So, I had posted some of my art in Muscular Women art and mentioned I was training, cpbell0033944 suggested I post a little about my muscle-building progress. So blame him!
My StoryI'm 25 and live in Canada. Last summer I began to work out for the first time. And by the first time, I mean like the first time EVER! All my life I have never been the athletic type. In school I was always the worst kid in Phys. Ed., always last in races, the worst player on the team, the weakest kid there. When I got older, I gained weight and while I can't say I ever hated my body, I just wasn't happy with it. Originally I started to work out in addition to dieting just to lose weight and get all hot, but I became friends with a guy who loved muscle girls and he encouraged me to do strength-training as well. So, in addition to time on the bike and DDR(haha... so geekish), I started to lift weights. I started doing some curls with 5 pound weights and in a few short months I was able to do a few short sets of 30lb bicep curls!
That was back in March, but since then I have been moving around the country a lot and haven't really had access to weights to work out with, so I've had to take a short break from bodybuilding. In the meantime, I've been doing more cardio to burn this extra fat off. I'm planning on moving to Montreal shortly (want to get another job in the video game industry) and when I get there, one of the first things I will do is join a gym!

http://i36.tinypic.com/2rdzuxy.jpgI was making progress at this point though you can't tell yet. I don't really know why I posted this, but I think I looked cute. I would love to wear a skimpier version of this costume when I get sexier.
I took these pictures today! I like them
I dunno, maybe it's not much compared to what you guys usually see around here, but I'm still a work in progress!
You can see some definition in there, but my muscles have been bigger and nicer than this! Unfortunately it's been months since I worked out regularly... moving all over the place, my life is sorta upside down. Once I get access to a gym, I really want to try this workout:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/berardi12.htmI think I can go a lot farther. In fact I KNOW I can, and I can't wait to see what this body has in store as I continue pushing it to its limits! I'm so excited when I think of all the potential this body has already shown me, and what's possible! I wonder how big my muscles can get? How strong and powerful? How fit and amazing can I be? Just thinking about it gets me so fired up! Ahehe *cough* sorry... I'm starting to ramble. ^^;
Well, hope you enjoy. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I will post more pictures as my body gets better and better-looking. I'm off to work out now!
