Femanon Fitness General /fem-fg/

what do their braps smell like yall think?

guess i'll start: how do i know if i've injured my back? I did some deadlifts on tuesday and on friday i tried to do squats but my middle lower back twinged. Should I wait for it to completely heal before doing anything back-related again?

Ok, so, girl to girl talk, do you go on gym while on period?
I always skip it at LEAST the first 4 days when my flow is too much. The sad thing is that i can't get to use tampons, so I rely only on pads.
Any girls with similar problems? Any advice on how to maybe not bleed for a couple of hours?
I usually just do some bw squats at home, maybe some push ups, that sort of thing.

>>42229236
megsquats has a video where she talks about this, i think she uses a cup thingy

>>42229268
just watched the vid, p interesting, but still doesn't really solve my problem.
The thing is, I've never had anything shoved into my vagina, I haven't even ever masturbated that way, and the one time i tried to get a tampon there hurt like hell.
I'm more or less asking for a way to go to the gym on my period without having to shove things in there.
Nice chanel tho, I didn't know her, thank you

>>42229236
Why don't you go on your period? Afraid your pad might leak and you embarrass yourself in the gym? You go to the gym to make good impression or to lift?

This is why this thread is a bad idea

>You go to the gym to make good impression or to lift?
I go to lift, but, would you risk going there and shit all over yourself?
I don't do shit like wear make up in there, but yeah, i don't want everyone to see my blood either

i always go, but i'm on birth control and the flow isn't that much. i don't think pads will move around too much if you're just doing the big lifts

pic related, you can use a overnight pad which is less prone to leaking out the side

>>42229064

I use those pads all the time already.
Also I've never been to a gynecologist. Is it possible to get birth control pils without a perscription?
This really drives me insane, it's very annoying to lose 4-6 days of gym just because of something you don't even have any control over

The fact that you have never had anything inside of you is really fucking weird and kind of immature. With gentle movements it shouldn't hurt putting anything inside of you. Use tampons like an adult holy shit

yes, I know, that's why I'm talking about this here, when I can be anonymous. It's not like I'm proud of this.

>With gentle movements it shouldn't hurt putting anything inside of you
maybe I'll try masturbating first, because the tampon btfo'd me and it was the smallest one too

thanks for making the thread, femanon.
I had some plans come up last night, couldn't be home soon enough.

>>42229086
hey anon, you should try some lower back stretches for the time being, and maybe ask for someone you know to give you a deep tissue massage (it's not complicated to do, and helps greatly). I suggest you wait a couple days still.

>>42229236
At first, it felt really awkward feeling all the fluids moving around while doing exercise, and I was hyper-conscious of if there'd be a smell coming out when I squatted or something. I can't do tampons either, it just doesn't feel right to me.
I think I can do the squat plug thing or menstrual plug if they're strong enough.

>>42229432
this, I use overnight pads (maxi) which are much comfier and have more fallout space. Also I make sure to wear extra tight black panties (and pants) to make sure the pad has nowhere to go.
Sure it may be visible perhaps in such a compressed space, but it's that or having bloody pants.

>>42229511
Don't listen to that girl (male), it's not immature and weird. I never masturbated internally until I was like twenty or something, only ever did a couple buttstuff things on myself. Anyway, I won't get into details, but it's fine to not require internal stimulation (most girls are clitoridian), I didn't need some until much later in life when I found men and their dicks. I'd rather take that, than to have to fingerblast myself/use a lifeless dildo.
Moral of the story don't be ashamed about it, in this world people will try and shame you whether you take 10 inch rods in your hole or can't stick a baby carrot in. It's just the way it is.

Any cutting femanons here?

I am in need of couple of pieces of information and advice regarding water weight in general.

1. I noticed that during my period, a couple days before, essentially due to bloating I think, I gain about a kg of water weight, and it takes me a couple of days to lose it. Any tips to minimize the bloating, speed up the water weight shedding?

2. I posted this in /fat/, but maybe some of you gals had it happen to you and can give me the rundown on what's going on :

>mfw just out of a two week water weight gain, plateau and regression to previous weeks, three days ago.
>mfw it happens again yesterday, weight up again
>mfw today it's plateaud at that new gained waterweight still

This shit can't keep going on...I can't lose 0.6kg in a week, then gain back 0.5kg in water, then stall there for a week, then lose it the next day + some scraps, and a few days later gain water weight again ???

I'm controlling my sodium, my carbs are low and I have been drinking enough water for my body.
What the fuck is this shit? I weigh and scan everything autistically, I'm at a 700 calorie deficit?

I'm going to keep going, but I was already some five months away from goal weight, I don't see myself staying sane if it's gonna take me ten just to shed the last 7kg.

tl;dr : constant up and down in water weight ever since I've been under the 52kg range. What gives? What do?

>>42229605
Water has no energy in it. Even if you gain weight in water you should still be able to have fat loss going on. The bloating from water weight is annoying but that shouldn't deter you from losing actual fat.

>>42229236
My period is heavy, so wear a tampon, a pad, take advil for the cramps and go

>>42229500
t.huge slut who has had every hole stuffed multiple times

>>42229617
Thanks for the sound advice, I knew about the fact that it wouldn't hinder my fat loss already, but I think it's very relevant information to share to others anyway, who might not know about it already.
It's really not a deterent, as I said I'll keep going anyway, but I guess I wanted something more along the line of a linear weightloss (I know, quite the abstract ideal).
I need to work on accepting that it might become a constant recurrence.

>>42229636
>t. huge slut (male) who has had every hole stuffed multiple times
fixed that for you

>>42229635
does advil really work? I think I took it a couple times and it did jack shit to me, at least. I only get bad cramps the first two days. My periods are long, like seven days long. Anyone has a remedy for cramps, other than ibuprofen/advil and hot baths? Thanks.

>>42229605
If its bloating dont worry about it
also on a cut seeing similar things, but I just keep it at a deficit and i know my body will come back around. Are you truly eating what you think you are? log and count literally everything you eat/drink, make sure you really are eating at a deficit

>>42229658
first day i take tylenol 3 and advil, rest of the days advil is fine alone. personal preference, but i get really bad cramps

thanks for the concern about me really consuming what I log. Yes, I scan everything that is branded, I have a digital scale with 1g accuracy, and all my produce and fresh food I weigh in to the gram too. I log everything, I double check my meals before consuming them. I log first during the cooking process.

>>42229664
I'm going to look into tylenol 3. Not sure we have it in Yuroland but there must be an equivalent with the same active ingredients. Big pharma is everywhere after all, just different brands/generics... Thanks for the tip.

Essentially a squat plug is like a menstrual cup which we already have, except we don't put it in our butt, but in our vaginas (which can take it).
It might be a meme for you guys, but to us girls - in the case of our periods - it's far from being a meme.

WRONG. We're not here to cater to our social/cultural needs, but to our biological ones.
Do you think we're going to ask men about advice regarding period flow, or to help us get an idea on a female linear progression on such program, do you think males will have a better idea than another woman will do?

>if you need another safe haven (which is not your huge group of friends and orbiters)
Yeah, I don't think Stacies lurk this board on the daily. Most you'll get here are gymcelles like me, and beta (semi-)normies. My friend count : 1 (my boyfriend). But it's not the point, since we're not here for attention. Thanks but you don't have to host us here, this is not your place, we have just about enough rights to be here than you.

