Awesome progress man! How long between the two pics?

How would you describe your training style?[/quote]

I want to say that the old pic was from around '07 or so, and the New pic was from about 6 months ago. I don’t think I have much of a “style” except that it is certainly bodybuilding-inspired. Frankly, I come to this site- and others like it- simply to add variety and learn how to refine my technique or methods. I’ve never actually followed a program, diet OR workout to the “letter”…Haha, probably to my detriment. Like most members here, I’ve done my best to learn and incorporate a bit from everyone

You are not alone! Guy looks incredible.

Snapped this pic of myself yesterday - hovering around 230, down from 285 at 6’5". I’d like to believe I lost a good bit of muscle during my cut, but it’s entirely possible I was just a lot fatter than I thought. :)[/quote]

The round mirror refelcting the tap makes it look like Lanky has a set of chrome genitalia…

Let me return the compliment:

“You don’t look so lanky in that photo.”[/quote]

I was thinking the same thing. Not lanky at all!

But I was afraid it would sound like a come-on.

Oh yeah, I was hitt’n on him.

But he hit on me first on G+

It’s obvious you guys have something special and I didn’t want to interfere.

Back on topic, this thread has been on my mind since posting a pic and deciding my arms are noodly. I don’t know if there’s a discernible difference, but I’ve definitely kicked things up a notch and made strength gains. So yay.

I’m afraid you’re mistaken - Lanky does have a set of chrome genitalia and you just looked at it. Did you like it?

I take everything as a come on, even your silence. So I had already noted in my head that you were hitting on me and I was flattered, so thanks for that. :slight_smile:

That’s not Bob Saget, it’s Danny Tanner.

Thank you!

And my incessant use of fanny packs gives credence to my Danny Tanner avatar.

Checkin’ in y’all.
Not a ton of progress, since I didn’t lift in November or December, but this is after a month back in the gym. 5’10, 175-180 lbs.

Not bad, man. Were you injured during November and December?

Still planning on doing the professional photo comparison? I still think that would be really cool to see.

Nah, that’d probably be a better excuse. I moved in early December, and I had a house full of stuff to pack, then unpack. And the buyer of my old house demanded a ton of repairs that I mostly did myself. I also had several weeks of vacation in those 2 months that I was out of town, which included time that I was either snowed in at a cabin or just in the middle of nowhere (ever heard of Burwell, Nebraska?). So basically just a ton of things going on that made it difficult to get to the gym.

I’m still planning on doing the comparison. Haven’t decided if I want to get my wife to do it or her friend who’s actually a professional. It’s rather awkward either way. The pictures would probably turn out better if her friend did it. I’ve seen boudoir-style shoots her friend has done and they’ve turned out awesome, so she’s good at that type of touch-up, lighting, etc.

Yea we know Flip you bailed on the Tnation Fantasy Football league.

We all called you names

Then I felt bad cause then we thought maybe you had died.

97

lol, I didn’t actually bail until I was like 1-7. That’s easily the worst team I’ve ever fielded in a fantasy league.

Can’t wait til next season!
