I blogged before, but now I have something else to say.
People who workout, or worry about their weight frequently think about things like "genetics". I know that a really small percentage of people, actually cannot lose weight, for whatever reason, they have metabolic or some other bodily issue, that doesn't allow them to lose fat and gain muscle as easily.
Well there is me. I look nothing like anyone in my family, but I know I am not adopted.
I have really small bones. I have been considered a "twig" most of my life. In grade 9-10 I had a bit of a disorder, and I thought I was really fat. Now in grade 12, I hate the fact that I am a twig. Now, that doesn't mean I want more fat on my body... I don't, I am still trying to lose fat, always. But I just wish my body structure was larger.
In exercise science we learned about different body types mesomorphic, endomorph and ectomorph.
There, so I don't have to explain it. I am very ectomorph. I am a little bit mesomorph, but mostly ectomorph.
Girls already have a hard time gaining muscle, and being endomorphic, doesn't help at all.
Most bodybuilders (virtually all of them) are mesomorphic.
Typically, endomorphic males take mass gainer to help them gain weight, but not necessarily fat, but that too. If I were to take that, I would probably explode out of my pants, since I am a girl.
I don't want to gain fat. I am trying to gain muscle and lower my body fat %.
I think I should re-establish what I am trying to accomplish with my body now. I don't consider myself a bodybuilder. I doubt I would ever enter any bodybuilding contests. But I do want muscle. I frankly find it attractive, and so I want it. I remember a while back, I posted some pictures of what I want to look like, and now I sort of have a new idea of what I want to look like. Right now I look like the type of person you would see in the Seventeen magazine workouts, they usually have lean muscle and low body fat %.
These abs. I am going to estimate her body fat percent to be like 8-10%. Mine right now is 17.6%. I would never allow my body fat percent to get below 8%-- for a girl that isn't really healthy. But honestly, if I have never mentioned this before: Abs are made in the kitchen, especially for girls. This means eating lean foods and healthy foods. Also, A SHIT load of cardio. Since I am a runner, I burn an insane amount of calories all of the time, so my body fat % will lower, as long as I eat healthy *most* of the time. I doubt I will have abs like this until late 2014, anyways.
Arms like this would be nice. I chose this photo because I can tell that she has a small bone structure (look at her wrists), like me. I don't think this is overly insane, I can tell she has a low body fat % too.
I can't find any good leg pictures. But just imagine it, okay?
My body is really slender. I look like someone who just goes to the gym to do cardio, compared to others. I do have a significant amount of muscle, but again, since I have a small bone structure, it is practically invisible.
I doubt that I will reach my ideal body until the end of 2014.
I don't know. I just think that muscle is attractive. Plus the actual health benefits--- amazing, and the ability to lift things and do housework shit, would be awesome as well.
It'll be hard.
