Unbalanced Physique

ok good.

keep training the legs - you are over analyzing. There seems to be a LITTLE saddle bag, but that will go towards the end of a diet anyways.

I would say you have a great starting point, but you can afford to put on a fair amount of muscle.
Shoulders… get those capped, arms built and toned.

Where are your lats? (j/k!) you need to work on those… double the work IMO.

If you do seated calf stuff along with the standing stuff, you will be able to thicken the lower leg a little.

But for the main question - keep hitting legs hard, they are proportionally a little bigger - but they arent a) that much bigger and b) have more size to get put on, believe it or not!

Get those front squats, squats, lunges, leg curls, romanian deads, deads all working to build up those quads and hammies.

Any more specific questions you feel free to PM me, check out my site in my ‘about me’ too if you like.

Thanks for the wake-up call. I don’t jiggle at all when I walk, so I wasn’t really worried about it, but you are right. Recently I went thru a rather stressful time and was losing weight (not just fat, I suspect) on 3’000 cals/day. Now that the stress is gone, I think 2’500 might be more appropriate. I’ve been doing the Anabolic Diet for the past 6 months and cutting 500 cals of fat should be relatively painless. That will bring the ratio to 5%C-31%P-64%F

ok well first of all, there arnt a lot a women aas users that post on here and generally between the rest of us we are brutally honest. Any remarks are meant as constructive criticism and intended to help you improve. That being said, you look good but what are your goals? If you wish to just tighted up, stay on a good diet+cardio 2x/day along with your lifting. I dont think your lower body overpowers your upper although it is more developed. Keep working out both upper and lower. I dont know how u lift but i might suggest trying to lift heavy (4-6) rep range for upper body. i know some figure girls that benefit from this. you dont have to worry about getting too bulky using that amount of var. If anything it will help bring out your lines better. Anyway looking good keep it up.

In a nutshell:
u need improvement on chest,abs and drop a few lbs (2-4lbs im sorry dont take it the wrong way) and BAM!! your a dime (:

whats not to understand? A 18yo guy has far more natural test then a 18yo girl. This will result in the guy having a much greater anabolic potential then a female. Not trying to come off as sexist but its science…

If you are following the Anabolic Diet fine, but make sure if you come off not to transfer those ratios to another plan - it wont work. It is a great diet by all accounts…

Hust FYI - i am 12% and 190lbs and i am taking in 2100(avg.) cals to drop a couple lbs… maybe you should re-assess a little. How tall are you?

I didnt mean you look like you jiggle - please. Just telling you what my opinion. Professional opinion i might add… :wink:

But what results have you gotten from the anabolic diet over the last 6?

whoops my b, im tired as shit. i looked but i guess i missed it at the end there.

Well then, i would bump up the var a little and put on a little more mass before u decide to diet for a show. your legs are on par but walking lunges should be done at least weekly, as your ass can make or break a figure comp. pretty much my recommendations stay just gain a little quality muscle on im assuming your back and front upperbody then your goin to have to loose more then 2-4lbs. Maybe make a log here?

I agree… more MUSCLE! EVERYONE NEEDS MORE MUSCLE!!!

(little off topic… i am REALLY pleased with how my traps look from the rear… i have ‘genetic’ traps, and i am A HAPPY FOOKIN CAMPER TODAY!)

Brook

PICS JJ PICS!!

I would offer advice as well but pretty much anything I’d say has already been said. Keep up the good work!

lol! I have a real hard time - no camera (except a shitty fone) and only me… but i hope to get some sort of pics soon… let me have a few weeks and i will try to get some up…

So true!I remember when I was 18, taking my 16YO brother to the gym and watching him muscle up like magic, whilst I continued to struggle.

I imagine he felt just as much envy towards me; I have always had beautiful skin, whilst he really struggled with acne and needed medication for it. It’s all about the testosterone, great for the body, bad for the face.

