'LIFTING WEIGHTS MAKES GIRLS MUSCLY AND MAN-LIKE!'

This is EASILY in the Top 5 most irritating quotes in all of fitness history! 

Gimme 3 minutes and you'll understand a little more about the female form and how actually, the one thing women will get out of weight-lighting is a MORE womanly, curvy, low-fat, beautiful body!

Not only through scientific research, but also through the 20-20 vision of anyone who has spent hours upon HOURS in a gym environment discovering what works... and what doesn't - 

Here's the TRUTH about females and LIFTING HEAVY SHIT!

Here's the simple version: 

Losing and gaining fat OR muscle all comes down to the hormone balances within your body. 

Both men and women are naturally supplied with their individual amounts of OESTROGEN (the 'female' hormone) an TESTOSTERONE (the 'male' hormone). 

Men are more naturally susceptible to higher amounts of testosterone as females are proven to have higher amounts of oestrogen within their bodies. 

In a gym environment, attempting to harness the testosterone in making a man BIG or MUSCULAR is HARD work. It comes down to spiking your insulin with copious amounts of carbohydrates, fat and protein in order to just out a single pound of muscle on - and that's when they're doing it right!

Why do you think so many MEN seek artificial testosterone enhancing  drugs?

So ladies.... If that's how difficult it is for a testosterone brimming male to train over years, even decades to put on bulk, why would you - who is MORESO oestrogen driven - be able to gain huge muscles, broad shoulders, a chiselled jaw.... When it's not even your intention? 

Please take note that unless you are a man training to be more manly, or a woman pumping steroids into your bloodstream, you WILL NOT BE BULKY! 

If you train your muscles more intensely in more of a powerlifting/bodybuilding path, you WOULD produce more testosterone but that doesn't mean it would be detrimental to the womanly physique  you seek. 

Here's the benefits of female weight-lifting:

• Appearing leaner and healthier

• Less fat production (keeping in min that oestrogen is your fat-producing hormone) 

• Shaping and tightening (NOT BULK) in the more feminine areas (womanly hip curves, squat-ass, slimmer waist and legs, tighter-back causing you your chest to appear more pert)

• Not looking like a scrawny teenage boy.

Toned, athletic, feminine and lean - Yes!

Swole, veins popping, bearded gorilla look - HELL NO!

The woman in the picture is a fairly famous Crossfit athlete that most fitness men drool over and fitness women train to be like!

Her name is Camille Le-Blanc Bazinet. 

Would you look at that and tell me that she looks similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger? Dwayne Johnson? Jack Lalanne? (Google him)

She weighs around 125lbs and she can perform full Push-ups, Pull-ups, Muscle-ups (google them), weighted Squats and Deadlift. In fact, she probably Deadlifts more that most men reading this. She is one of the fittest people on this planet - not in spite of, but BECAUSE she lifts weights!

Let me offer you this one quick routine with 6 body shaping exercises which is all you'll need to see the changes I'm on about. The look you've been dreaming of but too stubborn to try. 

###########################

ADD THIS FREE ROUTINE 1-2 TIMES PER WEEK ALONG-SIDE YOUR TRAINING FOR RESULTS! 

All exercises are 4 sets of 8-12 reps with 1 minute rest between sets. Do not rush this.  - 

- Barbell Deadlift

- Dumbbell Chest Press

- Seated Trap/Rhomboid Row

- Dumbbell Bulgarian Squat

- Arnold Shoulder Press

- Lat Pulldown 

Just try it for 6 weeks! See what happens. At worst, if you don't like it you can just drop it from your life.

###########################

Just please keep in mind that all those incredibly sexy female athletes than you are aspiring to be, whether they are swimmers, runners, heptathletes (eg. Jessica Ennis), or some HIIT trainer that you bought her/his DVD and think I WANT THAT - whooooeeeeeveeeeerrr! 

You would be silly and extremely NAIVE to believe that all they do is the swimming/running/HIIT. 

They'll all do something similar to what I've just offered you. 

Once again, guys. These posts are not here to offend or be stereotypical. This is just based on what some of the guys - male AND female mention to me on a daily basis about what they WANT an what they DO. 

It's only advice. I'm not TELLING you to do this. Just trying to help you get to where you wanna go. 

All I'll add the the end of this is once again, my opinion. 

However, I don't think it is held solely by me....

The myth that women shouldn't lift weights is only perpetuated by women who fear work and men who fear women!

Catch ya next time!

THE BEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT!

I'm sorry guys but the fastest, healthiest and longest lasting way to lose weight you're gonna have to be exercise.

You're fooling yourself if you don't.

Now if you work at least the recommended 3-5 times per week according to the FITT principles of fitness, it is VITAL that you gain more protein throughout the day!

1lb of bodyweight = 1gram of protein!

The only way you'll get this comfortably is by using protein shakes.

