What kind of program are you doing? Do you warm up or go straight to the weight you're going to do? I doubt arm length would be a problem. Is it where you're laying the bar or a flexbility problem? What kind of pain? Like a something is digging into me pain, a things are stretched to far pain, or a particular body feels…

120lbs? Holy cow! And you're looking fantastic!

Also a good one.

Seriously, this. A little bit of good lighting and the right camera/photographer can make us all feel better about ourselves lol.

This wins so far. Now that is something that hits the spot.

Lift heavy. The one thing that has given me the greatest benefit aesthetically, emotionally, and health wise, more then losing weight, cardio, or eating healthy, is lifting heavy. Even though it wasn't my thing at first and I was the dancer girl who wanted nothing to do with lifting because I didn't have a clue how and…

Thanks for 'weighing' in heybales. I always appreciate your insightful input. I wish I had that brain of yours about these topics sometimes. Yep! Don't mistake that for intake though. What you put in your body doesn't necessarily reflect what your body turns into. Fat is still important for the diet. And it makes things…

I second the bulk (with heavy lifting) then cut (with heavy lifting) thing. I was stuck in the same situation and was a dancer girl not interested in weights (many misconceptions I fell for). I ended up 5'8, 118lbs, underweight, squishy gut. Heavy lifting can make all the difference in the world. I have comparison pics of…

That's fantastic! Thanks for the idea!

Looks like I missed a clearing. That's to bad I wanna know what happened :P lol stating scientific study and then quoting a blog from magazines who put out "look like this dude" workouts...chances are people aren't going to click because they're not counting on the sound science of "look at this dude" workout magazine…
-
Good point. I believe many people here think the girls with the flex photos are bulky because they haven't taken a picture of themselves flexed. And if you extend and do a stretch you are back to "long and lean" lol. It's funny because that happened to me in a thread because I didn't post flex photos I did dancer poses.…

Lol! The more you know *giggle fart*

Are you sure you are not mistaking that for someone who easily shows each individual stomach muscle? Some people can lift for years and show none even at low body fat. And some are blessed with good genetics and get defined abs at higher bf percentages and we all curse them while the cardio bunnies whisper about how bulky…
-
The thing is, it probably is for them and if they continued the routine for a while they'll see...they are getting nowhere lol. I was a skeptic who wanted to slim down when I was underweight, and I see many girls on this forum who are into that scenario and claim they want to firm up and flatten their stomachs. I wish I…

in for not wanting to be a strong woman because DVDs make my man muscles bulky and gross 'cause I carry them in one hand
-
I've yet to see any manly arm and leg pics unfortunately. Be prepared to be disappointed with the lack of magic.
-
Yeah I know a few people who have told me they juice. All bodybuilders/personal trainers minus one. They know me, I'm pretty open minded to things, and spent a little to much time around that group to the point that I walked into one of their houses (some of them lived together) and they were sitting there with far to much…

Every person I know of who got all roids don't make you rage I've seen get punch holes in things roid ragey so I find it hard to listen to these things. Particularly since you started the roids don't cause rage topic after you got mad...not saying it's not true but....not helping your case and not my experience.

kinesiology tape...never heard of it, sounds fancy! What's it usually for?
-
I picked those words because I did not want to say: that's about staying the same weight and losing fat and gaining muscle, not losing weight and losing fat and gaining muscles....wordy. The question in that article was about staying the same weight. And nowhere did it mention growth in body size. And that's not the…

Yeah this thread is starting to look like http://cadoges.squarespace.com/storage/bull****%20bridge%202.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1333151713928 replace stars with guess

I have the same problem with my arms but it's more because my arms have fat on them
-
Unflattering light, NO change in weight, size went down, I prefer the more muscley version since my bra stopped showing off my shoulder flab:
-
LOL you know way more about being a girl then I do. You're way better then the engineering girl who sat next to me stretching in dance class and whispers "Whats on her fingernails" *detailed pictures* reply: "Nailpolish?" At least I'm doing better then her lol.

People carry fat in different places. Having low fat somewhere or high fat somewhere doesn't mean you put on muscles easy. And by the sounds of it you have weight to lose, what you are seeing on top is likely 'bulk' from fat. Pics could help confirm. And the dolls you're comparing yourself to are called Brats lol.
-
They are different, and not equal at all. Just look at the people who have went down in size and are lifting significantly more weight then they could over the span of years. It's more to do with your muscles learning what order to fire, not making them bigger. That's why you can get tremendously skinny dudes at the gym…

Spout that bull!
-
Here iron is, giving us the skinny on things...and here jax is, getting mad about it lol.

Arm progress is hard to see in the stance that you're in. I suggest taking a few progress pictures in different stances, flexed. Back flex, front flex, and make sure you can see your legs. You may want to take some scantily clad ones so you can see differences in your butt etc to keep for yourself. From the same angle, so…
