    TGL - awesome to see these types of lifts being preformed... Your gonna have many followers... it's great to see the jump in female logs!

    Thank you ladies
    Thanks NACH! I'm happy to pay forward my experiences after all the information everyone generously helped me with when I started here

    And i definitely like using heavy compound movements. Plus, it's always a little gratifying when I can lift more weight or use better form than the dude next to me at the gym

    Exactly - lmao... That's awesome - for you to look over at a dude and be like wtf - are you doing lol

    Keep pushing! Set another goal for say 165 etc... Are you pausing your presses(since thinking about PL comps)?

    So I'm finally home after lifting, Spent the 4 hours after the gym at the mechanic and then quoting car parts. Not fun. so I was hungry and irritable. But now that I've eaten I am finally able to post about today's lifts

    My squats are feeling a little better now that I've gotten suggestions on some more stretches for my tight left hip flexor. But it's still an issue I've got to work on daily. Plus I got some new shoes. Since when did chuck taylor's get so damn expensive?!

    Squats
    3 sets of 6 - 145
    worked up to some singles of 185 after my working sets

    Sumo Deadlift
    2 sets of 6 - 190
    1 set of 3 - 205
    worked up to 2 singles of 250
    (I take a good few minutes to break between each set because they're each so demanding)

    And that's all I lift for leg day!

    and believe me, that's enough for me to need a nap lol. I finish with 20 minutes on treadmill then another 15 minutes at least to stretch. Taking that long to stretch has made a difference in flexibility (obviously) but it's also helped my muscles grow. Since I started making myself take the time to stretch I've been able to lift heavier and I've ripped through 2 pairs of jeans...That speaks for itself lol

    My weight was at 159.4 when I woke up this morning. I'm losing a little more fat, but I would more likely guess that my water weight is fluctuating.

    Take a look at the rumble roller and do some rolling of the hip flexor's, IT bands, abductors and glutes this will help a great deal with flexibility when squatting and you'll be able to get in a better position to produce more power in the seat. Its rather a painful roller but it really digs deep into your muscle and its done wonders for me regarding power, strength and flexibility

    Nach suggested the same, so I am gonna look at getting one of these rumble rollers. My squats have gone down so much and I would definitely say that its related to flexibility. Who knew having a desk job would make everything so difficult
