    I may have more muscle definition than a lot of people like - and that is fine - everyone is 100% entitled to their preferences, however, you do not start lifting weights and suddenly get muscular.

    You're actually very lean! I just have more muscle volume in my abs. That's about the only difference. You look amazing!

    may I ask what BF percentage you are at in these pictures? if you don't mind sharing? :)

    OK so how wrong is it that I just keep staring at these pics? Sarah was one of the first people I requested because her journey was a major inspiration, I also am proud to admit I manage not to creep her profile.....but these dang pictures...now I keep creeping my own thread :noway:

    I love all the pics and responses, I am also very glad to know I am not alone with the obsessive flexing :drinker:

    Muah!!!

    So I am well aware women getting bulky by lifting does not happen, but I wanted to see if any women who lift......Get a kick out of flexing, especially after a workout. I will not get bulky by lifting, but with the swelling from a workout; I enjoy making certain muscles flex and feeling like a bada$$. Example after squats, making my quad pop out to the side and looking like I could drop kick anyone.

    I completely enjoy the feeling of looking thinner and not bulky but on command can now pop a bicep up, flex my back or make more lines in my legs than I even knew I had muscles. The butt sitting higher is a major plus too. Now I just have to get the tricep to play along.

    I know some women worry about being bulky, this will NOT happen without testosterone and much more work than most are willing to do. I just wanted to see if any other women were as goofy as I am and like feeling like a bada$$ with their new found muscles.

    Guys feel free to reply, I know many of you love playing the flexing game too :love:

    Well I did my 5x5's yesterday and afterword I felt like the f***ing terminator.

    I hear you. I haven't been able to do much lifting through this pregnancy (Doctor said it was okay as long as I felt well enough, but I haven't felt well enough/had enough energy many days :sad:). But I can't wait until I can get back into the gym and start getting myself looking too hot for a mom of 5 :laugh:

    I find that there isint a mirror i pass with out at least taking a peek. Maybe not a full flex but i like to see something showing lol

    Also, i just learned how to " bounce" my pecs like a guy does and so im always doing that LOL stupid i know but funny that my pecs have the muscle to do it.

    I love to see the fruits ( muscles) of my hard work especially after a pump.

    I still have a lot of body fat (A LOT), but I'm in the middle of NRWLFW, and am starting to build a lot of muscle under the fat (now if I could only get my eating in order...), ANYWAYS, I started to wear sleeveless tanks to the gym because I LOVE the way my shoulders look on the rows/presses, and I frequently flex my abs in the mirror. All it really does is make the belly fat go from droopy to not droopy, but it's still pretty fun for a fat person to see that.

    USMC (maybe I got that wrong) but you make me drool in a purely heterosexual way! You are hotness defined!

    She makes me drool in a purely homosexual way.
