Aww thanks... My legs r the weakest in this forum! I just brought my squat up to my bench last month, and can still shoulder press more than that lol. Wait til u c the other girls' leg numbers... Put me to shame!
I'll trade ya part of my leg numbers for part of your ohp numbers any day!!!
Deal!!!
Lol if only that was possible! I felt like such a weenie last night struggling with 55 on ohp!
Trust me, practically passing out from squatting 135 twice is far more embarrassing! Lol![]()

I'm 6'3" 246lbs and I only squat 135lbs. I don't ever go higher due to my back. I don't care what anyone thinks about it. Not even sure if anyone does. I am just happy I can squat something. I get results too!
Dam gurl your one tall drink of the good stuff there.
With the volume that you do you could easily go to 1 1/2 grams of protein per LB of bod weight sista.
If you are loosing muscle mass then I would cut back on your volume seriously. You also might wanna start using a Weight Gainer supp. One of my favs is Beer LOL...But seriously you should look into them.
And of course if you like it giddyupgo on the 2% milk.
Whole eggs for you wouldn not hurt either. And mixed nuts but no penuts.
You may wanna try cutting back the carbs just a bit and increase the fats. That might slow you down in the metabolism some.
so now I'm just sad... i went to the gym tonight because i am feeling so behind... watching all of you progress while i sit around and do nothing... today was a free for all at work because it was our holiday party and i ate enough for all of us on here... so i went to the gym... i thought.. well i will just lift the bar and test my left side and see what happens... started with ohp... some guy comes up to me and says... man ur gettin small what are you doing???
i wanted to cry! I've lost about 9 lbs (after my binge today) and feel like i will never get all the way better to get back on schedule!
sorry just had to vent![]()
I'm so so sorry snipes!! I know that has to be extremely frustrating!! You have to heal though and make sure not to get worse or you could be taking much longer off and not because you want but because you can't do it!! I know it's hard!! Dont be sad. I think it's amazing you can still eat like crazy and still lose weight!! I know that's not what your after. Any way to work parts...lightly..until you've healed? Doing lightly would at least keep you around where you are/were. Is that possible?
So sorry snipes. Keep that sexy chin up. Heal. The tides will turn.
Snipes Im just going to tell you straight out. You are an intelligent beautiful strong women. Suck it up. Do what you have to do for you right now. And tell that ass hat to mind his own business. Use that crap to motivate you through pt and when you get back in the gym bust his ass.

Hey SG,
If you're really losing this kind of weight it's likely mostly diet. Not enough time has elapsed for you to have lost muscle gains solely from missing workouts. In addition, you're still lifting your legs. As long as you keep doing legs low volume high weight you can actually even continue to make upper body gains... Yes, gains. No, I'm not smoking crack.
When you lift legs heavy you pump out all the good hormones that help optimize your muscle gaining potential. That is, you make yourself anabolic. Keep doing your leg workouts. Do whatever little else you can (even if it's just training your grip strength). Even the most remote muscles send signals to your endocrine system to pump up the volume. Your blood in turn touches everything, so even if it's your legs causing the increased hormone secretion, your upper body will benefit.
Also, what are you doing for this pinched nerve? Are you sure it's a pinched nerve? If so, are you doing all the anti-inflammatory stuff? I've found even just arnica gel (you can get it at any health food store or CVS) works really well to keep local inflammation to a minimum.
Then, yes, optimize your nutrition. It sounds like you've been doing great on this but google "anti-inflammatory" foods and try to incorporate some of this. Fish, good vegetables etc can be good for all of this. Most importantly eating well will keep you from feeling like crap which will keep you from feeling sorry for yourself eating bonbons on the couch. This is a setback -- not the closing scene.
We are all here for you. Get creative. I'm sure there is a ton of stuff you can still do but it's gonna take some innovation (one thing you might consider doing is splitting your leg day into two days -- one with glute and ham focus and the other with quad focus... Also, if you havent already seen a physical therapist I highly recommend it -- those peops are the only reason I can still walk!)
Good luck, sista. Don't talk to loser punks at the gym. They're all jealous anyway.
