I'd rather gain strenght without gaining any muscles.. yes.. but I know it's not possible..

my metabolisme has been slowed down throught years of dumb dieting and other stuff.. besides.. I'm 52 so the metabolism is going down anyways.. I know about the benefits of weight training.. and I also do HIITs.. not for fat loss.. just for fitness gains in xc-skiing and hiking..

I think I'm sort of a lost cause for the metabolisme game.. but at least my grocery list doesn't cost too much

Don't be sad you're tiny.. enjoy it, it's wonderful



I didn't know the difference between men's and lady's rep ranges.. Glad to have you on the forum!!!

yes.. I'd like to try 3-5 reps.. but I have other questions.. like tendons and ligaments.. will they necessairily be strong enough for the extra weight I'd be able to lift/pull/push/whatever.. if I do only 5 reps instead of 15?

by the way.. as I said.. I've been training at a gym for only 1 year.. but I'm not a newbie to training in general and sports..

just waiting for the day when it's said instead, that a man may start to look like a woman by training the same...hehe.
héhé! I like that! my favorite t-shirt has a female soccer player on it and under it, it says "kick like a girl" lol
