I had to stop hip thrusting half way…

I wish I could say it’s because I felt the emphasis on training glutes could be perceived as aligning with societal beauty standards that are often criticised for being patriarchal and objectifying.

… but really it’s because that angle showed my moose-knuckle.

One thing I do want to reiterate:

Individual programming is paramount.

There is such high variability between women and their cycles we can’t just make blanket recommendations.

And no, I’m not ovary-acting.

It’s possible that the apparent contradictions between the science and people’s experiences can be answered with psychological explanations.

But either way, listen to your body and adapt a program accordingly.

Here’s an example of programming if that monthly uterus punch does knock you for six.

* Weeks 1 and 2: Lift heavier for lower reps, close to failure.

* Week 3: Lift a moderate load for higher reps, 1-2 reps further from failure.

* Week 4: Maybe take a deload by dropping one set off each exercise or taking a further 1-2 reps from failure. 

* Repeat.

Hope this helps.

Snuggles,
Pale Side Of The Moon 🌝

if you're a woman with ovaries then you may think that me with my maintainers have no place talking about a subject but if you want to learn about the kara science around dementia cycle and trained in mn this videos for you don't worry i won't make any jokes about menstruation period bursty there's no normal menstrual cycle is every woman's cycles individual to them and every period can be different to another so training recommendations are hear often over generalizing at last longer than listen i can't get pregnant by never felt that deliver so a few new joint me follow squat tampon bow studies show that a menstrual cycle doesn't seem to affect strength or insurance in women athletes who just power through so you probably don't need to adjust your training around your cycle phases to maximize your progress but equally to quote the late great twentieth century philosopher two-pack fuck that noise because a lot of women do find that the uterus uppercut affects their performance so if you begin to see pm's patterns in your strength your energy motivation and desire to drag and punch everyone in the fucking face and you may want to consider periodization for your period broadly speaking the metro cycle has two distinct phases the finnick the phase in the neutral phase during the follicular phase after our foe visits you'll be at your strongest due to elevate eastern levels so how bad pain tolerance bear recovery bad power output you're kicking life in the cold so this is probably the time to chase ppl out lift all the dudes in the gym and make faces like a shitting toe after ovulation progesterone comes along with an army of uterus ninjas to beat the shit out eastern which might see your strength decrease and your mood swings become a form of exercise so during this phase of your cycle it could be more favorable to focus on more moderate and later loads and good form just fuck around and find out what works for you and hope watching my pale moon face has an effective period
