I want to start lifting this year - tips on keeping my arms attached to my body?
- Thread starter heretohelp
- Start date
Maria is 188 cm, 59 Kilos and healthy.The argument that tall women need to be heavy holds no water.
Anybody else notice that with more hips and less abs that could pretty much be a photograph of me? Pegasus is right, there's no way she's 59 kilos.

I have been that weight at 186 cm people would feed me because they thought I was near death .
Women lie about their weight because of social pressure ie guys like you camaro .
I have a female judo friend who is 6ft and over 200lb in contest shape. Looks great but not like a scrawy model women should not have to met your notions of what they should look like . They should meet their own, which is what hth is doing. She intends to be strong healthy and sexy and that may intimidate some, so be it.
Ps she is taller than you Hth and has more upper body muscle ,I think she is heavier than you.

This is a really stupid comparison, Camaro, one dimensional and poorly considered. The bone structure is different between the two women, making Maria a very poor comparison. If HTH were to attempt to match Maria's weight on HTH's frame, she would appear unhealthy and very likely become unhelathy.
Note, that when women's BMI drops below a healthy level they begin to have serious problems; loss of bone mass, menstrual cycle stops, loss of breast tissue.
The frame matters. Larger bone mass will make a significant weight difference. Correspondingly adequate muscle mass will further make a difference. HTH could work real hard lifting weights (the original point of this thread), change her body composition thus changing her appearance by adding upper body muscle and cutting her BMI to 12% (the lower healthy limit for women) and still remain at 140 lbs, yet your argument could remain unchanged because it only deals in weight (continuing to remain inadequate).

You have a very lovely body Heretohelp.
If you would like, you can PM my wife View Profile: MrsLooking4more - PEGym Forums. She has done numerous different routines over the years. She can tell you what has worked for her.
You're on the right track with changing your diet. That is a huge step toward reaching your goals.

1 set of 5 at a low weight is fine. Don't worry, everyone's in the same boat when starting out. Just start slowly and move at your own pace. No use lifting weights too heavy for you and getting injured - then you're out for a couple weeks, or more. I just started working out seriously about a month and a half ago, so am in a similar boat. I was doing squats and deadlifts with just the bar 2 days ago! That was embarassing, but everyone's there at some point. Better to get your form down then to bulk up on weights and hurt yourself.
I did some digging - The 59 kilos was when Maria was 6 feet tall.Now at 6 2 she weighs more it seems.
But the argument that a 6 foot woman NEEDS to be 60 odd kilos holds no water.Which was the point i was trying to make.
In addition, i laid the hottest girl i ever have way back who was a model and 5 8 and 55 kilos.She told me each inch more should add a kilo ( model proportions ] and to my eyes she was perfectly proportioned in all ways.
6 then should be 59 kilos by my count.
You know what does hold a lot of water? All this sh*t you're talking. You're embarrassing yourself mate. You've been asked a number of times to leave this alone.
Also, just to reiterate, THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT. MEDICALLY I AM A HEALTHY WEIGHT. AESTHETICALLY I APPEAL TO THE MEN I'M ATTRACTED TOO. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT GAINING STRENGTH.
So anybody else with suggestions of weight loss can go stare at skeletons and touch themselves rather than get all up in my face.

Say what you will.I have no reason to lie, i have nothing to prove.I stand by my opinions.
Will getting the last word in make you feel better about the fact you can only appreciate underweight women?
Who is talking sh*t now? My mother is overweight.I yet love her.
Look, when you have bulked up enough/reached your goals post a pic with your weight.People can see how much progress you have made.
Oh boys; they say I'm always off topic but you guy are taking the cake here ( and no you can't eat it). This is a thread started by a member for workingout and any tips we can give. This is not about weight loss, , body types, r who you got laid by recently. The thread will now go back to what it was intended and if I see any stupid posts I am going to get very grumpy, even grumpier than usual. GOT IT!!!!!
