Thanks for all the words of encouragement! Makes me feel good coming from women who know about fitness. I will be posting a back pic this afternoon for you to get a better idea of my upper body. I really appreciate all the advice about building my upper body. I did back, bi's, and abs last night and really went as heavy as I could with about 8 reps per set. I can tell a difference afterwards.....the pump is SO cool lookin' !! I will be SO happy when I get that bicep vein to poke out 24/7 !!
