So, some recently re-emerged and spotted muscles:
Back (rear delts, lats & rhomboids)
Glutes (when bent over)
Tibialis & calves
Forearm muscles (whatever those are called)

I'm super-happy with the Baby Got Back program!!

I just got back from the gym. I continue to be amazed at my strength during the PSMF.

I used a cheat Oly grip for front squats, because I don't feel stable with a cross grip and I don't have the wrist flexibility for the Oly grip. I tried them for the 1st time today and LOVED them!

Woo-Hoo on the unassisted chin!! :clap:

Way to go on those pull-throughs too! I really love them now, after tinkering with them forever, but I do love them now. :) I had a hard time anchoring myself and I hated the rubbing of the thighs. I cut the feet out of tube socks and pulled them over my gloves and that made it much softer and less aggravating. :cool:

Thanks! I was so excited about the pull up!! It's actualy the first time I tried.

That's a great idea with the socks! My thighs are red as hell after the pull throughs! I'm good up to about 120 lbs. Higher then that and I have a really touch time anchoring as well.

Wow ! You are doing so great. I never stopped in here before. I was thinking of actually doing exercise & making a gym log so I popped in here for ideas.
Again I say............WOW!

Thanks Donna! I've been really happy with my progress in the gym so far!

As well you should be & your husband better never get out of line cuz you can take him!

Oh, he knows that! :D

I went to dog training yesterday and spent 3 hours running (sometime literally) around with my dogs in 95 degree heat, so my legs felt a tad weak at the gym, but my upper body was very strong. I skipped SS because I figured I got enough at dog class.
