I am asking for my wife who has been trying to lose weight. Can squats hinder the losing weight process?
I was wondering the opinion of other females here.
How about staying away from all the heavy exercises like deadlifts, squats, chins, bent rows. leg presses , hacks ect. and instead doing cables and dumbells, leg extensions (ie easy stuff) ...which is easier on your metabolism.
She has been on the clen (3 cycles) and had not lost a pound and was wondering if these exercises are something you girls would do if you were 29yrs old  5'6 and 148lbs and wanted to be 125lbs .
Oh, ya she eats clean 5x day, Very low carbs. I told her to cut back on breakfast and not eat anything until lunch (which is how I lose the BF) and she does cardio 3x week @130 bpm for 30-50 min.
She has been stuck at this weight for over 1 year now and getting frustrated and we need some experienced female input.
Thanks
