  • Have you looked at any protein isolates? Since they're super filtered, they don't have as much fat or carbs as other protein powders and might fit into your calorie limit a little better.
  • I've been doing a bulk (first one ever) for about the last 7 weeks and it seems to be working pretty well for me. I'm gaining about a pound a week or so and losing inches everywhere.
  • I'm 23 and in my first year out. I'm working part-time, but until I get a career job I have more time to work on myself. I started LDNM'S bikini guide v.3 about 6 weeks ago. It's a really fun lifting plan that has been really good for me: it encourages free weight lifting and has made it much easier to strength train and…
  • I think seeing the progress just takes time. I'm not all that heavy but even though I'm measuring 3 inches smaller in my waist and hips, I can't tell the difference between my check-in pictures and my starting pictures. So for me, I just have to accept that everything is working because I can feel and quantify my progress,…
  • Really enjoying watching your progress. It's similar to what I'm doing. It's nice seeing supportive and helpful comments from everyone as well. Keep up the good work! Congrats on making the first part of your goal!

  • Can I add you? I'm 23, focused on building muscle over losing weight and seriously interested in competition as well (though I am at least a year and a half behind the point where I could consider looking into competing). Currently I have a too high % body fat but am gaining about 1.5lbs of muscle a week and…
  • Same! Getting ready for a wedding in October 2016 and hopefully a baby soon after. My goal is 40lbs down by next october, but right now I'm working on putting on muscle. Hoping to be close enough to goal shape in december to start trying on dresses!
  • There are a few other women at the gym that I go to now, but there weren't always. The first time I started lifting it was a little intimidating, but I've found that having a plan helps a lot. If I always go in knowing which exercises I'll be doing with free weights, I feel less like I'm just a guest in the area and more…
