Figured I would start posting here in case people don't want to read the other thread anymore. I seem to be the only one posting there:

==============================================

My latest update:

This week we are starting on the german volume training, aka GVT, aka 10 for 10.

10 sets of 10 reps. According to my trainer it is the best way to build lean mass in a short amount of time. So we will be doing this for 2.5 weeks until my next plan sets in.

As of the weekend just gone there is 8 weeks until my first competition, 10 weeks until the second one. We have decided I will be competing in fitness instead of bikini because my body fat is dropping quickly. At my last measurement I was sitting on 20%. The target is 16% and when I initially went in there I was 25%.

I can start to see huge changes in my body. The bottom part of my obliques are more pronounced all the time now, not just on odd days, and in certain light you can see lines down the sides of my 6 pack. Top 2 abs are out.
I can also see the line starting to form down the side of my glutes and down my leg and my gluteus medius is growing and making my bum rounder and perkier, not to mention the fat dropping from my hamstrings which helps that too.
I can also see my shoulders are starting to get bigger. Not wider but the muscles are starting to give my shoulders some shape.

Pretty happy with the way things are going. Although I have put on weight my clothes are starting to fall off me. The jeans I'm wearing today for example were tight on me (they are actually skinny jeans) a few weeks ago and now i can take them off without even undoing the zipper.

Soon it will be time fro some new clothes!

I will be ordering my stage bikini this week. It's all very exciting.
