Notes~ I am really worried that I did not put on enough muscle. Some days I feel big and other days super small.
If I get to 14-15% BF and I am a twig I am pulling out and bulking again.

Don’t pull out! Stick to it and kick ass! You can do it!

we’ll see. I would rather not make an ass of myself :smiley:
I am 100% committed to doing it tho so whether it be in the spring or the fall really doesnt matter. I ‘think’ I will be ok for spring tho.

Wow. What a great back!

Thanks snap!!

Do you cycle carbs? Your muscles can look relatively full or flat depending on how much glycogen and water you are carrying. In any event, I wouldn’t worry about it, you look great.

no, no carb cycling…just lots of eating :D. Yeah, my water fluctuation has been pretty bonkers these days.
And thanks :slight_smile:

Had to change the order up a bit. Felt pretty crappy after the squats and needed to give my legs a break before I tackled calves. I often thought of quitting today. grumble grumble grumble…

Stay positive!

lol I reread that last part of my post. I most definately meant just cutting that work out short, not quitting everything. Bad wording choice!

I am positive :slight_smile:

Heavy squats and deads 2X per week is a tough one! I will be glad to kiss them good bye :smiley:

I didn’t even catch that you were deadlifting and squatting twice per week…
You warrior!
I don’t know much about romanian deadlifts. Do you feel they help your regular deadlift?
Also, my friend said that “Chicks that lift too much are gross” so I showed him you to make my argument that it certainly DOES NOT make women un-attractive haha.

lol I dunno about warrior!! I hate to say it but this last part of the program I have hated so much but its gave me the best results :smiley: Like they say, you have to go out of your comfort zone to see change!

I dont know if it will have helped my deads, I am sure it will have somewhat. I do them now as we have been trying to bring up my hams and glutes.

Awwww thanks :slight_smile: Glad I could be of assistance :wink:

I will post my end of bulk pics/beginning of contest prep pics later today.

results of my 16 week bulk.

up 6-7 pounds, dont think to much was fat.

hard to tell where it all went in the pics tho :frowning: but in real life I can see it if that makes sense. I guess while doing things and not striking poses :smiley:

Shoulders gained but I am doubting enough for figure.

Legs came up nicely…I have hams now and I think they will pop once I loose the fatz. I have quite a pocket under my ass.

Hard to know for sure tho how things will turn out…I cant really find any picks of figure women at my BF percent to compare myself to.

My shoulders and back were so fatigued I couldn’t spread my back or flex my shoulders at all for the pics!

I have 2 more dead/squats days and 2 more OHP/RDR days and then I can coast the remainder of Christmas (next :eek: ) week.

Cut starts Dec 30th!! I have my diet plan. I have fears. :smiley:

Here are my official ‘before’ pics.

Side pose is the best! Shows off your shape very well.
