Hi everyone :) I hope you all had a wonderful Turkey Day :p. So I have been doing this program for about 5 months now. I am seeing such incredible changes in my body and strength. My posture is much better, my core is firmer, my legs and glutes look GREAT ;) (if I do say so myself :o), my...

Hi ladies! First I will write personals, then post my w/o from yesterday :). Jennifer Regarding the step aerobics class that was NOT supposed to be step aerobics :rolleyes:, I'm so impressed that you were able to accommodate the class and change the plans last minute! You really kept cool...

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving :). I have not been sleeping very well this week so my strength has been down :(. I was not able to increase at all :mad:. At first I was upset about this, but I've made peace now :). Great news: I AM GETTING A SQUAT RACK FOR...

Hi ladies! Sorry I did not come back from personals -- I have been super busy these past few days! And plus every time I went to write the personals, I would hit a key on my stupid laptop and lose the whole damn thing :mad:. GUESS WHO IS GETTING A SQUAT RACK FOR XMAS?!?! This girl, right here...

It all depends if I add the 10min beach work or not. Usually though, it's approx. 45min (including warm-up) to 1hr (with beach work). This also includes the rest periods (anywhere from 1min-2min -- between working sets). I foam roll at the end too, so that pushes me to the 60min mark. I'm ok...

UGH I lost a post this morning :mad: My w/o yesterday was: 1) 8x4R squats @ 90 & 95lbs. I tried 95lbs for the 3rd set and did very well. By the 4th set, 4th rep, I almost hit failure, so I dropped the weight back down. Perhaps I did not allow that much time for recovery or I'm just not...

Hi everyone! My w/o yesterday was EPIC :eek: 1) 6x4R deadlifts @ 115lbs!!!! I have not weighed myself in a long time, but this could be my own BODYWEIGHT! On a grand scale, I lifted a total of 2,760lbs (that's 115lbs x 4R x 6sets). I can't fully describe this feeling, but it was completely...

Hi everyone :) My w/o yesterday was CCC...but not really lol :p. I only did 1 round of the exercises and for the "core" I did jump rope instead (with an actual rope). Came out to approx. 25min and felt more like a hiit w/o. I truly think my dread for the w/o stems from the repetition because I...

I forgot to add... Colleen Which deadlift version are you doing? Are you doing straight leg? I'm doing conventional, where the bar is set on the floor (actually 2 steps w/6 inch on each side, to make the bar a few inches below my knee cap). The reason why I ask is because Cathe does NOT do...

I'm so happy you found the video helpful! Right now I'm doing a Nia Shanks program, focusing on purely strength with the basic compound lifts. I have just completed my 3rd month of the rotation, going into my 4th. My goal is to get really, really good at this one program, as Elliott has...

It was hard for me to stick to one program also. For the past few months I have really started to slowly change my "exercise mind-set". I feel very strong, focused, balanced, in a good place both mentally & physically. Implementing a lot of Elliott Hulse's tips has helped me tremendously. This...
