    Most of my lifts are in the intermediate/advanced ranges for my weight class. Bench is lagging behind, almost to intermediate, because of my surgical history, but it's catching up.

    here's one of me with enormous delts and biceps

    and here's one of my bulky man-physique

    You have a very pretty body. I'm interested to see how you look after a few more months of lifting.

    Thank you. :flowerforyou:

    Edit: I just read the post about "please don't post pics of yourself flexing because it will scare girls who don't want to get bulky" so sorry if my offensively huuuuuge muscles scare anyone away :wink:

    Wow, you have made an incredible change to your body!! Great job!

    I'm really looking forward to it, as well. You are already so beautiful, it's going to be wonderful to see where lifting will take you.

    I don't lift as heavy as some of the awesome ladies on here YET...but I'm working on it. I don't think I look bulky.

    Some recent bikini pics, all taken after I started lifting..

    My results aren't nearly as amazing as most of these ladies, but I've been lifting heavy for about two months. It's not drastic, but there's definitely more tightness and definition.

    *sooo glad I decided to do my lifting this morning even though I knew I'd be going on a hike*

    Good Lord, I hope I look like ANY one of you, in a year! :drinker:

    You girls all look absolutely stunning! I really want to get into heavy lifting, but not sure where to start. I can't pay for a gym membership at the moment. :(

    I can't do a gym either.....I just can't get away from home with three small kids after working all day! I bought some equipment off Craigslist and am currently doing stronglifts. It's been a pretty good compromise :)

    I just started Stronglifts 5x5 on 07/01 but had been lifting for awhile. I don't have any pics to post here, but you can see in my comparison pics on my profile that I was clearly MUCH bulkier before.

    P.S. these are my FAVORITE threads!!!! You lovely lifting ladies are so inspiring!!!! Gorgeous!!!!

    You can do a fair amount of New Rules of Lifting for Women at home. Just buy 2nd hand equipment and make sure you book yourself a time in your day for your workout - don't try to fit it in, fit other stuff around it - it's worth it!
