Bulking progress - could use some advice!

[sneezingstardust]

Well, I sucked it up, and decided to take some progress pictures *wince*. Abs have sort of disappeared a little, but no biggie.

Be harsh, but PLEASE be honest!!

This is just a front pic, totally relaxed, not flexing anything:



A few of my back:







Random:






It's quite difficult attempting to take pictures with a DSLR through a mirror...urgh.

And I know I posted 3 of my back, but as we all know different angles and lighting can affect the way your muscles look...I just wanted to note the difference, so you can get an accurate idea.

I'd appreciate some feedback! I really need to know what I have to work on the most...seeing as I have a comp coming up I need to prioritize a little.

Thanks soo much in advance!

You look great girl!! I wouldnt be worried about too much..you seem like the type of person to put on muscle in your ab region pretty fast..so its nuttin a couple of weighted crunches on a decline bench wouldnt fix . As with everything else, your back looks AWESOME now..and I say "now" cuz you are bulkin..and im bulkin..and everyone who has ever bulked before knows how muscles like to go in hiding during this phase..lol. But when you cut for your show you will look AMAZING!!! If it were me and I was crunched for time, I would focus a bit more on my legs and delts ..but like I said before..I think youre on the right track..love you girlie!!!

Thanks babe! I have a six-pack when I flex, so I'm good still I think, hehe. I'm working my delts and hammies extra hard lately! Hopefully I can put on some size in time.

I think you've done excellent work. Really, I can see visible quad/ham definition on the side..your delts and ABS STILL

Keep up the good work. A bit more size. I know you have high expectations for your first show, but you are still so young, and muscle density takes some time. I would worry, I think you're looking great and going to DO great!

I agree, I still see your abs and the width of your upper back has really improved Looking good Girlie, you are going to do so well!!!

I think you look really good...you dont have ANY lagging body parts. The symmery looks great, so just focus on gaining OVERALL muscle.

BTW...your taper looks awesome already, cant wait to see what the future holds!!!!

KEEP IT UP

Thanks for all the comments, girls! I'm really working on trying to add muscle...I can't believe I was so stupid by restricting my diet out of the fear of getting fat! Now I have to make up for it...argh!

I think what really needs work right now are my hammies, delts, and traps...lets see what I can do to shape this body upppp

I know I am kicking myself for the same reason, yet I still obsess about the food I put in my body!
You look great!! When you lean those muscles will start to pop out. The building phase is sooo tough!!!
