Hey guys,
I’m 5’7, 22yo 135lbs female. I started lifting heavy two years ago after I recovered from an eating disorder via modeling career.
It’s been very difficult for me to gain any muscle or bulk. I was completely atrophied and couldn’t move the barbell when I started. I put on about 20lbs through increasing my calories/lifting heavier/progressive overload but it’s not storing well.
I eat about 2,500+ calories that consist of protein/carb/fat. I do 3 days a week of full body w/ percentages and one day of HIIT.
I’m getting increasingly frustrated as I see other women breeze through my max weights within months of lifting or when I don’t see any strength or physical results. My trainer says it’s because I’m not pushing myself hard enough, or that I need to increase calories.
I don’t know what else I can do. I always give 100% and follow my workouts to a T. I’ve been force feeding myself so often that I don’t even enjoy eating food anymore/I end up gagging it down.
I feel ashamed that even my 100% isn’t enough for results. Any recommendations that will help me feel like this isn’t all for nothing?
