Women's Liberation
Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy.
We stand up for the rights of women as a sex-class. Women have a right to bodily autonomy and to set their own boundaries and have them respected. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography. We oppose all harms and forms of exploitation of women and girls, regardless of whether or not they're sold as "choice" or re-framed as "empowering." We oppose the movement to redefine "women" in a way that erases the realities of our lives and makes organizing for our liberation as a sex-class impossible.
"In the radical feminist view, the new feminism is not just the revival of a serious political movement for social equality. It is the second wave of the most important revolution in history. Its aim: the overthrow of the oldest, most rigid class/caste system in existence, the class system based on sex – a system consolidated over thousands of years, lending the archetypal male and female roles an undeserved legitimacy and seeming permanence." –Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex

i do a combination of both powerlifting and bodybuilding and will be able to help. what is your workout routine for those 3 days?
I only go on the elliptical bike (3 times a week for an hour) and do 100 push ups against the wall every day.
I am not trying to lose weight (I’m at a good weight for my height, I just work out to stay healthy).
The problem I am having is that my arm muscles are starting to be visible and bigger but it doesn’t really look the way I want it to look and I’m not exactly sure why. Maybe I need some exercices targeting the opposite side of the biceps ?
so getting your cardio in is very important, but if you want to build muscle, you will have to lift weights. do you have access to a gym?
Not right now but I will in September.
so a very good program that i always recommend for beginners is megsquat's before the barbell program. it is a free program ran on instagram (@beforethebarbell) that's 3 days a week and uses basic equipment found at any gym. the whole program is on that account and she has video demos of each exercise per day. i would run her program for your 3 days instead of doing the elliptical for those 3 days and if you want, do the elliptical on an additional day instead. you really want to make sure you're working out BOTH your upper and lower body so you are not imbalanced as this will lead to a lot of injuries and problems down the road, and fortunately her program is very well-balanced.
That’s very helpful and exactly what I was looking for, thank you !
np! if you have any questions about the exercises/exercise alternatives or need help with anything, feel free to PM me!
i wanted to add that while you're waiting for the access to your gym, you can substitute a lot of her exercises with dumbbell or body weight versions. you can google the exercise name + dumbbell or bodyweight alternative.