>>42229800
Oh that's a good idea. I stopped drinking coffee about three months ago. Been on only water since then. For no good reason that to have less sugars. I might have a cup of black coffee today.

Femanons,

I'm trying to get my gf to workout with me and run with me

I think she's attractive, but I think her lifestyle is eventually going to make her fat. I think that if she lost a little weight she would be a sexy goddess

I've tried to explain that I'm happy to support her in whatever she does and that I'd go jog with her and stuff. I've told her that I think it'd be cute to workout together and that couples that workout together stay together (she wasn't happy about that last part and she thinks I'm not happy with her)

What's the best way to get her to work out or work out with me? How can I get her to lose the weight

>>42229909
true. Honestly I've been better off ever since I stopped added sugars all through and through my diet, but if this coffee trick is working well for me, I'll cop a bag of stevia from the shop next time I'm there. I'll only need it for this cut though, I'm not much of a tinfoil hat "food industry is cancer" conspiracist (other than for the obvious stuff), but it makes me feel cleaner not to have unnatural sugars (fructose and lactose are more than enough to me).
Could be I am just being neurotic about it.

I think this thread is keeped alive by a disgusting female fatso that thinks she is a "powerlifter" becouse she can barely squat 1pl8. She got assblasted becouse outside this thread, nobody is giving her attention she desires, so she decided to create her personal worship thread. I don't understand why this is still up, tits or gtfo.

>>42229940
Okay, anon, I did some digging back in the previous thread because there has been a couple anons like you who came forth asking for a similar question. I know you don't have the time to sift through the thread, and I'm not sure I can link posts from an archived thread, but I can give you a tl;dr :

what has been said mostly, is that you should try to reward and validate any positive effort made to improve oneself, minimize the costs of exhertion at first to let the whole journey appear easier than it is, and then gradually ease her into comfortable schedule and routine. Make her feel secure and entice her with rewards, like fitness related gifts (a sport outfit she wants, treat her to a healthy restaurant, cook for her a romantic dinner but brand it as really healthy), and try to involve her in fitness related hobbies first (make her watch female weightlifting comps, get her interested in the culture around it).


>>42229978
same! Artificial sweeteners really taste like ass to me. I just got this peculiar idea that I might mix my oats with my cup of black coffee. Not sure it'll have the same effect as a clean liquid speedrun through my body, though. Will add some strawberries for sweetness.

>>42230003
I never took BC for multiple reasons in the past, and right now I talked about it with my boyfriend when we were considering contraceptive options not to have a child right now, and from what he told me, it can cause ovarian cancer, have effects on the children you birth, messes up hormones and, as you can tell from my precedent post about ditching unnatural sugars, I'm pretty much trying to live life all natural right now, so I think I'll take 2 days a month of agony, and not risk it for now. I'm already almost to mid twenties, so there's like fifteen years more of this shit at best, I guess. Thanks a lot for proposing this alternative though, I'm sure it could help alleviate the symptoms of periods, which is what I asked for.

>>42230152
I was thinking about doing something similar to what you're suggesting

I want to just start off jogging straight-aways and walking turns for a mile on the track, super easy stuff. Eventually I want to get up to at least a mile with her, kinda like couch to 5k

Then I told her we could shower off together and have sex in the shower. After that I was gonna surprise her and go shopping with her and buy her a new dress or something and maybe something fitness related

How can I make her understand that I'm not doing this because I'm not happy with how she is?

The way I see it, anon, you're the one getting assblasted. Not sure who that fatso female powerlifter you're talking about it, as it's certainly not me (51.8kg here) but I am the maker of the first of these generals, and I wrote the OP's sticky.
I don't think a personal worship thread can successfully hit bump limit with around 70 posters, a good half of which were femanons sharing tips, stats, their struggles with lifting/dieting, etc... So in my opinion, this thread has achieved what it was intended for :
>centralizing the female presence in the board
>catering to the female specific questions
>debloating the board from threads like "how to get a bubble butt" which popped up on the daily here.

And it has done more, amongst other things :
>we've helped a good number of anons (male) figure out how to help the females in their lives with specific lifts, giving them routine ideas, and advising them on how to bring them into the fitness aspect of their lives.

If I wanted attention, or if any of the girls here were here for that, the kind of girls we would be wouldn't be here to ask for attention. There's other places for those needs.

First of all, anon, I'd like to compliment you on how good of a boyfriend you are. You really are a gem, thinking about your girl's health, and willing to go at lenght to pamper her into realizing the benefits of it. That is super cute!

Great plan, for everything. The jogging plan is solid, just make it seem not too obvious you're upping the ante when you do, so she doesn't realize she'll have to put in more work, until she's done it and then you can point it out and congratulate her on achieving it.

The shower sex, the shopping (make sure to tell her that her legs look really good in that dress, it must be the running taking effect -even if it's not still, the confidence boost will make her see it), and for something fitness related, a nice pair of running/lifting shoes (ask her to choose a model she likes, involve her completely in the process so she starts to dig the fitness style as well and develop a taste for it much more).

I think the issue here is not about you proving to her that you're not unhappy with her current state, but to make her see that she's clearly projecting how she feels about herself on you (she's the one unhappy with how she is, but doesn't admit it, or isn't conscious of it yet).
Don't feel bad about it yourself, you're the one trying to make a positive change for her.
My take would be not to take the "it's for your health" angle just yet, not until she's committed.
I'd suggest you go with "it's a hobby and I would like to include you in it, we don't do much activities together". This really works the interpersonal relationship angle, rather than the personal betterment one.

so it's looking like i'll be hanging out at my mom's for more than just the weekend i initially thought. i was supposed to be lifting today and again on monday, but might not make it back home until wednesday.

is going that long without lifting going to kill all my gains? is there anything i could be doing maybe outside to limit loss of gains?

i'd do some at home stuff here but feel kinda weird doing it in the apartment with my stepdad around.

>>42230319
hey VG, sorry to hear about your current circumstances.
Don't worry about your gains, you won't lose that much till wednesday, however you won't make the progress you were supposed to make on the days you'll be missing. Still, you'll make this progress when you pick it up again, which is soon, so don't despair.

About the home workouts, maybe try and isolate yourself in a closed space if you feel strange about your stepdad. Like in a room you can lock, or the bathroom.

I really like that tattoo. I might get one when I finally make it.

>>42230316
Thanks!

I appreciate the advice. I said something almost exactly along the lines of "working out is a hobby I enjoy doing and I thought it'd be cute if we did it together" earlier.

She did say something about her not feeling like she was cute recently. I asked why and said that I thought she was the cutest etc. but she just said she didn't know why

linear progression is linear progression.
now im a dude, so i dont know none of that shit, but i would suggest its the same no matter what fucking gender you have, maybe you just progress slower or with less weight, its not hard, just use your brain

Anyone else find this whole display of autism amusing, its like im back in the 6th grade.

>>42230411
Oh it's your tattoo? That's really cool. Yeah, it's an artform and has aesthetics just like lifting. Some may have a greater taste for it than others.

>>42230412
Listen pal, I know it's hard actually being in contacts with females who can actually intellectually challenge you on a domain you proud yourself to be really knowledgeable on, but please get to a level where it's possible to communicate like human beans.

What do you think I meant by female linear progression, if not for what you yourself realized it could entail :
>progress slower (surprisingly not on S/DL for beginners but you probably skipped through the female parts of PPFST)
>less weights (a given)

and many more such as :
>we have different intensity rates based on our max reps since we can literally take our intensity higher up to 80% of our max reps, because we're built to endure (source? PPFST)
>we use different loading patterns than you guys.

