Hi everyone, Hope you all had a great weekend! We're returning to 'normal' life after the weekend, phew! I'm also looking forward to not having treats all day long. Blah. Just doesn't feel good. Happy to grab a spoon and hit the peanut butter to keep those fats up, though. ;) Tom, AWESOME job...

Hi Liberty! Congrats on your achievements! We're all here to support you on your journey. I haven't had time to read the entire thread but I wanted to respond with a couple thoughts -- apologies if I'm restating what others have said: 1) Great news that you love lifting! It's so essential for...

This one looks SO fun! I think it's my fave so far. I also like the look of this core segment better than the other, as there seems to be less neck strain.

Lisa, did I really neglect to mention that I had a BLAST doing Fitness Fusion? Great rec, thanks! (And great thread in the other forum, too.) I actually almost bagged it when I heard 'leg conditioning' at the beginning (in the list of what Cathe'd be covering), but glad I stuck it out! I was...

Awesome! Looks like I can grab a few DBs and do this one in my living room -- yay!

This looks great! I can't wait.

Karen, that's exactly where I'm at. Thanks for understanding. :) xo

I also LOVE RK!

Hi all, Hope you're all well! I'm marginally losing my s&%t due to a week of house guests. I'm basically a walking ball of ready-to-scream now. Justine, to answer your question, I guess I'm looking to gain some muscle (with the fat that comes along) then do a cut. The new e-book for women...

Awesome thread, thanks all for the ideas! :)

Hi all, Quick check-in here -- I've got five minutes of 'me' time and I'm going to spend it at the commando club! I worked out this morning -- I'm just going to give the general idea as I don't have time to look up the specifics on Adaptifier. All straight sets. Push presses something like 8 x...

Hi my dear fitness friends! Can I just say UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO stressed out about hosting Thanksgiving and I'm just letting it go to my head. I feel like such a mess! :eek: Guests haven't arrived yet -- arriving later today. I've prepped a fair amount so I'm not too worried about having...

OK, OK, I'm back for just a sec... Just want to chime in re: Adaptifier. I like that volume and density can also lead to PRs, but I don't like that there are stretches of time when I KNOW I'm making progress and the little 'progress' line is going down (e.g., today's front squats). Justine...

Hi all, Hope you're having great weekends! Yes, Lisa, I did a good Saturday! A productive one, that is. I'm rather overwhelmed right now as I feel I've got a million things on my plate and we're hosting family for Thanksgiving. So. Yeah. I'm stressed. But it's OK. ;) Great job everyone! I'm...

Hi everyone! I finally got around to chins this morning. 40 over 9 sets with longer sets at the beginning. Then barbell snatches, 6 sets, mostly triples, working from 65# up to 85#. Finally a superset of DB bench press (5x15 at 2x30#) and hanging knee raises (5x15). That's it -- saving some for...

Hi everyone, Yes, I also come for the chuckles! And sometimes it's just nice to have a moment's distraction from life. :) Justine, killer DLs. Tom, how are your arms still working after your recent shoulder workout? This morning I did a bodyweight (and minimal equipment) hodgepodge, just...

Good morning, commandos! Karen, you put me to shame. GSF2 squats followed by great glutes, RWH UB Circuit two days in a row then bench pressing 100x6 in a superset?! WOMAN!! Tom, I can't even imagine moving that kind of weight in side laterals, front raises, and reverse flys. I mean, those...

Hi all, Quickie check-in for me today -- I did Roman's Empire (it's LWF1 -- is that Roman's Revenge?) DBs under 30. Great. Kinda fudged the end as I was running out the door and my daughter was jumping on me during pushups. I think I need a rest or yoga day tomorrow. More often than not, I do a...

You did WHAT?! I'm going to go pass out on your behalf...

LOL, Karen, you didn't need to 'splain yourself to me! I don't quite have Lisa's Lucy streed cred, but I also had a Lucy-loving mom growing up! :) (Don't worry, Justine -- you're missing a few things like PB cups and I Love Lucy living in the UK, but that's about it.) Justine might even say...
