The annoying thing is he's always right :p

Going from stick insect legs to doing proper squats its like i can actually watch my legs grow, its crazy, ive put on more mass on my legs in ~6 weeks than i have on my chest for example in ~3 months.
 
I'm just curious as to how I'd look with less bodyfat - that's me as I am now, but if I shed some more bodyfat do you think I'd look more "ripped" or do I still have considerably more progress to make before I start looking so?

Oh yeah, I'm still training - I'm just curious as realistically I don't think I'll ever have lower bodyfat than that...it's just too much effort (for me personally) and I'm happy to be a bit squidgy with some muscle underneath...kinda like a Metro with an Elise engine under the bonnet :p
 
Mate, have you seen my pics? I'm higher BF than you, but have a decent amount of size so don't look squidgy :p Muscles/bulk help trick the eye into appearing more "cut".

Little bit of progess, this is proberly the 2nd longest spell ive had at the gym, a whole 8 weeks constant lol

I need to work on my taper though, but I feel now I have a better diet im starting to fill out some more. Certainly feel I am carrying more weight then before.

Trouble is I get disheartened so easily and today after training felt awful! Was so tired today my training session was horrible, and if my weights dont go up or I find it particulary difficult one day then I start to loose hope!

I got 2 weeks off work coming up starting from next monday so no work means I can eat well and hopefully train harder due to more energy and better recovery. If I can keep going for maybe another 8 weeks solid now I think ill see a bit more progress so might feel a bit better about it :)

Did hit a PB of 80kg on squat last week, think it was a bit shakey the last set so I shall stick at it again and make sure I nail it properly next time! Glad to have 2 plates each side now though :p

Do you know what BF % you are? And if so, could you estimate as to what I may be?

I train and teach a total of 6 times a week (Karate), so I do CV without even noticing and I do eat healthily - no chips, takeaways, crisps, cakes etc. However I just seem to get that totally flat belly. I don't carry fat anywhere else really, maybe a bit on the chest, but my main area for fat storing is my "pooch" around my belly button.
 
I'm about 13.4-13.5% at the moment which I guess I still am when I was measured which was about a month ago.

Those are my old pics, I've put on about 3/4 more lbs since then. And cut a bit more, but I guess I'm not too far off what I looked like.

I'd say you're around 11-12% but it's hard to tell without knowing your height.

Thanks :)

MY stats now (which have increased since those pics):

Still 6'1"
Chest: Just about 47"
Bicep: Still at 17.5"
Waist: 35"
Thigh: Just over 27"
Calf: Just under 17"
Neck: 18.1"

Weight, 98.5kg dry (i.e. first thing in the morning after all ablutions)...

Though at the end of the day I'm knocking on 100kg :cool:
 
I'm 5ft 11" and currently weigh 12st 8lbs if that helps.
You're seriously packing some muscle there Freefaller, it amazes me that I never noticed at the last RR day.

The most impressive part is he's done it in around 18 months.

I think it'd be a good idea if everyone stated how long they'd been training along with their pics. It puts things into perspective so people can compare their own progress.
 
Well I've put on quite a bit of size since the RR day :) Also I dress subtly, I'm not much of a show off... says he posting pics of himself! lol! I'm packing more on every week - well trying to at any rate! ;)

I've definitely bulked out a bit more since those pics, but can't be bothered to take pics tonight - might do over the weekend.

AS for you, I'd say probably 11.3% making a guess your waist is about 32"?