I don't expect a guy to be an expert on the female aspects of strenght programming.
If you couldn't already tell, I'm using my brain.
Thanks for trying to break the "gender" divide by saying in itself a program is a program, but if the variables such as sex are different for two sets of population, expect different protocol.

Yeah right, friend, I'm pointing fingers here. I've adressed reasonably each commentary that was made to justify the reasoning behind the making of this thread, not because I needed to seek out a personal revenge.

>>42230771
Personally I don't think it's worth the side effects, the health risks for you and your future children either. However if you track your cycles well, you can get an idea of when the occasional creampie is possible with very little risks of impregnation. Other days, I'll just take it in the ass/mouth, or he'll wear a condom if he wants to cum "inside".

not gonna lie, I'm sure there is some thrill some people seek in having unprotected sex that could leave them with a kid, but I'm way past the thrill seeking at this point, and me and the bf are smart about it and want to plan our pregnancies for after we're settled well.
If we fuck up and I get pregnant because he or I couldn't resist it and we had him creampie me on an ovulating day, well we're not going to feel bad about it either. Shit happens.

>>42230863
worksafe board. didn't even mean to include that in the original pic; was just trying to show tattoo :S

I started doing intermittent fasting, and I'm wondering if anyone's been doing the same, and for how long, with what results?

I feel pretty good most of the time, but there are days when I feel like I've had the life sapped out of me, and getting to the gym right after breaking the fast has me feeling fairly light-headed and weak. Is it just a matter of adjustment, or can I expect to just have days where focusing and exerting effort are going to suck until much later in the day?

My diet sucks, but my lifting and workout plan are solid. My husband likes to undermine my efforts by taking me out to eat and insisting that I make him the most unhealthy meals. I end up making his dinner and mine separately, but I have little self control on certain days, and I end up eating what I cook for him.

It's like a constant vicious cycle of me making up for the calorie sins with HIT and then him taking us out for indulgences later.

Any way to confront this? There's no way out of me preparing meals for him, and I tried brown rice once, and it didn't end well.

>>42229454
Not a women so don't know about prescription. I always recommend girls I'm getting romantically involved with to use an IUD. It regulates periods as well and has a signicantly less amount of hormones than the pill. The pill just fucks with your system too much, even the low dose ones from what I've been told by girls on it.

They don't always do it or are too lazy, but I make the case cause its superior and I've noticed a positive differernce from IUD users.

i've heard that bulletproof type coffee can be a big help here. staves off hunger and give you a ton of energy. so maybe before you cook for husband, you can drink some butter coffee? then hopefully you won't feel so inclined to eat the food you make him.

i have noticed that with coconut oil in my coffee before work i can more easily make it the entire 8-12 hour shift without eating.

also have you tried just sitting down with your husband and having a respectful and polite conversation about your goals and how he's making it more difficult for you?

I'll try the coffee with coconut oil. Much as I like butter, the combo of coffee and it sound unholy. I normally drink a cup in the morning while he eats, but it's always the smells of his food that makes it hard to resist. I'll try the oil, though, and it'll probably at least make me not so crazy hungry later in the day.

We've talked about it, and it's a waiting game at this point. He's a shift-worker and doesn't have time when he works to cook. I pick up the slack for now. When we talk about lifestyle changes he says he's willing to try new foods so that I can cook less, but whenever I do cook something healthier he suddenly backs down.

Essentially I just need to tell him to stick to his promise and put the broccoli in his goddamn mouth.

hey anonette, first a quick rundown on what I used to do in terms of IF so you know my background before I tell you what works for me :
>16:8 IF for a month
>18:6 IF for 2 months
>23:1 IF + OMAD for 3 months

Personally, I found that there is a time of adjustment needed, a good buffer zone of a couple of weeks, before you can really make the most of your energy right after breaking fast.
I've been put in induced food comas on a 700 calorie meal many times after a 23 hour fast.
Give yourself at least 45 mins for food to start breaking down, and to get the nutrients, as well as for the high/rush of nutrients to fad a bit.
You said your diet sucks, I think you should focus on at least hitting your protein macro, not matter how clean/dirty the rest is, otherwise the solid workout plan will be worthless.
When you go out to eat, choose lean meats, whole wheat pasta, beans, the kind of sides you can find at restaurants that basically have a protein side to them. Don't pick empty carbs. Fill up on the veggies before hitting your carbs, but after eating protein. If you eat what you make to him, consider making him high protein foods you can eat too, that aren't too lean so as he doesn't notice it's obvious too much.

If I do enough squats will I get an azz like this?

anonette, I already responded to your first post, but with that new information, I gotta relate.
My boyfriend has an ungodly 16hr night shift at a physical job, and never has the time to cook.
Right now we're not living together so I can't cook for him, but I'll be moving in with him soon and I told him I would cook for him. He's willing to eat good, and has started going to the gym too. It took me time to convince him to at least try and hit his macros. You can make it, just keep cooking him the good stuff, he'll eventually give in and try it, and see it's not so bad.
What does he like to eat in general?

Bloating may possible be a signal to actually drink more water. It's probably good watching sodium intake at that point and maybe getting some potassium to signal peeing (not to mention staying on like 9 tall glasses of water). For potassium, I would get some OJ.

>>42229978
Stevia is a plant. The leaves are what taste best though, like eating mint leaves vs. the whole.

Question for you femanons:

My girlfriend recently got back into weight lifting, and she's started blowing up like crazy. Like she was kinda chubby before, about 5'7 150, but since she's started lifting she's gained about 20 pounds. Did any of you experience this problem? It's definitely a lot of fat. What should I do to help her out?

>>42231213
thanks for the pointers towards potassium. I do get about half of my recommended amount, I guess I'll get some OJ+Banana going on for a couple days, see where that gets me.

>>42231266
checked. Is she dirty bulking or was that weight gained over a reasonable amount of time (say 2 pounds a month)? Also did you get a bf% ? If she's gained most of it as fat, she either hasn't lifted heavy enough, or cheated on the program, didn't get her protein in..could be many reasons.
Tell her it's time to cut ("to see your muscle gains babe" even if it's a lie and she's still dyel), then once she's at a decent base again, get her to start a good program on a clean bulk that is controlled regularly (check sticky's infographic imgur for a clean bulk infographic).

>>42230737

By far not butt hurt or bothered let me remind you that i find your childish behaviour and the rest of the people display childish behaviour amusing like i stated before.

Is benching 1pl8 for reps impressive for a 5'6" or so grill? How long would that take? Just curious since I'm only doing that much and I'm a guy and way taller

>>42231326
She wasn't really bulking or eating THAT much of a caloric surplus. It was gained over a 2 month time span. And her last bodyfat percentage was at 19. Previously it had been at 26. But she LOOKS fatter now too. Her thighs have gotten massive.

Personally, I don't care that much. I'm glad she's lifting and if she becomes thicc then whatever. But I know it's bugging her so that's why I'm wondering what she is doing wrong. Unless it's just genetics

>>42231416
better than most guys/girls at my gym so yea

>>42231416
dont give it a thought faggot. That is currently how much you can lift so lift it and gradually through commitment you will be reping 2pl8. (6-8 months easy if you push yourself)
You're not gonna see a thot doing 2pl8 in 5 lifetimes

>>42231456
20 pounds in 2 months, going from 150 to 170.
Mate, it was THAT much of a caloric surplus.
One pound of fat is gained over 3500 calories (in surplus of TDEE), so your gf consumed roughly
TDEE+3500 for a twenty days out of that month to get to where she is.
You probably think she isn't eating that much because she's a secret eater, who eats most of it when you're not there. Gonna have to do some talking and address the situation. That much gained in a month, it's literally danger zone to lead to landwhale status.

