LOL nice timing, I was just gonna come here and tell you to stop taking progress pictures so soon, but more on that in a second…
I actually DO see a difference in your front AND back, and your measurements, if accurate, are insane. Inch on the bicep? Shit, we’ll take it. Good going over all.
What is your weight now?
JUST KEEP IT UP. You are going in the right direction, so keep putting one foot in front of the other, day in, day out, doing what you need to do each and every day and soon you’ll be where you want to be.
My comment about taking pictures and looking in the mirror and measuring progress through visual means has to do with the relatively slow changes that will occur for a while until your body fat is lower.
Some people get so hung up on looking in the mirror and taking pictures so often that when they can’t see a big enough change it can mess with their head and they start second guessing their approach and change things and fuck shit up, or stop entirely.
You don’t sound to be doing that, though, and sound pretty happy with your results (you should be) especually your measurements so that’s good.
You’ve done great so far, you just need to keep doing what you’re doing for a few months and you’ll have an entirely different physique and it’ll probably be pretty life changing, in all honesty.
Not to get into too much a a long windbag diatribe here but I think guys like you are who Shugart is writing about a lot of the times, guys who have some muscle but don’t have the best body composition, meaning you have more fat than you should for the amount of muscle you’re carrying.
I’ve been there myself and its pretty fucking awesome when you finally lose that shit and have an impressive physique. Get lean, enjoy it, and then plan your attack for getting bigger and stronger while hopefully keeping fat gains to only what they need to be.
Good work man, keep your nose to the grindstone.[/quote]
Nose is firmly on the grindstone.
I just got through an entire st patricks day without drinking and i was working in a bar for 5 hours aswell. If i can do that, i can do anything.
Inch on the gyuns suprised me, I dont really do any bicep work , except maybe the odd set of hammer curls at the end of back day now and again. Might start putting a little but of work into them and see if i actually work on them if they will grow more.
The measurements overall are roughly over a 3 month period. So not awesome, but ok. 2 inchs on calfs aswell, i dont do any direct calf work.
On another note, my shoulder stood up to powercleans today so i think its good to go back to bench at the end of the week and overheads next week.
Cheers for the continues support, It helps that im accountable to a few people.
