I bought the pros for the longer strap. I have small hands as well. If the grips are a little big that's fine, being too small is not. Plus if you wear gloves under them as I do that can take up some space.

2 weeks isn't enough time to make any real changes. Best of luck with your shoot.

I've been back in the gym for 6 weeks after an 8 year break from regular training and compound exercises are working a treat for me. When I first got back into it I was doing more complicated routines (found them on BB.com), but I've reverted back to basic compounds because my goal is to just put muscle where there currently isn't really much, in particular my upper body (but it is growing! )

Most people don't use full ROM on the leg press and they are SO impressed with themselves at the weight they can push. Yet when you look at their squat numbers it's way down. Now whether or not they are intending to do partial ROM, I couldn't tell you but I wouldn't brag about it that's for sure. You keep doing what you're doing girl, you'll soon be beating them all with full ROM.

Wait... I am a little confused. You state that you don't lift heavy but you show your best deadlift at over 200lbs...That is a LOT for someone your size. Fat burners are going to do nothing. They are usually just supplements that are full of caffeine and a bunch of other crap. All that is going to do is cause adrenal fatigue. Fat burners will do nothing if your diet is off. If someone who knows how to measure your BF is using calipers...

I would recommend at least one cheat day a week. You said you have a few slip ups, in my opinion the slip ups are because we all have cravings thats what the cheat day is for.

And for a measly 10 lbs, i really felt it in my butt haha so i can only imagine what a kettleball will do. How much do they weigh? Or do they come in...
