Road to the BNBF Welsh Qualifiers 2011 - Progess Journal

Cheers big man :)

My front shot isn't as impressive looking at the moment, my upper arms seem to hold a lot more fat so hoping that comes out soon. And need my waist to come in more to get the proper effect of width.

Love handles :(

More to the point though, you back in the gym yet?
 
Good improvement in your back and a much less bloaty stomach. Hopefully in those 14 weeks you'll start shredding fat off :).

Hows cardio/calories looking just now, and any changes expected in further weeks?
 
Cardio is 10 minutes end of every weights session on the cross trainer, then 3 times a week I do 30 minutes cardio

Calories are around the 2200 mark, as I recently lowered the carbs. Will lower again as soon as weight slows down again
 
Well noticed a sign at the gym this morning saying the scales have been recalibrated and that unfortunately they have been +/- 2kg out since the last calibration at Christmas last year.

So that either means I weighed 2kg more than I originally started, or my weight loss hasn't been as quick as I've been led to believe

Will be interesting when I weigh myself at the end of the week :(
 
Surely your rate of loss wont have changed the weight might just be a bit out, its just an arbitrary number at the end of the day its obvious you're making some good progress
 
We found some scales at my gym that are accurate to 100g and are spot on. They were hidden in the cupboard for the boxing club :). Makes a change from the ones that tell you a different weight each time :)

Hey just found this thread, looking good in the latest shots dude, think I can see ribs in the front pose. Gives me more inspiration to start training again, as a combination of work and uni at the same time has taken All my time. Good luck with the cut
 
Hey guys

Sorry, haven't updated this in a while. I haven't been slacking off or cheating. Quite the contrary

I've lost 2.5kg since my last update, will post pics tonight

We are now into the half way stage, 10 weeks to go! :eek:
 
Are those stretch marks on your biceps mate? Also your right arm looks a lot bigger than the left one on that photo for some reason! :eek: :p

Yeah stretch marks :(

I know, my bicep peak on my right arm (photo left) is a lot better than my left. However measurement wise, there's only just less than 1/4" in it.

To be fair my rubbish posing doesn't help. But I've not wanted to change the poses for progress pics so it's a consistent feel all the way through and changes are easier to see
