Thnx That's funny, I guess I've been bull:censored::censored::censored::censored:ted a lot cuz I have a bunch of big guys saying they would have trouble lifting 240lbs when they weigh 220lbs. I guess it has been established here then that I am not the healthiest person since it isn't easy...

Thnx Thanks for looking up everything in OSHA! I do believe my lift and the requirements are safe, just difficult for me, my current strength and build. I met with my Dr before beginning training and he cleared me for working up to this lift. I worked a music festival before this as a temp and...

Thnx Thanks! I hate how so many people I have seen have told me I won't be able to lift that. I'm saying, "no, i just need to know HOW to get there and faster than normally." I finally found the right people who believe I can get there quickly and are helping out. So far I have made progress...

Thnx I have never thought for a minute I should be held to different standards. I simply asked for advice on how to reach this goal, not to find a way around it. I'm not sure why you thought this thread was going in that direction. I've committed to a personal trainer and have other female...

Thnx Thanks so much for the advice and support.

Training They have me lifting weights and doing cardio 6 days a week, alternating bench press, leg press, rowing, lunges and curls. I have been referred to protein shakes and to avoid high fat foods. I already eat mostly vegetarian and am not overweight. Just small with little muscle obviously...

Lol Love it!! That's how it feels! Haha

Thanks Thanks for the advice. I am eating a lot of protein and will make sure I am eating enough to stay healthy and gain the muscle. I have to be able to dead lift 140lbs and lift that up to a line on the wall which for me, I must go on my toes to reach. Also, I have to dead lift 120lbs and...

I am a female EMT and am concerned about the lifting. I truly thought I had this but I recently did my lift test and fell 50 lbs short of my final lift. I am petite but don't want to be a burden and not able to adequately do the job. I have hired a personal trainer and am on a high protein, low...
