You got this!

Dude!!! Your back... swoooon!

Doing great! Nice job on delt growth. Can't wait for mine!

Agreed, you're doing great!

Great job so far!! That reminds me that I need to look into a Fitbit!

No worries- I think it's pretty normal. I'm progressing on my lifts as well and I'm *slightly* sore for a few hours after, then nothing. The only time I ever really got DOMS was back in the days of doing one of those dumb "lift this 3lb dumbbell 400 times" videos. :)

In to the second week of my bulk. I'm struggling to eat all my calories while staying in the macro range I've set. I could easily eat it in all fat!! ;) Haven't gained yet but I swear my body is changing so quickly! All of a sudden I have a butt! Like, a real butt- not a slope into my thighs! It feels like it showed up…

:laugh: Yeaaaaaahhhh... I can't imagine I could stick to it for real. I am also much hungrier on rest days. I basically want to eat all the foods forever after legs.

Dude. Join the club. I'm having twins today. Sure of it!

I'll take not having to wear a supportive bra any day! What little I have sits high thanks to bench. That's good enough for me. Husband is a booty lova as it is. Now, that I've got! THANK YOU ATG SQUATS! :D

Glad you mentioned that you change up your intake on non-lifting days. I have been debating whether or not to do this myself. I'm curious how many other ladies are doing this. Off to troll everyone's log... :)

Aww, that sucks. Unfortunately, I think because it's not as common for women to want to reach the level past "bikini", these guys try to cater more towards that crowd as to not scare off their clientele. My sister is in the fitness industry and has been coaching for years. She adheres to the same hogwash- gave me a…

Thanks! My husband is a professional guitar player and has dealt with something similar. He has a nifty brace he is letting my sport around that should help a bit. I look like a dork, but I will take dork over non-functioning left arm!

Ouchie! Hope your quad heals up soon! I have my macros set at 1.25-1.5/body weight for protein, trying to keep fat at 25% although, I've been hovering around 28% this last week- and the rest in carbs! Well, I unofficially started my bulk yesterday. Got the super munchies from Leg day...what can I say ;) So- it's begun! I…

It appears I did something stupid while lifting yesterday! My left arm has been buzzing/tingling and portions of it have gone numb for the last 12 hours or so. Kept me up throughout the night! I played around on different bodybuilding forums, google & webMD (because, you know- THAT is always a good idea...) and I keep…

Millions of reasons I am bulking! The top 5 in no specific order being... 1. After I dieted down to my goal weight, I realized that all the running & yoga I was doing didn't really build a solid muscular foundation, so I looked like a lollipop at goal weight! 2. I want my inside to match my outside! Although I might look…

Ooooh, I've had my eyes on the chocolate peanut butter cup flavor! I know this is a silly question, but do you find it to taste really salty? Before this thread was started, I just ended up ordering 2lb tubs of the #1 & #2 of the top 50 protein powders on bodybuilding.com. I went with Optimum Gold Standard 100% Whey in…

Almond Butter is the devil!!! :devil: I can only buy it when I need it for a recipe that calls for the entire jar so that I don't sit around and spoon it in my mouth all day long. I am 99% sure that they forgot to list CRACK in the ingredients. :laugh:

Phew! Appears that was a temporary gain. I'm usually a once a month weigher but after seeing the gain yesterday and waking up noticeably less bloated, I jumped on the scale just to see. Back down to 121.8. That's a little better! I can tell that my biggest struggle with bulking will be mental! Having dieted down for a 15…

I'm a coffee queen- so taking a pre-workout supp would probably turn me into a crazy woman. :) Coffee does the trick! Plus, I am hyper-sensitive to most medications, I can't even take advil without feeling a buzz- what?? So, I would personally pass- but, I know plenty of people who have taken them with no problems. I also…

In to follow! Your guns makes my heart pitter patter!!!

In to follow- hear you with that water weight! Keep your head up! :)

In to follow- looking forward to hearing about your show!

In to follow!

In to follow! Your arms are killa!!

In to follow! How was your mary btw?

In to follow!

I've been hearing a lot about this lately. I will check out the article you posted. I'm in a nasty habit of eating a HUGE breakfast, a very light lunch or none at all, and a HUGE dinner. I was never good at six smaller meals. I just figured, as long as I was eating my calorie goal & hitting my macs- I'm fiiiiine. ;)

Oh my...so happy I read this NOW. Looks like I have a little more reading to do! I was working under the assumption that as long as my minimums were met, I could fill in the rest where I want. For the past few weeks, my fats tend to be around 35% and where I add in the extra cals after protein has been met for the day…

Right on! Looking forward to following your progress.
