Leah squats
Ladies, here's a new trainee of mine, in case you haven't quite convinced yourself to start lifting yet and need some motivation. Squatting 135 lbs. for a set of 5. This is her 2nd set, 1st couple of reps are shallower than I like, but the last three are somewhat better. She's 15 lbs. away from a body weight squat, and she's got plenty of progress left in her. Fellas, if you're not squatting at least 135 lbs., then shame on you
The little bit of "flux" in her balance comes from squatting with heels elevated on weight plates. Her calves are inflexible, a problem were remedying now, hence the heel lift. Also encouraging her to get a pair of proper lifting shoes:

Her form looks pretty good to me aside from maybe being 1/2" high on a few. 135x5 looked pretty easy. She's got more in her.
I'm hoping to get vid of my wifey squatting 225+ at a meet this weekend so I'll post it up for more inspiration for the ladies.

I know that game! Glad I got my shoes.The little bit of "flux" in her balance comes from squatting with heels elevated on weight plates.
Question: How is she doing with bar placement? No problems finding a shelf on her back? She looks very slender.
And just because it needs to be said, Damn, she is pretty.

You have similar cues as Rip, at least the cues he uses in the videos I've seen.

Ugh, I forgot that I didn't mute the audio: I can't stand the sound of my voice on playback.Originally Posted by Mr.City

How long have you worked with her?

Great work Stacey. Tell her I said she's hawt and the squats will make her hawter.

Your voice is very different to what I expected. I have similar disliking of my own voice in recordings too.

But, Stacey, I thought you didn't train anybody.
