Looking to see some weight training before/after pics.

_AllieCat_

I'm starting weight training tomorrow, I bought a too small two piece suit and I'm going to take before pictures first thing in the morning. Anybody care to share their before and afters in relation to weight training? I don't care if you didn't lift often, I wanna see pictures for inspiration! I'm sure you guys have some hot bods out there to inspire us all.

Thank you in advance.

the BEGINING before
the before (just started weight training)
After (actually during, I will never consider myself done!)

I use the New Rules of Lifting For Woman training program, and I swear by it.

You look absolutely amazing! Such an inspiration. Your body has gone through such a transformation.

Is this a picture thread for women only?

Nope. No restrictions. Men's progress is inspiring too!

such a good idea - i have been weight training for about 3 weeks or so now, about 4 times a week, since i don't have a huge amount of weight to lose (only about 3kg) - I think the results will be quite subtle initially.... I have been thinking I should take some 'before' photos, otherwise it may be easy to think i am not getting any results..... (despite feeling stronger already!)

also - if i turn into a ripped goddess then it would be great to look at the before shots to see how far i came!!! lol

Planning to start lifting heavy too. Can't wait to see the progress pics!

ooops sorry my first time posting - when i replied to the post i didn't see any of the photos, then once i posted they all popped up!

Cheri I would love to know how much time elapsed between your weight training before photo, and the 'after' photo. you look amazing.

Oops! Sorry! That would be helpful, wouldnt it!

No joking... I started new rules of lifting for women (NROLFW) on 3-26-12 and those pictures were taken early May. (cant remember exact date.) This lifting program is SUPERIOR and delivers results. I am also training for a triathlon and half marathon but I lift 3x/week.

Ok...remember, you asked lol =p.







That's three months of strength training (and 40lbs of bodyfat), my program was 3x a week, 30-45min per session. I did almost NO other exercising, but my job is relatively active. I focused on compound exercises (exercises that focus on more than one muscle group at a time)...performing no more than five exercises per session. My format was 5x5, and I used a weight/exercise I could only perform maybe 7 reps on the first set.

Here's a few other pictures of the 'after' stage lol.

First, post workout:


And a final one, relaxed on a Sunday morning:

Just as inspiring to me as the women. You toned up amazingly well, your body changed so much. Great work

Starting out around 140-143




Work in progress... lost maybe 4 lbs, but definitely gained muscle and lost body fat... I am a believer in taking measurements not going by the scale. I also have been using NROLFW, but I do not follow it like I should.

Bumping for inspiration! Keep photos coming I'm planning to NROLFW in June

Yo're looking FAB!!! I love the way the new rules exercises work the back, my back has never looked better!
