WANTED: Lifting guidance from Women who have had success

missdibs1

I have lost weight (a lot over the years) I have run, I have lifted. What I want, please and thank you, is guidance from someone who has implemented a lifting program (serious) and had success.

Specifically with a starting program, diet (macros especially I am at a loss). I have: free weights and a home gym.


I am twelve pounds away from my goal.

My current BF% (yes I have searched and read) is 22.7%.

What I want is to be cut but feminine.

What exactly do you have in the way of your free weights and a home gym?

I have just put together a 3 week program for a friend of mine who has just started going to the gym and is a total newbie. My husband and I are doing it as well. I am in shape and have to admit that week one is kicking my butt!!

You an PM me if you want more info.

I will be more specific.

I want to be cut/toned.

I am in decent shape. I want guidance as to how to lower my BF% and increase lean muscle.

I am very close to where I want to be.

I am doing HIITS and want to incorporate lifting into the mix.

I know this will help me reach my goals.

Check out the book New Rules of Lifting for Women. I've heard such great things. The trainer who wrote the program, Alwyn Cosgrove, is highly respected in the industry.

I just bought it myself!

This book I have.

I am not a novice.

I want advice on how to step things up. Right now all I do are
Lat pull downs, chest press, shoulder press, cable triceps, leg curls (standing)
leg extensions (the basics)

I am doing hiits with lighter weights (or body) to get cardio in.

I need guidance as to how to use our home gym to maximize results.

For example

I was watching a woman online do these oblique cable bends??

I would never know to do things like that
