This just occured to me - is it okay to do weight training when using brava or will it diminish results? I have recently lost about 60 pounds and want to start weight training to build muscle, therefore my protein/carb intake would be pretty high, not like when losing weight with low calories etc...

Also, is it okay to do chest/pectoral muscle work?

I am so clueless!

I weight trained all the time when I wore Brava, both cycles, and I had very good growth.
I think it is very sensible of you not to cut down on your calorie intake while using Brava because eventhough a few girls have reported good growth and weight loss at the same time it is not recommended and could make you grow less. I also did a lot of cardio which is not really recommened either but if you eat sensibly it shouldn't affect your growth I think. It didn't mine.

I also did chest exercises, bench press, push ups, you name it and it didn't effect my growth. I think I read somewhere it was not recommended but I do competetive sports so it wasn't a question for me. I don't see the harm in it and am curious to see what the other girls have to say about it.

Good luck girl

Hey Rose,

Thanks for getting back - I have a little bit more weight to go but it's more about muscle gain at this point so I'm planning to do a small clean bulk whilst weight training. My fingers are well and truly crossed!

How much did you gain, if you don't mind me asking?

I gained 2 inches (4 cm) during my first cycle and my second cycle I evened my breasts out (didn't measure) and just finished it a week ago. I have before and after pictures in the personal pictures forum from cycle 1 if you want to see :) Good luck!