BTW, just for a little comparison, this is me before I started on the Anabolic Diet:

As far as calories are concerned, I think I must have a freakish metabolism, or maybe it’s just the diet. I’m 5’8, not overly tall, but I started the AD on 18+TBW(120lb)=2160. I was gaining a little strength, but steadily losing weight.

My boyfriend was worried about me, cos you could see all of my ribs, thru my back and thru my sternum. In the gym, when I would wear a crop-top, I could see the trainers looking at me with concern.

If I had PMS, I would be sorely tempted to front one of them and say, “DOGAMMIT, I am NOT anorexic! I probably eat more than you do! Kindly turn your attention to your client, who is paying you by the hour!”

So I bumped up the calories time and time again. I was on 3’500 before I even started to gain. People can scoff at the metabolic advange of a low-carb diet, but I am living proof. On past experience, if I ate 2,500 cals and high carbs, I would be flabby and miserable.

Fair enough then - you know your body evidently.

I must say, your gaining of muscle is really impressive at this stage. For a female obviously.

You have brought your WHOLE BODY up from Uber-Skinny, to slim and lean. Well done that bird!

Now - TO THE RACK!! evil laugh

Good work. Nice Bra ;D

Great potential, but one more tip is work on your outer-quad development. Try standing with your feet closer together on squats and leg press. Really squeeze your quads on leg extensions too.

your bf would have a problem with the var, whats his deal does he lift and train,

My gear ran out 2 days ago, THAT SUCKS!!! I recieved 3 bottles, supposedly 20mL (10mg/mL) I took 5mg ED for the 1st 10 days, and 10 thereafter, it should’ve lasted longer than 5 weeks! Either my syringe is badly calibrated or I’VE BEEN RIPPED OFF! Stupid me, I have already ordered a 2nd lot from the same sourse, but it’s going to be at least another wk, provided no customs dramas.
Anywayz, here’s how I look now, I think there’s a slight improvement appearance wise and my strength has improved quite dramaticly. At the start, I could barely do 2 full push-ups, now I can do 10.

I really want to get my BF down, before I start bulking. I’ve been such a moody bitch on this cutting diet. The other day, a young kid nearly ran me over on his bike and boy did I let out an F-bomb! Think I scared him more than he scared me.
Did I mention my gear had run out? Not happy!

How did the drug affect you - emotionally, sexually, physically… i would be interested to know the difference it has in effect between the sexes.
Did you get any noticeable androgenic side effects? (i doubt it on that dose of var for that length of time)

For example with guys most get a little more aggressive, confident, stronger, raised libido, increased well being, increased cases of depression is actually more common than many let on too, general ‘Alpha Male’ actions.

As for your goal - your bodyfat looks to be more than low enough to bulk… ESPECIALLY for a woman. It looks low enough for a guy to bulk! (not counting the internal fat, just sub-cut of course).
Are you hitting resisted exercises hard and making sure the intensity (not load per-se) is 100%?

Your gear should have lasted about 9 weeks… something dodgy is going on. Could your boyfriend be using it too?!
When you get this next order (i suspect i know the sourse actually), check all your bottles to make sure you have enough - then plan your use around that.

I really didn’t notice any sides at all. A slight reduction in appetite, but I’m not complaining. As for my BF getting into my gear, if you knew him, you would know how funny that suggestion is. You know what they say about opposites attracting? He is 6" and bulks up just by working on the car. He hasn’t been near a gym in 15 years, but 20 chins, no problems. I’m convinced he could be a champion bodybuilder, 100% natural, but he has no interest whatsoever.

If he had even found my gear, the way it is packaged, he wouldn’t have a clue what it was -or I’d be in BIG trouble! One big fat hint about the sourse, I feel a bit of an AS* right now.

I don’t like deceiving people, but I feel that my body is my business and if he can’t understand what this means to me, I’d rather not beat my head against a wall.

As for my training, still doing the German Volume Training, though I’ve been “cheating” a bit, 6 reps/set with my 8RM, rather than the reccomended 12RM. No signs of overtraining.

I hope it’s not too personal, but I’m just wondering what you’re doing for birth control.
