Not sure that's up to my PT. I will be going for a session 3times p/week. I'm guessing it will be a progressive lifting program because in quite weak so we'll probably have to start with a clean bar without any weights added ... lol :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I am aware that my bodyfat is high to start with. But currently I'm skinnyfat. So I'd rather add some muscle first and then do a cut. Even if it does push me into the high bf zone. The reason I chose a year to do (obviously it will be evaluated along the way) is because I'm a woman and I read online (hahaha) that in…

How would you all recommend the diet change for a bulk though? 21, female, 5'2, 61.7kg. How much would I have to eat and what should my macro split be? (Can't believe I'm starting to count calories again...)

Nope. Nobody interested in exercise oddly enough. But that's one of the reasons I hired the PT. Like I said he has a sense of humor which is something we have in common.

You honestly think I would suggest it if I couldn't?? Lol

I may be weak....but I have my methods. One of which includes chasing a poor drunken dude away with a baseball bat...I thought he was a burglar...turns out he was just drunk and trying to open the wrong apartments door. :neutral_face: oopsie.

I am a long distance student so no free gym. And I don't have equipment at home...otherwise I won't be picking up 25kilo bags of dog food to begin with. ;)

Cast iron pot, a good swing...and a well planned out grave site is a good option. ;) especially in south africa. Lol

Hahaha wow....that's so typical. ;)

Pffft. Who needs men. :neutral_face: (no offence guys) I'm just not interested in love I guess.

Ahahaha! ...right..

I've been thinking about this as well. I'll have to discuss it with him. But I will need some guidance again. It's been years since I did a little lifting. And it only lasted a week. Lol. He'll need to help me out with form again.

Not in America. I actually have a completely different currency and converted it to us dollar. Also keep in mind this is the only gym in town. They ask what they want because they have no competition.

I just don't know if I'm going to be able to maintain that price. $150 a month is A LOT. That's the biggest factor right now that might keep me from continuing in the future.

Lol I know. I can't believe a website full of strangers convinced me to do this. What's this world coming to? :grin:

Meh. Lol

Bump?

Update : Sigh. So. I rejoined the gym. Hired another PT. With a goal of bulking and cutting. My first pt was a pain in the butt he was like a drill sergeant. This one actually has a sense of humor (something in common with me) so hopefully he'll make it easier for me and at least a little enjoyable. So if I don't enjoy the…

So basically, I should keep the bw exercises even if just to maintain bone and muscle (if I have any) even if it will make no difference to my physique. Okay then.

And so lifting heavy is the ONLY way to maintain muscle/bone?

I just don't understand how people say "if you don't use your muscle you'll lose it". I lift heavy things without it being weights. I carry around crates with 12litres of liquid multiple times a day from one room to another. I walk a lot. That's movement. That's using my muscle. Because muscle is used to move...isn't it??…

So I should get a wheel chair then??

Another question. Does walking burn muscle when in a deficit? Like just normal everyday walking around? Not for exercise.

I don't play for competition. I play for fun with my family and friends. I don't even know what you are talking about when you use tennis terms. To me it's literally a game of hitting the ball. Lol

Actually I don't lack too much in strength. (Certain parts of my body does) but I can still lift a 25kilo bag of dog food. I have strength, just not too much muscle.

It's not something new. I tried it and hated it. So yes. It really just is not my thing. Even these bodyweight exercises are a chore. As I said, I don't want sport to be a chore. It should be fun in order for me to stick with it. I've been walking, cycling and playing tennis for 2 years. And I still love it. In fact my…

Well I never strength trained while playing tennis. Then again, I never had a coach. I just play for fun. I don't want sports to be a chore you know. Also it's not a goal I already am skinnyfat lol. But well as you (and I) can see, it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it did. :w

Glad I could amuse you all :smiley:
