Any MAN Caught Working the *kitten* / Inner & Outer Thigh Area..

TrainingWithTonya

Just do squats. It is one exercise that will hit all of those muscles, and will work them better. Plus you look a lot cooler with 300lbs on your back than sitting on a machine spreading your legs.

I do squats with 300 pounds, 6 sets of 12. Then I do another 6 sets of 12 Plie squats with the same 300 pounds. Then I do some lunges and deadlifts. Then I hit the leg press, leg extension, hamstring curl, abductor, adductor, glute press, and calf raise to finish off the muscles. I don't know if it makes me cool or not, but my legs and butt feel like jello when I'm done and my husband loves the look of my butt from all of it. I miss being able to go so heavy while trying to drop some muscle, but as soon as I'm through with this kidney donation, that will be my first workout back!

I want to see a video of those squats...
*kitten* to grass???
My max is 265lbs...but thats as deep as possible without sitting down, lol.

I only go to parallel. *kitten* to Grass isn't safe for me after 2 knee surgeries. I do wish I had video of my workouts, but most gyms don't allow camera crews. I have my own set up in my house now, though, so as soon as I'm released to heavy weights again after this kidney donation, I'll have my husband record it for me to put on my facebook for you.

You squat 300 x 12 x 6sets to parellel? That is an estimated 420lb 1rm. Not calling BS or anything but that is some serious weight!

Yep, I know its more then most women do. I actually set it as a goal one year because I was sick of the guys in the gym acting all muscle-head stupid when I went to the free weight area. I saw one of them squatting 300 one day so I decided to work up to squatting that much. At the time I hadn't lifted more then 100 pounds. It took me a few months, but once I could do it, I walked right back in that same muscle-head gym and left their jaws dropping. That goal is actually what got me hooked on lifting heavy. That's why I'm going nuts having to stick to cardio only and dropping muscle for this kidney donation.

Depending on her height, body weight (which if memory serves, she has said it is higher than the “average” female) and diet this is not too hard to believe. In all reality, a 300lb squat to parallel is not that much. I went from around a 200lb squat to 325lb squat in less than six months, so if she has put in considerably more time, this is very reasonable.

I'm 5'6", 190 pounds, 19% body fat, and in a size 8. As for diet, I eat at least 2000 calories a day and mostly carbs to maintain my glycogen levels to fuel those heavy lifts in addition to my constant activity during the day. I had a 1RM of 120ish when I started training for this in January one year and had it by December. It took a while, but all that training really hooked me on weightlifting. Most people when they see me guess at least 50 pounds lighter then what I actually weigh because of my size, but it just shows how much smaller muscle is then fat. I know most women are afraid of bulking with heavy weights, but I'm proof that once you get over what the scale says and enjoy the benefits of added muscle, you won't really bulk but you can get strong. It's also been beneficial for my arthritis and regulating my hormones that were previously out of control. It's absolutely awesome what the human body can do and most of us don't push it to do but maybe half of what it can do.
