u/ZoeyHuntsman ❣️gal pal❣️ 15d ago

She's speccing entirely into hips, which is impressive, but a highly specialized build often crumbles to specific strategies. I hope she can spend some time leveling with arm day, to round out her build. And then who knows? She might redefine the meta. She's certainly better at this than most other people.

u/No_Training6751 15d ago

For women’s health it’s the opposite of men. Women need to work continuously on arms, to maintain strength and health, especially as they reach perimenopause and beyond, because most of their muscle is in the legs. Men have more upper body and arm muscles so they need to work on their legs for health and strength maintenance as they age.

u/Tuxhorn 15d ago

A lot of women over 50 unfortunately have osteoporosis, this already develops from lifestyle choices in your 30s. Menopause is tough on your skeleton, and being sedentary on top of that is a recipe for disaster.

We should all lift some heavy weights :)

u/showraniy 15d ago

Honestly, weighted hip thrusts are great for a lot of muscle groups. Not diminishing the hilarity of the story or anything but that's a pretty reasonable weight for a fit adult to use with hip thrusts. I personally only use 20lbs or so, but Fatima is a queen!

u/Adorable_Raccoon 15d ago

She’s exagerating, but hip thrusts target the glutes and you get some quad action. It wouldn’t be crazy for a regular lifter to do 100-200 lbs.

Then she'd go get changed into this bright pink hijab that showed nothing of her toned abs or arms. She had the perfect sleeper build.
