[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much weight are you all lifting? When I was regularly working out with weights (upper body 2/wk, lower body 2/wk 5-15lbs.) I dropped a size. I lost fat and gained muscle tone.[/quote] The other PPs must be eating a ton of protein and not doing any cardio, because, like you, weight lifting has made me go down a size. But that said, I eat a lot of carbs and don't buy into the Atkins stuff. I lift about 15 to 20 for light weight stuff (arms and shoulders) and up to 80 for squats and dead lifts. I don't use machines, only free weights. And I mix in compound movements. I also run usually daily.[/quote] Maybe, but my guess is we have different body types. We respond differently to weight lifting than many (most) women. It is what it is, and it’s also complete BS that women can’t get bigger from lifting.[/quote]
