New Program for me - The New Rules of Lifting
I am going to track my progress of this new program at a different place. I’ve started a separate blog for this purpose at blogspot. After reading the book The New Rules of Lifting for Women (by Lou Schuler, Alwyn Cosgrove and Cassandra Forsythe) I’ve decided to join a little challenge that was organized at jpfitness.com forum. Every woman has a different goal, but is determined to reach it! I love a good challenge.
My goal: to reduce body fat to around 10% for the coming summer, after I put on some more muscle mass in the next 6 months.My plan: Since all I got to lose is about 10lbs of fat, it seems like I have an easy task before me…But don’t forget, putting on quality muscle for a woman is no small task. So, protein intake will be high, fats moderate and moderate carbs. Closer to the end I’ll be cycling my carbs.
My current stats:
At 5’8 HEIGHT/ Age 32
- CHEST: 35 in
- WAIST (narrowest point): 28 in
- TUMMY (widest area): 33 in
- HIP: 36.5 in

- WEIGHT: 140lbs
- Body Fat: 16.3% (Omron machine. Normal Mode)

Love that book! And I love your plan. My off-season plan has been very similar, although I’ve been following Hugo Rivera’s book, Hardgainer’s Bodybuilding Handbook. Pretty similar. And you are right…us gals have a difficult time putting on muscle, but if anyone can do it….IT’S YOU! I wish you the best!! xoxo –Kim
