What happens if you gain a lot of muscle in the chest as a woman but keep normal BF %

Don't the boobs get even bigger?



Boobs are gland and muscle tissue - if you increase the muscle tissue, don't the boobs get bigger as long as the fat levels are reasonable?

The world record for ring muscle ups is only 15

Real muscle ups, not those ugly swinging things crossfitters do.

I just discovered this fact, and coming from a gymnastics background I think many gymnasts or even just bodyweight training enthusiasts could break this record if they tried.

In case any of you wanna take a shot at a world record.

Fat Loss and Muscle Gain Period goal 2 to 3 Months

My name is David,

I am new to australia, after moving from my hometown in africa . Most of my life i have been the fat kid in class, currently i am 21 years old, 87.1 kilograms, height of 5 foot 10 inches and virtually no exercise or physical training. I'm not here to throw out a sob story and expect help straight away, but ive gotten to a point where i am not only annoyed but also disappointed and sick of myself. Every time i get dressed or get out the shower and look in the mirror i see someone thats worthless and pitiful, i used to enjoy basketball so much but the passion and the obsession is gone. when i am around others i do my best to smile and feel happy but in reality i feel degraded and lower than everyone else. ive come to acknowledge this. but today is the day i want to CHANGE... but i dont know HOW. MY Dream is to one day get a fully formed, muscular back, chiseled abs and eye popping biceps but i know that with every dream, goals must be set. Can anyone help me throughout this 3 month journey ? Photos of my current body is attached.

muscle strength confusion

i recently tried a workout routine where i would work 2 muscle groups in the same workout. i have been doing this for 6 weeks. what i notice is when i do a chest and biceps workout, after i finish working out my biceps when i go back to do a chest exercise i am able to hit the same amount of weight for about the same amount of sets and reps, sometimes a rep of two off. however right after i finish my chest workout, my chest is completely pumped and exhausted, thus i would not have been able to do another set of DB press(for example). But when i finish my bicep workout i was able to do them DB press again. Has anyone experienced this?

i usually do my DB press with 80 pounds for 10-12 reps.

chest workout usually 18-20 sets of 10-12 reps per set.

bicep workout 9-12 sets.

60-90 seconds rest in between sets.

2-minute rest in between exercises.

Where does the idea that women like muscle come from?

Most would consider this jacked, anything above too much.

What Is Scientifically The Best Bodybuilding Workout For Mass Muscle?

Great video her, especially the part of natural training. Jerry Brainum knows his stuff. Ironically I'm taking a break for a few weeks, and he goes into how taking a break is a good thing.

Shed fat while TRYING to keep muscle.....

Whats up guys

So here is my situation. I'm 6'2 231 pounds at 17.2 body fat. Been working out for a couple years now. My journey started at 312 pounds and just decided to change my life around. Joined a gym and started dieting, did lots of cardio while doing your normal high volume lifts. Basically your normal weight loss when you are very overweight. I got down to about 240 and was introduced to power lifting a couple years ago. I stuck to that training style for a few years now and still love it. Recently ( about a month and a half ago ) i started really dialing in with my diet and started doing more cardio through out the week (fasted cardio 35 to 45 min 4 times a week). Now with my training i still do compound lifts (deadlift/squat/bench press) but i do lots of normal bodybuilding type lifts through out the week and have a schedule. Basically 2 push days 2 pull days 2 leg day workouts. I dropped my carbs a good amount keeping my fat moderate and protein high. Once a week ill have "high carb" day and lower my protein intake as well as my fats. Here is an example of what i will be consuming today

Meal 1 6 am
40 grams of quaker oats
1 teaspoon of PB
1 scoop of protein powder (select)

Meal 2 8:30 am
1 cup of egg whites
3 cups of spinach
4 oz of lean ground beef
1 slice of fat free cheese

SNACK 10:30 am
2 Quaker Rice cakes
2 teaspoons of PB

Meal 3 12:30
4 oz 99/1 ground turkey
6oz chicken
3 cups of spinach
Roasted peppers
g Hughes bbq sauce

Snack
2 scoop protein shake (select)

Meal 4
4 oz of chicken
4oz of 99/1 ground turkey
Asparagus
g hughes bbq sauce

Work out


Meal 5
8 oz chicken
Mixed veggies

I drink about a gallon and a half of water a day as well


As i mentioned before i cut my carbs down a good amount and in about a month and a half im down roughly 12 pounds. I am just a little hesitant because i dont want to end up losing muscle mass since i am trying to recomp. Getting down my body fat percentage is my main goal to around 10 percent. I am having a really hard time losing belly fat to be honest. That seems to be the one area were most of my fat is stored (love handles) My high carb days i usually sub out the veggies or spinach with either jasmine rice and bread. Have another serving of oats as well. Just wanted everyones opinions. The meals i listed are what i have calculated for today and what is usually looks like through out the week which is 38 fat/ 130 carbs/ 312 protein..........Just looking for some advice
