Weight Training For Beginners

[Mrs Jeturbo]

Lmfao! 
 

Neither 🤣… bikini? I’m insulted tbh 🤣… 

IFBB Figure Division

 

Not gonna disclose the new job but it’s basically full time body building in a manner of speaking. 
 

Absolutely training wise doing it job or no jobs is the same in regards to training to a degree… but when your focus is on competition then it’s not just training that makes the progress… when it’s legit your full focus you have the time to get all the elements in check which is what yields the significant results. 
 

When your day consists of a coach dictating your days and they consist of food, training, food, steps, food, cardio, food, steps, meal prep, recovery & massage & therapies… it makes it much easier than having to go to “work” 8 hours a day… especially when you’re deep in doing 60 mins stairs every day plus 20,000 steps on 1200 cals or lower plus 2-3 hour weight sessions. 
 

Everyone likes to point toward roids 🤣 I’ll take it as a compliment… fact is, when you weigh every gram of food that goes in your mouth, make every session count and methodically train based on what your goals are with correct form and intensity and tick every box your coach tells you to… you’ll make astounding results…. Like losing 50% of your body mass… I’ve lost over 60kg to date. 

 

Its not everyone’s cup of tea 🤷🏼‍♀️… and its a lot harder at times than what I ever thought… having a huge mental fog or overcoming such fatigue to drag yourself up stairs for an hour when you literally have nothing left… can’t even string a sentence together at times because your mental focus doesn’t exist… 

 

But if it’s your thing and you’re willing to put in the work then it’s doable 🤷🏼‍♀️

 

Also, when you’re lean, you look bigger than what you are… I’m a size 6/8 in clothes, like small small… so I might look quite big, but its deceiving due to the level of lean. When I’m 3kgs heavier I look normal size 8 small female 🤣

Very impressive.

Discipline and dedication are atributes a lot of people think they have,  but very few can acually claim them.

Congratulations, your transformation is inspiring.

Your upper body is something most MEN would be very proud of.

Your quads are freakish, I hope you crush the opposition.

I was stirring the pot about the juicing anyway, initially. I know it's possible to look like you do without steroids, but to train for muscle gain so often without them isn't just mental focus, but physical impossibilities. Losing weight/mass can be forced, like you mentioned with the cardio and low calories, but to also gain muscle while training actively too much in your "recovery" period will just put you backwards. Seems like your coach has you sorted in this respect of training... and on the topic of the difficulties of a prep, for any IFBB division competitor is a huge task to overcome and not one to be trifled with. Good luck with the Figure division. I follow plenty of competitors in these divisions on IG and it seems there's a reasonable level of popularity for "bikini" hence the question and most females don't push too far past Wellness. I understand why now looking back at your photos why/how you're focusing on Figure above Wellness.

Good job on the transformation Dani, there was clearly a lot of work put into it.

[bossmang]

still wana marry you

Got back in the gym, it's been a while. Can still bench bw (115kg) for reps, not behd. Can squat bw for 10 reps, meh not behd, not great though.

 

Roughly 60% of the same time last year 😐

 

Be happy to deadlift 220kg this Xmas, see how it goes.

[k31th]

squatting bodyweight is easy, but if you're doing bodyweight + the bodyweight on your shoulders, yeah, that's harder ahha 

 

good work on getting back into it... you'll be smashing big numbers again in no time, I'm sure.

 

I'm in a de-load week but still smashing the gym 3 times per week.

[Puffwagon]

Yep shouldn't take long.

Went from a weight that last week was a 3rm, to the same weight today of a 5rm with 2 rir. Muscle memory ftw lol.

 

Looking forward to getting under some heavy iron in a few months.

 

I have a gym buddy now, he has a massive frame but not strong yet. We all start somewhere and I know that he'll get strong af soon too. After just 4 workouts he's gone from 50kg for 6 squats to to 75kg for 8. That's just the nervous system learning a movement pattern, we all plateau after a few months but pretty cool to see happen nonetheless.

 

Good times man, we're both natural lifters, I'm mid 40s, he's late 30s, pretty sure he'll overtake me eventually, but we'll farken see how it all goes 

[k31th]

always good to have a workout buddy to really push you along
