Oh shit, I didnt see it that way!!!

Tit firmness test is also obsolete...Most fat ladies have big ass, firm perky tatas... I know I did... notice emphasis on "did" ?

Most women dont want thick shoulders, arms and legs!

They want "teenie waist, small thighs" and think bench pressing will give em firmer tits!

It's definately an ongoing issue trying to explain to the majority of females that no one becomes a bb by accident and they won't wake up one day and all of a sudden say omg that last workout made me so bulky!!! Some of us bust our asses trying to gain more mass but the general public still seems to think you can get big looking at dumbells.

There dont seem to be too many women Bodybuilders here??

Are there any women here that suffer with their time of the month (TOM). I should have trained today but i get migranes, feel really nauseous and extremely thirsty...this is every month!!!

hey its like the gym, stage and magazines...not many of us around!

women dont like to "build" they like to "tone"

To each his own right!

I get mild to moderate symptoms at TOM , but still train, even if lightly or just steady rate cardio..I find nothing helps like activity and endorphines (sp?) I usualy feel a whole lot bertter afterwards.

why not periodize loading paramaters and time unloading weeks around the TOM? Maybe that would help if you weren't going balls out...

Sorry, its necessary to get adequate stimulation. I cycle back to more reasonable rep ranges and higher mass within a few weeks. Must you be so formulaic? If you're trying to push for glycogen depletion (to boost storage), sometimes, thats what you do.

Horrible opinion...you have your clients hit 50 rep movements to technical failure I will have mine train hard and smart. It would be fine if the goals the had involved 50 rep sets, but 50 rep sets are needed by a tiny few.

If i want someone to squat for 20 hard reps (breathing reps) then I have them do it. Usually this is not necessary though.

glycogen depletion can be achieved by doing moderate reps and lower rest intervals. Does it matter which way you deplete it?

I was refering to the moronic nature of trainers that prescribe 15-20 reps of light weight because anything else would get you to 'bulky'.

Have you ever had the thought that she leads a busy life and has not had a chance to check back yet?

The key word there is thought, as in the past tense of "think." Most people aren't too good at thinking.

I am more of a Madonna/Linda Hamilton wannabe.....so not massive muscles but great definition....

My TOM has really thrown me this month, i feel so weak, it cant be normal

Cardio helps me most times - although I'm not plagued with the migranes and such... just irritable..

It seems every morning when I'm about in the middle of my program I get nauseated though... but I work through it..

I bust my ass every workout - mostly.. It takes so long to build this damn muscle anyway - shit..

L Armstrong · 10-20-2006, 03:02 PM

Well i realised why i felt so bad this month, i have now got flu and i feel baaaaaad.

I have done nothing for almost 2 weeks and i am stressing!

katt · 10-20-2006, 03:09 PM

No need to stress - let your body get better, rest, then start again.
