I will be posting monthly.

Arms look solid, much better than I expected scrolling down the page. From the hint in one of the pictures, seems like the glutes are up to par as well.

Looking good.

What's the ht./wt.?

I find it amusing. You have no idea how many PM's i've recieved from John Stone for merely commenting on attractive women in this forum. Apparently, Maya's fair game. :confused: No matter though, comments don't pose a threat to me.. I suppose it comes with the territory, she certainly is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! (and mine :D )

Yeah.........it's a cyber thing, and a phone thing, and a webcam thing for about 3 more weeks. Then it'll be the REAL thing. What's the matter Max???? Jealous? :moon:

I suggest you ask HER what kind of "thing" it is.

LOL, I know man. Even still, he has a wonderful taste in women to have a "cyber" relationship with Maya. Now, how did this turn from a Maya progress thread to a hijacked relationship thread?. Ahhh well.

Have you reported the post? Has Maya? No, neither of you have. I just happened across your comment and the other comments in this thread a few moments ago.

I received many complaints about you, hence your many warnings.

I'll remind you that moderators' decisions and disciplinary actions are not subject to public discussion, as you've done above. If you have a problem, then take it up with me directly.

As for the rest of you, this is not a singles forum. Women are entitled to post progress pictures without being gawked at. I insist on this. Feel free to comment on Maya's progress, but if you want to flirt then keep it off the forums or in your personal journals.

ok, peace!

i have received PMs with just simply comments, nothing offensive, so nothing to report.

on other, relationship issues im not gonna even comment, because its all very clear, at least to me :rolleyes:

adios!

hi, dude. :o

The photos look great. Are you considering taking photos under the same conditions as your original June photos in your journal? I would be interested in seeing your progress in comparison to those photos.

Also, how low a BF % are you looking to achieve in prep for competition?

BTW, reading through your journal, your consistency and determination is inspiring.

There are more photos in my journal on page 16 taken a month ago or so.
How low BF%? I dont know... probably around 10%... it might kill me, but oh well :lol:

Hi Maya,

What is actually involved in this competition? Is it poses and things like that? I haven't got a clue about these competitions! :)

Your arms and abs look really good by the way.

All mandantory poses at pre-judging it the am and in the afternoon a routine w/music were you can strut your stuff ;)

Your hard work and dedication looks to be paying off. Great results so far. Good luck in your future competition.

All mandantory poses at pre-judging it the am and in the afternoon a routine w/music were you can strut your stuff ;)

:confused:

Are you sure about that? I've NEVER seen a figure competition where competitors are given mandatory poses or a night routine where you pose to music. I believe you are referring to men's/women's bodybuilding, where there are at least 13-14 mandatory poses followed by the individual routines during the evening segment of the show. For a Figure competition it's all about the stage walk.

I would highly suggest hiring a local Figure coach, or attending as many figure shows as possible before your comp to know exactly what is expected from you on stage.

If I misunderstood your post, I then extend my apologies.

Are you sure about that? I've NEVER seen a figure competition where competitors are given mandatory poses or a night routine where you pose to music.
The one that the wife did a couple of years ago required quarter turns, each with a specific accompanying stance, but nothing more complicated than that. From what I could see, the poses were difficult to strike properly and would require a great deal of practice. Some of the more seasoned competitors on the stage that night missed poses. I was sitting directly behind the judges' table, so I had the opportunity to overhear some of their conversations and criticisms. ;)

Yup, quarter turns are a part of the competition, but nothing more than that. When Maya stated "mandatory poses", this is usually reserved for poses where you are flexing. IE: front double bicep, side tricep, rear lat spread, abs/thighs, most muscular, etc., etc.

The above poses, minus the quarter turns, are for bodybuilding only. Well, so are the quarter turns which are prior to the actual poses. Additionally, there is no nighttime routine to music for the figure girls.

Just want to make sure that Maya is on the same page we are, Blue :nod:

From what I saw at the last figure competition poses were required and judged. I know that rear lat spread is not required, but the others (maybe the more basic) were.

I know that "model" girls were not required to do any poses and all they had to do is walk and present themselves.
The figure girls also had to do routine at night with music, each person had 90 seconds for their own music routine :confused:

Your hard work and dedication looks to be paying off. Great results so far. Good luck in your future competition.

Thank you Specialk! :D

That's exremely unusual and I still have some doubts lol. Model girls? That's news to me. I have never judged or attended a show where figure girls have posed, and done a night routine to music. Therefore, to eliminate confusion and to discover what is expected of you as a competitor at your upcoming show, I would highly recommend contacting the promoter and asking what exactly it is that figure competitors are expected to do. I would do this as far in advance as possible, and while you're at it, I'd also ask what kind of conditioning is required for figure.

You definitely do not want to be caught off guard at a show and waste away all your hard work and dedication. I've seen this happen too often.

