    Do you train like a female body builder?

    Are you lifting fasted?

    Totally boring, and unnecessarily so unless you are uber lean and have a comp or shoot coming up.

    Bunch of unnecessary supplements.

    Very similar to my thoughts. Unless your training for a comp and/or planning a serious cut this seems OTT. If your not training right you arn't going 'to bulk up' no matter what your diet is like. Female's don't get serious muscle by accident.

    she's suggested 5 days of 45 min cardio..and strength training 3 days a week....this is a plan for comp....but i was just thinking of doing it for maybe 2 weeks for quick results..then slowly going back to a more normal HEALTHY lifestyle

    Some very intelligent people on this thread so I'm sure you've already been told that this isn't a quick fix plan. It's essentially the BB equivalent of a cleanse. Many you lose a lot of fat and water weight for a competition but you will regain it IMMEDIATELY once you return to a more normal style of eating.

    I think that plan if fine for getting ready for a comp but has no use whatsoever for anyone else and certainly not for the OP's current goals. Sure that's been said already but adding my 2 cents to the pile

    I'm responding to the OP and haven't read the thread but it's on page 3 so i hope someone has already pointed out that this looks more like a pre contest cutting plan, and not a plan that would make anyone bulky.

    Hopefully someone has pointed out that food by itself won't make anyone bigger, even if this was a bulking diet. Much lifting must accompany any food plan.

    Hopefully someone has pointed out that there are many different classifications of bodybuilders, especially females, with some types much bigger than others.

    Hopefully this hasn't degraded into a body shaming thread

    1. correct

    2. yes

    3. mhmm

    4. sighs..

    Not at all, My ex was into the Pilates and stuff until I showed her how to squat and deadlift which gave her much better results. Lifting heavy definitely gives a woman a more feminine shape than weak aerobics. I only mention men since attractiveness was mentioned, I'll retract that and change it to women who identify as men are attracted to feminine shapes, which by definition is not a masculine one. Just being in shape doesn't make you masculine, but taking test certainly does and in fact starts turning you into a man.

    I understand what you are saying now...we are all good.

    I did a diet very similar to this last spring for 8 weeks. I competed in a bikini competition in the masters category (40 and over). Yes, the diet is very boring and restrictive, but it will lean you out like you've never seen. I was allowed one cheat "thing" mid-week, and one cheat meal on the weekends for the first six weeks. I would not recommend doing this diet for longer than 8 weeks. Good luck to you!

    You should be able to push sub 20% bodyfat by lifting and eating at a straight calorie deficit around 20% under TDEE.

    my girlfriends think doing bicep curls of anything more than 15 pounds is absurd...(just saying they dont think i should lift heavy) you think i should try to push my limit with weights or do like other women and do light weight lots of reps?

    I think female body builders are very unattractive and unfeminine. If they're taking steroids, even more so. The female body was made to have nice curves and a little meat on it -- not look like you could crush walnuts with your thighs.

    If you want a nice body, go for the yoga/pilates/aerobics type body. The "fitness" body where there is muscle tones and lean lines -- not ripples of muscles. I'm a straight female and even I think that's a hot body on a female! (and what I'm aspiring to become)

    I'd LOVE to look like I could crush walnuts with my thighs, where can I learn how to get this body?? ;)

    That might be the best compliment I could ask for....
    maybe we can compete on a professional walnut crushing team?

    I think you will look too muscular in, like . . . . . 50 years. That is, if you work hard

    For some reason, GTFO comes to mind.

    When quoting narrow-mindedness of such proportions as this, you might wanna be careful about removing the [/quote ]

    I think it might be useful for you to take a moment to explain specifically what your goals are, what your current stats are and what your current fitness/nutrition program looks like. I think a lot of different topics are getting tossed about in here without a clear direction.

    PRex has the right of it. The OP has been answered and the thread is starting to become too unfocused to be helpful.

    Start a new thread and clearly state where you are and where you want to go.
