Hibiscus09's Competition Progress Pics Thread

hibiscus09 · 05-21-2005, 02:10 PM

Okay, I'll start keeping a thread with progress pics as I go along preparing for my Masters Figure competitions. This first set is 11 weeks out from my first contest and 14 weeks out from my second. I'm 13.9% bodyfat and 124.5lbs. I'm smooth in the abs because I've been low carbing it for 3 weeks

. They'll come back out when I get carbs again. I also can't spread my lats very well. I'm told they are there so I'll keep practicing. :p

I threw in a couple of extra just for fun pics, because I like taking those better! LOL

Hib,

You're looking great!
Fantastic shape for 11+ weeks out.

I'm glad you finally posted pics! I can't wait to actually be able to "see" your progress!

Thanks, EME!! I appreciate the encouragement!

**johnsbod** · 05-21-2005, 10:59 PM

You're looking great, and your back definition is already looking good. Good luck in the competition.

hibiscus09 · 05-22-2005, 01:36 AM

Thanks so much, Johnsbod! It's hard to get an old body into shape. LOL

**The Chosen One** · 05-22-2005, 03:33 AM

How old are you? You look excellent! Can't wait to see some progression myself.

hibiscus09 · 05-22-2005, 01:52 PM

Thanks so much, Luke! I'm 43 now and will turn 44 on September 5th -- about 2 weeks after my second contest. It's my way of celebrating. LOL

**ravadongon** · 05-22-2005, 01:56 PM

Crap!

You look exactly like my English teacher!

You're definitely in very good shape...Are you really a newbie?

Looking FANTASTIC hibby! You seriously could pass for 29. Just goes to show how benificial diet and exercise can be in keeping you young looking.

hibiscus09 · 05-23-2005, 01:43 AM

Awww, thanks DarkFalcon! That made me smile!

Thanks, LoveThyPain!

Thanks to you also, Gappa!!

**The Chosen One** · 05-23-2005, 02:05 AM

Agreed totally with DarkFalcon, you look amazing and very attractive even compaired to a 21 year old female, great achievement so far.

EDIT: Changed my wording slightly, came out wrong at first.

**builtbeast** · 05-23-2005, 05:26 AM

Looking really good hibby. Like the fun pics.

hibiscus09 · 05-23-2005, 11:36 AM

Thanks so much Luke and builtbeast -- you guys are sweet and it's great to get encouragement from others as I deny myself wine and hot fudge sundaes!
