Mine is how in love with my arms I am right now. Cutting weight = visible muscle that was hiding there all along from lifting for a year. I look great!😊👌🤣 Sorry to be so full of myself but I will never not be proud of this body I’m working hard for. Now just need to maintain weight……

It happens to us all, hope you’re ok. You go this!

Yes I get very hyper focused haha. I need enough protein as I lift but not to the detriment of other nutrients as you say. Anyway, I’m looking forward to eating more “normally” now😊

Maybe I was low in fat? I was careful to measure it. I was mostly trying to get protein in. Something ill bear in mind now as I still am very protein focused. Anyway, done now! Thanks for all advice 🙏

Incline dumbbell bench press: 8 x 12.5kg, 2 sets. Push week, new PB. :)

To get back to a healthy weight range and go down a weight class if I can so i can do my first olympic weightlifting competition 💪

Alright, I'm in. A little bit more to go. This will give me an extra push. I've already avoided a hernia surgery with my weight loss so far. There's some inspiration for you :D ;)

I'd like to join please o:)

Hey, can I join in? I'm 5 ft 3, female, 34. I have a hernia and need to lose weight to either heal it or at least make surgery easier. (I needed to lose weight anyway but this has been the push I needed - silver linings, right?) Started at 72kg end of April, 65kg now and just (hopefully) broke through a plateau. I need to…

Didn't realise the word I used would be censored it's butt not vagina to be clear!

Keep at it. Rehab is tough and your an animal for getting through it! Hope you recover fully soon. Don't knock what you're doing either, adaptations are great when we need them.

Thanks for all the info guys, I'm just using them for snatch and clean pulls at the moment. I guess my biggest and maybe stupid question is do they wrap around my thumbs?

[/quote] I didn’t start until I was about 44, and I’m 49 now. I really hope that’s not classed as old 😮🤣[/quote] Not at all, I believe there's one or two in my gym rocking it in their 60s. I was 33 when I started.

That would be recorded as 15kg. You don't add them.

My trainer has me do wall sliders and prone snow angels to help with this. It’s working slowly. Well, enough for me anyway and I have a previous shoulder injury. Now obviously listen to a medical professional instead of me! Edit: Also you could try cleans instead of snatches. Without following with a jerk of course. Still…
