I will start with creatine again after ages…
That is because I want to get stronger in my workouts,and help my muscles to maintain better,and also even gain some little more muscles while dieting
This time I decided to try a new brand I have never tried before, last time I tried creatine monohydrate,but it did not gave me the effect I was after( strength )

Hi LO,
I have an adjustable barbell set but not a squat rack. So I can’t squat very heavy because it becomes dangerous to lift the barbell over my head before and after my sets. Besides stiff legged deadlifts (I sometimes feel strain in my back), what exercises do you recommend for maximum muscle building?
Are dumbbell squats as effective? I feel like the weight pulls down on my arms more than my legs.
Thanks so much! You are such an inspiration and I love your blog! You should make a workout DVD.

LO :
If you can’t do squats,then I suggest deadlift, but first learn the technique. Dumbbells squats will work fine as well,but the bad thing about dumbbells squats requires a lot of weights in the end,and it can be tough for your hands,one solution could be lifting straps.
Hi lo. I noticed some people measure there meat after it is cooked? Do you measure your food before or after it is cooked?
LO :
You can do either way,but it is a difference between a non cocked meat and a cocked meat,I weight my food often when it is non cocked,so I can checked out the food label and count calories from there
Hi Lo! love question and answer time! What r the different types of fitness magazines r out there and which r the ones u really like and why?please n Thank you!
LO :
I don’t really read fitness magazines because most magazines are bull shit,just because they are trying to sell supplements that has no science background and claim they work,of course it can be some great articles in fitness magazines as well,but they are too expensive for mostly advertising on crap. And I don’t buy it because everything that is in them I already know.
hi lo
I have been doing ur 15 min booty workout on Mondays and Wednesday’s (also I do the reverse lunge combined with Sumo squat at the end of these workouts) and will do ur brutal booty workout on Fridays starting this week. I currently use 5 pounds on each arm cuz I’m 17 n don’t wanna stunt my growth but will lift more periodically.I eat a banana or white bread with milk after my workout…i usually eat within 2500-3000 calories of healthy food everyday.is my workout routine good enough for me to see great results on my butt? my body is pretty athletic since i used to play soccer a lot and have always worked out… my butt is currently plump round n not flat but I would love to increase it’s size… so again do u think my workout will show me great results on my butt? also I think I may have strained my neck a little.. any info on tht? thanks again for ur awesome website n information 
LO :
If this will be enough for you is impossible for me to say, It all have to do with how hard you train and how intense you make your workout each time you train,you could have a great workout with just 3-4 set total IF you really train intense and all you have got. you have to see it for yourself and do your best in every workout you do.From what I can see it is a good start.
Hi Lo ! What do you think of MACA? Is maca can help to gain weight in specific areas like butt or hips ? Also, I want to gain fat, do you think It is faster to gain fat than muscle ? Or is it more efficient to train ? I just need to gain weight in 4 months so I don’t know what is better. I already gained 10 pounds. Thanks
LO :
Maca will not give you a butt or hips,it is a energy boost supplement and health herb. of course you will gain fat faster than muscle mass
Hi Lo I just wanted to first off say that you are such an inspiration! I appreciate all that you do for us ladies My question is, is it possible for me to slim down(mainly my stomach and arms) while gaining a bigger butt? I’ve given birth to four children and I gained weight. Your shape is EXACTLY how I want to look. I’m feeling really motivated and I’m starting my workout and diet tomorrow. I’m ready to start slimming down while gaining bigger muscles in my butt, but I just wanted to make sure I can do both at the same time. Any help from you is greatly appreciated! Thanks SO much and have a wonderful day
LO :
Yes, you can slim down(lose fat) and gain more muscles, but the process will take longer,but if you think it is worth it, then do so, otherwise you can lose fat first(it is the easiest part) and when you are satisfied, you can start focus on building muscles only.
Hey lo I have not had good luck with butt building. I grow alot of weight in my legs is their a way I can tone my legs and have a larger butt?
LO :
You could try do more butt isolation exercises for a while to help give your butt a boost,legs will always be more toned if you lose fat and still weight train
Hey LO I am 5’2 and 17 years old and I want to have wider hips and a bigger butt. I do HIIT workouts 3 times a week and I am planning on starting to go to the gym. My question is how do I know when to increase the amount of food I eat and how long should my weight training workouts lasts?
LO :
Your body will tell you when you need more food, because you will get more hungry! otherwise you can add 200 cals extra every month or so, go to beginners corner to read more info

Hi L.O, I have a naturally skinny body. I started weight lifting few tears agai and I gained a few inches in my butt ,however I feel that my legs grew even more than my butt and I feel that it prevents my butt from being as visible since my legs are overpowering. Is it possible for me to gain more in my butt while reducing my legs?
Thank you
Steph
LO:
You could do more isolating exercises for your butt like butt bridge and donkey kicks

I have been so busy the past week and this week, Omg, I could not train my butt on Tuesday because I was too exhausted mentally,so I decided to wait one day extra,so..instead of booty workout, I trained my calves and biceps instead.
Yesterday I had the same problem, I was really ,really exhausted mentally,and i thought to myself “how in the HELL can I manage to train my ass tonight” my brain literally tried to find ALL kinds of different excuses for not working out
I had to lie down on my bed and try to focus mentally for my workout,and I said to myself ” You skipped your ass workout yesterday, and here you are with the same problem again, should you really skip it tonight as well??!!”
“You will never ever get where you want if you continue to skip a workout here and there, it is your choice, you are just mentally exhausted and not physically, it is a big difference”
So I closed my eyes and relaxed for 30-40 min,just lay there and saw myself doing my ass workout(visualization) I also checked out my weight training log to see what kind of exercises I was going to do so I could prepare mentally for that too
I slapped myself in the face and then I told myself ” Here we go! If you want it, you have to do it!!” I put on my favorite music and then started my warm up and stretching,and then I did my free back squats!
This was not the best workout because I was not really focused,BUT the best part is that I DID IT!
No anxiety for not doing my workout,just a happy face and I could sleep tight
So tonight it is my shoulders and arms workout<3

