Agreed it's not for everyone... I just try to eat as natural as possible...

Haha it was good, funny how an apple is sooo tasty and so satisfying

nah not hardcore, just intimidating to me to do weights when there are 15 dudes doing weights in the weights area and I don't feel confident with my form and what weights i do... I'm shy

haha

what training do you do at your gym? Oly lifting?

You could always train at home, or find another gym preferably a womens only one with ample free weights

You will find most guys who are really there to train lifting heavy are concentrating on their on lifts so do not worry about them. It is the guys doing 100 sets of 20kg curls that you need to worry about, mainly as they may just ogle you (try to hit on you) through their whole workout, they are the ones there just for social show off reasons.

Dont let the guys ruin your fun, I have guys and girls train together every session, the girls hold their own.

Back on this bodyweight thing. I have a girl training at PTC, she is a member on here. She has got a body that has every guy and girl commenting. She is a little over 170cm, she is 20 years old. She is a good advertisement for women lifting weights, very femminine, and strong.

She weighs 72kg. She's going to hate me posting that up.

Most women would have a heart attack weighing that much, and most guys would have a heart attack if their girlfriend looked like her.

Dont worry about the scales.

miss_sarahx · 21-07-2010, 02:29 PM

I think I might buy some dumbells to have at home so if I can't get what I want done at the gym I can do stuff at home too.

I used to be fine at my old gym, I just need to work up some confidence I think... Maybe a few personal training sesh's will help me.

Wow that's insane? I'm the same though if I get above 60 I freaak!! I hate it! I just really have to focus on my diet, the past bulimia junk messes with my head and I go mental so I really need to learn discipline and promise myself ...

The mirror paints a more accurate picture than the scales.

This girl deadlifts 140kg, squats 80kg absolute rock bottom and benches 60kg.

She has been training with me for about a year. She does some of my KB cardio complexes at the end of each session. She trains on Mondays and Wednesday's currently

She was very soft when she started. She still goes out and drinks, she has simply moderated her lifestyle. Shes still a young girl and wants/needs to have fun, some people forget that.

Because she is not the only girl in the gym lifting weights, she's not intimidated, plus she can lift as much as some guys at PTC, most guys elsewhere. Because I have a wife and 3 daughters, NO ONE gives girls a hard time at PTC .....EVER.

miss_sarahx · 22-07-2010, 12:08 AM

whats her name if you dont mind me asking.. i wouldnt mind having a look at her and having a talk to her about what she eats and how she works out etc...
im keen to make friends with chicks and talk to chicks are actually interested in fitness... alot of my friends arent interested in fitness at all which makes it hard to keep motivated, focused and talk about :-)

PTC · 22-07-2010, 01:09 AM

lol.....she trains as I tell her too. Tonight she did squats, BB incline press, Ukrainian Deadlifts, DB curl to shoulder press. She then finished with a KB complex, doing Thrusters with 8kg KB's, swings with 16kg KB and Cannonballs with 16kg KB.

I asked her how much she currently weighs, its 74kg

Her name is Brittany, she doesnt post much

On our youtube channel you can see her doing a 140kg deadlift.

miss_sarahx · 23-07-2010, 12:51 AM

she sounds fit!
i could only ever get a 100kg DL so good work!!
my problem is i weighed myself today. 2kgs up!!!! WTF? i havent eaten barely any carbs and only had tiny amounts of fruit and i have veggies and meat and been in ketosis
i dont get it why i have put on weight? the boy recons its cos i did some weights and im building muscle again but i feel bloated? i think its dairy... maybe i cant eat that?
im struggling

PTC · 23-07-2010, 01:40 AM

The boy is an idiot......I'm only joking.

But seriously. Two kilograms of muscle requires 8000 calories from protein.

That means you need to have ingested 2000gms of protein, but wait, 30% of the protein we eat gets used for digestion, which is why its near impossible to get fat eating protein, so to be left with 2000gms of protein to build 2kg of muscle, you would need to eat 3300gms of protein, or 13,200 calories worth of protein.

Any chance its 2kg of muscle?????????????????

miss_sarahx · 23-07-2010, 11:33 AM

Okay good point and good info.
So how am I putting on weight then?? I have been eating low carb and exercising?!?
I haven't had any junk or crap for
weeks and I just don't knowww!!! Arghhhh!
I'm thinking of trying a diretic to see if I'm retaining excess fluid an there fore causing me to feel bloated etc... There's a few supp's that claim to expel fluid
but stop your cells from becomming dehydrated??
