I had a breast reduction about 15 years ago. I was a size 34D at the time. I wanted to be a 34B but the surgeon (who was a male) would only reduce me to a 34C-,, He thought a B cup would not be...

Wow I can't believe how rude some people are that post in this forum. Swearing, telling people they are babbling and delusional. Telling people not to post because they don't know what they're...

Thank you Meldorado and critterbug. Finally someone who understands what I am trying to say. I really believe that it is just plain easier for some people to gain and maintain their muscle while...

sorry I still have to disagree. Being fat, thin, muscular or soft is more than just overeating or undereating, exercising hard or not. I'll give you a real world example. My husband. He is 54 years...

The ****totype make be debunked as far as personality traits go. However, I have read a lot and I mean a lot of articles on building muscle and most still refer to the three body types. It is...

Agree. Most devices are very inaccurate. You can also use a tape measure to measure your bust, waist, hips and tummy to see the change.

I was just on a website that told me I was an Ectomorph/mesomorph. 63% ecto ad 38% meso. Ectomorphs have small frames, narrow shoulders, long limbs, a fast metabolism and have a hard time gaining...

I agree carbs are not bad. If you have a wheat intolerance you can get carbs from veggies, fruit or dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt). 30 g. of carbs is sooo low. Is that per day, per meal? Heck when I...

I have used lifting gloves the whole time I have been lifting and haven't had a callous yet. The BB's and DB's at my gym all have gnarled metal grips as do most of the machines. I lift heavy (for...

Do more reps/sets with your left arm. My left arm and also my left leg are both weaker than my right and my former trainer told me to start with the weaker limb and do more sets and or reps. This...

Not much :( This week I did 80 lbs. for bench press, 75 lbs., for squats and 70 lbs. for deadlifts. But hey, they are all up from a month ago so I'm happy. :)

Obviously the ladies that answered me didn't think it was a silly question. They all gave me good advice and now I have an idea of what I need to do and how long to bulk for to accomplish my goals....

I take a sip from my water bottle, stand up and stretch, watch the clock to time my rests, talk to other people that are there that may know. I rarely have my phone with me and when I do I usually...

Thanks Kimm

Good for you. Good luck with it.

Well I guess I can't recomp then. Because I ate at maintenance and lifted heavy for years and my weight stayed the same and strength stayed the same. No fat gains, no muscle gains, no anything gains....

Meg and Luna,

Thanks for the advice. Yes I was looking for female input because I wanted advice from females who had been through it. I didn't mean to imply that all advice from men is not...

How would anyone know your age. Your head is cutoff in your avatar and you don't post it.

In order to gain muscle you have to eat over calorie maintenance (bulk). In order to loose fat you have...

Thanks Ladies. You all gave good advice. This is what I was looking for. I will go at least 6 months and then see where I'm at with strength gains. :)

***Sigh***
I was hoping to get some guidance from the ladies on here that bulk as to how I can determine it's time to stop and start cutting back on the calories to loose the excess fat. Instead I...
