Some Fennec pics

good job.In my opinion you should consider an A/S like anavar or maybe growth hormone;good if you are over 40 when your body produces less of it. I will try it if I get to be 40 (15 more years)but not before. It helps you look younger too. just my opinion. good luck and very very nice work.

You look great. What an inspiration for all of us, especially for us older gals
Thank you.

Well, how old do ya'll think I am, anyway? I just turned 33. If you thought that 'cause I said I dipped for 17 years, that's true, I started in my sophomore or junior year in high school.

If it's that I look older in the pictures, hopefully it's cause:

a) It was a low carb day, and I was not pumped up
b) I had just finished cardio
c) No tan, no makeup
d) I was squinting into the sun

Sometime this summer, I plan to go to a professional photographer and have some really good pics taken. I'll post those, and see if ya still think I look like I'm in my 40's. Meanwhile, my husband will get a kick out of this, because he's always ragging on me because I get carded in casinos and buying alcohol, but he never does. He'll love the fact you guys thought I was in my 40's!

I'll try to keep my positive mental attitude, in spite of the fact you think I'm a seasoned citized.

BTW: Had my first 2 workouts after being sick, yesterday and today. It felt GREAT to work out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agree with you fennec, SLDL's are the way to go for hams. i'm up to 45# at 20 or 30 reps...at what rep amount should i up the weight? Been making slow but steady progress, i started at 35#'s three or four months ago. 10# in three months...the fastest progress i ever made with anything.

Wynnyelle: Shoot, girl, if you can do that many reps in good form, it's time to increase the weight now! Good work!

Try kicking it up to 65, and see if you can use that weight and maintain your form. If you can still do 20 in good form, go higher. Try to keep your shoulders back and down. That one is hard for me, but getting more "normal" feeling with practice. The easiest way to feel the right form is to try to keep your shoulder blades squeezed together through the whole movement (your butt should be stuck out and your chest should be stuck out), don't lock your knees, and you can also stand on a "step" (like for step aerobics) if you are so flexible that when you reach the bottom of the movement, the weight is hitting the floor. Usually when I do them, it starts taxing me heavily somewhere between the eighth and twelveth rep. When I use the 95 pounds, my forearms start to give out before my hamstrings do, but I'm pretty strong in this exercise. If you start to lose your form, end the set. You can hurt your back if you mess up the form on this one. Have fun!

i don't want to bump it up more than 5 lb's at a time, my body has never responded well to sudden large weight increases. I have to be 'sneaky' about it or my body actually catches on that i'm trying to (gasp) build muscle and it just locks up into a plateau no matter how much i eat, or worse, my lift plummets. so i'll up the weight to #50 this week and keep going till i get the reps below 20 again. i've been doing so well with this that i don't want to put a whammy on it.

i'm not flexible at all, have always had tight hamstrings. i lower the weight to below my knees and above my ankles so i'm not stretching those hams too much. this range of motion has worked well for me. i can feel most of my weight centering on my heels rather than my whole foot when i do them, i do stick my butt back, i have to or the barbell's weight simply makes me fall forward

GREAT JOB!!! I have read your threads for awhile and know how bad you want to succeed. You look great so far. Going from 40% to under 20% bodyfat is an amazing accomplishment. You are a wonderful role-model for those whomsay it cannot be done...you just proved their asses wrong!!!

As a future forewarning, you will notice, if not already, that the fat loss becomes harder to lose as you get leaner (at least for most), and I feel this is where these boards excel in helping people like yourself. Just know that we will be here every step of the way if you need anything. Again, your looking great, good job!!!
