    Any tips for avoiding amenorrhea? Also any female bb's here?

    Yep, you're right. I mean, don't get me wrong, i was never below 8%, I was probably around 8-12% for a year but I wasn't taking care of myself, therefore I was too tired to train effectively and so I maintained that level through restricting my caloric intake. And I do not want to go down that...

    Any tips for avoiding amenorrhea? Also any female bb's here?

    Life too short to develop amenorrhea for no good reason as well. Someone with Anorexia nervosa usually does that for themself as well as others would tell them not to do it so it must be for self. My point was for a positive not a narrow view of what men want. A fairly large view of what men...

    Happy medium? What's that? lol You're right though, it's just so easy to fall into that mindset where you keep pushing yourself if you KWIM. Like a lot of people who train hard I can be pretty tough on myself, much more than I would be with anyone else, but I guess trying to find a happy medium...

    Any tips for avoiding amenorrhea? Also any female bb's here?

    This isn't meant to sound harsh, but honestly? I don't really care what someone else wants for my body. I train for me, to feel strong and fit and capable, not for someone else's approval (and certainly not to pick up- I'm a single mum, I don't have the time haha). If they know me then they'll...

    I just really dislike carrying much body fat and to get the level of striation and vascularity that I like to have on a daily basis I find that my body stops functioning as well as it should. Not that it's an issue at the moment, I'm carrying more than enough body fat right now ;) but going on...

    Any tips for avoiding amenorrhea? Also any female bb's here?

    This is more of a question for the women here &/or those that have trained women to "competition ready" states. When I was last training I developed orthorexia/anorexia and ended up with (secondary) amenorrhea- that is, I lost so much body fat that I ceased menstruating for about 8 months. The...

    Living with being a coward.

    I'm like Dave upthread, I tend to be a bit of a hermit. People intimidate me and I tend to swing between trying to intimidate others first and being too subservient and wanting to be accepted. Social anxiety can be a really debilitating issue- imho if that's what's going on you're best off...
