What would you say the max she could eat and still lose is? |

The only question I have is regarding the split squats. One of my issues had always been balance on my left leg- I have a few things that I think are wrong but nothing ever confirmed- and I am wondering if these will help that. Something they seem to so is work the ankle stabilizers. I am just wondering if this is by design or I am reading into this.
I am doing these with very light weight until I get them down correctly.
| Yup, I think most any program should have unilateral work thrown into the mix for multiple reasons; balance being one of them. Quote: |
Glute raises are a b*&ch! I can't do single leg yet- also wondering if that is 'common' for a relative beginner.
| No, you shouldn't be able to do single legs yet. They're fun though, right?   |

It all really depends but if I were to throw a ballpark figure out there I'd say something like 3000-3500.
10 calories per pound is usually a ballparked BMR.
B/c she's so overweight, you might drop that down to 9.
That leaves her at 3500 calories. Add in activity and whatnot and she could probably lose on 3000ish calories. Again, that's a big estimate... just realize that there's a lot of wiggle room you're working with. If you can get her moving a few times per week and limit her intake to under 2500 calories per day.... she's going to lose.
My personal take on working with obese clients though is simple: cut calories by as much as they can comfortably tolerate since losing muscle and metabolic slowdowns are not much a concern. So I have no issue with what you're doing as long as she's able to comfortably stick with it and it's not causing her to do 'bad stuff' while you aren't around. |

Rep Power: 182 | | | Yea, I remember you being interested in the topic last time it was discussed. I think it was when that ChuckRoast dude was around. It is an intriguing facet of modern society that plays a much larger role than most people realize. |

Rep Power: 217 | | | it's really not even the steroids themselves that's the interest -
it's the mindset and character study that makes a person do such things that's interesting... and how prevelant it really is... |

I mean roids aren't all that interesting. They're a drug that has an effect on the body. What's special about that?
It's the mentality as well as the ignorance of society as a whole that is intriguing to me with regards to the subject. | | |
