I posted this in the 'Success' Forum, but I think it's relevant here.
Pre-Bulk
Post-Bulk
I would like to continue bulking for another year, but over the course of several months, I've become incredibly inspired to try powerlifting. I joined an all-women Facebook group for powerlifters and I'm so happy to see how positive they are and that there's really no 'broscience' to be found. I also took up a board position at my university's Bodybuilding and Powerlifting Organization. I decided that for now, I'm putting my goal of competing as a bodybuilder on the back burner and I'll be focusing on increasing my strength as a powerlifter. I plan on competing in a local meet in mid-Feb.
Training for bodybuilding has made me reevaluate my disordered eating habits and has given me a healthy relationship with food as well as a confidence in my body that I never had before. With this new goal in mind, I hope to develop an even better mindset-- humble (someone will ALWAYS be stronger than me), but confident in the things my body can perform.
Onto my new journey!
Hopefully you all don't mind me sticking my nose in this group even though I'm technically not bulking anymore. : P
Current Stats :
5'2"
115 lbs.
Squat 205x1, Bench 105x1, Deadlift 200x1
Goals before my first meet :
225-240 Squat
115-120 Bench
220-230 Deadlift

A little over a year. A decided to lose a bit of weight first after the first picture, so I didn't start bulking until around Oct. 2013. 0 -
Finals are kicking my butt. -sigh-
Going to take a little mental break and do some 5x5 volume later on today. I'll be deloading as well since I haven't been eating or sleeping much this week.0 -
