Don't know why exactly, it's not that much more protein, but it might be something to consider to get added protein.

Dvo, I looked at you're profile. You're a work of art yourself!

Here are some updated pics taken 4-11-09. Just turned 41. Been trying to lean out since 1/16/09...it's a slooowww process. I'm about to kick it up a notch with an 8-week transformation challenge in the 40+ "group" here on BB.com. Wanna find my 2-pack to complement my 4-pack! LOL

NuMal70 · 04-12-2009, 06:30 PM

Wow..you ladies make me look like a toad

After so many years, I am getting back into being fit for myself and my son. I have beat the odds of my family by being healthy and fit to avoid hypertension and diabetes (almost every female that's been my age has been diagnosed with either or or both). Now, I want to kick it up a notch or five. Some of my friends have chided me with starting too late, being too old, etc but I'm determined.

For someone kicking up their fitness goals to higher levels, do you ladies and gents have any advice for a beginning builder? I have joined a gym and signed on with a personal trainer for starters.

Just getting started and trying to stay motivated. Great inspiration here! I don't have any progress pics yet since I've just begun, only beach pics from a couple of weeks ago that were a rude awakening.

WOW. You do NOT look 45. That's awesome. Keep chipping away and you will get the body you want...that's what I keep telling myself.

rhaxton72 · 06-06-2009, 06:37 AM

Looking good Summer Girl. You are a Hottie.

muskolls · 06-11-2009, 04:09 PM

Wow...you guys look great! I am trying to gain muscle to my arms....can't seem to do it yet!

I am just getting into figure fitness. I am from the Bahamas and I just recently won my first Novice championship here. I am off to Miami on Wednesday to compete in the Muscle Mania Universe weekend in the figure and Bikini competitions, this is my first international comp and second comp all together. I am so nervous, I worked hard I came down form 178 pounds to 132 off season and 128 on season. That is small for my height being 5'11" but I pull it off. Any advise for boosting my shoulders and back as I have a small frame and a narrow back. My trainer has gotten my waist down to 25" to give the illusion of wider shoulders but I think I need to get more lines in my back. Any suggestions? I have attached my pic so let me know what you think.

Ladies please post you pics here. I am hoping that this will bring in some of the ladies from the female BB section too. Ladies, you do not HAVE to be over 35 to post here. Feel free to join in with the over 30 ladies and find this a safe haven to receive praise for your work and suggestions for improvement tempered with compliments.

If anyone gives you a hard time, you let ME know immediately. I WILL deal with the situation.

The pics do not have to be a BB pose, just any pic that shows off the work you've done.
Hibiscus, no excuses, we'll take the "pool sloth" shots too.

Post away............

PS: I know we will get off track here, so don't be offended when I go in and clean up the thread and dump any off-track posts. Don't worry, I'll be removing some of my own too, I'm sure.

Look great

Try "shocking" the delts to encourage growth

Try doing supersets of front, side and rear exercises highish reps and say 4 sets with a weight that you can just get the last reps out with - and use minimal rest between sets.

Burns like hell and hurts but sometimes can stimulate the growth you're after
