Women's Weight Training Myths

[angeleigh]

Really sis. Every month kasi almost the same date ako nagkakaron. Eh I started working out, ayan delayed na ako ng 1 week.

I am not preggy naman coz wala akong 'activities' hehe.

[caeca]

ah, wala bang "activities"?  what's your workout and diet like? kasi if you're in too much of a deficit (like working out too often, too intensely, plus super diet), it can throw your cycle off.

[angeleigh]

^Wala, single eh. hehe.

Yeah, maybe i work out too often. Nagkaron na ako, but unlike before na 1st and 2nd day super lakas, ngayon, 2nd day pa lang parang pa-wala na. Yay.

[icegayle]

^Sis pareho tayo 3rd day ko wala na. Bakit kaya?

[angeleigh]

^Siguro nga sis kasi active na tayo ngayon.

I read somewhere, na yung mga athletes daw, minsan thrice a year lang nagkakaroon because of their rigid training.

[zrach]

Have you guys read New Rules Of Lifting For Women? It's great. Explains why women should lift weights etc.

[angeleigh]

^Book ba yan sis? Or can we read it online?

[zrach]

It's a book. It comes with a weight training plan din that's good for 1 year for you to follow

[feline13]

question sisses, im also doing squats pag naggym pero hindi heavy weights, pansin ko lang parang mas natotone ang legs ko, pero yung butt hindi masyado.. ano ba dapat gawin dun..gusto ko kasi pati butt magtone.

[zrach]

^more weights, lesser reps IMO

[melai1010]

I lift weights 3x a week-- men's program 

I do boxing twice a week

_ never lumaki muscles ko ika nga sabi nila pag boxingera daw kakatakot tignan,ang effect sakin naging lean lang at nawala ang sagginess due to pregnancy gain weight
_i learned na important na active ang muscles para maka aid sa pag lose ng weight.. and opinion ko lang,kaya andami paring mataba sa mga aero class at yung mga everyday kong nakikitang nag jjogging dito samin antaba parin kahit mag diet pa- kasi they are lacking strength and endurance training from lifting weights

sis melai, pansin ko din yun pag puro cardio lang.. saka nasabihan din ako ng trainer ko, na hwag daw ako takbo ng takbo LANG. important pa rin ang weights para may shape...

[melai1010]

Yup- actually twice a week lang yung pinaka cardio ko- yun na yung mga boxing trainings ko and i noticed din doon-- those who dont touch the dumbells ay mabagal mag shed ng fats kahit pa mas madalas sila mag boxing.and madali pang hingalin

[ellix]

you guys drink protein shakeS?

[angeleigh]

^^yep agree. ganyan na rin ang program ko. nung nagbabawas kami ng fat mass, karamihan sa program ko cardio. tapos nung pumayat na ako at mga 13% na lang fat to lose ko, puro weight lifting na kami para matone na ang body. kasi kasabay na rin daw yun na mawawala yung remaining na fats.

[ellix]

anong protein powder intake mo sis?

[[-c-h-a-]]

girls, I do weight training every other day with a 5kg dumbbell.. 10 reps, 3 sets, full body, compound exercises as previously suggested in this thread.. do I still need to incorporate at least a bit of cardio to get abs in 3 months? lol it's doable naman diba as long disiplinado talaga? And I intend to kasi may challenge kami ng asawa ko.. sabi ko, give me 2-3 months

I also take 5000mg green tea caps before I workout para sa fats. I'm buying fish oil too so I can take it in the morning

any suggestions? tamad kasi ako magcardio.. aside from that, wala ring time... so i'd rather do weight training.

[ellix]

what green tea caps mo sis?

[[-c-h-a-]]

^I buy it from here in Australia from a local drugstore... 1 tablet is 10,000mg! So I break it in half. Before I used to take it whole, pero kasi kung iincorporate ko l-carnitine and chitosan, baka naman ang OA lol
