Btw I love broad big shoulders on a woman. So what you hate about your body is something that I find beautiful. Learn to accept that about your body and by weight training your glutes more.. You can definitely build a bigger butt! Bb hip thrusts as I mentioned before, glute kickbacks on a cable, donkey kicks, lunges, glute…

You could try bringing up your lower body to make it more proportional to upper body by building up your legs & glutes. Barbell hip thrusts will help build glutes

Truth is, you're going to lose friends during this process. Even best friends. People's true character comes out when you're trying to better your life. They are either going to positively encourage you or try to bring you down. It's up to you to decide how important this goal is to you. You should ask her to respect your…

I have the same issue.. And mine is also my right leg. Its bigger by almost an inch. I've been doing a lot of single leg work in hopes that it helps. Single leg press's.. Single leg deadlifts, single leg extensions or try Bulgarian split squats, lunges on the smith machine.

Lol ..no kidding! I choose to go by how my physique looks and feels rather than a number but I still think it is important to track that to make sure you're on the right track. I second guess myself soemtimes..

Yea I stopped using it (they have it at the y) I did track every 3 months on it but it started to annoy me so I quit using it. I tried using calipers, had my fiancé do the triceps measurement but it was my first time and I don't know how accurate I was on the readings. Yes it was impedance

Wheelhouse, thank you! I do take measurements and always have since the day I started my fitness journey over 3.5 yrs ago. I am seeing small increases on certain bodyparts I am trying to build.. And I take progress pics, which I can see my delts, hamstrings, glutes and back thickening. It's just hard for me to wrap my head…

I have used a handhold device (don't know the name) a bio electrical impedance scale (sp?) and calipers. They all told me different numbers and these were all taken throughout the last 2 years. I leaned down to stage ready leanness without doing any type of water/carb manipulation. At that point when I got to my desired…

I know how lean it is. If you can see your rear delts, vmo and striations in your back I would say that's pretty lean, correct? I'm not looking to get in a discussion about my bodyfat percentage I just wanted some thoughts or advice on why anyone thought the scale may not be moving even though my clothing is getting…

What sounds far fetched about it? Everyone's body is different.

I am not sure on what my maintenance calorie intake is. I've used calculators and that's what it tells me( they don't take into account how much mass you have ) do you need me to post a picture of my body? I know I'm not above 13%. Ive leaned out as if I was doing figure competition...just didn't get on stage. It was all…

I am pretty lean right now and at my leanest in the past I was 12%... And that was about 2 years ago when I didn't have as much muscle mass as I do now. (This was taken on bio electrical imp scale..not sure how accurate)So I would estimate I'm probably around at least 12 right now. I don't measure on a food scale, but I…

Also let me add that when I first started my lean bulk I upped my calorie intake from 1700-1900 in deficit to 2150.. I didn't see weight gain so I added 200 cals. I then went up to 2500 last week, and still same weight. So this week I am going up to 2700. According to tracking on fitbit and iifym calculator my TDEE is…
