Same here Pammie, I am having a Blast with my workouts and I am getting wierd stares form the guys at the gym, since the gals here are mostly Aerobic chicks

They just cannot believe that there actually are girls that like to lift.
This one guy just got done with the Leg Press and gave me a wierd look in disbelieve that I didn't change the weight after he got off and did mine with the same weight without a problem LOL He was baffled.

I'm already looking to order bigger shirts and smaller waist pants

~~2Ripped4U~~ · 04-20-2006, 11:30 PM

Today: crap, I did get a chance to eat until 3:30 pm, which means I'm not workingout today.

JJ_Sungirl · 04-21-2006, 12:37 AM

Feeling great and looking forward to seeing everyone's progress pics month by month. I'm training my heart out and expect to see great results. :fingersxd So far, no slumps or times of complacency. I am hard wired for this competition. WOOHO!!!:evil5:

Arghlita · 04-21-2006, 05:51 AM

Well, everyone in my gym has sort of sat up and taken interest. I've been there a few times per week every week since November, but I was training for a half marathon because I was so sickly and out of shape that long walks were taxing. And now I'm in there 5-6 days per week for at least an hour - all the trainers say hi and a few are asking about my progress.

I'm not outlifting any guys, and my weight is coming off slower than I would like because I'm at about 85-90% on the diet rather than 100% - but I know that every week I'm improving. This evening when I got home from the gym and was changing, I could literally *see* the difference in the mirror. I can't wait to post pics... I'm starting behind a lot of y'all but that just gives me more room to improve! :P

SAME! I've been fine for so long and then all of a sudden this morning, right before a final, I find that I haven't slept at all and my eyes are like practically crusted shut. Spring allergies hit me right off my feet. I just sneeze and my eyes get super red, itchy and eventually painful.

So I walk and finally find some allergy pill and then figure that this unopened ephedrine I have is an antihystimine too, so I take that not even thinking that it'll ruin the rest of my sleep before my final...

Whatever, the final went well and I set a new PR in bench. Good day.

But I'm feeling great 20 days in, still bulking until the end of this month.

I've cleaned up my bulking diet a bit through except for liquor on the weekends. Come May 1st I might actually be able to make it 12 weeks without liquor while I aggressively cut.

TKL · 04-26-2006, 01:28 AM

not too bad, I haven't worked out since april 6th I believe, and im going to mexico in 4 days. but im in exams right now (1st year of engineering) and im totally getting beat down, but I think my marks will be ok. after that I have a solid 4 months of lifting.

despite not working out, my body hasn't changed too much, weight still the same, im eating at maintainence right now.

vadox6466 · 04-26-2006, 05:37 AM

not so well. I've missed a bunch of workouts this month because I got sick at the very start, and now I got sick again. In between I was on a trip for four days, couldn't workout.

My weights going down, but how much of it is muscle? I can't spare any muscle right now

On a side note, I'm happy (mostly) everyone else is steadily progressing

Way to go guys and gals!

pammiejoe6 · 04-26-2006, 02:26 PM

theres just a few days left to this month guys! im still feeling great! how kewl!

~~2Ripped4U~~ · 04-26-2006, 02:34 PM

I feel trippy...

Master Of Puppets · 04-26-2006, 03:13 PM

I missed like a week of workouts hahaha. I gotta be more consistant.

MOP

miezimau · 04-26-2006, 03:30 PM

just missed maybe 3 workouts this month. Feeling a little sluggish today and sniffles, so I will just do some Cardio.

**madman911** · 04-26-2006, 06:23 PM

I'm kicking ass...

I weighed around 190 on March 20th and I'm now down to 180 as of today. That's 10 pounds in 5 weeks... sweet. Vascularity is slowly starting to creep down my forearms... I love to seeing the veins protruding just a little more each day. Lean mass is maintaining nicely, I've lost a little bit of fullness, which always happens on a cut. Stamina took a nosedive this week, most likely because I took a week off of training to let my poor body have a much needed rest. I don't like taking time off during a cut, as even one missed workout can result in strength loss, but I decided it was for the best. Hopefully my stamina will come back after the shock my body is receiving from this week of training... the DOMS is insane this week. I was feeling pretty buff when I looked in the mirror at the gym today -- probably just the endorphins clouding my vision.

Unfortunately, I'm developing a new problem. My right wrist is barking a little bit. It's not real bad, and not effecting my lifts, but its there. I'm considering getting a wrist support so I can hopefully avoid it getting any worse.

I can't wait to take my May pics and to see everyone else's. Go team IronMass!!!!

Crobar · 04-26-2006, 06:30 PM

I am doing dandy. Feeling leaner and more energized but my sleeping is crap lately. Been falling asleep at 11pm or 12am and had to skip am cardio in order to get more rest. Not much in the weight loss department though. We will see how it all comes together at the end of the week. I feel like my waist is getting much smaller and back has gotten wider/thicker. Kickin butt at the gym broke my squat pr to 315 x 5 yesterday and no soreness at all. Did not do shoulders yesterday due to a sharp pain on my right shoulder. But its all part of the game. And...I need another weekend job!

pammiejoe6 · 04-27-2006, 01:20 PM

hey crobar watch that shoulder dude...do you do any rc stuff on it?
