Aye well done Cheets, a definite improvement

To be honest mate, if you want to go out every so often and have a drink, and have 'cheat' meals, do it, it's entirely up to you, as long as YOU are happy with the results you are getting then it's fair game I say

Yeah, I have been dedicated in the week but had fun mainly weekends while doing weight routine/cardio, its been fun getting back into shape and lifting weights. In 3 months I hope to look more defined and bigger.

Took a pic outside, think I look a lot better in natural light.

Those 3/4 pants are way to small for me, need to get my abs coming out ffs

Morning people I have a question. I'm not quite sure if I'm just looking at it through rose tinted glasses or whether there is a disernable difference between these 2 sets of pics so would like your opinion.
Old on the left, new on right.

I think you have lost weight. Around you neck/face and waist line look quite clear to me.

yes, lighting can make a huge difference on how anyone looks.

Yep.

I think it's most obvious around the "love handles" in the back shot.

Think the lats have flared slightely, could be posing, but good otherwise

tom_e · 11 Jul 2011 at 02:00

Cheers guys I took the current ones this morning and discovered I had only taken the last ones 10days ago and didn't believe there could have been any real difference so wanted some outsiders opinions

Some beter pics than last time. Suntans always make you look beter! Been on holiday last week and half... no more cutting this year, back on higher cals from now on..will post again next year for comparison see if I can get bigger and leaner, pretty happy with the BF level just now though considering the icecream dosage last few weeks

Weird thing though...eating a lot more rubbish than I have been last few months hasnt made much difference. Box's of pringles all the way from now on

(I wish)

That's a pretty sick back Toxic, but you appear to have some blue poo on your bar you might want to wipe it off before you do your squats

toxic · 16 Jul 2011 at 15:05

LOL...I use it when squating at home. Torn rotator cuff and popped AC joint both about 2 1/2 years ago, both I think from squating still gives me some discomfort...so Id rather still squat than not

When Im not training at home..I dont use so I probably dont need it at all now TBH
repeat injuries still worries me a bit though as they were both so sore for such a long time.

How quickly can your biceps grow without the use of substances because i've grown to 15.75" since posting my original size of 15.2" on the 27th June.. and thats without an intense routine.

Cristian · 17 Jul 2011 at 04:14

that is "initial noob gains".
after the first year the growth rate is ridiculously slow.

kai · 19 Jul 2011 at 20:32

Well i am one month away from the 2 year mark when i stepped into the gym for the first time and was unable to do one push up

Fairly happy with progress so far; just a bit annoyed the gym lighting in the changing room makes me look a lot bigger; a lot more defined - soon as i get home take some photo's they dont look that good. *honestly i actually do have ABS

Messiah Khan · 19 Jul 2011 at 20:42

Still looking pretty ripped there though Kai. Do you ave any 'before' pics, from 2 years ago?

I showed this orginal a few times actually when starting out and progressing; so here is 23 months of work.

Freefaller · 19 Jul 2011 at 21:43

Huge progress in 2 years. It's amazing what a relatively short period of time can achieve.

Skillmister · 19 Jul 2011 at 22:19

Impressive change kai

GarethSouthgate · 19 Jul 2011 at 22:23

Nice work there Kai! I'm basically where you were 2 years ago.

Annoyingly I was in the gym 2 years ago, in fact, I remember seeing your posts in this section!

Fail on my behalf!

Buffman · 19 Jul 2011 at 22:32

Nice pics kai. I also just had a look at how I've changed in 2 years and its quite impressive!

Recently been letting myself eat too much crap and drinking a lot over the last few weeks and starting to lose my abs so I'm starting a strict cut starting now

. Should see me go from current ~90kg back to a reasonably lean 85. This time I might see if I can push down from the comfortable 85 barrier down to ultra lean levels

Broken ribs make my weight set feel sad

Also...

Does he not realise it makes his trousersnake look tiny by comparison? Hell, those legs make his head look small!

Can't wait to get healed, seems like everytime i get into it i break an important bone

Been a long time recovering, i'm finally at the point where doing anything physical doesn't result in a stiff back for 2-3 days. Still get aches for 4-8 hours after but i can live with that. I've just had a friend move in with me and the mrs who is wanting to do some trianing so i have some motivation to go bigger now i have a spotter/rival while i'm in the garage.

The bad news is though that if anything i've gotten smaller again. Gonna be some hard work ahead now. Got the diet planned out a bit better and i'm looking to make some real gains now.

Heres to a good summer, and hopefully not another injury through riding

Kazz · 21 Jul 2011 at 11:52

Nice work Kai, looking great, gives me some motivation

.

Can I ask what your height and starting weight were? Seem to have a similar build to me now (first pic, gym noob here).
