[quote=Anonymous]F, 53, menopausal. I've been going to the gym twice a week for years and have been seriously trying to increase the weights I lift for the past 18 months. For overhead press and curls, I was stuck at 15 lbs for a long time, and then painstakingly inched my way up to 17.5 lbs. I tried to move up to 20, couldn't do it, and even 17.5 is killing me. Every time it feels like I'm starting from scratch, and I'm worried I'm going to injure myself and am tempted to go back down to 15. Is this normal? I try to eat the mandated grams of protein (though it's tough) and I don't want to do testosterone. I just want to know if this is normal or if there's something non-prescription-based I can do about it. [/quote]
