Crikey! What an amazing transformation! Just goes to show what can be done when one sets one mind to it.

I wouldn't be worrying about cutting fluff. Just clean up the food/ a little more cardio if you like and keep gaining.
Lets get some forearm pics going:

My grandma was the worst, when eating something she has made I think I can almost feel the fat being absorbed into my belly as I eat!
Thanks for that as well, I'll read into that later on. Thanks again
Nice forearm - what does it measure then?
Well, it's been a while since I posted a progress shot and frankly, after taking one literally minutes ago, I see no real improvements comparing it against the one I posted in July. I stopped any sort of training for a period of almost 2 months which was gutting as I'm only starting to pick things back up again.
Ignore the 'look', I'm pretty knackered - not long home.
..and yes, the moody face is my general expression!

Looking good mate, very lean.
Is that where you want to be now? Or are you still hoping to get a little bigger?

Woah, looks a beast that Dun!
Ideally I'd love to get a fair bit bigger, particularly my chest and legs as with both I'm far from happy. From that photo, you can see my upper chest is pretty much not existent with the rest being quite flat.
For months now my diet and regimes have been going down the pan, looking to get things on track again, with any luck!

Thanks mate, its over 13.5" cold right now. Might start doing some more forearm training, although my grip strength seems to have gone up a fair bit since I cut forearm isolation work.

Amazing
That is pretty phenomenal! I'm sitting at about 14", but I seldom do much forearm work, I tend to do a lot of heavy compounds that need grip strength so it just builds from there.

What a forearm!
What a forearm!
Cheers for the comments on my pics guys
Morba - Know what you mean mate but I really have a goal in mind before I start clean bulking and I'm not there yet. If I don't hit the bodyfat level now then I'll always have it in the back of my mind when gaining weight again. Basically I'm a stubborn *******! haha

Nice look shifty, kinda what I'm going for. Whats are your stats and what kinda weight do you lift, if you don't mind me asking?

Took some pics now..
~5 11, 12.75 stone.
At the mo I do squats, dips, chin ups, pull ups, arnold presses, some ab/core stability stuff and have just started deadlifts.
edit:
last pics:
Main improvements I feel are my legs - proper annoying now since my inner thighs touch - it's kinda waxed a patch of hair on each leg, and I've had to buy new boxer shorts as some of my old ones didn't stretch and I couldn't actually get them around my thighs..
, also my chest is better imo and general improvements.
Think I've put on approx 0.75 stone and what looks like minimal fat, so no massive gains.
EDIT edit: lol just saw the difference between my backs/shoulders. HAPPY!

First post here but seems there is a lot of guys here who know there stuff so here goes.
Im 24 years old.
5,11"
Weigh just over 150lbs.
Iv always been able to eat whatever i wanted and not put on any weight. Iv been a bricklayer since i left school which was very psychical work at times which has maybe kept me slim but i was banned from driving last year which put me outa work. I dont live near a gym but as iv been outa work i feel i need to keep fit and build up. I take multi vitimins and cod liver oil daily and also creatine and protein daily.
I work out every other day at home by doing press ups, sit ups, pull ups and idk what there called but holding myself hanging above a stairwell and slowly lowering myself down and pushing back up.
Anyway i have noticed my stomach become more defind. I dont have hardly any fat on my body but struggle to bulk up and add more muscle. I wanna build up my upper body really but not really bulking up much.
Im putting this down to my diet as some days i dont eat a lot and when i do its often not healthy. I cannot afford to be having steaks that often but what would be key foods to eat often and key foods to avoid?
Also are there other exercises i should do and maybe go running? As i said i dont feel like i need to lose any fat.
