@dawn16 There were definitely a few days where I had a really big deficit in terms of calories. Yeah...no. The workouts would take a really long time because I was resting a lot in between sets. I think you can see from one of the workouts I linked to that I was at the gym for nearly three...

@brianhex I'm guilty of thinking that women who lift heavier than I do are secretly looking at the weight I'm lifting and laughing / judging me. Absolute rubbish of course, they care as much about what I'm lifting as I care about what others are lifting.

@dawn16 Well, I hope you don't get your heart broken anytime soon, can confirm it's hard as hell and that being in love / being in a good relationship is vastly preferable to doing two workouts a day so that you're so exhausted you can't think.

@alwaysjesus Überwomensch, obviously! (I, uh, may not speak actual German). Thank you :)

@peterh99 Be proud of yourself, woman!

@peterh99 FTFY

@misskayla That's honestly hard to say. It took a few years, definitely, and I was getting sober in the process and rebuilding my entire self of self esteem from the ground up. I also had the benefit of having grown up in a sporty family, so some of this was a sense of 'rediscovering' my...

@alexhunting In terms of EMOMs, I'll often do it as a burner or finisher. For example, if I do deadlifts, I'll do a 5 x 5 at, say, 85 or 90kgs. Once I've done that I'll a traditional 10 round, 10 rep, every minute on the minute of deadlifts at around half of that weight. On Sunday I did a box...

@onlybyfaith Oh, thank you!

@hlb God, my levels of self confidence just soared as I became more fit, and then even more after a did a cut and had striking muscle definition and really looked the part That confidence has really translated into a mindset of being fine with giving anything physical a go. There isn't a spot...

@stalinlazer Yeah, the whole situation is just such enormous fucking bullshit. I enjoyed writing it, glad you liked reading.

TL;DR: I worked out a lot over the holiday season and it was both good and bad. Enjoy! After the heartbreak I found myself enduring at the end of last year, I found myself dreading my annual leave time over the Christmas break. The man who had purported himself to be one of my dreams, a man to...

@luigari My best lift, thanks!!

@frbrian I'm 38, have been lifting for four years, 18 months seriously. Lifts are 1RM. Bodyweight: roughly 140-145lbs Height: 5'7 Bench: 150.7 Deadlift: 236.5 Squat: 205.7

@cheapwifey You told a woman which words to use about her own body and why she can't use the one that she chose. You can't tell people what they're allowed to think about their own bodies and expect that to fly.

@cheapwifey Why does it have to be a positive word? Not every woman, including this one, feels positively about having full hips or a large cleavage. That sort of figure isn't a goal for me in any way. Also, I just finished a three month cut and lost 10.5kgs. For about half that time I ate...

Considering the way that female gymnasts have been sexualised in the past and the horrific crimes of Larry Nassar in the United States, I think this is a fantastic step forward. I hope that other countries take this up, or at least give female gymnasts the option of wearing a unitard moving...

@jsmithcavs 50 Shades of Squats

@_marc97 Recomp definitely works, I'm living, walking proof of it. However, the recomp I did three years ago was over the course of a year, and I was eating 1gm protein per pound of bodyweight, and lifting heavy five to six times a week. it's a long and slow process. If you're looking for...

@wanderedhome Well done, you're amazing!
