It is sooo true that people are generally misinformed about women and weight training (just scroll through pages on this forum and you'll see, "I don't want to get bulky"). It's a long hard road to convince them otherwise! Grocery bags, lugging around a vacuum, carrying a toddler all day - ALL weigh more than the pink dumbbells. STEP AWAY FROM THE PINK DUMBBELLS! |
Power cleans are a full body power exercise, your legs may be sore, but your traps will be killing you.

Wow!! I'm looking at the amazing pictures and absorbing all the information given here. I hope some day I'll look as great as y'all :). I still have a long way to fit land. Thanks belezura for posting this question and thanks Sacha, Daniela and all you wonderful girls for great information and support.

http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com//i...YS0jH1137.jpeg I do have to admit that I do feel more self conscious at the gym now then when I was 240. I like the muscles that are starting to show (thankfully so does my husband) but I feel like I get more looks. I don't know if it's because some other men/women think it's too much muscle. I'm trying to not care what others think because I like it and that's all that should matter. This body image stuff is tough sometimes huh? |

wow... I think I learned more in this threat about weight lifting than in months doing it.
I always try lift heavy (well, as heavy as I can) so I can see results. I never thought I would bulk from training. I wasn’t doing deadlifts though. And a quick search online show me I NEED to start doing it since it is very effective. Thank you again for all the info!!! |
It all depends on your genetics. I build muscles easily. When I started working out again after 2 weeks of cardio - 45 mins daily and 3 times per week for 2 weeks of weight training you could see clearly defined biceps and quads.
If you are prone to muscles then weith training at least 3 days of week and half hour or so of cardio will not hurt you at all. If your body takes a long time to show definition and you have a lot of fat ramp up the cardio. It all is about the look you want. A lot of studies contradict each other. Take what can help and ignore the rest. |
I have one more question for you guys:
I noticed lately that when I work hard (usually when the weight is high) I can feel my heart beating jumps. So is it possible that we work some cardio during weight training? |

There are lots of ways you can mix things up with weights to also get a cardio workout :D |
