[zoe]

Hey!
I posted these in the training journal threads but I thought I'd post just the photos here too. diet and training log will be updated over there: http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=23513

but i'll keep the progress photos comin as I go. My goals are purely to gain more and morestrength, but ya can't help when the muscle actually start poppin' up!

BEFORE= no weightlifting.

Nice quads.

Epic quads. Good luck!

[Eli Wurth]

Yes, Zoe, great thighs. I struggle with that. Please tell me how you got those, specifically? More than just squats? Biking? What's your secret? lol

[applehead]

great shape!

Very nice! Great progress. Your body seems to respond well to weight lifting.

Longest torso that I have seen lately! If you could concentrate on widening those lats more, and get an awesome V up there, you should do well in contests! Especially if you keep working on the quads too! Great back and quads will get you far!

Do you do shrugs? The top of the traps need alittle bit more work, though on a female it is awkward to keep it feminine looking (keep your neck stretched whle shrugging to not build up the neck muscles).

Looks like you are doing a great job Zoe. It helps to start with a good shape but the weightlifting seems to have emphasized all the right things.

Great Job!

Wow, you made incredible progress!

Damn girl, you look awesome. And paleness in the winter in the winter is the way it's supposed to be. xD *respect*

Thanks everyone!
My legs have always been a strong point for me. However, I do bike often and I work at a state park which requires A LOT of hiking. Doing heavy squats has really done wonders for my quads though.

Thanks zoe. I've been doing lunges as well. I've been trying deep lunges where I touch the ground with my knee before I take the next lunge. Only doing light weights though so not to stress knees too much. I don't have any before pics that are postable, lol, but I'll try to post something soon.
Plus I bike, and do some squats, probably not enough though.

Zoe, here's my email if you want me to send some pics. Feel kind of shy about doing it here.
Thnx
