I'm not fat I'm just big boned. Actually I have disgusting stretch marks down my biceps and thighs from when I lifted before. None on my belly though.
This is my base line without lifting weights. I'm down 10 lbs actually from the other pic from doing a lot of cardio. Another 2 months and I should have my 6-pack back (starting to peak through the chub). Then 12 months of lifting after that and I should be in stretch mark territory again. It's still a bit gay though IMO.
I just don't get the whole body building thing, the only people who appreciate it are other guys, and the only women who appreciate it are the run of the mill troggladites with half a brain cell.
Then again, if your a male stripper earning £2k a night go for it
