    I take lifting pretty damn seriously, and I'm a girl. But I know what you mean by there are a lot of people on here giving bad advice about lifting.

    Is this "lifting" available in the form of a DVD? I already have a yoga mat.
    this is sarcasm, right?:$

    I read the whole thread and I still don't know what a "brah" is. Did I miss it?

    I do cardio at least three days a week anywhere between 20 min. to 90 min. per session (though, usually it is 30-45 min), plus I do strength training at least twice per week (using The Total Gym, which I love). Admittedly, I haven't a clue what I'm doing. But I can tell you that I am absolutely getting the results that I want (others my want more bulk, some may want more or less definition, I don't know, and would not know what to advise were I asked). I am loving the way I look (but am still a work in progress, not yet settled) and feel.

    To those who actually know what they're doing, and considering that I am indeed getting MY desired results, I'd like to hear whether what I am doing at least sounds sensible/logical. I have no plan to reach some specific goal in this regard. I'm in it for the long haul, and plan to continue to be fit the rest of my days. What's your thoughts?


    If you are happy with your results, and especially as you do not have much weight to lose. then I would not change anything. If you want to increase strength you should do a more traditional progressive loading strength routine...but, if you are not worried about that...keep doing what is giving you the results you want.

    I foresee a point where the Total Gym will not give you enough of a strength workout - having to do 25-35 reps of anything to get to fatigue is probably not in your best interest. You may at that point want to consider a program that challenges you more. Glad it works for you though!

    "enough of a strength workout" for what?

    i hate to think of how i would have shamed my family if i had access to the worldwide megaphone that is the internet when i was the same age as the OP. as it was, i could only show my ignorance to those close enough to hear my voice, and we didn't have phones that could record sound or video either.

    man oh man, the dumb **** that used to come out of my mouth.

    hippies in the fitness world arent the same as to say like hendrix type of hippie.... Anyways some people get a little to but hurt

    What's wrong with hendrix type? I consider it a pre/post-workout sup. I lift a bit, I consider my lifting respectable, I have a long way to go before I would declare myself a "lifter"

    Currently pr:
    Bench 275x5, Strict OHP 205x5, Deadlift 525x1, Squat 405x6

    And i never meant to insult any of those females who lift, i simply meant that woman usually tend to stick to doing a lot more cardio since lifting weights will make them bulky

    :noway: :laugh: Do I look bulky to you? I've been lifting for about a year and get mad when I have to skip a day. My trainer brags to people about my sweet squat rack skills. :bigsmile:

    The thing is, The majority of woman who go to the gym are always in the cardio room, everyday doing the same thing and if you ask them why so much cardio and not any lifting they'll tell you that.. "lifting will make me bulky" which isnt true

    So, do those women try to give lifting advice to the dudes with the striated but holes?

    Just wondering, ive seen a lot of comments that are just RIDICULOUS!!! People who think they lift giving other people advice like "if you wanna TONE up just do high reps" or like you can bulk up and lose fat at the same time... Who lifts??????

    I added muscle and lost fat while doing only cardio. No need to be condescending about those of us built like this.
