Fam is a total hottie! Nice. If you're taking requests I'd like your next progress pic to be you doing overhead squats. they look like this:  Picture taken from the front or behind, your choice. The fewer clothes you wear the better of course! |

We're supposed to keep it PG 13. Maybe a sports bra and short shorts? Bikini top and yoga pants?

Thanks. Uh Dark Honor, you do know that if I tried to lift that much weight it would kill me, right?  |

Those are bumper plates. They're all the same diameter, even the 5 and 10 pound ones. She's probably not actually lifting 135 in that pic.
Then again... her arms look bigger than mine... maybe she is.

LOL, her arms look bigger than mine too!  FWIW, I primarily use machines. Free weights have a higher risk of injury, especially if you don't have good form, and also I haven't had a regular workout partner in 5 years to spot me. |

I'm only using free weights, because I'm too cheap to buy a decent home gym machine. I force the wife to spot me when I need it. I'm hoping she'll just start working out with me, but I have to wait for the tendinitis in her arm to go away first.

You should be careful Dark. I would offer to spot you, but I don't think I would be much help. My husband goes to a gym and uses both machines and free weights, but he has a workout partner to spot him. |

I'm pretty careful, and I lift on a platform so I can always the bar if I need too. I do my squats in the rack and I use the catch pins, so if I have to I can the bar there too. The only time I get nervous is doing bench presses and those are what Loop spots if I need it.

Optimist! I didn't know you practiced martial arts! I used to practice Tae Kwon Do and my feet and hands were registered. But now I couldn't knock over a flower vase without losing my balance. LOL! I don't practice as much as I used to, but I always need to be careful. Years ago I had a boyfriend who had studied martial arts for years and was teaching a class at the time. It never occurred to me that goofing around and sparring that I could hurt him. Oops. |

It's probably as tough for guys as for women to be compared with the posters who have so far been brave enough to post photos.
I have to say though that everyone was very encouraging of azphx, whereas fam got some praise but also an offer of an exercise program to help her tone up and improve her figure, which surprised me as I thought she looked great!

I would post a pic, but with my Ferris Beuler good looks and my Situation-like ripped bod , I would be setting the bar too high for everyone else and i just couldn't live with that.

A results thread ins't a place to just post pics and say how great one looks. Az posted that his goal was to maintain what he has and he didn't say he was having any problems doing so. Had he posted my goal is to get bigger or I want bigger abs etc I would have said something. Fam said her goal was to tone up so she got advice. I posted my goals and if someone had advice I'd be a fool not to at least read it. If she didn't want input why would she post a picture?
And by you saying "I think she looks great!" Why don't you go back and read the first thing I said to her. If you're not looking to improve what are you even doing in this forum?

LOL azphx! I guess you are more considerate than me because he's not getting any karma from me for that! Woa, Dr.Pig! I'm fine with your advice! Just sit back and flex your muscles and you'll feel better. |

I'm considering posting a before pic (after all, I've only been doing this 4 days now)....but I got to find a camera that won't break first. Maybe I still will......while I am over-weight, I've had many people tell me that I carry the weight well and they wouldn't guess that I weigh as much as I do. Maybe they're just being nice. |

I'm fine with your advice! I think he was having a go at me, not you fam. Dr Pig, I wasn't meaning to offend you, and I know you said nice things about fam too. The only point I was trying to make was that it makes it more intimidating for people with regular bodies to post their photos for criticism, when even people with great figures are getting improvement advice. I guess I best just shut up then  |

Just remember your after pic will look far more impressive if your before pic is horrible. I'm tempted to go find a picture of a big fat guy to use as my before pic so that it looks like I've accomplished a lot already.

Don't worry - my before pic will definitely be horrible. You can't disguise 5'6" and 210 pounds as "In Shape" - maybe shapely, but not in shape.
