good start, when you really get into the weight training, you will see the difference. :tucool: :bb: :bb: :bb: :bb: :bb: :bb: then :bb:

thanks rtestes, im still having trouble deciding between doing a full body routine, or a split routine... which one would yeild better/faster results?

thanks heaps!

opps, i forgot to ask before. i used calipers to test my bf% but the results were very out (did it 3 times... first time, 22%, second, 10%, and third, 38%!) so i was wondering if anybody could give me an estimate based on the pictures posted above...

thanks again

I always recommend full body. After three years or more you can get into splits if you see need. I am on my 53rd year of full body workouts.

22-25% might be a good estimate. you girls are hard to pinpoint.

hi !

good to see someone else having the courage to start and post pictures of him/herself
on the web, i know how hard it was for me.

i dont know what your goals are, but actually i think your looking good already :)

if you lift some weights im quite sure youll get a even more attractive body
in very short time.

best of luck !

thanks so much for your encouragment! i have just started a lifting routine which im hopeing will yeild some great results.

thanks again!! really! :D

how do you feel about your first couple times lifting, its great, isnt it :)

i knew the second i touched my first barbell/dumbell that i would be addicted :D

You're looking really slim, it's like a canvas ready to be painted by muscle. (which someone told me when I started) A little work and you'll get some dangerous curves painted on. :) I think you look great already. Some more meat on those curves and you'll be smokin'!

oh yeah, rtestes was one scary looking 10 year old! :nod:

thanks for your comments Denzalo, i like the whole 'empty canvas' analogy. it makes me want to get out there and start painting!

Second that.

I hope you yield some great results with weight training in the coming months and keep this thread updated! :)

SO have you been training since you were 10?:lol:

Another senior moment, only situps and pushups at 12, I started at 13 using cables,weights started at 14. I turn 65 in May, my mind turns 70 in May, too. My math is good only on certain days of the month.:lol:

Second that.

I hope you yield some great results with weight training in the coming months and keep this thread updated! :)

will do.

you have made some awesome progress yourself... hope you keep moving foward and your thread updated, too! :D

new pics coming soon!

it has been a while since i have updated this thread. in my absence i have gained a fair bit of muscle, unfortunatly with the muscle gain... i also gained fat :(.

so where to from here?

thanks heaps guys :D

how about the weight ? did it change quite some ?

yes it did change a fair bit. I have aparantly gained 10lbs, but around 5 of those seem to be muscle. I know I don't look all that appealing right now, but when I start to strip the fat, its going to be sweet :D
