AJ Lee Shows Off New Physique In Instagram Photos: Hint, She's Jacked

Former WWE star AJ Lee (AJ Mendez) shared some updated photos on Instagram Thursday, showing off her new physique. Needless to say, she's huge and her new muscular frame is getting a lot of attention on social media. Typically known as a petite but fit wrestler, the transformation is incredible. Perhaps not up the level of a Chyna or a Beth Phoenix, it appears she's clearly on her way.

Promoting photos from Felicity Muphy Photography and giving a shoutout to Jordan Fox Beauty, Mendz wrote, "I never write much here cuz it feels like socializing and gives me introvert sweats, but wanted to answer your questions. I started upping my fitness game last spring while shooting @wowsuperheroes and @heelsstarz and stuck with it for a year." She added, "I have a fitness certification so I built my own program, started creatine, discovered HIIT, increased my protein intake, and played with progressive overload. I was never hungry, I listened to my body, gave it carbs when it wanted, and took many off days to keep my muscles safe, because the key to consistency for me is finding a routine that feels sustainable long term."

Noting that she's not a doctor and advised people to consult a professional, she was using the post to share her personal experience with getting bigger. She then said that she thought crash diets, zero-carb diets, and pushing through pain "are bull---".

She Believes Anyone Can Do This With The Right Mentality

She noted, that it's important to be nice to yourself, be patient, and you’ll stick with it longer. She said, "I gave myself a whole year to reach my goal. We should never work out to earn food or punish ourselves, only to improve our physical and mental health, feel stronger, and to scare strangers on the street."

Clearly, her training is paying dividends if the goal is to add size and muscularity. She didn't say what she's put on in terms of weight, but it has to be a good 10-15 lbs of solid muscle.
