1st off expecting to become 120 by the end of the year of mostly muscle, is a feat many of us bodybuilders could only dream of!:D Realistically I would look at adding 5 more pounds to your frame of muscle, maybe 7 if you count the soft spots hehe. I would need to know how many calories you are taking in on a daily basis (do a food journal for a week include EVERYTHING that goes in your mouth). It's good to hear that your eat well balanced meals, but you are also a hardgainer so that means your metabolism burns like hell. Definately go for the high weight low repeition workouts, but DON'T be afraid of putting on bulky muscle (women can't put on that kind of muscle like the guys do that fast as we don't produce enough creatine in our bodies). You also mentioned that you like to snack alot, that may work against you as eating frequently speeds up your metabolism as you are constantly providing it fuel. This is a smart thing to do but in your case you may want to cut down on the snacking if you want to conserve those calories. Try sticking to 4 meals a day ( you said you like to cook your meals well balanced) and MINIMAL snacking...maybe one snack;)
It's true though all those muscles easily get hidden under the water retention and fat after the competition days are over and its bulk up season again. I am no where near as shredded as I was and my abs are slightly there:(, unfortunately my weight likes to go right back to my ass hehe one thing my hubby complains about when I'm dieting is my lack of ass:p BUt right now I'm 5'7 and 117 pounds, I competed at 111 pounds of shreddedness. I'm aiming for 5 pounds of muscle to be gained this winter and come in at 116 pounds for the worlds next year in T.O.Feel free to PM and we can further discuss!:gsmile:
and thanks for all the respectful talk about my knowledge hehe

| i'm visiting my family and i don't belong to a gym nearby so how detrimental is 10 days off from working out? i've go out and hit some tennis balls and gotten some cardio by dancing, but normally i go to the gym for ~90min 5/6 days a week and play tennis once a week for ~2hours so it's nowhere near my normal week. anyhow let me know what you think. |

| 10 days off is a little bit of a break but if your goals aren't too serious about gaining muscle, and just maintaining a nice physique then you have nothing to worry about! Just don't eat alot of junk on those days off!:) |

i'm content with my muscle mass and very close to being as strong as i would ever like to be, so my main concern is dropping fat weight (now 5'6" and 135). it'll be hard saying no to my mom's cooking though :D |
