[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fatigue happens.  It could be hormonal.  It could be energy/food consumption related.  It could be sleep.  But def don’t write off continuing to lift.  It’s less important that you are going up in weight than you are just lifting and lifting consistently to failure - some days are just harder than the last. There are so many factors that go into it.

Plus, there are lifts and certain muscles that you’ll work that are not fit for heavy weights.  And doing a 8 pound weight without ever really increasing the it in pounds, will do the job without causing injury.

I am not an expert, but closing in on 50 and actually seeing muscle for the first time in my life - Which I owe to consistency and small gains over time, but not all the time.   I do Caroline Girvan workouts.  Free on YouTube or minimally priced on an app.  The programs are an awesome way to follow a routine that hits needed muscles on certain days with needed rest for worked muscles throughout the week.  I’d give it a look.  She does not specifically target menopausal women, but has so many routines you could find something that suits you for sure![/quote]