Dear Lo,
I am 20 yrs old, African American and I believe I am a natural apple shape becuase i gain weight in my stomach, thighs and arms and i also have love handles that I just cant stand. I really desire an hourglass body with a nice big round juicy booty. I wanted to know how can I achieve wider hips for a more curvy waistline, after I’ve lost the bulge of the lovehandles? I want a very very round, pronounced curve to my waist and hips. Also im about 60 lbs overweight at the moment 
Thank you very much, I appreciate what you do for ur followers. Your my inspiration to become more healthy and fit and have the body of a goddess!!
LO :
It is possible to gain more muscles while you are losing weight,easier for a beginner,BUT if you lose fat and build muscles at the same time and you want a larger butt and hips,you wont see drastic changes as long as you are losing fat because you will lose fat much faster than you gain muscles, so lose fat means that you will lose fat all over, including your hips and butt too,so your butt and hips will look smaller from fat loss.
So don’t expect to see drastic changes from losing and building at the same time, the best way to see changes is to lose the fat you have(as much as you need) and then focus only on building muscles after that. you can find free workout plans for wider hips and bigger butt HERE
hi bretty
can i take protein carb poudre only or
should i eat banana with milk too after ex
ent othet meal 2 eges are enough !!!
LO:
A protein shake is a must post.workout if you want to gain muscles,and you can also add a banana or maltodextrin to give your muscles some recovery if that is necessary as well
Hi L.O
The Muscles on the front of my legs builds up faster than my hamstrings. What exercise I can do or routine to help it build it faster … because it looks sort of flat and the front is nice and plump and I can feel the muscles. I know deadlifts are good but I’m afraid that I’ll do it wrong and have the guys at the gym come and tell me that I’m doing it wrong and use that as in excuse to start a conversation with me. Its annoying. . Your lucky you workout at home lol
LO:
I suggest that you learn stiff deadlift,because it is the most effective exercise for hamstrings,so you should not be afraid to get help from the guys in the gym;-) otherwise you can use legcurl
Hi lo I just had a baby 8 months ago I wanted to know how I can build muscle while trying to get rid of belly fat
LO :
Just do weight training and cardio and eat less calories, more muscles will help you lose fat faster because it raise your metabolism,you can’t spot reduce fat, A full body weight training program and cardio would be good for you
What are the best exercises to target your upper gluteus and your hips?
LO :
Hip abductor would be one exercise to use
Hey Lo, I am 5’11″ 150 lbs looking for a foods/workout to maintain more weight. My husband & I have been doing P90X for two weeks & I lost over 10lbs. I wasn’t trying to lose weight, but I always do. I am 31, and I just had my 3rd baby a year ago.
LO :
P90X is a lot of cardio, to help you lose fat at the same time you are toning your body.If you don’t want to lose fat,then you need to eat more food and stay away from too much cardio,regular weight training program full body would work and minimize cardio
I am just finishing recovery from a concussion. I have been told I need to take it extremely easy, because if and when I stress my head (more bloodflow: squats, deadlifts would do the trick) I will be set back on my recovery. I plan on starting getting back into the groove within a couple of weeks. Is there any exercises that are beneficial but tame enough for me to do, then? Glute thrusts would work…. But if you could help me out by tossing some more work outs I would be more than grateful. Being restricted for the past three months has been the worst and I just want to tear that gym apart!!! Thanks a million!
LO:
Stay away from the basic heavy exercises and use more isolation exercises for a while,leg cur,leg extensions,donkey kicks etc etc
Hi Lo thank you for this wonderful blog, it helps me so much ! you keep us motivated and you give very important tips
I have chicken claves and I hate that, I would like to know how can I make them bigger, are muscle calves more often to get bigger if I train them with heavy weights and not so many reps and sets or If I I train them light and for a looong time (15mn in the workout) thank youuu
Much Love
LO:
Calf muscles can be very stubborn if you are not born with them (big muscles calves) What works pretty good,even better than weight training is hill sprint,jump rope or jog etc,and you can train your calves like this very often, like every day
I’m 5’2 down from 223 to 186 from having my baby, what do I need to do to loose this weight?? I’m soooo frustrated and am stuck
LO :
What you need is to be strict and patient,use high interval training to help get rid of stubborn fat and a healthy less calorie diet,a full body workout to boost your metabolism as well
Hi Lo, thank you so much for doing this, it really means a lot. Wearing tight jeans, I literally lost part of my hips, specially gluteus medius muscles. Naturally, I have wider hips and thighs but now I lost part of it and it annoys me because I love wider hips. I would love to know which exercises can help me to build my gluteus medius muscles again and get them back in the right place. Thank you again. Much love.
LO :
No clothes will shrink your muscles or lose fat in some areas,something else have happen to you and probably weight loss without being aware of that,sometimes we stress and forget to eat or in periods eat less and are being more active etc
What you can do is to gain more muscles and use the wider hips schedule HERE
Hi Lo! I am having trouble losing arm fat but I want wider hips and bigger butt. Basically, my upper body is bigger than my bottom. How can I get it be the other way around? Please help! Thanks!
LO :
You can’t spot reduce fat, you need to lose fat all over, cardio and eat less and healthy,to gain wider hips use this HERE
