Lifting Weights, Fitness and Breast Implants. How Will It Affect my Training?

March 15, 2011
Asked By:

I have always been physically active in my life. I have played soccer for 15 years and tried and done every sport possible. About a year ago I got into physique competitions. I am a bikini and figure competitor and a fitness model. Training is my life and more and more I realized that having a chest specially in this industry is pretty important. I have always been a size A, and I realize this will never change. My concern is how will the implants effect my training and lifting heavy weight? Since my life revolves around the fitness industry I would need to know if having implants will cause me more complications then not having them. I have heard a lot of good things from professional athletes and also some very shocking horror stories about weight training and implants. Besides my career I have wanted to have a bigger chest, I would love to be able to fill out a bikini or bra without having to buy padding. Can someone give me some advice? or information. Thanks Fitness woman
