Hi Everyone,
I know there are many users just lurking forum and looking for information on how to add strength and gain muscle.
This topic has been covered by many fitness professionals (including cathe).
Many have, God knows how many time, they have encouraged women to reduce cardio
and lift heavy. I can't no longer count how many vblog answering questions on this.
Everytime the answer is the same cardio yes, but not excessively with more focus on lifting HEAVY.
Our body was not made
to successfully achieve two opposite goals catabolism (muscle breakdown)
and anabolism (building/gaining muscle). This apply to anyone regardless of bodytype!
Now I would like to share a Q&A from a fitness professional.
Yes she is a bodybuilder with a gymnastic background.
Yes genetics plays but she works hard. We can have different opinion and think this could be gained
by consuming enhancing harmful supplement, each of their own opinion. Opinion I am not personally sharing!
Bottom line is we can all gain muscle but there is some work to do and more importantly
there is a smart rotation/plan including reasonable and realistic ratio between cardio and weight.
Circuits only won't add muscles. They do condition a body though.

Last but more importantly NUTRITION.
