Squat form is still suspect but I will increase the weight anyways and try to get proper depth next time. My lower back usually starts to become the weakest link in reps 3-5 and fatigue really messes up my form. Did BW+25x5x5 chin-ups today too. Hopefully I can keep making linear gains on everything | ||

Gyms are generally not open to you filming inside of them... usually they have signs on the walls saying no filming or photographing without permission. You'd have to call and ask to arrange something. | ||

You can always say that you're considering joining and if you can train there to see if you like it. Most gyms will allow you to go in for free the first time. | ||

QFT Back in the day me and my mate used to just drive to a different gym every week and say that we were thinking of joining and just wanted to see what the equipment was like. Occasionally they'd try and ambush you on the way out to talk about membership fees and whatnot. Never ended up having to pay anything though. | ||

My ultimate goal is to lose around 30 pounds (goal weight of 130 pounds) within the next year. Training goals -- Exercise 3-4 times per week, at least 1 hour. I have been doing Bikram yoga but not maintaining a regular schedule due to work. My membership is running out (and it's $$$) so I have bought a combination of groupons/living social deals to get gym memberships on the cheap. I'd like to start lifting on a regular basis as recommended in this forum. Nutrition goals -- Increased consumption of fish, fruit, and vegetables. Decreased consumption of simple carbs and grains. Eat a healthy breakfast every day. Misc goals -- Consistent sleep pattern, at least 7.5 hours per night, preferably 8.5 or 9. absolutely start lifting asap  it will make your life more awesome!btw, i'm assuming you are a woman? because if you are a man, I would not recommend losing that much weight!

Maybe craigslist or the equivalent would work as well for buying weights? | ||

Just try your goddamn best to squeeze out each rep and even 2.5kg plates should be okayish. You'd just go from 5-5-5 to 4-3-2 probably, but just slam 'em out untill you get 5-5-5 I guess. Can't be too hard to get your hands on a plate though, ebay.nl? fitness-seller.nl sells them 100% | ||

Googled to buy my own 0,5 or 0,625kg weights but can't really find anything, so how do you guys solve this? As far as I know, on SS and SL you're supposed to go up by 2.5kgs per session.If you keep going up, you're making progress, if you fail, it allows you to stay on the same weight for another session. Our gym only has 2.5kg weights, so I've been going up with 5kgs per session. The squat is the most brutal, but it tends to be doable. The overhead press is the one I fail with the most, but even on 5kgs a session I feel like I can still make progress, I just fail once every two sessions. I dunno, personally I'm not going to make smaller incremental changes until I start getting stuck on the same weight for extended periods of time. | ||
