Wasn't sure where to post because I don't see where the old ladies hang out. I discovered SS from a recommendation given to me by a young marine two years ago. I was an underweight vegan, maybe 95#. I am 4ft. 11 inches and now weigh about 100#. Very small framed. I have tried to follow the LP program and made progress based on my genetics, anthropometry, etc. A trainer friend told me I needed more protein to create mass and I try my best but I just can't fit that much protein and food in my stomach. I now eat plenty of fish and chicken, turkey, as will fit in my belly. I still feel I made progress going from empty bar squat to 98#, an empty bar to 145# dead lift. The presses are my weakest at 53 # and the bench at 78#. I do each major lift twice a week. I also noticed more energy with bioidentical hormones but the shutdown threw everything off. I wanted to seek others for inspiration. Would like the camraderie since I am the only senior at the gym doing the major lifts. Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Any older ladies here?