If advil or pamprin doesn't help, your cramps are probably more severe than the average female. I was taking tramadol and muscle relaxers for my cramps, because otherwise I was fainting or vomiting from the pain. It turned out to be a combination ovarian cyst and endometriosis, my left ovary no longer functions properly because I waited so long to get it examined. I always thought that everyone had it so painful and didn't want to seem like a wheeny. Maybe you should look into it or at least go in for a ultrasound with your obgyn to make sure it's not something more sinister.

Don't let your pain be diminished by other woman who assume it's "just" cramps. There is a limit for the amount of discomfort you should be experiencing.

>>42231198

I read you first post, and thank you for the advice! I'll give it a little more time, and I'll focus on working my way up to a longer fast. Your nutrition advice seems solid.

16 hours is a crazy long shift. I assume he's either an emergency responder or works as a nurse, but either way, that can't be good for the body.

My husband eats white rice, chicken, beef, soybeans, alfredo, mahi mahi, corn chips, hummus, spinach, and carrots if uncooked. He'll tolerate bell peppers if I mince them and hide them in things. That's what he will eat, as the list of what he won't eat is much longer. Home boy doesn't like potatoes. I didn't think he was serious at first, but he's the only person I know to even turn down french fries.

It's good that you're going to be moving in with him, as hopefully it'll save you both some money. Have you discussed chores and division of labor? When I moved in with my husband we used to split cleaning and whatnot between us, but as he works more than I do, I eventually got saddled with ALL the housework. Even when I started doing 14 hour days he wouldn't lift a finger around the house on his off days. I finally flipped out on him, and since then he's been okay at it. Only problem is that I have to treat him more like a child and ask him to do things around the house, as if I don't, nothing will be accomplished. I feel like it's easier most times to just do it all myself because I hate feeling like I'm nagging him.

>>42231531
>>42231558
yeah and I misread your post too, I calculated that for a month.
So 5-6 pounds a month is not so bad, she just needs to cut very soon. Ideally she should go down in the 100-130 range (unless she's a lanklet) and then start bulking again. No point doing mini-bulks/cuts. Go for a long say 100-150 bulk, then cut and reap massive gains for a girl.

This. I used to have pretty awful cramps, and I solved the problem by getting a mirena IUD. So far I've had 2, and I haven't had a period in 10 years. It's been a fucking miracle, and I recommend it to any femanon willing to endure the awkwardness of the procedure.

>>42231576
shit. reading you was a reality check. I gotta get an ultrasound done, I think last one I did was four years ago. I don't have it as bad as you (no fainting or vomiting) but still, don't want to end up with either a cyst or endometriosis.
I still have to have children.
I totally understand your experience about having to suck it up, thinking everybody has it the same. I relate to that in other aspects of life.
Thanks a lot anon, I'll get it checked out ASAP.

Male anon here, I need help femanons. There is this girl at my gym that I really like. I'm not just trying to fuck her, I think I might be falling in love. She spotted me a few times and I helped her plan her macros and we always say hello and smile to each other so it's not like I don't exist in her eyes. She's really nice to me but I don't interpret that as affection because that might just be how she is as a person. The real problem is that I'm still dyel and she's pretty buff. She looks like a figure girl that's starting to get a little too big for figure and I look like an average guy just now getting serious with lifting after a year of not knowing what I'm doing. She's kind and cute and smart and I really want to ask her out but I'm afraid of rejection. I know how beta of me.

tl;dr Would a buff girl go for a dyel guy? What do?

>>42230242
You fucking ARE doing this shit because you are unhappy with who/how/what she is. Tell her this. If she can't take it, move on if it is that important to you and she doesn't get with the program.

Do not hang carrots in front of her. She will get bored, start manipulating(more), or you will eventually run out of carrots.

>>42231636
depending on her exact height, she could safely cut to that range before starting again with a clean foundation so to speak. Don't fear her losing any muscle gains, she probably made insignificant ones based on the fact that she packed on mostly fat, and she should be able to keep most of her strenght gains if she keeps lifting while cutting.

>>42231607

Advice from someone who clearly hasn't dealt with fatties.

The problem is that generally you have to turn up the pressure so high that they fix themselves without giving up. The issue is that if you push too hard they'll just say 'fuck it' and do the mental gymnastics required to believe that what they look like now is how they'll always be.

You have to motivate them with a balance. Scare them with the idea that if they continue they'll lose something of value to them, while motivating and rewarding them for better behavior.

Change is hard for a lot of people, and you can't just dread game a fat girl into a total lifestyle change. If you keep calling her fat or making insecure she'll probably just leave for someone who's willing to shower her in praise for how she is already.

jesus, anonette...you have no idea how much I relate to your plight, except it's with my current situation at my mom's house (a real gains goblin).
I do all the chores here, since she's given up on life and just lays in bed all day(only 62 years old and a diabetic obese and early onset dementia patient).
Anyway, yes, we talked about it with my boyfriend because he knows how much I do around the house here. We had this talk like an hour ago, wish i could screencap it and post it, but it's not worth the hassle. Anyway, he's really willing to help around the house, and we've begun thinking through how we'll share chores already. I'm glad you spoke up, it's inhumane to let you do everything, especially when you started working 14 hour days.
Also, about treating him like a child...jesus, it's my worst nightmare having to go to that lenght with my own boyfriend. I hope he never does slack up on his part of the deal, because micro-managing and mommying the man who's supposed to be dominating me in bed, well it's quite the turnoff...

The original question was about how to keep and train a fat girl into a skinny one, and it sounded like there was a desire to retain the individual.

>>42231719

Oh fuck, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate already. Parents are the ultimate struggle, and best of luck caring for her. You shouldn't have to be doing any of that, but at the same time, I doubt highly that you're willing to let your mom die from her own inability to care for herself. Is there anything that may spark her to getting out of her depression? Is she going to therapy?

Keep talking to your bf, and don't be afraid to voice your fears about turning into his second mom. My husband and I are starting to fix things, but it's a work in progress. Our sex life has suffered, especially as I'm into some seriously degenerate stuff, and he's so nonchalant about it all. When he cleans the house and I come home after a long day of work, and he doesn't bother me when I try and eat for the first time in hours I can't wait to fuck him. It's become my ultimate turn-on, which is kind of scary. I'm becoming 'that' kind of wife.

>>42231638

have a few conversations with her, small talk kind of thing. If you already did this, then you are past one of the harder parts. If she's the type of girl that doesn't converse with people at the gym, then you are basically shit out of luck.

There are 2 types of people at the gym: those who make friends and like to talk to people at the gym, and those who avoid all eye contact, go in, hustle, and leave. If any girl is the later, don't even bother. All you can do is hope you run into her outside of the gym, then you can be like "Hey don't you go that gym I always go to and see you at?"

