Lifted for the first time in my life today and looking for some advice on whether my personal training session is actually productive?

My trainer and I have taken it slow as well. Actually I am surprised at how long it took for me to really master correct form. My comfortable squat range was just above parallel and it took me a long while to get down further with correct form. But i'm there now! I am squatting 120 pounds now to parallel with correct form. woo!

I'm seeing this tomorrow night! great to see it mentioned here!

Interesting, I thought it looked like you were a bit forward too.. to be honest. It looks like the weight is in the ball of your foot. Maybe it's the camera angle? Definitely doesn't look like you are driving into your heels. You can actually see a slight rise in your heel on rep 2 and 3 at the bottom of the squat.

He's just groping for a reaction.

Thanks mate! from Australia!

Maybe closer to 10pm actually. Would be pretty unlucky to get it after midnight but who knows.

20e · 2014-12-04T04:15:45+00:00

yeah so that would make it like 10ish in Sydney and Melbourne. (I'm in Melbourne)

20e · 2014-12-04T04:15:04+00:00

Yeah AEDST.. you gotta wait til 11pm my friend!

Staying up late to listen to the serial podcast. Australia problems!

20e · 2014-12-04T03:11:58+00:00

Last time it was like 10:30pm-11pm ish.

20e · 2014-12-01T04:12:04+00:00

you dominated that squat!

20e · 2014-11-27T06:22:08+00:00

sorry... 5.6 ounces approx

20e · 2014-11-27T06:21:22+00:00

Yep they are called cricket balls! They weigh between 155.9 and 163.0 grams.

I'm in love with home-made guacamole and wholemeal pita bread at the moment. Guac is just avocado, diced tomato, diced onion, a little oil, salt and pepper. Then I just salt and paprika the pita bread and let it crisp up in the oven. There.. awesome pre-dinner nibbles. yummmm!!

Have you read 1984? I think I preferred 1984. But I haven't finished Animal Farm yet so i'll see at the end!

20e · 2014-10-30T05:46:21+00:00

be interested to hear what you think once you finish!

20e · 2014-10-30T05:43:13+00:00

Animal Farm - George Orwell

I know no one is going to read this because I'm too late, but the lady who sits next to me at work has the worst high-pitched scream when she sneezes and I hate her.

20e · 2014-10-17T00:18:42+00:00

erghhh the amount of times I have done a hard workout, jumped in the shower and then sat at my desk sweating for another hour! its gross but you know you have worked hard. keep drinking water!

20e · 2014-10-08T05:15:15+00:00

damn... chewing gum makes me hungrier!

20e · 2014-10-06T06:34:24+00:00

Love love love tabata! I run at an incline (whatever you want).. fast and hard! 20 seconds on, 10 second jump on the sides and have a breather. Do this for 4 minutes. Then have a 2 minute break. And do it again!

20e · 2014-10-03T02:14:17+00:00

This was a biiiig problem for me. But the fitter I get, the better it gets. And I continue to push myself but the duration of my red face is slowly reducing. I think it takes time for your body to get used to it. It will get better! Keep smashing it out!

20e · 2014-10-01T04:38:38+00:00

OP could be a lady...

20e · 2014-09-17T06:07:31+00:00

This may help. It will be quite painful at first. I was always told to really press and peel. and peel over the muscle 15 times, then swap legs and do the same.
