S7yl3s, you're always one of the first to offer helpfull advice on here and seem to know your stuff. Curious to know what kind of shape you're in.
Don't be shy, get your pic up man! No excuses either
You'll find no excuses here matey
I can give you a quick picture I just taken in the mirror, and I'm no photographer, clearly.
A quick background first. I trained hard a few years back, but stopped for a shocking 3 years mainly due to moving house, and everything in my life changing. I dropped to a measly 140lbs, felt terrible and looked horrific. Always retained a healthly amount of strength though.
Decided 11 months back to get back into training and hit it hard. With the right training and knowledge you can go anywhere. During the 3 years I was out I never stopped reading about BB and training and I'm very glad I never did. When I used to train I tried most training methods and for me personally, the split worked the best. Alternate between 3 and a 5 day depending on stages.
Well I've been training 11 months again now, injury free and with no hassle and I'm back up to about 170-172lbs cut and about 180lbs on a normal day.
I don't really know all my stats off hand but I can give you,
Height: 5'9"
Current Weight (Cut): 170-172lbs
Biceps(Arms): 16"
Chest: About 43-44" I believe
Thighs: About 24"
Waist: 32"
That's about it off the top of my head.
Best lifts sit at:
Bench: 136K
Squat: 175K
Dead: 170Kish
Looking to increase all of them by the end of this year, whilst packing on some quality mass. I plan to be 182lbs cut in 12 months, Quality mass. Hit up to 200 in time. Most of my knowledge and experiences comes from when I was lifting before. I've also had the help of some very experienced BB and one extrememly helpful Pro.
It's a long hard road back, but I'm satisfied with my progress so far. It's odd looking at pictures of myself now as there's so much I'd like to bring up but it just takes time. I'll give you another picture in 12 months.
lol