If you manage to get a few convos in with her (nothing too deep, just treat it like talking to a co-worker or school-mate initially), one day ask her to get coffee or some shit. That's it.

if she says she has a boyfriend or some shit, accept it and move on. be cordial and continue your smiles/nods/whatever with her and file her into the "hot acquaintance" part of your brain

Why would we insult you? It's fine if you hate women, especially since it sounds like you're at least not a bitter fedora who blames his own ineptitude on the "unusual and bizarre" behaviors of women.

Go forth and do you, boo boo.

What I want to know is if any of you femanons have lifting partners who are as into fitness as you are? I have plenty of galpals who want to go and run/yoga/do classes, but I'd really like someone who knows how to lift and just wants to be a gym buddy. I try taking one of my friends to the gym to lift weights, but she's uninterested, and only tolerates the workouts because we get to talk in between.

When I was in the military there were a ton of people who lifted, and there were a handful of women who took it seriously-- I never heard of the whole "toning" thing until I got out and started spending time with civilians.

Hang in there. What's your routine like? How long have you been lifting for?

>>42232232
> What's your routine like?
i do most at 3x10, but I always go to failure last set.
I have a two-day split, upper/lower, but I also do back on my lower day.

>How long have you been lifting for?
I started doing compound lifts quite recently desu(about 4 months ago iirc).
Other than that, I had been "using" the gym for three years. I did have some drinking problems the first two, so the gym was more of an accessory for me to feel better for myself, while I was going once a week.
Decided to quit alcohol a bit more than a year ago, had to start real low.

Use your bf for now, especially if he's a more experienced lifter. I wrestled in high school, so I wasn't used to men who didn't know how to lift. When I started dating them, it was weird as most of the people I went for were fairly "normie."

When I joined the military I learned that there are so many more people who don't lift, or have no clue of building routines. It was kind of pathetic, but I joined the wrong branch if I was looking for gym bros.

Honestly, if I could do it all over again I'd have hit on the cute Marine lesbo on base, and said fuck it to my fears of being outed. I could have had a qt3.14 who also lifted. We would have been a literal power couple.

Sorry if this isn't the place to ask this, but how to get my girlfriend into fitness?

I don't mean in a me pressuring her into it kind of way, she's asked for help but when I show her the resources that got me interested and learned about this sort of thing it seems to have more of a negative effect.

Is there a female perspective that that I'm ignoring and putting her off, or is she just saying she wants to get /fit/ but actually does not?

Hey, I've just started working out and the pic related is the routine I did. Any tips on how to change it?

> Reps + Sets
They aren't too strenuous for me and I think I'll need to ramp it up a bit or do more sets/reps.

> Rest between Sets
I think I need to lengthen it as it's recommended to do between 1-2 minutes of rest between sets but it's not too difficult for me.

> Exercises
Any tips for this? Just make more variation?

> Nutrition
I've cut my calorie intake to 1,100 calories a day which is 500 calories under my TDE. Should I start paying attention to macros?

hot damn, femanon... My boyfriend isn't experienced as a lifter, he's still DYEL but he knows basic stuff. Yeah, I get your schtick about not being able to go back to normies.
At least I'm glad I got my bf into lifting. it's not even a looks concern for me, it's a question of good health in general. he's quite probably the man I will marry, so I need him to be a strong and healthy dad.

Sorry to hear about your missed chance with qtpie marine, I know where you're coming from, my best friend from high school was a lesbian and the first time she came out to anyone was to me, by telling me she loved me. I mean I haven't been in her or your shoes, but I can imagine the fear. Hope you find the missing piece to build your power couple!
Much love.

Dfuck is this thread

>>42232454

Is this with the assumption that you're not going to a gym to work out?

You should start with a 3-day plan, either focusing on push/pull/legs or on upper/lower body workouts. You can do HIT as an 'all around' workout, but you'll need your own personal motivation to complete the workout.

Here's my idea:

Push-- pyramid pushups to 8 and back
Bench 3 sets of 8-10 reps
Dumbbell Overhead press 4 sets of 8-10 reps
Tricep pushups (on knees okay) 5 sets of 10

Pull day:
Barbell Deadlifts 3x5
Dumbbell rows 3x10
Pull ups, assisted or otherwise 3x8
TRX band rows 3x10

Legs:
Romanian Deadlifts 3x5
Good mornings 3x10
Kettlebell front squats 4x15
Glute raises 4x10
Weighted lunges 5x10

+ 4x weekly HIT session:

20 burpees w/out pushup
15 jumping jacks
15 squats
30 second mountain climbers
2 minute rowing machine OR 1 set suicide sprint

Do the HIT routine for 4 sets. Should take you about 20-300 minutes.

There's always the implant, but that can REALLY fuck with your hormones.

My wife has for real had her period for the last two years straight.
She says she doesn't get the crazy cramps she used to, and that her flow varies, but there's not a day of the year she doesn't menstruate.
I've asked her and she seems happy to stick with this over an IUD or pills/condoms (IUDs because my mum scared her once and pills/condoms because she's afraid of human error).

>>42232597

Just keep in mind that some of these movements require equipment. You can modify for most of them with dumbbells, but buying weights is crazy expensive, and it may be better to do this at a gym.

I have a powerblock that I use at home, and it goes up to 45lbs or 18kgs. You can buy a TRX band and combine it with a doorframe pullup bar as well.

>>42232451
I showed her the sticky which was supposedly too long, I tried to tell her just to read it once and use it as a springboard to cover all bases when you start, then anything else she needs to learn she can figure out as she gains experience.

Then I thought, okay forget all that stuff, she knows enough about her diet to get by so I'll just introduce her to SL - it's a minimalist program that is very straight forward and has a wiki and videos to explain the movements, but she wasn't interested. I was of the opinion that when it comes to programming there's not much need for a difference between men and women, but maybe she'd be better following something that is at least marketed that way so it might appeal to her?

The reason I mentioned diet isn't really an issue is she started calorie counting on myfitnesspal, and successfully lost some weight. She saw results in that, and then started to ask me about the gym, and continues to do so every now and then, but I feel like I'm maybe not approaching the subject in the right way.

>>42232497
Well when she first asked me about it she seemed open to making the time, and she had a lot of misconceptions as you'd expect but when I explained them to her she didn't seem to have any resistance to that.

>>42229236
Yeah :( I get less cramps when I workout, so I always make sure to go.

It always starts on leg day too, haha, and squatting is uncomfortable as hell especially with that day 1 heavy flow.. You'd just have to use pads or a cup, sadly. I've never had any leaking problems with thicker tampons, though.

Hey anon, if you have some time to sift through this thread and the previous /femfg/, you'll see that your question has been posted a couple times with different circumstances by other concerned anons. Check out the answers a lot of girls have provided, and see if it fits what you're looking for in term of advice. I just don't want to rehash what we said earlier.

To the femanon who started this thread and is dealing with all the autism from this board I applaud you.

quick update on me, cutting water weight femanon here, just tried drinking about 50ml of black coffee after not having consumed any caffeine product in about three months now.
I feel like I'm on speed right now, there's a real burn going on in my stomach at the moment, I think it's the diuretic effect. Will report back after tomorrow's weigh in.
PS: also drank a cup of OJ to test potassium theory too.

T-thanks. I honestly never expected it to take off so well, there's so much of us that aren't represented by the endless stream "how to build butt" threads.
If anything my initial intention was to create a containment thread for requests like these, and maybe get a couple normies into serious lifting, but holy shit, there's so many dedicated talented girl lifters here, from all walks of life, all ages and more or less far into their own journey.
It's really inspiring. Really motivates me to keep maintaining this general and to build us a cozy nest for us so to speak. I think we deserve it. I'll do it for you girls.
like the first femanon to post in the first thread said, "I knew I wasn't alone".

