questions for the pros from new chick

**Sapphire** · 05-24-2003, 09:22 AM

Hi! I am really just getting "serious" about weight lifting in the last few monthes. I am 5'7 127 pds female, in pretty good shape BUT would definitely like to add muscle to my smallish frame. I am currently using a cyber trainer who custom designs WOs for me 2 days UB, 2 days LB (love him BTW), eating 6 meals a day, approx 150 grams protein, 75 grams carbs, per day. I have definitely lost body fat, but would really like to add MORE muscle. I take a multi vitamin and a fat burner without caffeine or ephedra. Here are my question for all you pros:

1) Do you recommend any other supplements?
2) I am very active, run, bike, roller blade, ski..etc. , is this activity hurting my muscle development? If so, what type of cardio is best to maintain and help develop MUSCLE??
3) What should I eat right after a weight workout?

I really appreciate any advice! I am loving weight training! I think I may be hooked!

Hey Coach GOPRO!! You are the most awesome trainer EVER and I have to thank YOU for my 24 inch waistline!! So it's a YES to Glutamine???

Yes on the Glutamine, I swear by it, especally if you are very active and do allot of cross training.

Hey Sawheet,

What is fitday? And r u going to share any of your secrets with me for keeping muscle? I actually have GoPro as my cyber trainer, he is the absolute BEST there is. I KNOW he has ALL the secrets I need.... but still curious....

**sawheet** · 05-24-2003, 04:44 PM

Building muscle is going to be hard to do with all the cardio you do!

**Sapphire** · 05-25-2003, 09:12 AM

Yeah that is what I was afraid of.... GoPro had me stop doing so much cardio and I DID (of course, I do whatever he tells me to do) Unfortunately I LOVE to be constantly doing something outside and NOW IT'S SUMMER! I love to hike too, I read your bio. Have you ever been to Acadia National Park in Maine? My favorite hiking trails are there, you can hike for 6 hours and never see another person!!

It is SOOO beautiful there! On one of my longer hikes, I was all alone sitting on a rock with the sun on my face and I swear to you I had some sort of spiritual experience. I felt like everything in the world was OK and it all made sense to me... that is until I got back to civilization and some jerk threw his nasty cigarette out his car window!!

**katie64** · 05-25-2003, 09:47 AM

If you come up this summer, we'll have to hike a few trails together............

That's the absolute truth.......and the reason why I live here and love this place, spiritual serenity...........only on a mountain

alone

No Katie, I live in New York... It's about a 10 hour drive, but worth every minute of it!!! Is Acadia awesome or WHAT???? Maybe we could hook up when I go there this summer and hike together... or eat a delicious dinner at Anthony's in Bar Harbor! God I hope GoPro doesn't read that.. I will get punished for even talking about drinking red wine and eating PASTA!! Ha!

I swear I LOVE that place... Is there anything better than being alone on a mountain, surrounded by silence with the sun on your face and the wind in your hair?? Well maybe there are a few things almost as good... wink.. wink..
