I’m glad you raised the topic of obese being accepted especially for females.....all the fitness clothing line stores having larger sizes is great....but if you read the comments they say things like “be comfortable in your own skin”. How can being obese be comfortable 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ these women often don’t ovulate have periods, have high blood pressure, have or are starting to become type 2 diabetic! It’s alarming....recently I spoke with my “friend” who was worried about weight gain of a young family member.....her weight has ballooned and she was feeling depressed etc....however one of her friend groups said to her “your in fashion now, big legs and big butt” I’m happy that she’s feeling better.....but eating what ever you like is NOT healthy and it WILL take it’s toll eventually. Sorry about this rant but I’m very passionate about this too. My obese older sister had a heart attack in her late 40s it’s horrible we almost lost her! People need to understand that the stats dont lie.....one of the number 1 causes of cancer in developed countries is obesity!! The stats in NZ are terrible bowel cancer is very bad here 😢😢 the saddest thing is this IS preventable.....more education around eating better moving more needs to be taught! Ok rant over......💪🏽💪🏽❤️❤️ spread the word guys 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
Loved this topic. Especially since I am one of those that lost 80 lbs. I will now be making my bikini debut at the Arnold amateur this coming year. Couldn't have done it without my coach Adam Atkinson.
I agree, higher fat percentage should not be acceptable. I have been in both categories and it’s hard losing the weight but so much better for you especially as you inevitably age. Less stress on our healthcare and loved ones too.
Ashley mentioned not losing hair during prep and it got me thinking 🤔😣 Ive noticed hair loss ever since I started (2yrs ago) lifting weights and the only differences are caloric increases and heavy lifting. Could weight lifting be causing my hair loss?!?! I’ve also gone from 100-120lbs in that time frame...💓 loved the video guys, thank you so much for all your wisdoms...
Having and caring for my daughter changed my view. I was always very active and worked out six days a week not because I had to but because I love feeling strong. I’ve had to readjust my expectations of myself now that my resources and my time aren’t my own. I believe most people would be happier healthier.
Are there certain people types that would not be a good fit for a competition? Such as people with a history of yoyoing their weight? Should someone be able to maintain a healthy lean maintenance for a certain period of time before considering a prep phase for competition?
Nike offering plus size is good business and people who r overweight r becoming more health conscious and want nice good quality clothes to work out in. I know i get tired of baggy t shirts and walmart cotton shorts. 😞

Great content and great channel. 💕💪

Are these brands advertising larger sizes not promoting these people to be healthier by selling fitness attire for these people
Best looking man I've ever seen and I'm not talking about you Adam!💯👍😘😂
Who are you talking about?
@@dreatellez9849 -hi Drea! I was only joking about the fact that some people see athletic girls like lovely Ashley as manly.
Love you guys but that shirt is hideous lol. I'd rather have Ashley's hot sauce.