>>42232905
I always listen to advice given to me, then think it through myself to determine if it's valid for my perspective. Some guys will legitimately try and help you by telling you what worked for them, but not everyone is built equal. So I take it with a pinch of salt, and weigh it in before disqualifying it. Most of the guys I meet IRL in the gym context were very nice and well intended, they never were patronizing or anything.
My boyfriend is guilty of mansplaining sometimes but it's more of a running joke between us, where he will explain something like I'm an airheaded bitch with downs and I will play the part and act all wooed by his intelligence. At this point I just laugh about it.
Next time a guy is overly patronizing, try the "dumb bitch" layer of irony, it'll make the experience more fun.

>>42232149
I am femanon with mostly male nerd friends. Years ago when I started lifting, I was so ashamed of my dumb meathead hobby that I wouldn't even admit that I was going to the gym or that I cared about it. Now in the year 2017 my nerds have suddenly realized lifting is good and we should be gym buddies. I have my main man on SS and his gains are astonishing. Plus random nerd types I meet are unusually likely to lift. Good times

Sorry Stacy (male), but if you lifted and transcended your normiehood, it'd be chads willing to pay for your drinks - and if you're smart enough you'd realize it's time to cuck Chad like they cucked you and marry the beta provider, then turn him into a hot bodied gymbro.
But I guess you fell for the popularity meme in highschool and never developed a brain.

>This entire thread

any of you girls mind sharing gym crush stories, or do you have a gym husabendos/musclefus?
I think it'll be fun for anons to see the other side of the coin.
I'll start :
>be me 18 yo dyel sport chick (rugby/gymnastics)
>go to brother's team rugby game once because I'm invited.
>after the game, I have to see my brother to ask him some important piece of information about the house, since he moved out and I am taking care of it now.
>just go into the belly of the stadium and find the guy locker room.
>as I'm waiting in front of the door for bro to come out, some guy just opens the door and tells me to come in after I tell him I'm looking for my brother.
>come in
>full team of hot and ripped (except for the pillars and centers) 18 yo boys in boxers, half naked turn around and look at me.
>lose my spaghetti internally but just keep a straight face and ask my brother the info.
>he gives it to me, I say thanks and leave.

And another story :
>there's this really hot nerd manlet I have a crush on but he keeps going after this Stacy so I just keep it to myself.
>he used to be a good friend of mine in middle school (we shared some nerd interests together)
>somehow he made it, about halfway through highschool (part of the rugby team, became jacked, made face gains, social gains)
>fast forward a couple years, end of high school, I begin to hang around his group of friends through my brother inviting me (they were on same rugby team).
>spend days and nights at his place playing vidya, partying, having dinners.
>eventually feels like we're good friends but still unsure if he's just being nice, since he still seems interested in his oneitis
>one time his oneitis and I are casually chatting on his living room couch, and he comes and sits in front of us in the most alpha stance he can and starts asking us if we remember how good he used to be at some football game we both attended.
>lose my shit because I know he's trying to stunt in front of Stacy, casually just say with a very stressed ironic tone "wow Anon, you're so strong" as if I'm swooning. Basically make it clear I've been available all along while he was obsessed over her.
>after a couple days his attitude towards me changes, he begins being very caring about me (proposing me that I take a bath at his place one time because I had to go back home to do it), asking me to dance with him on a slow song one time we're hanging out me, my brother and him at his place.
>at this point, i've already lost all hope so I just pretend I don't like him and just be friends. Kinda gutted his attention seems forced compared to how he was with Stacy.

>We keep exchanging smiles and looks, he's leaning back on his chair and I can sense he's looking at me with a smile on his face.
>A common boy friend of his caught on to him, and goes to the music player and puts on "GoldenEye" by Tina Turner.
>Not really pay attention to it, until I listen to the lyrics and realize his friends are looking at me and him and grinning like idiots.
>"you'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child..."
>kind of feel a bit ashamed that they see right through me, but stay confident and say fuck it, they can judge me for being in love with the guy and being rejected.
>dinner party subsides, it's getting late
>he says "time for bed!" and jumps up his chair, puts his hand on mine and draws it back.
>I get up and he says "Anonette, follow me I'll show you where you'll sleep tonight".

>I play a couple tracks for a while
>leave my stuff (bag, coat, scarf)by the computer in that room
>eventually leave the room and go enjoy the party elsewhere in the house
>couple hours later, party is subsiding, not much people anymore, early morning
>decide to get my stuff and go back home
>a bit clumsily, enter the room without knocking, thinking it's empty
>start looking down at the floor next to the desktop to find my clothes in the dark
>hear him whine "Anonette!" as if I had woken him up. Literally (not kidding) just kneel to the floor like a japanese man that's been caught being dishonorful of his family and is begging for forgiveness and gather my stuff while while saying "S-sorry, just taking my stuff I'm leaving".
>He looks up from the bed, obviously incredulous at my fearful reaction.
>that's when I notice the blanket moving, and realize Stacy was with him in bed.
>heart takes a hit, go damage control mode and bail without a word, put on coat, run out the door.
>walk for a while in the cold winter morning, wondering what is my life.

Male here. Old gym I used to go to had a deadlifting couple working out almost everyday. Didn't know them but from what I saw it was the chick teaching the guy how to do the lifts properly.

This is the end of my feels stories shitposting. I never implied something happened, as I said it was a crush/oneitis story, not a requited love story. There's another story I remember now from the time I used to hang out at his place, right after high school, but it just entails us being too autistic for each other (him making the most autistic subtextual allusive flirt thing at me, and me autistically discrediting it as him not knowing what he's doing/or me reading too much into it). Basically another missed chance.

Does this full body workout that implements dumbbells look good?

https://youtu.be/jDF4XiUtXGM

Also, is it okay to use 5lb dumbbells for now? Before I tried doing these types of workouts with 10lb dumbbells but it was too heavy. I feel like I'm able to do these exercises for longer with 5lb dumbbells.

When you guys started using weights, how heavy were they?

>>42229511
Not female, but I'm old enough to have had enough girlfriends/LTRs to know that you're not all the same size down there, and in fact some of you are rather small down there. In contrast, everyone I've ever been with who has seen porn says that porn actresses are *huge* down there. So chances are that you're just small down there and that's why you're having problems. Keep in mind though that you're evolved to dialate to 10 centimeters when giving birth, so it can stretch. You just have to be gentle with yourself.
>Why the everloving hell are you a GUY and talking to ME about this!?
Because, as previously stated: I've been with enough women to have a decent enough dataset of 'vag. sizes' to have useful input for you.

Good thread you've made there, menanons are will learn quite a lot of things about that non-trap, non-futa, non-boypussy, non-waifu, human being it sees around the world regularly.

>>42234862
just work your way up, anonette. everyone has to begin somewhere. the workout looks good, but if you're planning long term to move into serious lifting, try practicing the compound movements with dumbbells for now, so that you got the form down when you're ready to move up in weights. Good luck!

Femanons,

What is your opinion about being hit on at the gym? Personally I think it's a no go zone for flirting and I just uncomfortable flirting with girls while I'm working out. I feel like a creep

My friends have a totally different view of it. They say that a lot of girls just go there for attention and there trying to get attention with the clothes they wear. One of these friends uses our apartment gym as his main hunting ground

So do you think that most girls, not necessarily yourselves, go to the gym for attention and do you think that it's ok to hit on women in the gym? What's a good way to go about it, if any?

