Its confusing. But i guess using weights will be good no matter what. Should i just eat at maintenance? I actually want to lose weight so Im not sure if i should weight to start lifting.

You know what I agree with you. You're right. I meant to say 500 under where she is now, and I was Assuming she has been gaining weight.
I'd just eat maintenance if I were her. After like a month, maybe adjuat it downward if need he since homeostasis would have changed as she loses weight.
Stop.

It is though

Shut up, Kirk.

What ??? Nooooooooooo that a starvation diet .

So i should eat less than maintenance? Ok thanks, that's what i was wondering about.

You're a woman. You can't gain big muscles without steroids. Do heavy weighted squats and eat 500 calories under maintenance, and use MyFitnessPal.

Hi intensity cardio combined with weight training …. but stuff the 5x5 it’s to low of reps .Id say normal set progression should be 12,10,8,6 … with 8 and six being pretty hard to push out the last few reps .Then after your set of 6 reps or so ,drop the weight down and do a set of 12 to 15 reps.Do this rep pattern on the core exercises like bench press and on isolation exercises like side laterals do 3 sets of 10 or so .Stick to 3 or four exercises per body part at most .I hope this helps .

Oksy that’s different then I thought 5 x5

yes! it's a good way to start out. when you get stronger you will need to start higher of course.

lifting heavy is how you get toned and strong. women don't have enough testosterone to "build huge muscles." they just get a more feminine physique. this is especially true when you're eating at a defecit - even women eating at a huge surplus and TRYING to gain muscle can't gain more than a few lbs a year. lifting > cardio too. **** cardio. lifting is actually fun. when i got started i just googled basic strength training plans (which lead me to bodybuilding.com) and watched youtube videos. now i lift heavier than vlad.
