No offense, girl, but the pic is "before what?" - you look good. What is it that you are after? You're legs are tight, you have abs showing, is it that you want to compete, add mass or what? You're face is beautiful and your body looks REAL GOOD. IP: Logged |

Thanks BikiniMom but I am no where near where I want to be. I don't want mass I want to at 12-13%bf,ripped, and get rid of at least 2 inches off each thigh. I was into gymnastics for a long time and now after giving birth, growing older, and eating everything in sight I'm not looking like I used to. I want to compete in one fitness competition within the next 2 years. I've got the dance and gymnastics just not the bod. I will never be sleek and slender but I can be damn good looking with what I have if I try hard enough. ------------------ IP: Logged |

well, your abs look good, your legs look solid....I would concentrate on bringing up your upper body a bit & it will help you appear a lttle bit more balanced ( work on those shoulder caps)...once you start to see some more definition in your upper body( which is already pretty toned up) you will see a huge difference.....all in all an excellent start.

Question: Do you ladies even want the guys opinion? Seems some of you just search for those compliments you KNOW you'll get from your fellow female board members. If you want the real deal, I and Iron God and other HONEST and detailed bros can give you the FACTS as to what the opposite sex thinks. This is a fitness board and so the standards are centered around being FIT PHYSICALLY. ...thats if you care what males think. IP: Logged |

BigPappa - I'm all for constructive criticism. I know I need to tighten up my legs, add size to my lats, arms and DEFINITELY shoulders, also calves need some development. If there is anything else you see (in BB pics - the rest I have up are from BEFORE I got into competitive BB and seriously wanting to grow) please let me know! Maybe Iron God didn't see the pic where Tgirl is in the bathing suit - she said she would only leave that particular pic up for a short time. TRUST ME - that pic does not show a woman who would be mistaken for the Goodyear Blimp! (She has abs showing for God's sake!) Is there room for improvement - especially if she wants to compete? - Absolutely. But should she be so embarrassed about her appearance that she should not leave that particular pic up? - NO WAY!

I agree with IronGod. Are you girls looking for a bunch of "good job, way to go" comments or are you looking to tap into the vast knowledge of physique enhancement on this board. If the former is true, great, everyone needs encouragement. If the latter is true than you should post the very basic bodybuilding poses. For example, 1) Front double bi 2)Side chest 3) Back double bi. This would allow for honest critique and suggestions for improvement (which is what you're all working for right). From what I've seen the people here are knowledgeable to realize that they're looking at a persons potential and not current shape. For example, I can't help looking at an overweight or out of shape woman and assess her potential. Instead of stocky legs I see lean muscle underneath that with the right training and nutrition could grace the cover of a magazine. I can't remember who said it but the quote was "I wish every woman could live a day with her ideal body because once she knew how it felt she would be willing to make all the sacrifices neccessary to achieve and maintain it" From what I see you girls are willing to make the sacrifice. Keep up the good work. Galen ------------------ IP: Logged |

I'm with you, BigPappa! Geez everyone posts pictures with disclaimers like, "Oh, ick, I was so fat when this picture was taken!" "Don't be too grossed out over this picture!" "I really need to do a lot of work as you can see in these terribly fat pictures of myself!" Then they get everyone telling them how good they actually look, which they knew in the first place. If you want to see FAT pictures maybe I should post a few of myself!!!! Don't worry, I like all of you too much to make you toss your lunch. (and I'm NOT fishin' for compliments 'cuz I know there wouldn't be any!) IP: Logged |

Excuse me but I never wanted "ooooweee you look good" I believe the two picts I posted were not by any means glamour shots I'm just standing there trying to show I do have some muscle along with the fat. Thats basic. Excuse me if I offended anyone Like I said before, these picts are for more than just this board you don't have to look at any of them except the before and during picts which are labeled. And yes I would like to receive a few compliments on some part of me, anyone would. The picts will be taken down. I don't need a bunch of crude comments that I'm looking for compliments. Some of you may think I don't look that bad and some may think I need quite a bit of work but either way I was just asking for help because I have really gone downhill since having Lupus for the past 5 years and would like to have one more shot at looking good and appreciating it. Good Luck to the few who have supported me you know who you are I know you will do quite well. Mendy ------------------ IP: Logged |

Relax, girlfriend. My point is that you ladies look pretty darned good in your pics but always preface them with the comments about how "terrible" you look in them. Come on, you've GOT to realize that they look pretty darned good yet if you look at your initial post you put them down pretty hard. It's getting to be a trend here. Am I not right?? THAT'S my point.

