'Non-Mirror' Muscle showdown from the ladies.

Ok, these are my first pics to post, so please be nice :blushing:

@Milica and @PetreeBird: Looking good. Nice backs! And the same to all the ladies that posted!!

@mandasimba You should be more than mildly proud :happy: I don't really see the flab you are referring to but you're shoulders do have some strength behind them. I trick that I use to focus on tightening up is all in the mind. I think of my body as a furnance...sounds weird but it helps. The harder I work the hotter the furnace burns.

There is no science behind it, but I believe in positive motivational thought.

love this!

There are some very sexy ladies on MFP and I just want to thank each and every one of you for sharing your beautiful muscles

@SergeantSunshine You're definitely puttin work. Thank you for contributing to this thread. I checked your profile and bonus points for imiplementing squats into your rountine.

Question for you since you are studying nutrition. What is the best macronutrient ratio? I am trying to follow:

45% CARB
30% PROTEIN
25% FAT

Thanks! Squats/deads are my favorites. Been really focusing on my back lately since it feels a bit too bony hehe

Percentages are going to vary depending on calorie goal, so not really the best thing to go buy :] Rather grams.

1g of protein per pound of LBM
.35x body weight for fats
Rest in carbs, or combination of the three :]

Thanks for the insight. I have been adhering to the 1g per pound mantra as well. The info fats is new to me and will definitely take into advisement. Right now eating enought carbs seems to be struggle. My mind changes from wanting to bulk up and gain weight or try to live it lean and mean.

I'm having the same issue heh xD
Lean and mean for summer, and bulking in the fall

Still a working progress and the first photo Ive posted...on week 6 of p90x...Hopefully at the end of the program it will be WAY more muscley.

Yes, I am not a woman posting this, but since I have participated in a few 'V Threads" I think I can ask for a shamelss thrread of my own.

We all go to the gym, workout at home, jog outside, etc. This your time to show off, specifically looking to see the 'Non'Mirror' muscles.

Let's get arrogant...lets see those sculped backs ladies. There is no shame in in showing off what you have been working hard on.

You should start another thread encouraging guys to do the same thing!

We could always combine them?

I'll start:

WOW Thistimeismytime.....what an incredible transformation. You look amazing
