    You look good! When I was a runner i was skinny fat too. Then I found powerlifting and kbells! Awesome to hear about females not afraid to put on the muscle. Look forward to hearing more about your journey!!!

    I was the typical skinny-fat. I looked okay in clothes, but I wasn't happy. I started a new relationship and I wanted to not feel so insecure with my body around him. He showed me a couple upper body exercises and I loved how strong/sore the weights made me feel. I did some research, some trial and error and came up with a routine that I liked. Fast forward to now, I feel stronger than ever!

    I'm currently on a bulk, so I'm in the process on gaining some muscle/fat before I cut down some fat for a competition. I plan on competing in a bikini comp after a couple years of bulking. Wish me luck! Bulking is such a taxing mental game.

    Here's my progress so far.


    DAYUM!!!!
    Looking good girl, keep it up.:love::love: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    You are right up the road from me....

    This is so inspirational! You look amazing and wow your legs! I'm almost 2 months into my bulk. I'm 5'2" also but started at 98-99lbs. I've gained about 2.5lbs so far and I'm already seeing some muscle gains! I've been wanting to see more success stories and pics like this! Thanks so much for sharing!

    I actually wanted to try my hand at powerlifting! Strong woman are so inspirational.
    My bench and deadlift are far too weak though. Lol.

    Nice muscly legs. Hard work paid off.

    I'm confused/have a question. What kind of bikini contest requires you to bulk up from your current size?