I don't think there is anything wrong with prefacing the pics by saying "Yuck" That's why most of us train....I don't think that there is a bunch of self-haters here either. But saying that someone is fishing for compliments...C'mon how could we possibly know that? I just hate to see sweeping statements about anyone who posts pics because it is nice to know who we're talking to. Everyone has a different goal here too and different self images. If she were to have posted pics and said...HERE I AM! THE PERFECT SPECIMEN, some of you would have tore her a new booty.

I think one of the things that is a huge difference between men and women is that we are raised to believe that we have to be extremely self-effacing or we are not lady-like...It's a cultural thing. It's almost uncomfortable to look in the mirror and say "I look good" out loud to yourself, never mind letting someone else see you that you don't even know and can only imagine look like they came direct from MT. Olympus... Women in history have been told they must be fragile, demure, "the little angel in the house" There's a huge body of research on it..I personally believe that it is part of the reason there are so many men with issues with women who lift. It is tantamount to taking power. Having pride beyond in the body and not in being in service to someone else be it hubby, BF or kids breaks into a cultural taboo...we've come a long way in teh past 100 years but I think it is our daughters and grandaughters who will finally be free... Sorry for jumping on my soapbox...but I've watched my mom and grandmother and other women that I work with struggle simply to be acccepted as intelligent never mind intelligent, fit and strong! ------------------ "Omnia praeclara IP: Logged |

Well said Kaizen...as I get in better shape, feel more confident etc I am getting all sorts of strange comments designed to "put me back in my place" I guess. I am very close to borrowing some choice phrases I've read on this board and slap it right back at them. Its terrible to be in a position where if your out of shape, you are fat lazy bitch and if you are in great shape, god forbid have some muscles you are STILL a bitch - this time an uptight, stuck up one. ------------------ IP: Logged |

It's sad that when we grow muscles, we also must grow a set of balls too! Tnheygirl, email me your pictures. I will be glad to critique and help you where I can. I appreciate the comments from people who are actually trying to help and welcome all comments from men who really want to help out and share their expertise. Otherwise stick to the xxx sites for tongue hanging enjoyment. Also understand that it takes alot of guts for a woman to post her pictures because she is really exposing herself and setting herself up sometimes to be knocked down. I've noticed that the response to the men's pictures are way different than when the women post theirs. Maybe we shouldn't be so sensitive and if we are going to hang with the big boys, we better be able to take what is dished out, but we are women after all. Just take that into consideration.

Whoa...."before" pics? More like the type of girl I would like to see before me LOL Seriously, you look great already Tnheygirl. Keep up the hard work and you will get to where you want to be... In my opinion, you already look good, but I know sometimes we can be our own harshest critics, I am the same way sometimes myself... Talk about motivation, I saw a lady the other day in my gym that competes... she won a local show and got her pro card, she is still carrying 3% bf (as she is competing again in a few weeks)... really helped get me more serious about doing cardio (she does it twice a day, an hour per session during contest shape)... But, honestly, I prefer your look Tn... she is a little freaky looking close up that lean! ------------------ IP: Logged |

My reaction too, Iron God. I went away and looked at 3 different formulas for calculating bodyfat on a woman, and with all 3 methods you would need a negative number for a skinfold to get 3%. Must be one of those bio-impedence gizmos that generate semi-random numbers depending on hydration state, phase of the moon, and what color your eyes are! As for TNheygirl, I just want to re-affirm that you seem to have some good quality muscle on ya. Are you considering competing? IP: Logged |
