At 170 - Up 12 Lbs

You look like a scary ass kickin madman when ur not all tanned up with your hair did. Hahaha- that new pic there looks like the bad news older brother of the guy in your avatar picture. Forget abs- get bigger. You can probably put on another 30lbs of muscle yet so I don’t know what you’re holding back for. Get another tattoo, let the facial hair grow some, and keep lookin like you just got out on work release after a hard 10 year stretch…it’s workin for ya…this new image.

hey thanks…i think lol. as for a new image? nahh…of course the lighting between the 2 pics is drastically different. the harsh florescent lighting of the gym in the vid makes me look pretty rough i admit. and i am forgetting about my lost abs - for now.

i do intend to lean up again come spring time. as i’ll soon be 40, it’s getting harder for me to put on size. that along with the series of injuries i’ve sustained over the years which make it hard for me to do a lot of power movements and go heavy too often- my joints act up. so if i net a measly 3 lbs of lmm in the end i’ll be happy.

If you are gaining that much fat, maybe you could try bringing your carbs back down and making up for those calories with some more healthy fats. I know youre a big fan of Berardi…are you still following the carbs only after a workout rule?

umm…no! i admit i’ve been being bad and indulging a bit too much in things i shouldn’t be. no desserts but certainly more carbs than i should be eating and not exactly at the right times. but i love to eat and i’m just going to enjoy myself for a while. i know it’s more work for me later on but when i put my head to leaning up again, it’ll be back to business.
