Thank you for the compliments

I started dieting in mid june last year (08), and started weight training mid november that same year up until now.

Awesome results dude!

Where you started and your goals are a lot like mine, I totally feel you about wanting to lose that last bit of belly fat, but still build muscle. I guess gaining a few during weight training is probably the better of the two. Just joined a gym myself so I'm looking forward to the results.

Keep up the good work!

Got together with my fitness teacher at college, told her what I want to do, and she put together a work out routine for me.

Sunday
Dead lift - 5sets x 6reps
Squat - 3x6
Benchpress - 3x6

Tuesday
Squats - 5x6
Incline press - 3x6
Pullup - Failurex3

Thursday
Dead lift - 5x6
Split squat - 5x3 each leg
Bent row - 5x6

This was my first week doing the routine. But overall my weight hasn't changed at all although I am noticing minor changes. For instance I've never seen my veins in my life, but in the past month or so I've noticed during/after working out my arms are all spiderweb'd lol

But yeah, will post results after I do this routine for a while.

Just a new quick updated back shot. Now I'm no proteinboy yet, but I'm workin on it

Looking very lean! You trying to gain weight or what?

I think so. Taking in about 2500-3000 calories a day usually.

I'm not on a "strict" diet, tho. I just to try to atleast some protein every few hours.

btw, happy easter everyone

Still feel like I'm way too "flabby". Like loose skin. lmao.

In other news I started taking MMA classes. What a great workout that is. I thought it'd be a breeze, but you definitely use muscles that you don't normally use in the weight room. Always extremely sore after.

You're seeing things boy.. there isn't an ounce of flab on you.

I just read your story and you really are an inspiration to most. Great job!

agreed. its not "flab" its skin your going to grow into. If it was tight now, when you grew, stretch marks! which suck.

Sincerely,
Wilhelm.

you'r doing good bro.

wanna PM me some of your lifts and we can compete? ;D
we should swap ideas and training parameters.

Haha. My lifts sucks I hate going to the gym and getting out lifted or out benched by dudes half my size, although it doesn't really matter.

my workout pretty much just revolves around squats, deadlifts, and bench press right now.

And yeah, I'm hoping within time I can look more full in terms of muscle. I did have stretch marks when I was younger as I gained weight obviosly.

Progress pic!



hahaha. Wanted to get it done for a week, man'd up and did it today

But on a serious note, I've been doing good.

Lifts increased slightly. I never lifted a lot of weight, but currently I'm benching about 130, deadlifting 155, and squatting 185.

I've been basically just revolving everything around deadlifts, squats, and bench as I said earlier. Seems to be working out alright.

Been slackin on nutrition a lot. Have been real busy and have been eating a little candy, chips, or whatever while at work. Nothing more than a handfull, but still need to lay off it completely again.

Any workout routine tips are welcome and very appreciated

do something with your new life! find something to compete in, or something that will give your "great results" some meaning.

I amnot saying you don;t have meaning, I am just saying, when you make that great of a change, the mentality that comes along with it, makes you a great competitor.

just a thought

I realized this morning it was a little past mid June, which is when I initially started this whole process last year. Figure'd I'd take a couple pics and post them up. Sort of a 1 year anniversary of living healthy.

If you had told me a year ago that this is what I'd look like 1 year later, I would have thought you were crazy.
