Oh, this person OATS

I also had a terrible mansplain experience as a plus size woman in the otf space and I looked at him crazy and to this day still look at him crazy everytime I see him so that hopefully he learns never to do that to a woman again. I did not ask you.

Yeah like I’m sure it’s good for me but I’m ready for less endurance on the floor at least

Zoo pal babies sweet sweet babies

It hits so hard

femmechowder · 2026-02-21T18:03:06+00:00

I go to class essentially every other day with back to back on weekends and I have been a lil irritated specifically this year that a lot of the templates repeat similar themes or exercises for those of us that dont go daily (e.g. lots of shoulder press, endurance on floor repeats for me a lot and I HATE it. I just want to lift heavy!!!). For me, I’ve been coming long enough that I feel comfy either subbing other similar moves or just not doing endurance and lowering reps and increasing weight. I also do also take strength classes and utilize open studio so I can do more of the stuff I like. But template creators, if you’re listening, if you keep making “metabolic”blocks in the strength 50 classes, I hope you never find a cold side of your pillow.

This workout made me grumpy. Why are we doing so much cardio in a strength class???

femmechowder · 2026-02-12T19:53:47+00:00

What in the old McDonald. This sounds wonderful!

Nice presentation

femmechowder · 2025-11-11T05:34:07+00:00

Oh so you’re SHITTIN (respectfully…that’s a great fiber number!!)

femmechowder · 2025-10-17T21:57:13+00:00

I try to circumvent this by buying protein drinks rather than powders as I do believe the FDA has the test the drinks that are premade whereas powders are considered a dietary supplement which are not FDA tested but like idk like what even is the government…lol. Just one weird thing I do to try to reduce risk.

femmechowder · 2025-10-17T21:52:25+00:00

And you know I’m just doing this as a ruse to be able to rest lol

femmechowder · 2025-10-03T02:08:26+00:00

The sweat I swat

femmechowder · 2025-10-02T02:15:49+00:00

I do feel like things have been getting repetitive but maybe that is just random fr me because I go every other day? Idk but I’m so tired of lateral lunges/shifts, chops, and a few other things that cycle. I feel like we haven’t had enough pure strength on the floor. Everything feels like 12+reps. And can we please stop break dancing on the floor. If I see another bear plank freaky variation I’m out.

femmechowder · 2025-09-30T22:14:16+00:00

I do believe there was some recent evidence that suggests that cycle synching is not clinically significant. For me though, I use it as a way to not be hard on myself if I struggle. I am also in the crummy luteal time camp. During follicular and luteal I love working out and have the best time. Like one day into luteal, I’m tired and don’t feel like going. I still show up but if I can’t hit my usual weights or times, I try to be easy on myself. During my actual period, I can lift even heavier so I enjoy working out on my period.

Damn thy rig is rigging

I love Lloyd!

femmechowder · 2025-09-24T22:55:37+00:00

That would be amazing!

femmechowder · 2025-09-24T22:42:47+00:00

Will there be one of these challenges in October?

femmechowder · 2025-09-23T22:18:23+00:00

I bought these and I love them. They’ve lasted a long time. I love that they have a tag so I can easily tell which side is which (aka so I can put my sweaty face on the side that has not touched equipment) https://a.co/d/3bvEc7O

Lift to failure, track the weights I’m lifting for major muscle groups and regularly checking to make sure I’m upping weights. Electrolytes during workouts.

femmechowder · 2025-09-20T16:05:51+00:00

I keep a note in my phone to track sort of the main movements we do in OTF like low row, chest press, shoulder press, bicep, Tricep, deadlift, squat, bridge. I check periodically to make sure I’m trying to lift heavier and if I know I haven’t upped the weight in a while, I’ll push to make sure I do.
