you look great - with a tan you are going to look so wonderful right now!
only area that jumped out at me is the glute/ham tie in - need more separation there.
Hey DG thank you for the reply
Suggestions are welcome to add on to this. Off the top of my head Leg day 1 will be more quad focus...Front squats (if I dont fall over), Leg Press, Leg Extension (single leg focus as well), Side Lunge, Sissy Squats etc
Glutes & hams will consists of Weighted Walking Lunges, Weighted Steps Ups, ATF Squats, Reverse Lunges (again if I don't fall over lol) SLDL, Leg Curls (prone and/or standing single leg option), Hypers, possible Good mornings, Hamstring Raise (glute hamraise... These I feel helped before, but I did them with hypers about 2 X a week)
I am not listing everything so anyone, please feel free to throw something else in the mix.
Thank you again for the support Daisy.

This side is nice n' quiet, so I'll post here. Buns, you have an incredible physique already and only have a little bit of tweaking to do. Your back already has the V-shape and to my untrained eye, I don't see anything out of symmetry. As for your calves, they are there, just need to hit them heavy. I find doing donkey calf raises work wonders for making the "ice cream" (top of calf) pop out and seated calf raises makes the "cone" (bottom of calf) pop out. Also, practicing walking in hooker heels will help build up the calf muscles.
Congratulations on your decision! You will do great!
Thank you girl

Calves are VERY tough for me to get to pop out. I've done the once a week NOTHING, adjusted cardio to be done on my toes NOTHING, It was after I added in 2-3 times a week SOMETHING popped out at me and I had calves for the 1st time ever

This leads me to believe in this case, MORE is better and frequency is key.
About the calf region... if I flex the area REALLY hard, my feet & calves cramp up... where sometimes I have to massage OUT the area. I thought it was b/c the reconstruction I had on my right ankle but it also occurs with the left. I also have played soccer my whole life & have been very active, SO ... I think my feet & running adjusted to accomodate my ankle problem, causing an imbalance in the way I walk (more on outsides of feet) It funny you can see this in my dress heels and the way my shoes wear down. I use to bartend for 4-5 years & 6-9 hours walking in 3.5" heels didn't to anything but mess up my posture lol

There was a point where I could not NOT have a heel on.
Anyhow, I guess my point is there is obvious weakness when trying to push with my big toes (think calf press) then if I did with the little toes (i.e. toes in toes out toes forward presses)
I'm rambling b/c I AM picky

Thank you for the suggestions

I ain't sweatin' nuttin - just the lean down - you've got all the parts & the muscle - just get the lean down, get the abage going and make sure your top to bottom symmetry is good - that's probably the one place I'd pay the most attention to because the rest we've already seen how it comes out

And that's me being picky too. The posing will also help towards that so you will want to first get comfortable w/ the basic posing and then tweak it as you lean down to show off the best cuts, balance anything that's not optimal and just to get it to look natural on you.
Thank you Sassy. I do NOT like the way my shoulders look when I try to 'pose' .. they have SO MUCH more potential in that are being my strong point, they look flat and deflated. They are NOT either. Posing is def. going to be the hard part for me.
