Hi everyone I'm Amanda new to forum, just wanted to say hi hoping to get some help and support on here. I'm very new to body building started 8 weeks ago just had my first weeks break and moving onto an 8 week push leg pull routine

So far I've lost almost 40 inches from all over my body and have lost 35 pounds in weight another 28 to go. I started on tiny tiny weights and ant believe how quickly I've progressed eg deadlits gone from 20kg to 75kg chest press dumbbell gone from 3kg to 10kg in each. I'm so impressed with myself and hope to journal my workouts and of course check out what others taper doing.

Any help will be appreciated I'm like a sponge at the moment for knowledge. Please say Hi
