I am getting plenty of information in this forum so STOP TALKING like the forum admin, I can write threads and post as needed, if someone tells you they left the conversation it mean they have no interested in talking anymore. You have reported it is time for you to leave my thread FOR GOOD. I have no time for nonsense posts.

Nonsense posts? Are you talking about yourself? All iv seen so far is how lazy you are and how you claim to be educated but you’re not…
And Yes , you can “write threads” and “post as needed” but if you keep acting the way you act, i doubt anyone will want to help you. And Well it seems like I’m the second person to leave your thread already then. You are in serious need of an attitude adjustment. I hope you get yourself sorted, best wishes to you.

I won’t be reading more of your nonsense, this thread is a training journal you are off-topic. However any poster who think I am lazy or do not agree with my training, are more than welcome to leave this thread, I never stopped anyone nor will I.
I will continue to train and make a slow steady progress because I know when people like me train, stupid people get upset about that and continue to HIJACK their training logs because they are trying to INSTIGATE.
It won’t happen, because I won’t read and I never got influenced when I read anyway. Haha.

Today’s workout was good since I somehow have a tight schedule, I completed it and posted my log until next Saturday. I made an extra progression in squat and deadlifts because the weights were not as challenging. I am now at my 60% 1RM in squat and deadlifts.
G’day Wintergirl, just looking through the log and picked up on a few things and have a couple questions.
I assume you are back squatting. Do you always lift the weight off the floor to back squat or do you have access to a squat rack?
Is the 11kg how much you ADD to the bar or how much the TOTAL bar weighs?
I (like many other people here) am pretty puzzled about your lack of strength for a 150lb woman who has been lifting on and off for 10years.
Could you elaborate more on the stresses in your life?

GD to you too
Minimal squat rack or even holders can handle the Olympic barbell (20kg bar only), my barbell is small, cannot fit into the rack.
My current bar is around 5kg with (2.5 & 0.5 two plates on each side) = 11 kg total weight (bar + plates) of my last workouts.
Why am I weak physically?
-
I never used a weight progression plan and was probably lifting at 40% of 1 RM zone.
-
Combination of deficiences that made strength gain difficult if not impossible (low zinc, low vitamin D, extremely low Free T, low protein, low magnesium, etc).
-
Low protein in diet and high carbohydrates.
When these were corrected, I was mentally ready to started with a weight progression plan. I learned that from reading the articles and posting in other sub-forum in this site. You realize moving from 8kg to 15kg in 7 weeks is almost 50% increase in my strength? It probably says I am on the right track.
Stressor in life: many major life changes, tight schedules and many deadlift, highly demanding full time job, history of clinical “severe depression”. So many things I cannot mention all but I am moving toward the less stressful life now.
I will continue my foam rolling session then will hit the 15kg today, next week will be my real challenge, am I going to be able to lift the 16 kg or not?
BTW, I am origionally 125lbs only for most of my life; 25lbs if not more was on my frame from severe depression. After my treatment was completed, I was dropping the weight easier and was able to work out harder.
.PS: I love weight lifting, I will do it anyway.