Good luck :)

Wow!! Maya.. you really look fabulous... all your hard work and discipline is really paying off... :nod:

Here's really rootin' for you... I hope you take lots of pics for the prep and the contest... They should be great photos.... :tucool:

The routine Im talking about is not a "fitness" routine, but for sure 90 second routine to the music.

Please don't be mad at me baby. I've been soooooo busy between work and violating the law.:bang: I REALLY need to get my shit together.

Simply amazing. I'm sure you'll do well in your competition. Now for a little flattery. My wife is following your progress because your her new found inspiration. She's currently pregnant with twins. She asked me to help her get her body back after she delivers. We argued for awhile about her building some muscle, until of course I showed her your pics. I'm trying to talk her into joining here and asking some questions but so far I've been unsucessful.

Doing great, keep up the good work!

She's currently 28 weeks but is starting to show signs of labor. So pretty much any day now according to her doctor. She's very tiny. she was 95 before being pregnant and right now is only 116 pounds with twins. So their putting a lot of strain on her and obviosuly don't want to stay in there for too much longer.

Hey Ryan :D
Yeah, pretty much six-pack now. Im little tempted to cut more now to have it nicely visible, but i have to do it very slow because im little bit too cut for 3 months pre comp. I have to time it properly.

I have to borrow a camera (mine broke) and take some photos this weekend.

Ehhhhh.... Im pissed off!! I borrowed a camera and tried to take some photos and they suck!
You cant see a thing. Too dark and out of focus. Damn.

Nice ab progress Maya:tucool: Keep it up!

You look, in the words of Tony the Tiger, grrrrrrrrrrreat. Keep up the good work! :)

Your hard work is surely paying off. You not only have a great physique, but have achieved an excellent shape. Congratulations and good luck in your contest.

Hey there..

You've done an excellent job, I see great definition in your shoulders and arms. In fact your arms look nicely defined with 'long' muscles and they are atheletic looking. I approve!

I would recommend wearing your hair up or tied back to emphasize your leaness when you do your competition. It all helps.. :)

Great stuff. You have until June to keep working at it, right? Where is the comptetition going to be?

Fantastic work, your progress should be a benchmark for what can be achieved with hard work, dedication and discipline, and well of course your natural beauty only ads to the stunning results.

You will defiantly dominate the fitness show..:tucool:

UFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Damn baby, I can't wait. :bang:

Ahem.... be careful what you wish for ;)

:drool: You are going to crush that figure competition.
Hey Big D!
I dont know about crushing it... LOL, I still have so much work ahead of me.
Im really scared of getting too skinny/flat looking. The last few shitty couple of days are not helping me to prevent that either. :spank:

Hey there, welcome!
Thank you for the compliments. Well, I dont know about dominating the show, but surely I will be in the best shape possible (for me) :)

Great stuff. You have until June to keep working at it, right? Where is the comptetition going to be?

Yes, I should be show ready 2 weeks prior to the show, so mid-May.
There is few natural shows happening here around Toronto area. My trainer will pick something for me. He suggested Model Category as well. I can enter both though Figure and Model, which I think I will do.

Hey there..

You've done an excellent job, I see great definition in your shoulders and arms. In fact your arms look nicely defined with 'long' muscles and they are atheletic looking. I approve!
Yes, Im tall, so my muscles are longer, not as bulky looking. I have to gain more muscle to get more shape. Im looking forward to my next bulk

Your hard work is surely paying off. You not only have a great physique, but have achieved an excellent shape. Congratulations and good luck in your contest.

my idol used to be Gisele, now it's Maya :bow: :)

It's amazing how our perception of what is beautiful changes with the knowledge we acquire. Maya, you look really healthy and strong, a perfectly sculpted body I'm aming for in the long run.

Thanks guys!
I think this is a perfect example how weight training, even heavy one, doesnt make women to look "bulky" ;)

I never work out to "tone up" (I hate that word). I eat and train to build muscles.
I just started cardio a week ago.
So all this is heavy weight training and clean diet (used to be 2300-2600) now, and its only before the show, I still eat about 1950 cal.

I've just started lifting and am still a bit confused about how much I should do. For instance, yesterday I did legs (lounges, squats) and had a 5 kilo weight in my hands, the last set was not done 'til failure' but my front tighs really ache today. I'm not sure if that's good or not. Also, when do you know you should add more weight?

Thanks D, Gravityhomer and GD :D

In the last couple of weeks after quitting the dairy completly (except for egg whites) and started cardio that my muscles are showing more (so lower body fat) :tu:
It is a slow process though. I have been eating pretty clean since November. No bread and cheese since then either. The diet is what makes it or breaks it.

Just couple of fun photos I took today
Damn your not kidding, those are "fun" photo's!:D

I did some posing today and took pictures. I also found a picture of my back 6 months ago. I'm amazed at the difference! Not only the muscles show up more, but the whole shape of my back has changed.

PS. I only started slow cutting a month ago and started cardio 10 days ago.

Your back is seriously starting to look ripped, maya. Is this your first competition, or have you done many in the past?

