Ok, honestly, at the moment I am in no way strict, not compared to how I have previously been with kcals, just a general keeping track in my head.
But I guess this answers my question to if I should be concerned with a macro-nutrient ratio.
I didn't end up going to the class Wednesday, I went to a Thursday one instead; Boxfit, aerobic stuff based around punching pads with a partner, I then when down to look at the resistant equipment, from what I saw, I didn't see any free weights, So i plopped myself onto the nearest available machine and squinted at the instructions before positioning myself, choosing the weights (depending on the machine I went from 7.5-25kg) and worked
I started with something called ...
Arm Curl? I did 15x4
Arm extension 15x4
Chest press 15x4 think that's all I used.
I had to leave to get ready for class. My arms felt quite fatigued.
My shoulders ached slightly today, nothing horrendous tho.
I guess I should work out a regular plan so I use my time more effectively. I just need to read the machines and work out what they do!
My partner who is a criminal ~4.5%BF *jealous!* is lighting heavy weights with his nephew(a trainer) and is trying to bulk up. He thinks I will not achieve what I want with this method, that women become 'hench' from lighting heavy weights even without steroids and testosterone.
Even with everything I know, or have read about I know this isn't true, but I am quietly concerned about my already fat legs/thighs increasing in diametre with an increased muscle mass under the fat, can anyone clear this up? maybe with an article?
Thanks again
Hannah
