So at first when I took them I couldn't really see a difference from the last set (see 11 weeks out). But then I did notice my quads are starting to NOT touch together. I'm getting a slight gap between my thighs. I also think my shoulders and arms are getting super cut, and my butt looks pretty great.
But, I did some work with Mary Friday and she pointed out that now my body fat is low enough to see what "weak" areas I have. Everyone has them, by the way!!! For me, it is my hamstrings and my rear delts. The hamstring problem is best seen in my side view. My quads have a perfect swoop in the front and my booty does something very similar. but my hamstrings don't curve out very much. And they are almost flat as they meet my ass. This needs major work so I'm going to work hamstrings twice a week now.
As for rear delts that may be harder to see in the photos above. These are best seen in the back photo and side photo. You can see how ripped my shoulders are getting from the side, but towards the back they aren't as ripped. That is the rear delt issue. So these will now get worked on shoulder day and back day. I'm going to push it really hard.
Mary said it is still possible to get them worked up in 9 more weeks, so I'm going to push it as hard as I can.
Workouts are really intense now, but I'm not as hungry anymore and I have been feeling pretty good. Just excited that everything is really coming together. The next 9 weeks will be tougher than ever, but I'm really excited to see what else I can do to my body. I also am getting more and more confident that I can maintain this level of fitness as long as I work with my trainers/coaches on getting cardio to a manageable level of maintenance (I'm hoping for about 4 hours a week instead of the current 7).
I also always love when i meet with Mary. She makes me feel really excited about my progress. She told me that my skin has really bounced back from losing the 34 pounds that I've lost. Said that I should be very excited about my transformation. I even met a girl doing my same show and that girl told me that Mary told her all about me and that I had transformed myself! WOW! I can't believe a bodybuilder like Mary was excited for me and telling another figure competitor about me!
Oh, and one another note....I was posing in the gym in my bikini and heels for all the world to see....Stage Fright? Hopefully not at this point!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