Have you ever thought "well I'm doing everything right for weight loss. Exactly what it says on the tin and I'm STILL not losing weight"

Perhaps it's the inability to process certain foods....

Great protein sources for some are eggs, milk, whey, pulses, wheat, soya and nuts.

However, 70% of us are allergic to wheat, around 50% have an intolerance to milk (whey is made from the curd of cheese by the way), pulses and soya are hard for our bodies to digest often due to the herbicides/pesticides that they react with to help them grow, some to eggs, and I don't even need to tell you how many people are allergic to nuts.

It's almost certain that we're ALL allergic to at least one of these!

The issue we have is that we don't know if we are intolerant to most foods.
For example, people think they'll be ill if they're intolerant.

This is only half true. Only the real severe cases.

Do you know how else allergies manifest in our bodies? No energy, stomach bloating, or even the body storing it at Fatty Deposits around your hips. It is too sensitive for these foods so it does not understand how to digest them.
You'll then release more oestrogen (fat producing hormone) to compensate for this malfunction.

SO WHAT CAN I DO, LUKE?!

A protein like Arbonne.
Gluten (wheat, oats) free, egg free, lactose (milk) free, vegan protein.

Made from rice and pea protein, giving you plenty of vitamins and amino acids (the building blocks of protein) in just a couple of mouthfuls.
Try to just replace breakfast then use one straight after a workout.

See where it goes from there.

Please understand that without protein, your muscles can not grow or recover. If they can't recover, your metabolism will be a slow metabolism and you won't be able burn off calories as easy.

So let's end on this repetitive note -

THE MORE MUSCLE YOU HAVE, THE FASTER YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT.

If you're interested in what I've said ad think it's the right thing to do, as I do.... Then please check out the WilL B fit Approved link below:

What is an athlete?

This word is one we grow to aspire to or be in awe of.

Yet, it has antagonised me over the years -

From what I've heard, the definition of an athlete is someone who trains specifically to their sport. Someone who is at the top of their game and cares not what they look like, nor what they become, nor what the implications of how their training affects then later in life, EVEN if it's hastens their mortality.

You're the worlds strongest man, weighing around 23 Stone+
Tell me how far you run without getting tired? Can you handstand? Are you even able to tie your laces ready without getting out of breath?

You're a marathon runner, you make your legs as endurable as possible, then subjecting your upper-body to neglect, deformation, hunching, placing pressure on your most vital organs, let me know how many REAL push ups, pull ups, even squats you can do
Can you be functional?

Are either of these examples being true to all the human body actually offers?

No disrespect to people who ARE indeed at the top of their game in their particular genre but for me, that's not what an athlete is

My version of 'athlete'.

Becoming the perfect human

We're here to be the greatest all-rounders

Strong - but not a heavy burden to joints. Make the weight you have a greater quality.

Fast - but not sacrificial of function and flexibility for added pace.

We can train specifically towards our goals if that is what we wish down to the fine points -

but more than anything, I believe we should become more confident within our own skin, however hopefully keep ourselves grounded and humble, remembering always that it takes hard work to be GREAT!

Training with WilL B fit will not just give you the answers for here and now, but will add elements of longevity so you can still be the man and kick some ass when you're 87!

My belief - athleticism is on a never-ending spectrum and we can all be part of it if we try
Just the ones who give more - gain more.

The vast majority of us began this journey on the low end of this spectrum and at some INSANE moment believed we could accomplish the impossible... And achieved it!

It's difficult to comprehend or admit but...

We are athletes!

We strived for greatness.
We have earned the position we're in.

NOW REPEAT THE PROCESS!

WilL B fit approves!
Trialled a pair this week!

A lady came into the gym and was complaining that she couldn't wear headphones as she didn't like the way they feel.

Not even an hour later, someone let me have a go of their pair of earphones that weren't actually 'ear' phones called 'Aftershoks'.

After a bit of research, I've been wanting a pair of these beauts since!

Bone Conducting Technology - meaning that you do NOT even put them in your ears!

You can still listen to your music just as loud, yet when someone wants a conversation with you, it is zoned out by your subconscious! 

It's much safer for your hearing. Also, it's much easier to listen for traffic  mid-run. These are also Marathon Approved.

I haven't found them cheaper than this.

Awesome buy!

Having a good weekend?
GOOD! YOU EARNED IT!

Last week was one of the hottest weeks in WilL B fit where milestones were reached and satisfaction was NOT given, but TAKEN!

That's what it's all about, folks!
Small, realistic goals hit week after week, month after month! Until the dream is given!
NO luck involved, NO once in a lifetime opportunities!
But gained through EFFORT and SELF-BELIEF!

Fitness is one of the few things in this life that is FAIR!
If you complain about not having it, that's because you haven't worked for it!
If you have it, and continue to look after it, no bully can EVER take it away from you!
And finally, the more you look after it, the greater it becomes and the greater YOU become!
Why do you think we're all so OBSESSED!
