39. PlantFusion Complete Plant Based Pea Protein Powder, Non-GMO, Vegan, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Allergy Free w/Digestive Enzymes, Dietary Supplement, Vanilla Bean (30 Servings) 2 Pound

    Features:
  • OUR “FUSION” OF PLANT PROTEIN: We start with five different plant proteins concentrated to 21g per serving. Then add critical BCAAs and glutamine for recovery and muscle energy. Finally add a dash of digestive enzymes so that anyone can enjoy without gas or bloating. There is nothing like The Fusion!
  • NATURALLY DELICIOUS: Our vegetarian protein mixes smooth and tastes delicious because we’re the only shake in the world to contain Flavor Pure, a trademarked blend of monk fruit, lucuma fruit, yacon root, and a pinch of stevia. Does not contain rice protein which can leave a dry, chalky taste in your mouth.
  • CLEAN PROTEIN POWDER: Absolutely no fillers like acacia fiber and rice dextrin which you’ll find in cheaper, low quality protein powders. We only use complete proteins that are dairy free, gluten free, soy free and contain no artificial ingredients or chemicals.
  • PROTEIN POWDER FOR SMOOTHIES AND BAKING: Now you can create more than just shakes and smoothies, because PlantFusion works great in recipes and baking too.
  • THE PLANT BASED EXPERTS: PlantFusion was one of the pioneers of plant based supplements over a decade ago. All products are produced under cGMPs (current Good Manufacturing Practices) and adhering to US FDA guidelines. All ingredients and finished goods are subjected to rigorous 3RD party analytical testing.

I'm only on the first month, but I've found that (at least at this point) I can successfully modify "The Booty-ful Beginnings". I'm pretty weak though, so I won't need to worry about reaching the limit of my dumbbells for a bit. There is a section of Strong Curves for at home, so that might be what you're looking for.

I use an exercise ball, yoga mat, [these dumbells] (http://www.amazon.ca/Cap-Barbell-RSWB-40TPB-Dumbbell-Pounds/dp/B000VCDXNS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426466158&sr=8-1&keywords=dumbbells) - I found them for under $50 not so long ago though - and my couch. I think I'll grab a chin-up bar soon though. Working well so far, and will until I need more than 40lbs... After that I might just have to go to the gym, but depending on your goals it might not matter as much.

I'm not sure which barbells have a limit below 300lb, I haven't seen one at least. Even the Dick's Sporting Goods cheap one that is terrible is 300lb. Are you sure buying the one you picked is a good idea? There's several on Amazon for decent prices with 500+ limits.

------

Here's one for $140ish.

Here's a 6ft bar for $65 with a 500lb capacity.

One for $110 with a 600lb capacity.

This one has a 250lb capacity for $31 but it seems like garbage. It's a standard and seems like it may last a year at most. I had a similar bar once and it did not last. Plus the weight of the bar itself is low.

Here's one for $70s for a 7ft Olympic.

And you could probably find some decent prices on Craigslist or FB Marketplace. I got a Matt Chan bar for like $100 through craigslist.

------

You could check out /r/homegym for more suggestions. A common one is the Dick's Sporting Goods 300lb set though I warn you that the bar isn't great. I bought two sets for the decent and cheap weights and gave one of the bars to a friend. I used the other for a year and now it is a beater bar. Good deal for a bar and weights for cheap.

Firstly, one day is better than nothing but also bodyweight is great any time you can't make it to the gym.

If you're sore, do a warmup and then see how you feel. Usually I start to feel better. Also the purpose of the A and B days is that they work different muscle groups, so you can continue even if sore.

BCAAs or extra protein can help you with soreness if it's a big issue.
This brand is good bang for buck (more links available upon request to back that up) https://www.amazon.com/Branched-Essential-Powder-BulkSupplements-kilogram/dp/B00E7GV6GA

I've got a similar one (except the board is full length - got it through Amazon's warehouse deals for like $90!) and I love it. I can't lay down with my back on the floor due to some spine issues, but I can do all of the workouts with a hyperextension bench. It also doubles as a second flat bench, which is super nice since my husband is usually on the incline bench.

