This. Don't compare yourself to anyone online as you are setting yourself up for failure. They don't look like that in person (lol). And as Peleroja said, they are definitely enhanced. Can you build curves with weights? Absolutely. I'm barely 5'1 (legit if that haha) and I like to think I've built curves despite being…

I can't arch when I bench. I've tried and tried. Ed Coan himself has tried to give me pointers and my body refuses to comply. Haha

Front squats are stupid. Okay okay maaaaaybe they're not stupid but I personally am just not good at them. My wrists do not like being bent like that and if I cross my arms the bar hurts my front delts. I did standing barbell press 115lbs for reps and was shocked.

Talented, holy crap.

I feel like kitten. Haha I love MFP. Well I hit 420 clean and failed at 430 on deads. Can't say im not bummed but I have to remember that 420 is more than most men cam dead. Haha TGIF

Killed it!!! Today is my deadlift day. I feel like *kitten* but we shall see if a PR is going down today.

In my personal opinion, from my own personal experience you're doing too much cardio. Now before anyone jumps on me I want to reiterate this is my own experience. I have lost 163lbs in almost a years time from exclusive lifting and diet. My strength has consistently gone up during this time and only recently have my lifts…

Isolation movements I would assume but please don't think that by your traps getting attention they're going to suddenly get big and freaky. You have to earn traps, lol. But seriously, don't worry about it. Again you are a woman and you will not get big bulky traps - naturally.

Well foremost is if you are seeing results. PT is expensive. Ive known good and bad trainers alike. May I ask which gym you go to? (Just curious, not exactly relevant) If you have certain types of health insurance, they pay for your gym membership and training.

Not my all-time best, but alas the current best at 181lbs Dead 410lbs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2KSFu-Jlxw Squat 335lbs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bymyfOYmLm0

Hmmm. Chocolate depends on the day and there should be either mint or bacon involved there somewhere. I'm not a fan of cardio so maybe a short walk to the pizza place? :D

If anyone is curious - I am 5'2 ish lol and 25 and a natural blonde :D

Hi everyone and thanks for the compliments on my lifts!! Weight fluctuates between 181 and 183 throughout the day and I am still consistently losing, to date I have lost 163lbs and have been training almost a year. Oh and yes I am in fact a woman. Haha Heres some of this week's lifts - dead was a grinder and got slowed…

Me too! Currently I can bench 225, squat 335 (maxed at 365 around 50lbs ago haha) and deadlift 410 (maxed at 425 again I was like 50lbs heavier as well). I'm trying to post on Instagram more but I just started using it lol

It all depends on the person. I started my journey nearly one year ago and have lost almost 165lbs with diet and weights. I have not hit a plateau and have consistently lost several pounds a week. When I first started losing people here actually mocked me ans told me it was too fast and how I would gain it all back and…

I'm about 5'1/5'2 currently weigh 181lbs and wear a 7 or 9US depending on brand.

Not sure why my post added all of that and not what i actually wrote lol but okay! So anyway, this was 410 for a grinder a few months ago. Last Friday I hit 415 clean so hopefully I will have more to contribute then. 425 was my max but I was significantly heavier. I am currently 181lbs. This week I hit 225 for a single…

I'm going with the majority in this, my bench is my worst lift. On Monday I was able to hit 225 for a solid single though - not gad fir a 181lb girl haha

I FINALLY weigh less than what my license says!

LOL they are starting to be too big... I feel like I have zero symmetry haha

Ohhhhhh the complete Oxford English Dictionary AND a bald eagle!!

160lbs difference!

SW 345 GW Unsure. Probably 140 or so, I carry a lot of muscle mass so I don't want to compromise much muscle for being thinner. CW 181 Competitive powerlifter now! Just under one year of only diet and strength training. Oh and I am 5'1

I'm 5'1 and have lost weight since I last posted - SW 342? In a size 32 plus CW 194 and a size 9/10 My waist is 29in but my hips are still 36 or so

I promise you that hard work will eventually pay off. Stay consistent and love yourself through every phase of the process and you will succeed. <3 You can follow my progress on IG now too! Mandylifts

You have been here since basically the beginning and continually inspire me!!

Thanks so much everyone for your kind words!! Continuing to lose weight and inches. The photo is March 2016 to now. With hard work and dedication, ANYTHING is possible. I am going through and responding to everyone's messages. Please bear with me as I really do take the time to reply with as much info and support as I can.…

^^^ spot on. I do zero cardio and have lost all of my weight exclusively weight training. My quads are 26in and my waist is 30in but these hips... Oh lord. Haha
