    You're a dude so everyone just assumes you take some roids, look at yourself in the mirror at the gym, and boom you're jacked. Also: no fat pics and too many Y chromosomes.

    Thanks

    Hi and thank you! I lifted about 4 times a week. My routine was based around the big compound lifts - squats, deadlifts, bench press and overhead press in the lower rep range (1 - 5) with assistance work (compound and isolation exercises) in the slightly higher rep range (6 - 15). I still lift this way now.

    I have been friends with you for a while now and have thoroughly enjoyed learning from you in the Eat, Train, Progress group, but I had not actually read your story before. You are one amazing and inspiring lady with an incredible body and enviable strength!!! Keep spreading your knowledge and encouraging people to really think about the crap they come across when it comes to nutrition and exercise.

    Thanks!
