OK about 2 months before the road trip I really started pushing myself & easily broke through a 5 year plateau (translation: I should've done this years ago).
So I've been having lots of fun really upping the weights & seeing results (cardio has pretty much been the same). I've gone up at least 5 lbs on all upper body weights & about 20 lbs on some leg exercises. But 3 people during the last 2 weeks said they noticed I've been "bulking up." Not sure I get it--I'm still 5'3", 110 lbs--but no one has ever said this to me before. I didn't even think it was possible b/c I have a really small build. A trainer last night told me he's seen me looking much leaner in the past.
Not sure what to do--I guess I could stop pushing myself & just stay at my current weights. Or I could start doing high reps/low weights to lean out again, which I really don't want to do b/c it's more time consuming & not as much fun. Or I could keep having fun pushing myself & see where it takes me.
What do you guys think?