>>42234863
thanks for the precious advice, anon.

>>42235132
>just work your way up, anonette. everyone has to begin somewhere
This is correct, although guys, especially young ones, tend to ignore this, feeling they have to 'prove themselves' regardless of physics being immutable. How I like to say this is "You can only train at the level you can train at", and that there's no shame whatsoever (male OR female) in that. The mere fact that you're doing it at all already puts you higher on the food chain than the people who are relatively sedentary and can't even be bothered to try.

>>42235159
>Personally I think it's a no go zone for flirting and I just uncomfortable flirting with girls while I'm working out. I feel like a creep
I'd go with your instincts on this one.
People go to the gym to do WORK. It's not a social club. Additionally, many women feel incredibly uncomfortable at a public gym, because it's typically a male-dominated venue, and they already feel like they're being gawked at. That's why some gyms have women-only areas.

>>42231109
>>42231052
Blender is your friend. I used to do that, found that blending it with butter, etc. made it less weird than stirring.

>>42235277
seconding this, although I'd say if the girl looks confident and interested enough without just being gym community friendly so to speak, you can always go with your gut and try. Ultimately it's better to do something (like this) and regret it later, than to regret never doing it at all.

>>42235159
put it this way, would you want to date a girl who goes to the gym for attention? you'd probably be happy to fuck such a girl, but if all you're trying to do is fuck, leave the girls alone who are actually trying to get work done. and don't be too sure you know which is which.

Thread is slowing down again? More details on one story I remember now, and a bonus story in the same theme.

>the night I barged in on KHV/Chad and Stacy in bed, I was actually in the sound system room playing some tunes as I said, and left the room as the party died out inside of it, to join the rest of people in the living room.
>it died out basically because KHV/Chad had drunk too much and was laying in bed feeling sick. I remember it now, don't know why it escaped me.
>I was one of the last people to leave the room because I was playing music for him to feel better as he couldn't reach for the computer.
>I knew he really liked the Pink Floyd, so I put on "Comfortably numb" to get him to relax into his sickness.
>don't remember if I dreamed it, or if he actually said it, but I seem to remember him saying : "thanks, you can go now", in a really appreciative tone.
>when you know how the night ended, you can imagine why my heart broke and I decided to move on for good after that.

And other music related story (the one I mention as a missed hint in the last post which actually made me remember this part of the previous event) :
>be hanging out with the boys at his place
>taking turns playing some fifa/assassin's creed
>I'm manning the desktop playing casual tunes to go with the atmosphere
>put on some classic songs
>he gets up from the couch, and walks up to me at the desktop station and says : "what song will you be putting on next?" with a curious and playful tone.
>I say "Classic song about friendship and comradry" from "classic oldies singer from our country".
>He smiles, and I figure he's going to one-up me, and just goes over my shoulder and goes into the search bar to put it the next song himself.
>I just stand still and feel his warmth over my shoulder, enjoying feeling close to him

I've noticed that most of the lifter types at my gym are somewhat closet weirdos in some way. Nerds do, unfortunately, tend to not understand why lifting is beneficial, especially since it's a time-consuming hobby that requires preparation and discipline.

Interesting that he likes SS-- It's a good way to dip your toe into lifting, so I hope he keeps going. Tell him to check out the Texas Method once he feels competent in his lifts.

>>42234704

Ooooh yeah. I live by it. I have meds for emergencies, but I generally live a pretty bland life diet-wise. It's helpful, but not a guarantee that I won't get a flareup. I started with the total elimination and slowly added foods to see which ones fucked me up the hardest. Unfortunately it's a lot of foods. Good news is it helps me resist temptation, as certain indulgences result in me getting a combo of diarrhea and constipation, which ends in me shitting blood from straining.

Sounds like you're sensitive to caffeine. Eating hasn't helped calm you down, yet? Go for a long lift session with some intense cardio. It may help you sleep tonight.

I live off of caffeine, so I don't go a day without at least a cup of coffee. I have no clue how we as humans developed in a way that requires a minimum of 8 hours of undisturbed sleep. Who the hell gets that regularly and can live their life?

Show her that if she isn't trying to catch up you'll find someone who will. You don't have to be a dick about it but if she cares and wants you and also has respect for herself she'll see the light in you and what you're trying to offer. Nothing would be more counter Intuitive than showing her that you'd still be with her even if she refuses to put any effort.

long story short, I started anally fingering myself since a teenager, then tried fucking myself with various SMALL phallic objects (sharpies...), basic buttstuff. Continued mostly fingering myself up until I lost my actual vaginal virginity circa 19, then moved on to mostly vagina stuff.
Tried actual sodomy a few times, guy could never get it in because I was too tight.
Currently talking about trying it again with my boyfriend as he mentions regularly wanting to fuck my ass, and honestly I'd love it if he could actually get it in...Just gotta loosen my butthole I guess. I know ironic, for a girl who did buttstuff since her teen. I just never went past a couple finger's width or depth. You asked for details, I deliver. This is judgment free zone, sexual fitness is a good topic too.

nice bait man, you're going to get us to come out and post pictures of our faces, right? Wow, you almost got me pal... Am I a facelette? I don't think so. I think most of us girls here know better than to fall for what memes you guys fall for anyway, like chinlets/jawlets/facelets...We also have couple advantages over you, like makeup and generally better skin routines than you guys.
I'm actually making a skincare routine infographic, or at least get a brainstorming going ITT to see what femanons are using to take care of their skin. Does that interest you girls?

>>42236926
First of all, there was no bait. Second, I wouldnt be so sure about femanon skin quality. For example, russian grils i went to uni with looked fine from further away, but get a bit closer and holy shit looked like some sort of messed up leather dusted with ground up heelskin.
And not that reading about femanon buttholes isnt interesting (or horrifying, if pic^ used as a mental image) but you didnt answer my conundrum - how the fuck does a random, not facelet (allegedly) grill finds out and decides to frequent this place?

Well you'd be surprised, femanon.
I actually used to drink up to five cups of double espresso coffee (with sugar) a day, more if I mixed it with milk. I know what living off of caffeine feels like, I pulled some drawn out study benders on coffee and cigarettes alone.
Generally fucked my shit up I'm sure and lost a couple years lifespan, the way my heart was going insane after a few cups and half a pack.
I had to stop it all eventually. Stopped smoking first (about six months ago), then gradually decreased and stopped caffeine all together (3 months ago). Decided I am safe now enough to reintroduce it, without the sugary aspect, into my diet, especially since it was recommended for it's diuretic effect.
So tl;dr, I don't think I'm too sensitive to it, it's just that I haven't had it in a while I guess.
If I were sensitive to it, I'd have died with the amount i was consuming before.

Regarding eating, I haven't eaten yet but I saved a late night snack (a piece of cantaloupe melon - rich in potassium) in order to try out your advice. Going to consume it now.
I can't lift until tomorrow, since it's night and gym is closed, but I'll go tomorrow morning if I can't crash yet. Then I'll probably sleep after. I'm sure exercise will help.
Also, about people needing 8 hours. Totally agree, I mostly sleep 6 hours, never more than that. Most of my sleep problems come from insomnia and staying up way too fucking long and fucking up my sleep schedule.

