Simpy's Figure July Update Pics

Simpy · 07-08-2007, 05:17 PM

Okay, here they are. I have been very frustrated with my progress, but after rechecking my newest pictures and comparing them to my June pics, I've made a lot of changes. :orange: Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near where I need to be for 7 weeks out. I've slightly changed my diet from some red meat to all white meat. Also, starting today, I'm going to 7 cardio sessions per week. Two will be from the class that I teach, three will be high-intensity sprints and stepmill, and two will be low intensity, longer duration. It's gonna suck because I mostly hate cardio. If that doesn't work, I'll head to two a days, which makes me sick to think about.

My printer's on the blink. It keeps eating paper, so I wrote out the date and some major headlines on a white sheet of paper. Sorry about that. It's the best I could do for last minute.

Finally, my son is facinated with the smilies, so I'll be adding a bunch of random ones to this post just to please him. Please ignore. :mango:

well, if you are ever in Kansas City, I would train shoulders with ya. That is my favorite bodypart to work! All my clients scream in pain that day. lol

Look up videos by Charles Glass ( sadly the best one is at bb.com ) and watch the shoulder routine he uses... trust me, it works VERY well.

You're looking fantastic, Leah! You really do have such a nice X-frame and that's so important for figure contests. Your shoulders look awesome, your waist is looking small and your quads are nice and muscular! Great work! :clapping:

Alright, Leah. I'm trying desperately to come up with some useful critique. You do look fantastic, and there is some great progress from last month. Your quads are definitely world class. Your hammies are great. Your arms and front delts show amazing separation, especially considering how far out you are still. If I was to try (desperately) to pick areas that seemed to be a bit behind the pace of the rest of you, I would say rear delts and calves. Calves are tricky to bring out when your legs are 50 feet long, and I'm sure that they'll continue to progress quickly as the dieting continues to tighten. I know you've had some nagging shoulder problems, so I hope you are able to be well enough to continue to hit them hard.

Definitely some great work (as expected) in here. I'm looking forward to this little competition heating up now that I finally get to start pulling some of this fat off...

I think you are looking good. Your waist looks really tiny. The slight adjustments that your coach made will drastically change your next pictures.
