LouLou May 2017 7:41am, 4 May 2017 7,331 posts	Quote Pin LouLou Good progress Brig! I found deadlifts strangely addictive. I've booked a PT session for Saturday - my last PT session was the first week in January before my life changed! I feel like I've lost a lot of what id developed but in reality I've missed 4 months of weekly sessions and hoping I can get back into a routine and do my own structured gym sessions. I really want to get back into it but may be limited in what chest/ upper body weights I can do with the internet producing all sorts of scenarios that can happen to the leads from my little box that sits on my chest wall. i reckon I can do a decent leg session anyway

Brig May 2017 8:12pm, 4 May 2017 56 posts	Quote Pin Brig Push press. I am finding this very hard going! I know my shoulders are pretty feeble so hopefully this will improve but right now I feel a proper lightweight!
Sharkie May 2017 8:45pm, 4 May 2017 11,465 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie I'm a bit under the weather but I had a go at an event that needs strength, speed, flexibility and balance this evening. Completely new to me... the hammer! It struck me that a kettlebell queen - like .B. would be really good at it. All that twirling a heavy metal object above your head!
Brig May 2017 9:15pm, 4 May 2017 57 posts	Quote Pin Brig Oohs I would love to have a go at hammer! How did it go?

LouLou May 2017 12:59pm, 6 May 2017 7,332 posts	Quote Pin LouLou First PT session in 17 weeks today - back in a 60kg deadlifts and same for hip thrusts. Surprised myself at how good technique was and how relaxed it felt. Another part of getting my life back

... a weights wire for women.

And in case you're wondering about that title, well, I like alliteration and one can be too po-faced about the use of girl/lady/woman.

Here's a strength standards for women thing Duracel found for us
