Wow, you've done a great job Congrats on the weight loss. I've been working out fairly regularly. I'd like to lose 15-20 pounds. I've mostly stuck with strength training, but I've been incorporating some running a few times a week. I also recently bought myself a kettlebell to use on the days that I want to workout but don't want to go to the gym. I love it

Did squats yesterday for the first time in months.



Can someone please invent that magic pill already???

I've learned that the only way to not get insanely sore from squats is to do them regularly. I had to take a break from working out all together when I was sick for about a month. When I went back to the gym, I tried to squat. I felt great. I squated what I'd done before with ease and even added on a few pounds. Next 4 days, BRB can't walk up or down stairs, can't sit on the toilet without nearly falling down, ass cheeks hurt everytime you sit down. Hell naww, I make myself squat at least once a week now. I don't want soreness like that again

Yeah...doesn't help that I (purposely) didn't warm up properly beforehand.

But I did maintain proper form (I think). Definitely will try to do it al least weekly.

Legs are the hardest to work!

I have fucking huge tee trunk legs and i am for the first time in ym life satisfied with them! i started by losing a lot of weight in them and not gaining muscle in em and they fianlly look decent so i am happy about that

My trainer makes me do shit with my legs i never thought a 6'5 man could do... but boy i was WRONG
