Who east of the Rockies is breeding solid detection dutchies? Looking to start building the next generation for our household and wanting to see if there’s anyone new we should keep an eye out for? Photo of my demon dutchie for tax
I’m a 33yo woman who is transitioning careers from once sector of self employment to another, needless to say I am busy and extremely tired at the end of most days. I look at my colleagues and they’re all lacking in strength and muscle and I DO NOT want my life to look like that.
Goals: I want to have more muscle, especially on my legs, and I don’t give a cuss about being “lean” because I just want to be strong for my new job that requires a lot of independent strength. I want to improve overall body strength and know how to do that with body weight for upper body, but lower body is more complex to me.
I have rings, kettle bells of varying weights, 8 & 10lb dumbbells (would happily buy more as needed but these serve me well for shoulder rehabilitation), and some cinder blocks for adding height to an exercise.
I’ve been doing a gym session as I can fit it into my schedule because my hyper mobile self loves a smith machine to help with back squats, but everything else I do is free weights/body weights. I’m gonna have less and less time coming up and really want to keep building muscle.
I prioritize protein and aim to get 120g a day and don’t count anything else dietarily because I don’t care if I gain weight, and I don’t want to track more macros or calories for the sake of my sanity.
What’s works for you? Who do you follow online that I should gleam information from? What was a game changer for you?
I know I can improve basic strength in body weight movements like push ups and pull ups, but I would love to have some lower body at home routines to promote muscle growth because I have noodle legs and body weight seems tricky to build legs.
Thanks in advance!
