as much of an angle. Can try with DB's too, but can't hold as much weight.
    Thank you!!

    Alright, so I have been trying to eat a lot, gain a little and get stronger. It's been going so/so and I think I want to try to set up a vague outline to have more specific goals to reach.

    *Disclaimer: I am a strength person - the best (and smartest) thing to do would choose a program. I would love any encouragement to do this. BUT, I probably won't.


    So,longer term goals are 2 plate squat and 3 plate DL. I think 135#bench, 200# squat and 280 DL by April are pretty reasonable. I think the key will be to try to keep the volume reasonable and make small, weekly increases. If I were to do a program, I believe I still have some linear gains left in me (ie. Starting Strength). So, a 5lb increase every other week for benching and squat, and a 10lb increase every 3 weeks for deads. I'd like for these to be easy, clean lifts - none of the form issues that I tend to have.

    There's 12 weeks until April 14th - or 12 Saturdays. I will probably DL and Squat on Saturday and bench on Thurdays. Not ideal, but should work.

    Diet-wise: I don't think I have the motivation to track atm, but I need to eat more. I'd like to be a solid 140-142 by April. None of this 136, stuff. So, this week the goal is to drink OJ, and protein after workout and also to eat a real dinner everyday (have only been snacking and having drinks).

    Thanks! Hopefully it'll work. I probably will cut - or at least change the diet up a little in April, definetly by May. I wouldn't mind being a little leaner.

    Great workouts for not really feeling 100%!

    No program advice (I agree with if you don't find one you are drawn to to create your own) but WOW impressive numbers! So awesome.

    LOL. I have never 'really' followed a program, although I recommend them to everyone, and I probably should. I'll accept the non-linear progression for ...whatever it is that I do.

    This site is incredible in general, but the article talks about "autoregulatory" training. I find this really fits me. http://www.myosynthesis.com/autoregu...-periodization

    Edit: This one gives more detail. http://www.myosynthesis.com/workouts...neral-strength

    Everything you'all say is true... starting to get used to the no braces thing - but teeth moved a little, so when I put the retainer in (wednesday), they'll be moving again. And I've been cramping a lot. Slept this whole weekend almost. I'm tired of being in pain.


    However, I did workout.

    Sat:

    Back Squats: up to 175 for sets of 3, speed sets at 95
    DB rows: 60sx8x3
    DB RDLs: 80x8x3
    Weighted chins: 15x3x3
    pistol squats

    Today:
    OH press: up to 60x5x3
    Cleans: up to 85
    pulldowns: up to 130x8/Raises
    TRX Handstands/ shoulder taps - moved in a bit. Finally, something I feel like I'm improving at.

    Hope that you are feeling better. Pain is just awful. I just got my braces off in October. I only had to wear mine for 16 months and I was so happy to be able to eat all that stuff I had to avoid.

    Glad you are feeling better.
    Nice workout!
    I am not doing well with eating either, as in I am eating too much! After today will even out a bit.
    Today I tried front squats on the smith. I loved it with just the bar but once I added weight couldn't hold the bar at my neck and turn the bar to unhook it at the same time. Bummer!!! So then tried heels up on a 2x4, and think that will be good!! Thanks for the suggestions.

    Friday Feb 17th

    Weighed in at 135 yesterday. LOL, decide I want to gain weight and I lose, when I want to lose I gain. Getting busier at work, so there's less time for other stuff... I want to DL tomorrow, so I will be getting in lots of food today (and not drinking).

    Training yesterday:

    BB Bench: 100x4x3, 75x12x3
    Assisted Dips: 18x8x3
    CGDB Press: 3 sets
    Pulldowns: 4 sets
    TRX stuff

    Today:
    Full body circuit: RDL, OH press, chinups, pushups, back bends
    Handstands: love these.

    Hot yoga tonight. Starting up yoga a few times a week again. I'm excited
