J, you look great!
Yea...my bi's suck ! I have genetically looooong bi's so, it is going to take a lot more work to get that peak...
Can you recommend any exercises that will help get that peak? Currently, I do cable curls with 55lbs. 10 reps, dumbell curls with 30lbs. @ 8 reps., and preacher curls with 55lbs. 10 reps. But, that's all I do for bi's.... Is that enough? Please suggest other target peak exercises.
Also, I notice that my forearms will compensate for my bi's when the weight is too heavy.... is there a way to avoid this or am I just holding the weights wrong?

Looks really good! I could only concur on the shoulder & bicep work. Biceps are a pain to get a peak on. I was able to get the best response by doing curls with around 15-20 lb weights and drop sets to failure on an incline bench, elbows in tight to your sides and wrists pointed more outward than straight ahead. Then do the curl with the wrist as if carrying a platter "waiter style" to get max contraction at the top. But be VERY careful with these or go at lighter weights because it can expose your elbows to a really unsupportable angle -- it definitely burns like a bitch, but if you aren't careful you might end up with tendonitis / strains.
I also like hi cable bicep curls to finish out a bicep work out.

Weakness?............
Hey girl, I think you look great, and I really don't see a weakness, but I also don't know what your goals are. So you wanna be like a fitness/figure model or are you more into bodybuilding, because your body is as nice or nicer than lots of the girls on the covers of Muscle and Fitness , Oxygen, etc. I guess the only 2 things I saw were your bi's and rear delts, but like I said before I really don't see this as a weakness, it's just that your back is a strong point for you.

I guess my goal is to get bigger, stay lean, and stay natural. I want to "top out" and just keep improving and get to the point where I am content and just want to maintain.
Personally, I feel like I need to lose a little more weight (maybe 10 pounds) and I would like more overall size (muscle). I would love to have nice, cut arms and just have the overall look of a person who works out more than the average person.
If I could lean out a bit more and gain about 5-8 pounds of pure muscle, I think that would be good. Here again, I am attempting to do this with no AS, just tons of ephedrine, so it may be next to impossible. I think I may try out creatine and see how that works for me.

Well, you already HAVE "the overall look of a person who works out more than the average person"! That's great you want to push further, that's what makes this sport fun. Even if you just leaned out some, you'll look like you have more muscle even though your actual measurements might get smaller, but there's nothing wrong with adding more real muscle either.
You mentioned wanting more peak on your biceps - try doing "7's" (also known as 21's) on the preacher bench. That's where you do 7 reps half way up, then do 7 more reps from the halfway point all the way up, then do 7 full reps. It doesn't have to be exactly 7, but that's the general idea. When you're done, you'll know your biceps were definitely stimulated
Just to reiterate what others have said...You do already have the look of someone who works out more than the average person, so quit worrying about that. And your goals are definitely attainable. How long it takes to reach them will be dependent on your training, genetics, and how good you are about you diet (like I said to you before...eating enough can be damn hard work in itself) but you will certainly get there if you're patient and give it the time necessary.
No - I have no traps and it's all because when I started working out - this guy told me that women don't have to work their traps because traps are for men...so, stupid me just went along with that.
But, here lately, I was talking to another girl in the gym that doesn't look liek she has "man traps" and she said that she does shrugs al the time. So, no - I haven't done shrugs EVER, but I am going to start this week. What body part should I work them with?
I will work on getting 1/4 turn neck to ankle photos tonight. Now, just to clarify - you mean full shots from all four angles, right?
Thanks again for your time.

You look good...DO NOT take advice from any man in your gym!!! Most of them cant even workout themselves let alone give you tips..Work your traps..I do every week. One week I go heavy 275 for 2-3 sets and light week I usually just go 185 for 3 sets. Actually its one of my favorite exercises..you need it for symmetry to!!!!

Yeah, I just love it when some guy with high body fat and less muscle than I have (and I'm not big, just pretty ripped) offers me workout advice. I'm thinking, "Guy, you have 10 TIMES the testosterone but nothing to show for it. I even have to fight the battle of female estrogen. If you'd work your muscles as much as your mouth, maybe you'd have something to give advice about. Or trade me some of your testosterone for some of my estrogen, and then let's talk!"
great advice!
I am 6 foot 7 so I feel your pain on the long muscles and bad advice! I am an ex-powerlifter and that is ex due to the fact I listened to idiots at my gym who told me what I could and could not achieve. I bulked up to 425 pounds!! 785 squat, 515 bench,and a700 deadlift. Not to mention the constant pain, heart palps and most important lack of sex! I took the last bit of advice from a older gent. in my brothers golf school, he said opinions or advice is a lot like assholes, every-one has one!!!
I have lost 100 pounds! feel fanfuckingtastic! Look great and I have more offers than I can keep up with!
Doing my own routine, took quite a while but- found out what works for me! You must do that. Every single one of us is diff. what works for some will not work for others. That goes for ,training, supplements,juice, or fucking orgasms!!!!!!
Hope this will help you and I think you look absolutely delicious!!!!

I start out by doing the T-bar rows - but we have the one where you are tilted forward at a slant and rowing back - I do 10 reps with 2 45 lbs plates. Then, I do standing (leaning a bit over) rows with the 45lb bar and 70 lbs. on the bar for 10 reps. Then, I do, (not sure what its called) the one-arm pull downs - isolated - with a 45lb plate on each side. Lastly, I do 2 sets of 25 reps of hyperextension holding on to a 45lb. plate to my chest.
I did those hyperextensions this last week and dropped the weight on my finger as I was setting it down - its all purple now......
But, I'll be good-to-go next back workout!

I love back training....
DEADLIFTS, using a periodized routine of all single reps, and shrugs, if you work traps with back, not shoulders, squeeze out as many as possible at the top of deadlift rep...
bent rows, 4x8-10 with 95-105lbs
pullups, 3xfailure, first set around 10, last might only be 4 or 5
I've been known to occasionally do good mornings, hyperextensions but not on a reg. basis.
