Squats are always fun and seem to be the easiest for me to PR right now.
Shoulder is actually feeling really good now. Woke up w/out any pain this AM, happy about that. I'm not going to go out and blow it though. I'll take it easy for a couple more weeks to make sure it's completely healed...

Hey and Welcome! :)
Welcome to the world of lifting heavy weights. There are a few programs you can check out depending on what your goals are. I've done part of New Rules of Lifting 4 Women (NROL4W) and I am currently doing Strong Lifts 5x5, both are great in their own ways. I prefer 5x5 at...
Hey girl, hope all is going well. Sounds like you have things under control. Keep up the great work!
I started working out fasted about a month ago. I'm actually enjoying it a lot! :)
No worries, glad to see you checking in! :)
Better than expected most days! :D
Yeah, it's part of the Strong Lifts program. It's not as bad as it seems actually.
Gluta-Tren is a recovery product made my ProMera. Between that and RecoverPro my DOMs have been next to nothing.
Quick update...
Today's Work-out:
Pre: 1.5 scoops Con-Cret Pineapple, 1 scoop Beta-Cret Pineapple & .5 scoop Gluta-Tren orange creme
Intra: Plain H2O <--- don't put flavored stuff in my camelback too much cleaning required.

Well the plan is that you up Squats by 5lbs every workout - 15lbs a week basically. Eventually that's going to stall, but for now it's been consistent. As are all the other lifts - except OHP, but I'm ok with that. Everyone stalls on the OHP it seems.

I can see changes in my calves and small changes in my arms. Mid section is a little slower, but it's coming along. I expect that by mid Aug I should see some better progress. I'll have to take some measurements. I keep forgetting.

Rode bike to and from gym (about 3 miles total). The ride there was great, warmed up my legs felt good .... ride home ...
Ha! Have I never mentioned that once I get on my bike nothing else exists, I end up riding until my legs are so tired they don't want to anymore. I can typically get close to about 20mi on the weekends. Easy peasy. I LOVE riding my bike.
Unexpected Thurs Bike Ride:
10 mi ~ 1 hr
Mostly in the dirt .. and I rode hard (<--- cracking up). It was an awesome ride, I had a lot of fun with it. Glad I went Even though it was 98 - I had a lot of water with me no worries.
