MAKING SOME GAINS, OH YEAH!!!

Just wanted to share my progress since being on Scivation's CHA modified diet

Differences noticed
- quads are getting better and yes i'm flexing in that first set of pics. I think it really depends on what i eat to really make them pop. Leaner, not sure...seems like the veins are showing up more on the first set of pics. Need to work on my posing as you can see. I get practice taking the progress pics though. My very first pics for Scivation i was obviously leaner since i just got done doing a comp so i won't post those Lord knows i don't want to be skinny like i was at my first comp. I was just looking back at those pics and thinking "what the heck was i thinking competing looking like that!" LOL. Each comp should bring a better physique so you see why my i want to give my body more time to build. Still lots of symmetry to work on. Please give me some honest feedback, i won't bite I am definitely pushing A LOT more weight than i ever have since joining Team Scivation. I stay pretty active too, you have to with 4 kids and a husband. The CHA diet has been pretty point on since the holidays have passed so there is no problem there.

The first set of pics were taken on 12/8 and that was a hellacious month as i was adjusting to the CHA and not being very strict (holidays). I didn't think i would ever get adjusted and was about to KICK the CHA to the curb. I was being a big baby. I then later on (without me asking) got switched over to the modified CHA to where i could have startchy carbs on M1, M2, and M3. The pics show 8 weeks worth of progress. I really did want those shoulders to have grown some more.

Some stats:

12/8/09 weight (first set of pics): 139lbs

2/3/09 weight (current progress pics): 139.5lbs (1 inch off waist, 1/2 inch lost on hips, 1/2 inch increase on chest, funny quads and calves are the same in measurements)


When i first started with Scivation, my weight was 136lbs. My waist measurements are the same as now, quads are an inch bigger now, hips an inch bigger, chest a half inch bigger, and calves a half inch bigger. Oh yeah, started off with shoulder measurements of 39.5 and now its 42 inches around. I took my BF measurements and came up with around 14% which is hard to believe. I am retaking it next week per Derek/Scivation trainer. I pinched the 3 sites as hard as i could to get a reading. My digital Accumeasure calipers average out the pinches.

So this is what i have now :) Training is going AWESOME and the diet is SPOT ON. I get a weekly cheat so i'm hitting the sushi this week :D Thanks for reading and commenting ;)
