This is a girl at my gym who's a trainer and I've worked out with a few times in the last couple of months.

 

She's 5'3" 140 and this is 275x1 on the squat.  I think she's got 300 if she wants to do it.

I've seen women squat 275, but I don't think I've ever seen a woman bench 160. Impressive!

I've seen a very large, obviously roided woman bench 185 for reps... I've seen Erin do 175 raw for 1 and 245 with a sling shot.  She's 100% clean and continues to impress me.  She's trains harder than pretty much anyone in our gym.

I need a little help With staying hydrated. I'm experiencing a lot of cramping even though I'm drinking a lot of water. I'm trying to stay away from the sports drinks but I want a tasty replacement without all the calories and chemicals. I sweat pretty heavily when working out and I need a healthy alternative to Gatorade or the like. If you guys could offer any help I would really appreciate it.

I've got like 4 girls at my gym who can backsquat that.

i'm not going to post numbers because it's embarrassing how scrawny i was but i've been lifting weights for right on two months now and my max bench press is up 20%.

 

i can't seem to make progress on this damn belly fat though

[Darth Biscuit]

Numbers are irrelevant Philly, only progress.

 

Belly fat is progressively harder to get rid of the older you get... pretty much all about diet.

HITT. Some form of cardio where it's 1min intense cardio and 30 seconds rest. Full body movement stuff. Drink more green tea as well.

Definitely HIIT with a proper diet for stomach fat. Bodybuilding.com has diet guidelines. I can't vouch for it, but the info seems good at a quick glance. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/wotw40.htm

 

I like to incorporate a little more into HIIT routines than what is on that page, but it looks like a good place to start (I seem to recall you saying you've been more active recently, but idk). One thing I absolutely love incorporating is a day of solely tabata. It will leave you feeling exhausted and wonderful at that same time. http://www.active.com/fitness/articles/what-is-tabata-trainingI do 8 sets of 5 exercises.

i did a ton of fartlek training leading up to going to OCS a decade back and i recall it being enormously useful.
