26F, 167cm, 56kg
The issues: For 3-4 weeks straight my hips and leg circumference have remained the same. Strength has progressively increased, but I've not lost any cm. I know for a fact, that I'm not eating more than I'm spending, so what's going on?
My Barbell back squat has been more and more difficult to do, which has even led me to not enjoy the workout anymore. I used to love squat day, now I'm all meh about it. Am I not eating enough? Am I pushing too hard? How do I best achieve the endurance of 5x10x55kg when I know I can lift 55kg?
Some (hopefully) helpful info:
I started weight lifting 2 months ago with 2 clear goals in mind:
1. Squat my body weight for 5 sets of 10 reps of 55kg.
2. Deadlift at least my body weight for 5 sets of 10 reps of 55kg.
My goals have been to increase my strength, reduce body fat (become smaller), and make sure I can use this strength consistently (endurance, hence why the 5x10x bw).
I've been consistently weight lifting for the last 2 months, and I've seen an increase in strength. I also do other exercises than what's shown here, but as my goals were as mentioned before, I'll only be discussnig these. My current stats are:
Deadlift 8x6x60kg (Tuesday, Friday)
Barbell back squat 5x7x50kg and 2x8x45kg afterwards (Monday, Thursday)
My lat pull down has increased to 40kg (Tuesday, Friday)
Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, are cardio. I vary it, sometimes it's high intensity, other times it's low, depending on what I feel I'd benefit most from.
I eat a high protein diet of about 110g protein per day, and I try to keep it around 1200kcal per day. I want to lose some fat tissue.
