Amazing physique! Great shoulders, arms and forearms, and stunning shoulder to hip ratio!
Well, not quite what I hoped, but still leaner than Iāve ever been. I started in February, after vacationing in January. Iāll keep cutting after this too. Have some more weight to drop for my goals. I learned a lot the last 4 months, particularly, how to eat well despite traveling 3-4 days a week and eating out 90% of your meals.
Pretty happy with the results overall. Still a lot of work to be done over the years, but Iām pleased with the revelation that approaching nutrition in a (mostly) disciplined way really does make a huge difference. Was on a surplus since last September, got up to about 90 kg, and at the end of the deficit since late April am weighing in at 80.5 kg. Great job this year everyone!
Great progress folks!! Thanks for organizing this @Chris_Colucci
hereĀ“s my result:
Starting weight 89.2kg / 196.6 lbs down to 81.5kg / 179,6 lbs

Still way to go but am definitelly happy with the progress made so far.
Key achievments:
- went from 3x5 chins and dips to 8x8 supersets - āadvancedā level as per Tip: 200 Reps for a Complete Upper Body
- finally added cardio. had been avoiding this for years, this challenge helped a lot in getting me started
- love handles around hips, especially when looking at the back, are gone
- arms grew thanks to chins and dips
looking forward to the 2020 challenge 
Your front transformation is awesome but the back, dudeā¦ I donāt think anyone in here has you beat from that angle.
Another T-ransformation Season in the Books! Before and after pics below.
Here are the numbers:
January 1, 2019
age: 51.5
height: 66"
weight: 157.4 lbs
waist: 34"
neck: 15.5"
estimated BF (Navy calc): 18%-20%
wrist: 6.5"
bicep (flexed): 14"
thigh: 22.5"
chest circumference: 37"
shoulder circumference: 46"
June 1, 2019
age: 52
height: 66"
weight: 146.4 lbs
waist: 32"
neck: 15.5"
estimated BF (Navy calc): 13-14%
wrist: 6.5"
bicep (flexed): 14.5"
thigh: 21.5
chest circumference: 37.5"
shoulder circumference: 47"
Not the most dramatic transformation in the world, but definitely on the road toward something better - hopefully by August. Want to get BF around 10%, which probably means another inch off the waist line and a bodyweight closer to 140 than 145, I suspect.
Given the weight loss, Iām pretty happy with my upper body mass gains. This was my main goal for the first half of the year doing CTās 20 Pounds of Hollywood/Superhero Muscle program (after six weeks of 5/3/1 Rest Pause Challenge to start the year). Lost 11 pounds, but added a half inch on my upper arms and chest circumference, and an inch to shoulder circumference.
Will spend the rest of the summer doing 3x/week full body workouts to help bring my legs up to speed with everything else. That and tons more of cardio - which helped tremendously in creating the daily caloric deficit that allowed me to eat to fuel what gains Iāve gotten so far.
Looking forward to the August check in!
P.S. The seafood breakfast buffet at Saltyās was magnificent! A plate of salmon, a plate of clams, a plate of oysters, and a plate of mussels. And a birthday breakfast doughnut for good measure!
Thatās some very high pants there. Nice work though !
If youāre talking about the waist, I have a very short torso. If youāre talking about the length of the shorts, itās to over compensate for the bird-like nature of my ankles
I was thinking waist. But who am I to judge 
If I wore pants at the top of my hipbone, itās a full 3 inches below the start of my butt on the backside. Iād need the pants to stay perfectly in place to avoid being labeled as a plumber. Instead, I go for the grandpa style and hike things up.
Thatās an amazing transformation man! You went from soft to shredded in no time at all! Youāve got my vote!
I submitted mine back in March. Here they are again to make finding them easier @Chris_Colucci
I would like to congratulate all who finished! Spending a good chunk of time grinding away at some self improvement isnāt easy and you are all stronger for it. Way to go!
Before 173
After upper body 160
After lower body 160
