@roshaw I’m pretty sure Sohee Carpenter and Doc Lyss Fitness are in the 5’1”-5’2” range. Also Leah Lifts a Lot she’s a competitive powerlifter and is at or under 5’2”.

@andy1993 5’4” and around 170-175 lbs. I’m only three months into focusing on powerlifting, but lifted more generally prior. Squat: 105 -> 150 lbs (3x5) Bench: 70 -> 90 lbs. (3x5) Deadlift: 155 -> 190 (1x5) ETA: Even though I was lifting before, I’m definitely still on the linear progression...

@takkula Not at all. Those look like perfectly normal unflexed arms to me.

@chrisb76 Sorry I wasn't clear, but I'm aware that I'm eating at maintenance. I'm doing so on purpose and with the blessing of a sports nutritionist. I lost four pounds in three months eating on average 200 calories per day less than what I stated in the post and only went up to maintenance a...

@1fish I had been eating 16-1800 calories on average until about a week and a half ago. According to the TDEE spreadsheet (been using it since May), my TDEE is between 1800 and 1900. I'm sure I would have lost more and more consistently if I'd eaten less, but right now I'd prefer to work on...

Original Post from July. Current Photos/results. Numbers Height: 5’4” Weight: 174 lbs. at 7/21 and 170 lbs. today Age: 34 Body fat percentage: 37.7% at 7/21 and 36.4% today Lean mass (bone + muscle): 108.6 lbs. at 7/21 and 108.1 lbs. today Bone density T-score: 1.7 at 7/21 and 1.6 today...

@crazythat “Mass moves mass” is something people say when they’re insecure little assholes who feel the need to put others down to feel better about themselves. Those are super impressive numbers!

@americangirl54 Unfortunately other people’s experiences probably don’t mean a whole lot for you because bodies are so different. I lost 30 lbs. and went from a 36HH to a 32GG. A good friend of mine lost at least as much and her cup volume stayed the same, while her band went down two sizes — so...

@hoganwynne Congrats on the progress! You look great and I hope you love GZCLP! But please don't assume that people with BF% over 30 are just starting out. People have different starting points, obstacles, and goals. I realize you didn't necessarily mean anything by it, but just something to...

@dawn16 Oh yeah, definitely. I’m on my phone, so I didn’t really expand, but meant that weird inconsistency. It’s like he doesn’t get the connection between misogyny and linking (cis) female genitalia with weakness.

@darongeorge Absolutely get a pad like the one in link B for barbell hip thrusts. The problem with using a pad for squats is that is actually makes the barbell less stable on your shoulders. I switched from a high bar to a low bar position about a year ago and have found I prefer it. You don’t...

@readerjoseph I can deadlift a fledgling pacific walrus, bench a baby giraffe, and squat a male giant panda. Thank you for this knowledge.

@frbrian Yeah, more hypertrophy focused. I’m less than 15 lbs from my goal and cannot wait to lift while eating more

@frbrian Lifting on and off for years, consistently for the last three, and heavy for about one. Age 34, weight 169 lbs. Bench is 100 lbs for 3, squat is 135 lbs for 5, and deadlift is 185 lbs for at least one. We haven’t tested it, but I could almost certainly DL 200+. I’ve also been eating in...

@cz1611 Yeah, this is fucking gross and misogynistic. Him saying it isn’t doesn’t mean a damn thing. I’ve personally not had a ton of super negative experience with men and lifting, but I’ve certainly overheard men talking about how they’d be pissed if their girlfriends/wives started lifting...

@brianhex I don’t really warm up and I’m terrible about stretching. They’re just both so boring!

@mauddib I thought it was strange, too. There's a company that's supposed to open one sometime this year, but I can't get any info on an exact date.

@mauddib I think I remember you asking about it a while ago. It’s the same in NYC, oddly. There are a few medical practices that do it, but none for the purpose of testing body fat, so I think I’d have to get a prescription from my doctor and pay out of pocket.

@mauddib Makes sense! There was a conversation here about the Navy method a few days ago — it’s based solely on height/weight/measurements — and how accurate it was. I unfortunately don’t have DEXA commercially available where I am, but it’s something I’d really like to do.

@tinabugs77 Responding to your edit, 18.4% really isn’t “way off” from 15% in the grand scheme of things. I’m saying this with the gentlest intent, but I don’t think your expectations are reasonable. Your body fat is low for a woman and you look great. Why does the exact number matter so much?
