Momto4 - ideally I use my green smoothies post workout, as my carb replenishment, and then follow up about 30 minutes later with my lean protein - so think a pouch of tuna or salmon. It doesn't always happen that way of course. I aim to keep that many carbs earlier in my day, so if it gets to be...

Sorry for the delay fit44 - I've been at a winter conference for politicians and just got back. I KNOW - isn't it incredible what real, olympic squats engage and how different the mechanics are?! There's a reason it is called the king of all exercises - AND it engages something like 263...

I've had it just mixed with water and it's fine. But these days I add it to my green smoothie. I use about 8 oz water, handfuls of spinach and kale, a scoop of FD greens, and blackberries. Happy Happy!

YYYEEESSS!!! OK - a few tidbits. 1. My heavy leg day is Friday. 2. Every leg day involves SOME kind of squat and SOME kind of lunge. 3. I told you all after last week's leg day that I thought these moves were helping. I got my olympic squats heavier and with better form than ever before. 4. I...

That's almost exactly how I do them fit44, except I scoot to the edge of the bench and at the end where she is even with her bench, I drop down below the edge, pause for a conscious second to engage the lower back, and roll up as she does. Another option to start more slowly without the weight...

I am sorry to revive old threads, but I did say I'd share if these have helped my lifts. So far ... YES!!!! I am loving them. Only hitting them 1x week, but this last week I upped my weight to 65#, so there is some strength building in. I am also using them in conjunction with Cathe's 100 rep...

Yes, it totally suffices! (And I swear I'll never tell a soul about your RT addiction.) ;) MWAH!!!! Love you girl.

Hey Jean ......... ummmm ........... "several"?????????:p:p:p:p:p

HeeHee!!!! Fortunately, my "cheat meal" night is always on Friday - AFTER I've crushed legs. Sooooo, I think a half a glass of wine is definitely on tap for tonight. But perhaps having that glass while soaking in the Epsom Salts might prove the better option. HA.

Trying to keep myself accountable and on-track as I inch closer to my heavy lifting goal re: the squat. My trainer told me that today (Friday is leg day for me) we would be doing squats high reps. Her version was different than what I had anticipated. 10 sets of 10, down to an 8" box with...

I have her butt bible dvd, and I just wanted her to STFU! She talks too much. I use this dvd only as a warm-up when I do "fluff" leg work (I lift heavy on legs only 1x week, the other leg day is fluff legs.) It's ok, certainly not great IMO.

I also use at least the bar pad and sometimes both the bar pad and my weighted vest for cushioning. And fit44 ---> ROCK! IT! OUT! girl. WooooHooooo!

Hi Renee. CONGRATULATIONS on the smoking cessation! My smoothie: 8 oz cold water, a scoop of Pauline Nordin's Fighter Diet greens, a BIG ole handful+ of both spinach and kale, and 3-4 strawberries or blackberries.

Hey all. Yes, yes, yes, January brings our resolutions, but as you look back over the years to see how you have evolved in your own personal health and fitness journey, what are some of your fave evolutions? Things that you NEVER thought you'd do - EVER - that now are simply matter of course...

JEAN!!!! Mama I got 50 goin' on this year too. How did that post RT committment to your lean protein and veggies go? Is that what you mean is not working now?

Based on my BMI, my doc told me, looking at NOTHING else, that I am borderline obese. I found a new doc.

I think lioness's advice is very on target. If you choose to weigh everyday then you simply have to come to terms with the number being just a number and nothing more. Certainly nothing that can make or break your mood or in any way define your self-worth. I was once very upset by the number on...

Two other great supps -- liquid glucosamine (this is the kind I adore: Zand Glucosamine Berry 16 fl oz Liquid - Swanson Health Products) and hyaluronic acid will both work well with the fish oil. Do you belong to a gym or have access to a Smith Machine? If so, you can try vertical leg presses...

I HIT IT!!!! Did 'em! 4 sets of 10 w/ 45# barbell. S-L-O-W and controlled. This came after back day with trainerwoman, where I got my deadlift to 245. Couldn't quite do the 250. Dang! But something tells me I'll be having some serious back DOMS tomorrow. Ahhhh. I'll keep you posted if these...
