Hehe! Sorry man, you're still lifting more than me so wouldn't worry
Won't be having the luxury for much longer if I have anything to do with it

Well I've completely changed over the last year or so.
It's been a fantastic year for me, but very disruptive to my exercise life. I've been eating well, and exercising furiously as and when I can, but definitely no regular training - it's been sporadic, some weeks I'd go 3-4 times a week, then some weeks, just the once, and sometimes have a week or two with no training.
I'm down to around 14st 7lbs!!!! I haven't been that light in about 8 years.
Dimensions are now as follows:
Neck: 17"
Upper Arm: 17"
Thigh: 26"
Waist: 33"
Chest: 44.5"
Compared to my bigest @ 16st 4lbs:
Neck: 18"
Upper arm: 19"+
Thigh: 27.5"
Waist: 37"
Chest: 47.5"
Heck of a difference! Still got a fair bit of strength, though nowhere near my 1RMs at the moment. All my lifts are about 10% shy, though squats possibly a little more
I'm now focusing on hardening up what I've got left, and perhaps slowly get myself back up to 15st, but dropping another 1% BF. Going to get myself measured again before Christmas to see how I'm doing.

Niiiiiiiiiiiice.
Bet you still like a hench mofo regardless of the sporadic training!

Cheers Delvis thanks for that. The letter is dated the fourth of november, so hopefully won't be to long.
It's cool.
So are you waiting for them to give you an appoitment? Or have you got to go online and book it yourself?
Man of Honour
Well, I dunno, I have days where I think I look "ok" and others where I just feel skinny. It's cheaper to feed myself though! lol!
Good work Freefaller, I know I'd personally lose a little strength to get more normal stats like you have now. Chicks dig the better definition look anyway.
Mine prefers me as I am now and thought I was "too big" before. I'll pack on a little muscle again once I get back into a rythmn - I'm just lucky that I tailored my diet to suit my activity levels, and HIIT really helps a lot too.

I can sort of see what he means - his "new measurements" are pretty much same as mine except that he's a bicep monkey with arms that are half an inch bigger.
Damn you genetics!
but yea, it's how we perceive ourselves. Looking at those gym mirrors with excellent lighting when fully pump makes me think things are pretty good, sometimes though I think I'm really skinny (a bit fat tho) even though I'm just shy of 15 stone.

I need to continue my cut for a few more weeks, get the abs back out, then I'll hoy up some comparrison pics. I'll be gobsmacked if there's not a difference.

Pfft, you just posted that, could have taken a picture then!
PFFT!
PFFFFFFFFFFFT!

It's really irritating! I'm lucky I normally wear a tshirt under shirts on nights out so I can find something that fits my waist and leave the chest undone.
Formal shirts make me sad
Caporegime
The letter says that they will be contacting me.
K...Hopefully they give you an appointment to confirm rather than you getting a referral letter saying you need to log in and book an appointment
Soldato
well time to go home and destroy my back doing Deadlifts!
