Congrats on the weight loss! And incredible stats you had when you were bodybuilding!! Here's a link with some nice information about working out during and just after pregnancy: http://www.stumptuous.com/womenstuff.html

Wow, good squat, NDGirl! Actually, I can do almost the weights you use on d.b. press and incline d.b. press (mine are 16 and 14 kg, yours 18 and 16), but my squat isn't anywhere near yours ... OK, I only started doing squats about 1.5 months ago, after months of other leg workout ... Am curious...

LOL, if only I could exchange my Mensa membership for those merits! :D (except for hating the gym that is, I LOVE it! ;))

Very good indeed! Yesterday I saw an obese man in our gym who did not cardio, he was only doing strenght training. And he was VERY, impressively strong! :) He was so fat he had to sit the wrong way around on the latpully, but the weight he used (with good form) :p I hope he has a good diet ...

Beefy Bull, I haven't seen any research on that .. Usually the sperms themselves are quite vulnerable, so while you take DNP (and quite some time after, because it accumulates in your body), probably your sperm will be of low quality. DNP f*cks up your ATP-production and ATP (energy) is...

One thing I learned from my (not very succesful) relationships is: you can NEVER change anyone!!! You can encourage them to change, but if they don't want to (and my boyfriends didn't), you can either accept or leave them. As I'm a very picky person, I chose the last. Smoking is the worst, I...

:FRlol:

Exactly the same here! Except for on the inside of my thighs, high up, I can't grab any of the fat on my upper legs w/o pain. On my calves I can though. And also on my upper body.

My goal for the next 3 months or so is to get my upper arm strength up ... I found out I overtrained my arms for 2.5 months (of the 7 months of working out in total). The overtraining is because I changed from a (succesful) push/pull schedule to back/tri-chest/bi 2.5 months ago and I didn't...

On a low carb diet you'll lose a lot of glycogen in the beginning and as 1 gram of glycogen binds 4 grams of water, most of the initial weight loss will be water. Water is also being measured as lean body mass. As I read, you only started a few days ago, I wouldn't worry if I were you. After the...

The bodybuilder will certainly get more attention in the streets, I'm sure of that. But the 'beach boy' look certainly gets my hormones running while the bodybuilder look is very impressive, but not at all sexually arousing (to me at least).

This is some very good advice! A very experienced guy told me lately he would advise people to do rotator cuff excercises while doing only flyes (no benches) and stretching chest really well for a week or 3, 4 and they would never do it, UNLESS he told them, their bench would go up 10 kg or so...

Fawnmarie, who cares about the weight on your barbell? Even if you would have to do them with an empty barbell, if the weight is good for YOU, that's all that counts! I started doing barbell squats a few weeks ago (finally found a gym with a squat rack) and I used the empty barbell for the...

My gym is quite small, I doubt if there are any women that would want to workout in the same way. At least I know there are none who workout like me now (I know, because the gym owner told me). And men .. Oh well, I feel they don't even want to take advise of me, let alone ask me as a spotter...

Veggie, I think she means, if you have a special talent for a certain sport, try it. And women with narrow hips are (like men) better runners than women with broad hips in general. Of course it's not the only thing that counts, but having broad hips makes it easier to give birth, but harder to...
