“Swole” only happens when you have the testosterone to build the muscles big. Even then, genetics plays a role as well. Go bodyweight training. It takes a lot more effort (and time) to become “swole” but you’ll still get the benefits of strength training.

3 Day fast?! Dang. I’ve yet to attempt anything beyond an 18-hour. I usually do a 16/8 four to six times per week depending on activity level.

 

I'm not saying this necessarily applies to you but maybe just something to think about. I heard of a trans woman doing lots of fasting, turned out she had anorexia and it was a part of her eating disorder.

Here is a video about it, her story and about Eugenia Coonery. The video and thumbnail is potentially triggering with some bare skin.

Hi thanks Lady B ^_^

grats on your weight loss btw. Don’t get discouraged about testosterone limiting muscle growth as a female. Patty and many girls are hecka jacked anyways. Lots of fish will help you get mo buff cause it’s got natural creatine in it

Day 26

Today will be 5/5 for training this week that’s good. Ate four meals yesterday happy with that. My numbers on pull-ups aren’t as high as they used to be but that’s okay cause I’ll grind them back up now I have a set routine to keep me focused )


Yoga 3 days a week is nice I like yoga a lot

working a skills day today so that should be fun and some yoga flow after . I hope they put up the hour flow soon on Asheville yoga on YouTube

@Lady Blåhaj do checkout the BMR calculator if you’d like in my prev post. It helped me realize I was eating 2500calories and needed 3-3.5k

so that’s why I was always craving pizza haha XD

k see y’all

 

Bodyweight and bands sounds like the way to go.

I did a 24-hr fast unintentionally once. I ate like a hog the next day. I may try it.

Don’t forget your nutrition. Diet most important part of weight loss/gain.

 

Hey that’s a good workout some pull push action

tai chi isn’t for me right now heheh. I’m erm probably gonna do some TKD I’m trying it out per a friend’s recommendation

Bruce is cool. I read the Tao of Jeet kun do. Which was good, ya I need to learn self control so I don’t get angry and go attack people

Hope this dojang can help me. I really love yoga haha. And ofc do what works for you I support that live and let live mentality

I heard 10m is the best for minimum Ammount of cardio to make gains. So I just walk ten minutes on rest days even walking in place or around the apt hehe

I sometimes jump rope but that’s kinda tiring I’m really digging the rest on rest days thing rn

Day 27

Trying out a dojang soon that’ll be fun

hope it goes well and helps me control myself when /if I get mad

did about 20mins of jump rope but took breaks throughout to jog or walk and keep the heart rate up. About 1500 jumps @-@ new record!

hehe, did 17 dips and 10 pull-ups. My records are 22 and 20. But I was on creatine when I did the twenty pull-ups so that’s kindaaa not as accurate?

Best I’ve done without creatine is 12 I think maybe thirteen

I wanna get to 30-20 dip pull-up someday

Om I stopped doing bikram yoga. Now I’m just doing Sun salutations in the morning and splits forward and backward folds after calisthenics

todays rest so I walked ten mins and gonna try to foam roll

Fooooaaaammmmm rolllllllllll

I’m at my gfs it’s nice my friend didn’t hit me back about meeting to hangout so that’s alright

I’ll probably chill here all day haha

I want to get better abs so maybe I’ll try to do more v ups and bicycle crunches on different days

they really aren’t that hard and don’t take much energy I think

ommm zen sleepy now

concert last night and stayed up till almost one

 

I have a similar setup where I can walk while doing my job. I usually just do 10-20mins of walking couple times a week. That’s good enough.

Ha I have a foam roller too. I don’t use it either! I’m trying to get myself to do it on rest days though. Just lay on it and roll the backside is the easiest way. If you can do that then add the front side cause that’s like rolling around in a plank like position. More tiresome.

Lol I was imagining rubbing mason jars on my stomachs like what?!

 

I’m doing sleeping what? I stayed up till three revamping the Naruto challenge. That was crazy lol. Now I’m tired and don’t feel like doin my training, at least I took a walk maybe fifteen mins . I’m so tired now crap I don’t feel like moving

I’ll find a way to study. Maybe I need to drop workouts to just twice a week and study everyday in the morning. That could work. I’ll still do upper lower instead of two days full body I think. Full body was so exhausting lol

 

Yep, I'm back to sleeping earlier. Like 1030pm . I was enjoying late nights too much and today was sleepy day