Huge difference there!
Also noticed the "finger up in the air" pose, I gotta say thats much more elegant then the "balled up body builder fist".

Nice job, Hey how's the shoulder BTW? I remember you had something messed up. Is it under control or are you dealing with it still?

Hi Gordo!
My shoulder (right) is doing better, but it still feels little "tight". When doing flyes, it feels like I just dont have the same range of movement. :( No pain though.

Yeah, the hands have to be relaxed at all time in "figure".

Do you know of any places where you can have them custom made?

Nope.

I know someone that makes bodysuits for gymnasts, but I don't know if she would know anything about figure suits. Are there special regulations? I understand they're normally pretty expensive. She sells the recreational children's gymnastic bodysuits for only $30 (some of them are extra runs from custom suits she's made), but I don't know how much she charges for the custom made competitive gymnastics suits that she sells.

Your back and arms look amazing maya! I am always jealous of people with a great looking back. Mine never seems to take on that muscular look. I think I carry a lot of fat there.

Congratulations on your work Maya!.
You're absolutely gorgeous!.
When it comes to 'perfect body', yours will be in my mind :)
Keep workin'!

you'd better hurry up and order your suits... most of the custom made suit makers (seamstresses I guess) require months and months of advance notice... I had found one place where you could buy un-decorated suites and a small bag of crystals and you decorate the suite yourself... I'll see if I can find the site again and send you the link.. but don't wait too much longer or you won't have a suite to compete in ;)

oh... and the new pictures look GREAT... you've made a lot of really great progress!!

From viewing your pics, back to front and then front to back, thats been some good progress.

I am a new memeber on here, so don't have much history on the members of this site. How long have you been training for and what was your motivation?

I was sort of always on and off into weight training. When I was 18 I think I first put my foot into this dungy gym with some serious guys who were into bodybuilding. That gym didn't have all the bells and whistles like some other gyms and I loved it.
I think I was the only chick there and I didn't care.
But back then I was still going to school and working at the local jazz club many nights, so I dropped out.
Then I moved, joined the gym over here ("Ballys"- pretty gym ;)) worked out for a while, but couldn't really fit in, didn't really know what I was doing.... and I quit.
Few years went by.
I was totally unhappy with the way I looked. I knew what I wanted, but I didn't know how to get there. I joined "Goodlife" (close by), got few sessions with a trainer and I was dissapointed. The lady was very nice.... but something was missing.
Then (this was exactly 2 years ago) through one of my clients I met my trainer, competitive natural bodybuilder. This guy "talks the talk and walks the walk". It clicked right away.
He has a private studio, no frills, just some machines and lots of dumbells and plates :D.... (and good music!!)
So now I mostly work out with him. Sometimes I do 1 workout a week at the gym and the rest with him. We are alone, I have no people to distract me, I can listen to loud music, swear my head off doing jumping lunges and I dont have far to the bathroom in case I would need to puke :lol: (I was very close couple times).
So basically, I'm blessed :D


And as we would say in Scotland 'Hats off to doordude!':tucool:
Ahem.... Doordude....what can I say? :bow:
Yeah, I'm very blessed :whistle: :D

there were a couple of women @ my gym walking around in stilettos on weds, and i figured they were praciticing for some sort of competition. i wonder if its the same one you have coming up? who knows, but it was the first time i ever saw someone at the gym in stilletos! (guy or girl) :lol:

Maya, I think he told you you don't have a chance with him. :lol:

Seriously, you look great. I find the "natural hands" thing with figure interesting, because while you aren't making fists, I'd have to guess your hands are probably just as tense as they would be if you were! Those poses can't be easy to hold.

Maya, you look great. Couple things....in your relaxed back pose, don't squeeze your shoulder baldes together. Bring your elbows slightly forward and imagine "squeezing" your armpits into your biceps. Your lats will open up. Same with the rear double bicep pose - bring your elbows slightly forward, drop your shoulders, don't pinch your scapula together, but rather squeeze your armpits into your biceps to open up your lats to give the illusion of width.

Other then that, you'll do really well and I wish to congratulate you in advance. After going through all the preparation (and all of life's curveballs along the way) the moment you walk out on stage, you are a champion. :tu:

We're all in your corner for sure :claplow:

The more recent one is blurrier, but you still look more fibrous. :)

The super clean and very plain diet is what did that (also way less sodium). My calories stayed pretty much the same. Its interesting how it works.

He tlod me not to do carb restriction, so I kept the carbs as usual (about 150 g.). Carb load Friday and Saturday for Sunday show. In general he says to eat as plain and as clean as I can.
All of my starchy carbs came from oatmeal in the last couple of weeks, BTW.
It worked :)

Oh, awesome pictures. Thanks for posting those. You look gorgeous. Anyone who claims that lifting heavy will make women bulky should just take a look at your "relaxed" pictures. Even at your low BF % you don't look anywhere close to bulky, just really lean and athletic.
