I said I wasn't going to get much bigger

[Gladiola]

I had photos taken & got the contact sheet. (Waiting on the prints, I will post them when I get them).

My boyfriend looked at them & reminded me that 6 months ago I said I wasn't going to get much bigger (he does not like the bodybuilder look & thought my shoulders were too big already).

Oopsie, I did get bigger! & I'm thrilled about it. Bodyfat is back down about what it was when I started to bulk in December, but weight is up close to 6 - 8 lbs & size is up in arms, shoulders, back, glutes, & quads (prob hams too).

I'm not saying anymore that I'm not going to get much bigger. I just look at him & smile. I'm exploring my genetic potential & loving it.

Just thought I'd share this update on the "My boyfriend hates muscle-chicks issue."

Good job!!! I wanna see those pics.
My husband's the same way. Every time I mention wanting ta get HUGE he rolles his eyes and acts pissed off, he says I'm perfect the way I am. You would think that would make me feel good but hell, he said I was perfect when I was 30lbs heavier. (love is truly blind!)

Must be the squats and cleans.

Told you so.

Neener, neener, neener.

The drop sets of lateral raises, negative bicep curls to eccentric failure, heavy bench & weighted decline push-ups all greatly contributed to the upper body growth too. I think the SLDL added some meat to the butt. Cleans I just started a few weeks ago.

I didn't get bigger by accident. ooooh no, it was QUITE deliberate. I just told the boyfriend I "Probably" wouldn't. Actually that was kiiinda sincere. I always heard that women just CAN NOT "get big" (without AS). But apparently I have not quite yet reached my max natural size.

I found it kinda funny, cuz I honestly forgot that I had told him that. I kept saying it to try to get him to chill when he was afraid I would turn into a "man" I'm not saying it anymore.

Congratulations on your gains !!

Well I guess your man is intimidated by your dedication to weight lifting and all the looks you get from men all the time..

My boyfriend likes girls with a little muscles, but lately he's been commenting about the veins in my arms...I've dropped some bodyfat and the veins just popped out. I wouldn't mind myself if the veins went away, but I guess he's just jealous since he's been bulking and haven't lost as much bodyfat as I have...

They always find something wrong when we feel good about ourself, doesn't they...