It was longer than expected but I feel good overall, a bit tired though.
In relation to form, I must keep my feet only shoulder stance while I squat and rotate my feet 30 outward from heels. I should also make sure my legs and knees are straight when I do good mornings.
Squat 70% 1 RM
Press / Rows 65% 1 RM
Military 52% 1 RM
Deadlifts soon to be 75% 1 RM
My 1 RM will probably shift soon
I can understand where a lot of people are coming from, and why your log rubs them the wrong way. Myself included.
The medical issues you listed mainly come from having a shot diet, and proceeding to have a busy schedule and continuing to do nothing about said shit diet. Most of the issues you listed can be fixed by seriously weight lifting and readjusting your diet. And by that i mean, eating enough to fuel your lifts, and lifting enough and frequently so that you can better respond to how you’re eating. Neither of which you seem to grasp fully. Just from reading your log and what you eat, you’re about two steps away from virtually being on a starvation diet. What you eat in a day, I was easily eating for breakfast, let alone lunch and dinner. Up your caloric intake steadily and I’m sure you won’t be worrying about strength plateaus, or vitamin deficiencies for that matter.
Believe me when I say, that you most likely haven’t put your body through as much as you think you have. And this is coming from someone who has been recovered from an eating disorder of 14 long ass years.
I saw that you mentioned depression, look. I don’t want to sound unsympathetic, but we all struggle with something. All of us. Use that and set it ablaze to better yourself, and by better yourself, I mean don’t make excuses. Stress will always be around, ALWAYS, instead of trying to find the “stress free life”, maybe try to find the life worth living in spite of stress.
Your heart rate went up. Okay? There’s quite a few healthy individuals who experience a heart rate of up to 200bpm. I’m pretty sure you’re fine.
Feeling tired is going to happen. I’m a college student, meaning I’m always tired, but im walking around sporting an almost 400lb squat. if I can progress, so can you.
What I can’t seem to shake, is how your numbers do not add up whatsoever. Unless you are experiencing some sort of muscle failure, or even atrophy, you should at least be able to lift a regular 45lb bar, with maybe a 10 or 25 on each side. Like Mark said, I’m pretty sure you’re uncomfortable with being uncomfortable, or you’re some sort of hypochondriac. I don’t mean to name call, but I’m just calling it how I’m seeing it.
If you want to progress, just put in the work, and calm down. Your body is pretty resilient in terms of what it is capable of doing. If you want to continue doing whatever then go ahead, but i would suggest you not ask questions if and when you realize what you’re doing isn’t yielding proper results

Yes I am sure the diet posted above which is mainly eating eggs, bean, bread, rice, chicken, oat, milk, cereal, veges is considered shitty. If you dislike this much, don’t visit it, it would serve me, keep my blog peaceful. Bye bye
Now I am almost double quanitity for some items, than what my origional post 10 days ago, I even post my nutrition for breakfast (pre workout) in my every other day log in breakfast section. Since those who do not reads what is actually posted in the log, I also make no effort to deal with their nonsense.
I do not have an eating disorder and when it comes to food, I only follow the medical / professional advice or the guidelines from the books in body building, not some random advice from someone who disagree with below thread, that has many common sense responds to my diet.
This is a forum, so people are free to offer their opinions on everything you post.
When you constantly tell people who are trying to help just to get out of your log because you don’t like what they’re saying, you come across as insufferably arrogant, and kind of a dick.

That’s a noble attitude, but read the whole thread if you haven’t. It’s one of the two. Funny in a trainwreck kind of way.

Keep your nonsense to help yourself instead, although you probably need professional help, I have no time for STUPID IMMATURE (I heard you were called that by others too lol).
Pathetic useless trolls losers, with no real life. If you have any self respect which I highly doubt you do you would leave, where you were told over 10 times to leave the thread because you haven’t said anything more than WORTHLESS RUBBISH: calling my diet shitty when 4-5 members already in subforum said it was fine, once again it shows you are another stupid immature useless thingy too. So PISS OFF!
Back to my log, my 1st week was only two works, today or tomorrow will be officially last day in the first two weeks which was mainly after my 2.5 weeks break off training.
I will use same numbers from last day of 1st cycle (7 weeks) which I was unable to complete to gauage; if I gain strength or not after 1st cycle, then my 3-4 week training cycle will start with only 1kg/2lb weight progression per workout.
Are you for real? All anyone has done is try to help you. STUPID? Planet cybertron is far from stupid. how fucking dare you. And you called yogi a “stupid thingy”. Thats not wven a word nor a decent insult. Not to mention saying 4 people in here are “losers”. If you keep insulting everyone then you may as well get back to pen and paper. Because being on here will be useless, no one will help you.