Here's the how. As to why I decided to stay ?
1. I am legit autistic and that cancels out moderately good looks.
2. I like the banter and always was a tomboy chick.
3. I could use the information here, I'm interested in health and fitness.

>>42236926
Put as much finger in as you can, one at a time. Try to fit up to the palm of your hand (or his if yours is too small).
Push the finger/dick out while it's going in. Just like if you were pooping(very important).

In the beginning it might hurt a bit in the sphincter even after stretching if you are a virgin or haven't done it in a long time. It's easier to just bare with it for a couple minutes while it goes away.

There are people that like the feeling of the dick hitting up in the rectum, in case you don't, ask him not to go so deep, this feeling won't go away like the previous one.

Good positions for putting it in:
Squating on the dick and on your knees, "sitting on your ankles" with spread legs.

He has contraindications for TM -- over 30, vegetarian, inconsistent sleep -- so I'll be happy if he just gets somewhere reasonable with his LP and then maintains. He's not the kind of guy who's going to be shamed into eating right by the fact that a girl (me) lifts more than him, either. What are you gonna do

well, that's really helpful advice, anon.
Capped and will try this protocol with the bf ASAP.
Most of this I would have never thought to try.
Cheers, my first real intercourse anal orgasm will probably be thanks to you.

>he thinks pretty girls can't be tomboys given the right amount of masculine influence in their life.
I'll give you the tl;dr but the reason for me being a tomboy are :
>dad and brother are legit bros, get along much better than with mom, who is typical neurotic psychotic bitch
>dad instills values in me like reason, logic, competitiveness so that I don't end up airheaded bitch
>parents avoid giving me gender based treatment like getting me girl clothes, letting me have girl sleepovers (dad because he doesn't want me to fall for the stacy meme, mom because she's legit butthurt I don't like her and she just doesn't care about me anymore)
>guys generally don't judge me for being a poorfag girl dressed with my bro's clothes and let me play with them
>like the action in sports, like to exercise in general, always first girl picked in team games,
always deliver as good goalie when all boys want to play offense/defense.
>all best friends are boys who eventually end up falling in love with me, except one best friend who was actually a closet lesbian that was also in love with me.
> chestnut blonde, green eyes, petite and muscular physique, greek nose, full lips, oval face, nice browbone, full brows with no need to draw them, no male pattern baldness, decent tits and ass for a petite. Consider myself moderately average by normie standards, as I said.

I think I made my point. I could just post a picture and settle this case, but it's not in my intentions to reveal who I am or trip, because it'll just hinder the quality of the anonymous treatment here. I don't need the attention. I never fell for the popularity meme, not about to fall for it now.

Speaking of Texas, any femanons successfully ran or running Texas method? /plg/ scared me off it about a month ago, but I want to try it again. I've been doing HLM, which seems more appropriate for the long haul, but I'm starting a gainz jihad rn so I want to go hard.

So I just started the Womanhood version of TM from PPST, i.e., volume day is 6x3, intensity is a 3rm later alternating with doubles and singles across. Today (volume) went fine, though I'm still getting over some overambitious deadlifts on Wednesday.

Damn femanon, are you future me?
This is exactly what I'm planning to do once I'm finished with SL. The guys in the thicc general were the ones to orient me towards the TM, they seemed really confident a girl could achieve good results on it too.

>I'm starting a gainz jihad rn so I want to go hard
the ladyboner you got me just reading this phrase. I can't fucking wait for my cut to be over so I can fucking rack up them strenght+muscle gains already...
Also, I read parts of PPST too (all of it basically except the intermediate+advanced parts and the part about kids and old people). I saved the intermediate programs part for when I am close to getting done with SL, but I think I'll read it through and through tomorrow, and report back on what I think of the FemTM version from PPST.

betcha pics would happen if I kept pushing you.

>it'll just hinder the quality of the anonymous treatment

Thats a solid opinion, theres no fame to gain on a Laotian anonymous pog exchange forum. Youre allright, femanon.

This bred is still fuckin disgusting tho, im out.

Hi, past me! You're gonna make it!
I'm confused that you're doing SL and cutting at the same time. Isn't SL the same idea as SS, i.e. maximize noob gains with linear progression and eating everything in sight? I was gonna cut after SS, but I'm not strong enough yet, so my plan is gainz jihad until November, then cut.

nah I'm afraid face pics will never happen because of aforementioned reasons, and also as I have respect for, and an agreement on online anonymity with my boyfriend.
I might post unidentifiable body progress pictures once I've made some significant gains, but until then you won't see shit, and certainly won't not for the purpose of letting people assess my attractiveness. Only reason I would post progress pics is to be accountable and fuel the general's motivation/sense of achievement as a community for other girls here.

if your pad leaks you literally ruin your undies and pants you are wearing. It's not a risk worth taking for most people. Clothing is expensive. What is wrong with you?

>>42237617
Thanks also is starting stretching enough to get my wife better mobility. Mostly getting low in squats. Also should she progress on ss in 2.5lb increments instead of the 5 lbs a session the program calls for?

I use a menstrual cup, but there's a definite learning curve. It will last a couple hours if you put it in right before the gym, or you can always empty it in the toilet in the gym's bathroom if your flow is super heavy. That plus a pantyliner works for me.

If your period is that bad you should talk to your doctor and see about getting on something that stops periods, like the birth control implant. That works for a lot of people I know who had heavy flows that were causing issues.

Personally I still try to go to the gym while menstruating but sometimes if the cramping gets really bad I have to lower the weight, once I had to skip my cardio because I couldn't run with my uterus punching me in the gut.

You should see a doctor, it sounds like you have vaginismus, a muscular issue with the vaginal/pelvic floor that causes pain. The doctor should be able to tell you how to fix the issue.

Tampons are rough dry cotton, and they suck to put in. A lot of women with vaginismus start by putting in one finger and gently massaging it, and slowly putting bigger things in to stretch the pelvic floor. It can occur in women who work out their pelvic floor a lot like ballerinas and gymnasts, but who aren't sexually active, and for other reasons as well.

Yeah, I'm planning to start bulking in about five months, which should be when I'm done reaping all my noob strenght gains. I'm not cutting too hard at the moment, so progress is not affected for now, and just have a couple kgs left to shed. Essentially decided to make the compromise to cut now so I can go for literal gainz jihad and have a bulk range of 60lbs (hoping for at least 40 of those to be muscle if I do it right) going from 100-160. It's just because I don't want to have to cut too much after this initial monster bulk. I think the massive gains I should be getting on TM+next advanced program (maybe Sheiko?) should make up for the eventual slow start on SL.
Ever looked into advanced programs yet? What's your opinion on Sheiko if you're familiar with it? Thanks for the tip, femanon!

>>42237635
Yes, expect some visible mobility gains after a good few weeks on starting stretching. then get her into reading "becoming a supple leopard".
Flexibility should be worked on too by doing exercises from disciplines such as gymnastics and yoga (see "yoga anatomy vol.2" by Kaminoff, really introductory picture-based book to help figure out how to ""activate"" the muscle's flexion/extension). Let her commit to it for a month, while making her still practicing her squat forms, she should be getting to ass to grass in no time.
As per increments, as PPST states, beginner women will increase loads at a much faster and heavier than men at the start for lower body compounds, because their strenght mobilization is very centered in the lower body (as opposed to bench for exemple, at which they will get smaller, slower progression). So technically, gor for 5lbs increments until she can't progress on a weekly basis, then microload to 2.5lbs.
