More Progress (With Pics!)

Sorry for the lack of posting on my behalf. I've been slammed with work and things to do this past week and I cannot WAIT for Thanksgiving to roll around. I swear, physics will be the death of me.

Moving on... I feel like I frequently post progress posts but I feel the need now to update you all on what I've been up to in the gym.

I've been lifting quite heavy for a long period of time. My body is really starting to reap the soreness and for the next two weeks or so, I'm doing a lot of low weight, high reps stuff. It is so boring. I understand the necessity of it, but my niche is definitely with the heavy weights. Yesterday, I did a chest workout and the lowest amount of reps I did was 15. Do you know how boring it is to count to 15 reps? It's quite boring.

However, I know this is exactly what my body needs: a rest from lifting heavy. It's important to follow periodization, which means for a few weeks you focus on the heavy weights, and then shift to lifting light weeks for a few weeks and then repeat. This allows your body to get some rest from lifting really heavy all the time while also maintaining muscle mass and giving the body a chance to actually grow. Believe it or not, but when you annihilate your body everyday in the gym with heavy weights, you won't grow. You're just destroying your body and not giving it a chance to rest and recover. The recovery is where the muscle grows.

Anyways, here's a few pictures of my progress. This has to be one of the proudest moments in my life, seeing this progress. It may seem trivial to someone else who doesn't understand my passion for lifting weights, but to me it just means the world. Thank you for all your support!

Six pack coming in. One day, I will have Andreia Brazier's. ;)

Gun show!

Legs babayyy. Were dem quadz at?!

Veins on veins on veins.

Working on the booty. White girl swaggg.

And just to give you all something to compare these pictures to, this was me last year some time...

Skinny skinny skinnnnny! 

But I do not regret ever being too skinny. It was who I was. I'm so proud of all my achievements in and out of the gym. This is my life. I love lifting, and one day my career will revolve around it, that I know for sure. I have a lot of goals ahead of me, and I can't wait to tackle them head on.

Have a great day guys, and smash those weights. :)
