Another update
Well, some time has passed since I last posted.
All I can say is: Newbie gains! Now 116lbs.
DB chest press went from having a bit of trouble with 25’s (ew) to 35’s, and I think I am ready for the 40’s today. My gf/workout partner will be kind enough to help load me up.
I tried straight-arm pulldowns (in addition to the usual lat pulldown) for the lats and chinups for the biceps yesterday. I’ve begun to incorporate a lot more compound exercises, Those should bring up to speed any lagging parts.
My triceps gained some definition and got that lil hook that heads towards the elbow. I’m curvy but lacking size.
And those damn abs. Grr. I see them right under the skin.
My once-neglected legs are now starting to actually look a bit better. Quads poke out when stretched, my butt feels firmer (uuuhh…yeah) the calves , while about 2/3 the length of my whole lower leg, are gaining a bit of size too.
Current diet is roughly 3500 cal/day and 140g protein/day. And lots of water, jeez. I’m always peeing.
So, horray! I suppose size will follow these strength gains. None of this 5 lbs/month bullshit tho, wow.
