I have been listening to your show for the past several months, and I am hooked! Call me a mind pump junkie now! First of all, thanks for all the great info. Here is my question with a little background on myself: I am a 63-year-old female who was quite athletic in my high school and young adult years, playing competitive softball well into my adult years. I am right-hand dominant and have noticed a lack of symmetry in the size of my upper arms. I recently lost 65 lbs and have been strength training for a year. I am currently following a 6-day push, pull, legs schedule. I am 5'0" and weigh 126 lbs, currently eating 2100 calories per day in a bulk. My exercise regimen is performed with equal weights bilaterally. I have had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction on both sides but have always had more difficulty with scar tissue and tightness on the left vs. the right. My body composition scale clearly displays asymmetry in muscle, with the left being smaller. Could this be the reason for my arm asymmetry? Is there anything you would recommend to try to become more symmetrical? Should I just do additional sets on the smaller side? Thanks in advance.
I have a question about this episode 235‒Training principles for mass & strength, changing views on nutrition, & creatine supplementation and this Balancing Strength Training. I started going back to the gym after feeling like I recovered from my low back injury from deadlifts. During my second workout of the week, I did deadlifts and noticed my low back was starting to feel it again as I went heavier on the weight. What should I do, and how do I know when I can go back to lifting like normal with no low back pain?
