D... I just squatted 135 for the first time last week lol and then ohp the same amount.... And the ohp was easier!!! I envy the ladies who can load up the bar and do squats! I always blame it on the fact that I'm 6'2" and mostly legs... I have way farther to go down!!! Haha it makes me feel better!!
So jealous your overhead press is 135!! What!!?? Awesome!! My ohp is like friggin 30-40!! Man...do I have a ways to go. Awesome
Snipes!! Way to go!!
I just want to echo this! I'm a super competitive person and sometimes it's hard NOT to compare what I lift to other women but doing a competition earlier this year, I pushed myself too hard (strictly trying to out do others and be superhero) and had some very significant injuries which I'm still dealing with. I've had to really change my thinking and be ok with lifting what I'm able to lift, at this point in my life. You always have to look at what you own PR's are, your own individual situation and be proud of what you can accomplish and only compare yourself to where you've come from. It's a great group of women here right now and your motivation helps me every day!! Keep working hard!
Ok sugazombie next A workout hold your bench and rows to the same wight till your squat catches up. I dont wanna see you getting too far ahead on them and your squat lag.

Hey Zed! I can't seem to find anything on dishing , I can only explain it as bringing my chest closer to my knees as I lower lol .
I always made an effort to keep my feet flat but I will make sure to put the weight on my heels
Thanks Buddy
Ok how about negative rounding?
Under no circumstances do you want to have your back round, (as in the round surface of a ball) in any way while doing squats.
What I mean by dished is like this,
say that your head is one end of a line. And that your ass is the other end of that line. Now the part between those 2 poinst (your back) should be just a little bit below parallel (holding a nice negative curve)and that would be a gr8 squat technique.
Are you getting this sugazombie?
Do not let your chest drop down toward your legs. Actually you should keep your chest up and shouldrs tight with a belly full of air.
Are you understanding this?
