Awesome work, everyone! Justine, I think my sessions have gotten shorter since I started GSF2. Part of it is that I definitely have gotten better at testing... I can really feel when my hamstrings start to shorten. I no longer use full range of motion off the step, although it was definitely...

Lisa! GREAT WORK on your workouts -- but what's new?? I love the original Drill Max, so I'm glad to hear that the Live version doesn't disappoint! Yesterday I had a pretty 'blah' squat session. Short. Then some walking and yoga. I've been feeling a little under the weather, like I'm fighting...

Look at you all, killin' it!! Justine, AMAZING first GSF workout! I know, they feel LONG. I cut mine short if I start to feel too much dread for the next eighteen sets. Tom, killer DLs! Karen, rocking as always! Elsie, chime in all the time! Yesterday was squats -- it was a blah day, so it was...

What was I thinking...? Still feeling yesterday's deadlifts and chinups, I went for Julia Ladewski's 'Fight for Your Right' from LWF1. Just, ouch. I used two 15# DBs so it was definitely metabolic but I had to take so. much. rest. In the best way. It took nearly the full 30 mins. Karen, I...

Karen, like Lisa said, you c'mon over any day! Lisa, like Karen said, you do have a wonderful family! :) Karen, my daughter's almost two, so we're doing OK, sleep-wise. I'm sure she'll change her mind about that eventually, so I'm loving the 7 hours while I can get 'em! Lisa, great job on KCM...

Nice -- keep us posted! :)

Awesome, LadyLep! Have you tried the GGs HiiT workouts (I think they're in the PDF on conditioning)?

Karen, you bring the brownies. We'll have a festival and call it Ironstock!

Omg Karen, I would die at 1200 calories. Tom, if you get desperate, there are more and more states now that will give you a 'special' prescription that will have you pounding whole large pizzas in no time flat, LOL.

Hi, Lisa! Great workouts!! I love GS BSB. Today was GSF2. I did a LOT of deadlifts (mostly triples at 215#). Then chinups in the 3-5 rep range and a superset of Kroc rows and straight legged situps. I was going to do some LWF2 for a finisher, but I was just so spent -- I did a little playing...

Yeah, Tom, to echo what Justine said, don't underestimate the importance of carbs! Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sort of assuming you get enough protein. I heard (I think it was Alan Aragon) that, while research doesn't agree about how much protein can be beneficial, there's NO research that suggests...

Oh, that's perfect. Thanks, Elsie. I'll try her doing that with a light resistance band. Thanks, everyone, for your support!

Awesome, thank you for all the excellent/evil ideas! :D

Thanks for your input, Elsie! Do you think the horizonal and vertical pulling (one-arm band rows and band pull-downs) cover rear delts, or do you think some additional rear delt work (e.g., flys with light DBs or band) would be a really beneficial add-on? I'm trying to take a minimalist...

I was going to suggest walking. Walking is great. Why not try 2 weeks of STS and walking then reassess? (This is assuming you enjoy walking, of course.)

Killer, Justine! That's 150 deadlifts! NICE! :D BTW, I might try doing a smidge of squat work every day. Not all weighed, of course. Apart from bodyweight squats and one legged squat and lunge variations, what's good squat accessory work that won't hamper recovery?

Thanks, Justine. You're right about rep ranges. Good call. Yes, she already walks, which is great. She does need some strength work for her continued wellbeing. Thanks to everyone for the awesome feedback!

Thanks, Karen! This is very helpful. You're right, I'm going to start her with band pull-downs.

Today was UB GSF2. One arm push press, suspension trainer inverted rows and face pulls, and Russian twists and band pull-aparts. Then did The Primal Countdown from LWF2. Awesome and mean. Used a 75# BB and subbed rollouts for bear crawls. Biofeedback's a b#&ch when barbell thrusters are the...

Hi Lisa, Great job on GS CT and Circuit Max! I've never done the latter, but will definitely put it on my to-do list! Thanks SO MUCH for your happy foot wishes. They're certainly doing the trick because I'm feeling MUCH better. Today I did GSF2: one-arm DB push presses, superset of of...
