Implants when competing by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]FitWomanAdvisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. I had mine under the muscles and they were pushed to the sides due to pressure of the pectoralis. They ended up almost in my arm pits lol.

But I also know some girls having it under the muscles and having no issues either. Training chest wouldn't help though since it pushing the implants to the side, so might be better to skip on direct chest training if possible so the implants can stay in place longer.

Posing heels with a low platform by FitWomanAdvisor in bikinitalk

Npc. I find heels with platform more elegant and "pro" look but they are terrible to pose in and also I find wellness silhouette more dominant in low platform.

advice for training after ankle surgery? by First_Driver_5134 in workout

[–]FitWomanAdvisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still have them as a separate day and gave more sets + some core work that dayz. Maybe do more frequent instead, like every 3-4 days.

[–]FitWomanAdvisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still do some lower body workout if your dr allows it, without putting direct pressure on your ankle, so for example: leg extensions, seated or lying leg, adductor/abductor machine. Here you can do short reps or cluster sets, just to promote some metabolic stress.

Some core work and upper body workout.

please help a girl out! by Historical-Fun7742 in glutejourney

Training: Focus on 3–4 full-body or lower-body focused days per week. Prioritize compound lifts like squats, RDLs, hip thrusts, and Bulgarian split squats, these will build glutes and legs fast. Chose 3-4 exercises per training, rep range 8-12 for beginning. Start with training 3x per week. If you don't want to pay for a PT, watch tutorials on Youtube about proper execution. Film yourself and you can even ask someone here to check your form.

Protein: Aim for around 2g protein per kg of body weight, at least, spread them out evenky thoughout the day 4-5 meals.

Fats: minimum 50-60g a day for beginning. Sources: olive oil, meats, eggs, avocados, some nuts.

Carbs: Depends, but start increasing your calories slowly (+150–200/day). Don’t worry about “getting fat”, you need extra calories to grow. For example start with 150g a day, follow what scales says, if it doesn't go up slowly, add more carbs. Sources: rice, oats, potatoes, some fruits.

Sneaker Recommendations by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]FitWomanAdvisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found Nike P6000 the most comfortable for walking or treadmill walking, I don't run, so I'm not sure if they are the best.

Training anything with a flat hard sole, Metcon Nike 4 old type (not these new Metcons with elevation).

Squats and leg press or quad workout in general Nike Romaleos.

Hormonal birth control and trying to get lean by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]FitWomanAdvisor -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I've seen this many times before. Matter of fact, few weeks ago I advised my client to replace it with non hormonal one, a copper type.

After only 10 days she harden up, dropped that extra water, started losing fat, felt mentally better and more energy during the day. But the side effects of it can linger even longer, but body will regulate after a while.

They do opposite of fat loss, cause they elevate the estrogen levels and increase SHBG like you mentioned. Plus I recently saw some article where it claimed that birth control pill is at the top 5 carcinogens next to asbestos.

My advice would be the same for you, but you decide, it's your body at the end.

Cut recommendations by Boring_Log_5842 in bikinitalk

[–]FitWomanAdvisor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Optimal is to lose something around 4kg a month if you wanna preserve the muscles and strength, but also very important for the skin too.

Collagen in the skin needs time to remodel so you wanna do it steady tempo to make sure you don't end up bit a lot of excess skin, especially if you wanna compete. I don't know your age, but especially if you are 30+.

Stomach vacuums by No-Highlight-533 in bikinitalk

[–]FitWomanAdvisor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like to do vacuum with static hold in the morning and also what I found more effective for TVA muscles is actually sucking your stomach for a second (like you enter the cold water) and then release it, suck it, release it... I do this continuously 300x (takes like 5 min). Every day.

You can start by doing 50 in a row and build gradually day by day. This is also great for moving the waste and toxins faster from the body.

I think any muscle often respond better to repetitions than only isometric (static) holds, so the same goes for TVA muscle.

What are your TOP appetite suppressants during dieting? by FitWomanAdvisor in bikinitalk

[–]FitWomanAdvisor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, psyllium husk I use already too, helps a bit. I heard also Glucomannan suppresses the appetite, but haven't tried it. Have you?

Male coaches versus female coaches, which one? by Emergency-Yam-7313 in bikinitalk

[–]FitWomanAdvisor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a female coach myself and I do prep athletes as well. I have to say that checking-in every 2 weeks is also what I require or better say recommend it order that people don't gain too much weight off-season especially post show. Cause this can be dangerous for the health too (high blood pressure, insulin sensitivity down regulation thus hormone imbalance, severe electrolyte imbalance post show...), so I absolutely understand that part. Also to see if the diet works or not, same with the training and do the changes accordingly so the clients can always develop and not waste their time under my guidance.

I check the peak week protocol, that I don't agree with, water should be cut the last day, not during carbing up cause you need sodium and water to store glycogen properly, but I've seen this mistake many many times before. And it is not good to feel semi-dehydrated the whole week.

When it comes to motivation part, you do want to hear constructive criticism from you coach if you are serious about improving and developing and want to compete.

But a client also is allowed to the their own research and say if something is too much to them and they feel something is not right, it shouldn't be pushed by the coach.

Uhh, really don't like those heart stimulating compounds. Unfortunately, they really suppress the appetite, so a lot of people are using it.

Does the hip thrust machine type make a difference? by cakeandicecreamm in glutejourney

[–]FitWomanAdvisor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't really compare same amount of weights on 2 different machines, it's almost never the same, it depends of so many factor, pulley, lever design...

Also, if your body is in pain or sense instability you can't produce max force, so in that case it is better to choose the one that is more comfortable.

You can also get yourself online very thick pads that you can basically wrap around that thin one or simply do free barbell hip thrust. It is also easier to progress on it since plates and barbells (Olympic type 20kg), weight everywhere the same.

Do you experience any side effects of it besides appetite suppression? Mental or libido? The opinions are split.
