Pop quiz📝 Q: How do you create an hourglass figure? ⁣

A. Create it? You’re either born with curves or you're not!⁣
B. Waist train it alllllll day baby!⁣
C. Build your back (and glutes!) making your waist smaller in comparison⁣
⁣
The answer is….C! ⁣
If you didn’t know me back in the day ya girl did NOT have a natural curvy figure by any means. My fat held mostly around my stomach and hips, so I was honestly the reverse of an hourglass figure lol ⁣

If you’re in the same boat that I was, wanting to revamp your physique and rearrange your curves, I’m going to tell you exactly what I did ✨⁣
⁣
✖️LIFT. HEAVY. OFTEN. Training in progressive overload and tracking your workouts will make all the difference here. Implement some sort of training program where you’re lifting weights at least 3x per week. (just because we’re in the *new normal* at home right now doesn’t mean we can’t still train hard!)⁣
⁣
✖️TRAIN ALLLLL DA ANGLES. Lat pull downs, pullovers, barbell rows, db rows, rear delt flys--ALL OF EM. Don’t rely on one movement, one day of the week to get you there. (also tons of credit to deadlifting since that’s made a huge difference in my growth)⁣
⁣
✖️GO SLOW! Anyone can take a heavy weight and use momentum to swing it around, but if you can’t control your weight, feel the contraction, have the right mind muscle connection throughout the movement, drop the weight, do it effectively and up the weight when you can do it right!⁣
⁣
✖️EAT. Eat in a surplus. Hit your protein. Prioritize fuel. No more missing meals or *forgetting to eat* if you want to grow!⁣
⁣
✖️BE PATIENT. Muscle growth takes time, these photos I’m showing you of my journey are of YEARS of work. Years of hitting my protein goals, training 4-6x per week, always training in progressive overload. This process is slow but it is so worth it.⁣
⁣
But the good thing about an hourglass figure is that most of us don’t have one, most of us want one, and we all can build our own, even if God didn’t bless us with that snatched waist like JLO naturally ⏳ ⁣
