I've got a lot of fat around glutes and thighs  but that's my shape... Hopefully there's more quad and still a nice shapely bum under there after dieting, legs feel more muscular so I'm sure I'll be fine. Just need more side delt now and I'll be happy, I feel ok from the front and rear, just side, I guess it may be to do with posing... may be...

Some good work gone on there

If your shape holds well when you diet you'll have defo improved on your symmetry.

You look fabby, you're gonna rock 2010!

You can really tell you packed on some quality muscle... just compare your side chest to the piccy in your avatar!

Love the bikni!

Bought bikini second hand off Cee Oliver for £30 (bargain!)
 
I hope I've gained some Shoulder-age and bicep-age as they were my lagging bits... Then I panicked after having photies taken and thought I'd been neglecting my Chest so have been majorly blasting it since December!
 
Priorities til March are:
Biceps
Side delts
Chesticles
(in that order)
 
Did 20mins Stepper last night as cardio, then a slippery walk home for 30mins!

60kgs 9 reps
65kgs 6 reps (PB I THINK)
 
Wide grip chins
20kgs 6 reps (felt really weak!)
30kgs 10 reps, 11 reps
 
Narrow grip underhand lat pulldown
35kgs 10 reps
40kgs 7 reps

(Didn't focus on the rep range, more getting a huggggeee squeeze at the top)

Then another slippery walk home!
 
Not enjoying diet foods atm... Not craving but it's taken me like, 30mins to eat my tuna and pasta meals - and these are waayyyyy preferential to chicken atm... EEK! Any tips people? It's the first time I've really struggled to get food down

How about a drop of balsamic on the tuna and if you're using Udos mix that with it too.

Schwartz seasoning (my saviour when dieting)
