No such thing!??<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nI used to hate my broad shoulders. I\u2019d slump my posture to make them look smaller.?<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nAs I started dabbling in strength training and gaining some muscle, I shied away from wanting to train my upper body too much for fear of getting \u2018too big\u2019 I would always opt for training my lower body.?????<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nWhen I first started working with @joeparish my coach over 2 years ago, I made sure to be very clear about how I needed to prioritise building my legs instead of my arms and shoulders.<br \/>\nThankfully he ignored me and knew exactly what I needed to do. Ever the good (ish) client, I followed my training programs to the letter.?<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nTurns out I loved training upper and before long found myself focusing more on my upper body than my lower, as this is where I was also seeing the most progress.??<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nI now love my arms and shoulders and love getting compliments about them and how people would love to have shapely shoulders\/arms like mine. Now, it isn\u2019t all about the compliments, but I now have the confidence to show them off, I stand tall and proud with my shoulders, big, round, shapely and strong.??<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nAfter spending nearly 30 years of slouching and hating them, I now love them and the changes I\u2019ve made to them and this year I even asked my coach to prioritise my shoulders in order for me to grow them even more.????<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nGaining muscle as a women if often difficult, it takes a lot of effort and consistency over a long period of time, but your body WILL change &#8211; thats the goal. As it does so will you, because the same effort and consistency over time will translate to changes in how you move through life too.??<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nBy working hard to build the physique I want (as it\u2019s an on going process) has led to me working hard to build myself as a person both mentally and emotionally, focusing on exactly what I want out of life!??<br \/>\n.<br \/>\n(When you also giggle ? on rep 3 as you can see yourself in the camera ? , facials)????<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div><script>window.fbAsyncInit = function() {FB.init({appId      : '',xfbml      : true,version    : 'v2.5'});var my_video_player;FB.Event.subscribe('xfbml.ready', function(msg) {if (msg.type === 'video') {my_video_player = msg.instance; my_video_player.unmute();}});};(function(d, s, id) {  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3\";  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));  <\/script><div class=\"fb-video\"    data-autoplay=\"false\" data-allowfullscreen=\"true\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/video.php?v=1878892242396628&set=vb.500808182&type=1\"><div class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\t\n\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/1560777524208103\/posts\/1878892242396628\">Source<\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>??Boulder shoulders?
