Really? I don’t see it; certainly no “wow”. Pictures were taken under diff. conditions. 3lbs diff. is hard to spot.
Doesn’t mean you are not on the right track though.
I think it would be helpful to also take measurements (waist+legs), but that is of course for J. to decide.[/quote]
Good grief. [/quote]
Me?
I, for one, think you look fantastic. Honestly, I think you looked awesome to begin with. Now, you look really fit. I wouldn’t listen to infinite_shore. Many have said how well you can see a change. Don’t let it bother you. Like I said, your body is wow.

I don’t think he’s referencing you, just the fact your pictures show obvious improvements, so he doesn’t see where Infinite_shore is coming from.

Everyone has been super supportive. One coward isn’t going to bring me down. I see a huge difference. Thank you!

Good for you!! there are a lot of people who are very negative on this site and like to tear down other peoples accomplishments. Infiniteshore is one of them, don’t let him get to you. Keep up the good work.
Coward? Hater? Please.
It was my honest assessment and I only commented because people around here love to engage in circle jerking, especially when a female is involved. I don’t like that since it only holds people back in the end.
To me it looks like the main difference comes from different camera distances (can make a massive difference).
Of course, I can be wrong but I think it is in line with your fat loss of 3lbs. In my experience spotting 3lbs difference is not easy.
But I got the message and leave this thread to the cheerleaders.

Plz get eyes checked. If you can’t see the obvious progress you suck at assess progress
Huge differences I think. Keep it up!

I actually know what you’re talking about, with the “OMG lets WK the one female in this forum”, but I don’t think that’s the case. I know that Jake and Ryan are both brutally honest, and I would never toot someone’s horn just because. I think there was clear progress made, though. So no one is calling you out for being negative, just wrong lol.

Dammit, the evidence that I suck at assessing progress is mounting, eh? haha
Still not entirely convinced here, though.
I have almost 3 years worth of weekly progress pics of me (under the same conditions) as my “credentials”.

That last line made me almost spit diet mt dew all over
It has nothing to do with Nez being a female. I am enjoying and following all of the posts that Zraw and Jake are doing. I’m just commenting on your posting history in general, from what I’ve seen the majority of your posts are negative. I’m not going to argue with you or derail this thread and you are entitled to your opinion but why not keep it to yourself if it’s not going to be productive or helpful.

Right. No negativity here =/
I have set Nez up with a very challenging split and diet, so yea…I guess it warrants a little bit of “cheerleading.” I think everyone who is “circle jerking” maybe acknowledges how tough it is. Ironically, alot of guys posting positive comments in this thread are the posters I consider to be more brutally honest…including myself.
Nez,
Will you have access to cardio machines on your off days? Or would you like to stay clear of the gym those days?
I’d like to add a few cardio sessions/week and want to know your preference. We can put them on off-days or after one of the lifting days.
I’d rather run on the streets of my neighborhood in the early am. I despise treadmills and elipiticals. They make me dizzy. Unless you have another idea for cardio?
Fear the cardio Nez…
FEAR IT
Awesome.
On your off days you’re gonna do some sprints then.
Make sure you’re warmed up. Then go for 5 total sprints, each 10 sec. These are to be 100% intensity and try to accelerate throughout the sprint. Rest 2-5 min between sprints.
Keep diet as is.
