Marilyn progress pics....all feedback is welcomed.

marilyn · Jan 9, 2009

Ladies and Gentlemen, I decided to post, since I'am officially in contest prep. Please view and comment......I use Phil's plan, and Tony(Aeliop)as my training partner. I was getting frustrated at times...due, to lack of muscles on arms, shoulders, and tightness.....I think I see development compared to the first pics, but I feel like I'm sooooooo far away from goal....I'd like to hear what you all see at this, thanks

You are looking pretty good. Keep working with Phil! He is a great guy and will not lead you wrong. Muscle takes time; keep putting forth effort and follow Phil’s guidance! Consistency with workout and DIET is the KEY!

Great Job and much luck! I will be looking forward to seeing your next round of progress pics!

I'm assuming you'll be competing in a figure show?

Nice shape, lean and very feminine.

When did you start training seriously?
You look good. Maybe make more short-term goals so you don't get too discouraged. I don't know much about female bb'ing but I would think gaining muscle in a calorie deficient condition to cut for a show would be very difficult to impossible naturally.

I don't know what it takes to win a figure show, but I'm sure the fact that you are absolutely gorgeous won't hurt your chances.

Keep at it.

Marilyn, You look great, you came a long way, in a short time. Muscle maturity takes time, so all good things come to those that wait. Try not to squeeze your shoulder blades together, when doing a back double bicep pose, You are taking away from lat width. Start taking pictures in your fitness outfit, this way we can give you an overall assesment. Be confident, train hard and do the best you can, and most importantly, enjoy yourself.

Looking very toned Marilyn, especially the back pic. Great definition already. Your guns are getting bigger too. I agree with Van about not being able to add muscle while prepping, but you already have plenty of muscle for figure, so just keep fine tuning, and I'll bet you will be very successful in your show..

You are coming along just great, Marilyn!
As others have said, muscle does take time to build.
Just keep chipping away at it, and before you know it you'll be where you want to.

You look terrific already! Building more muscle during contest prep is a tough order to fill. Be patient on that. More muscle will come with time.

thank you Pesty....the back one was taken a few weeks ago, and I think I have it now, after looking at it several times and seeing what you saw. I found the place where I will get my suit in Tampa, one hour away, so next pics will be in that or a bathing suit for your assesment

lol...The Holidays didnt bother me......It is alot of fun...I hope everyone is having good time getting ready! We'll see how I am in the final weeks..........

Well... what I see in these pics is absolute beauty and glamour at its peak.

Now, on a pure fitness standpoint, cause I understand that's what you want to hear about

, maybe a tad bit more overall muscle tone and back width. If that!

But just keep in mind that to most men on planet Earth, you look close to perfect, Marylin.

Hi...missed you

..I appreciate it, as you know, I take all feedback..I learned from them, so thank you. I couldnt do it without Tony as my trainer....I only fired him a few times this time...lol.

Hard to find fault, posing maybe. Post some mandatory poses, your pics are awesome dont get me wrong I love seeing them. If you want to know what needs worked on, some mandatory poses would be even better.

Looking on track so far. keep up the hard work you have come along way in a short time.

Respect.