I redid my favorite workouts through a rotation before finding this guy through Bret contreras; the book is super science based and allows you to build your own programming (kinda, his guidelines) for what feels the best.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/149251456X?pc_redir=T1&qid=1466147887&s=books&sr=1-1

I just started my programming today!

Oh my gosh, I can answer this! I bought these in February and only just now started wearing them to work out (winter just continues to hold on!). They stay in place and aren’t too long to look awkward. They’re comfortable and have great coverage. I got the grey but will buy the rest on my next paycheck. I just wish they had brighter colors.

I use this one BEAR Strength & Conditioning Barbell Squat Pad - Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016LG887I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_E7q4Ab8JHBZ7W
I’ve been using it for over 6 months and it’s in great condition and is incredibly comfortable.

This Is the Best TDEE Calculator on the Web (2019) - Legion Athletics

Thinner Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Female Body (Muscle for Life Book 2) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0098PYV7Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5Z4wDbBR09H90

I'd have a look at your TDEE on this website and the linked book which is a good intro to cutting/maintenance/bulking and macros with a specific focus on women.

Yes, I think 1400kcal is too low to bulk. Had a quick look at your calculated TDEE based on your weight and activity level (you'll be able to calculate it more accurately by using correct BF% and age, height etc...) and I think you'd need to be quite a bit higher.

I'd give the book a read and see what you think. It's cheap enough.

I would use resistance bands. Either loops, or the kind with handles, you can attach them to a door and it's just like cable weights. I have this set and I love it. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Mountain-Products-Resistance-Exercise/dp/7245456313/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1450737044&sr=8-3&keywords=resistance+bands

You could easy do substitutes for all of those exercises with these. For extra weight, double or triple up the bands. Watch that little video on the Amazon page, they show how to use them.

I second the aerobic step -- I've done that too! I used a yoga mat, folded over a few times, for padding, if that helps.

Right now, I've actually got my lifting equipment in my bedroom, and I find that my platform bed is the perfect height for hip thrusting. I have an unstructured cotton mattress that I drag over the edge for cushioning, plus I add a foam pad for good measure. So maybe look around the house -- you might be surprised what you can repurpose!

If the bench is all you have to work with (say if you're in a gym), Bret has recommended sitting on a thick foam pad for shorter folks.

Sissy squats

Edit: Guys, stop downvoting. They are literally referred to as sissy squats. I'm not calling anyone or the movement a sissy.

If I didn't get the machine right, that's fine, but I am pretty certain that it is what it is for.

u/abyssiniancatbird · 4 pointsr/StrongCurves

These pastel Gym Bandit ones are the ones I use and I LOVE THEM. They're currently out of stock but the heavy ones are thicker than the other bands on average, they advertise themselves as being the thickest on Amazon. They come in pretty, unique colors too.

u/heroette · 2 pointsr/StrongCurves

great recommendation! anecdotally, i bought and used these for almost a year before deciding to replace them with the core fitness adjustable dumbbells because the bowflex dumbbells (at a 17" fixed length) are a bit too unwieldy for me (5'6" 130lb woman) while the core fitness dumbbells vary in length from 9-3/8” to 14-3/8" depending on how much weight you have on them. only downside is you can only adjust the weight in 5lb increments as opposed to the bowflex's 2.5lb but, for me, they are still much better for maintaining proper form so i might recommend them over the others. additionally, my husband (6'2" 170lb man) also prefers these over the bowflex because they are less awkward for him to maneuver as well.

I'm the same way with whey protein. I switched to a vegan protein, PlantFusion, that I get in vanilla that I like well enough and causes me no problems. I mix it with almond milk and often other add-ins like cocoa powder, peanut butter powder, etc and enjoy it. I've also used it in oatmeal and baking with success

u/decidedlyindecisive · 2 pointsr/StrongCurves

Agreed. I asked another lifter I know about what gloves she uses as I was looking for recommendations. She laughed at me and said she "didn't use bitch gloves".

Alright for some I guess but personally my skin callouses in a heartbeat and the pinched painful feeling makes me just want to stop.

I've had a pair of these for a year and like them. Happy to hear any other recommendations.
