The best is when they pitch a tent while doing pull-ups. My mind goes directly into the gutter at the gym. Hey If you can't be good....BE GOOD AT IT!!!

1/2 cup brown rice.. all the other measurements are the same except my ham is .5 bigger grrr.... okay so that means I am upping the reps in my lower body workout and decreasing the weight...

Are you SURE you are measuing at the same point??



Drooping the weight is a bad idea imo -

you are too hung up on a measurement

I hate when the weights droop.

heehee

yeah shadow she is... she is refering to what happened to me the other day...

and I measured it a few times believe me... I can tell just by feeling my leg... So you dont think I should decrease the weight... I thought that would be better lower the weight and up the reps... hmmm....

Courtney, do you tend to put on size on your lower body faster? I know I do, and it's frustrating. How many reps do you do to combat this?

ah....lol


why would you drop the weight??


to lose muscle??


On your current stack, thats not likely to happen

 

[courtneybcca]

no no... I don't want to drop muscle I just don't want to add more... I don't need anymore muscle in my legs.. Just get rid of the little bit of fat hanging around...

I competitively figured skated and played for a rep fast pitch team growing up so yeah my legs are strong...

This morning I checked my measurements because last night when I was putting cream on my legs they felt bigger... UGGG... I was right... all the other measurements are the same except my ham is .5 bigger grrr.... okay so that means I am upping the reps in my lower body workout and decreasing the weight...

LOL, sweetheart you DO know that water retention can vary from day to day, from hour to hour, from minute to minute - what you could be feeling is simply water retention from diet, weights, cardio, or even hormones.

Don't stress about a measly .5 increase on ONE measurement.

See the forest through the trees .....

So true! Individual measurements only tell you what your body was doing at that particular moment in time. Several different measurements, the trends over time, how you feel, how your clothes fit, your level of energy. These are the "trees" that make up the "forest".
