**Transformations from skinny to mass pics*** (post them everybody)

[QUOTE=Tafrench;909157443]I am a 40 years old. I have a full time job as an attorney and work constantly. I also have two children. My son who is eight plays football and baseball, which takes up the majority of my free time. I also have a fourteen year old daughter who is a competitive cheerleader who travels all the time for competitions. I literally have a few precious minutes in the gym each day (usually around lunch, if Court allows). This is the progress I have made. Any input would greatly be appreciated.

2 before and 2 after

My first 10 months of working out

[QUOTE=Jackojohn;912408613]My first 10 months of working out[/QUOTE]

You got bigger, but sorry to say it, but it doesn't look like you gained so much muscles. Almost no progress on chest from your 1. to 2. pic. How was your diet? The arms are solid, but think you should cut now so you don't have that much fat to struggle with

My diet was awful for the first 6 months but this spring i learned that i have to eat more. Yea i know i have crappy chest genes but my chest workout weights have raised a lot! Maybe the cut is not the best choice for now because i don't want to slow down my muscles growth?

My profile for more pics.
I am not "mass" yet. I consider myself quite small and until I don't pack some more mass, I still am not worthy of the word "mass". :P

[QUOTE=FrozenSynapse;912286243]You bench 300 lbs?[/QUOTE]
yessir, and yes, i will post a picture/video of it my next max day. im ex-military and my chest developed rather properly. should also insert that its not a free bar, its some stupid machine with an olympic size bar that has locks and catches. not 3 dimentional, so their isnt balance involved. ****in cheater, but tis all we go up here for now

Ah, that would explain it...what you're describing is a Smith machine.

Nice work Squeeks

[QUOTE=tredgti;912273303]once i can post pics up i will here first. went from 134 to 154 (todays weight) since Feb 2012 and benching 300 lbs[/QUOTE]

300lbs? srs? your a sick kunt if you can bench 2xs your bodyweight no doubt about it

That's it, 300 on the Smith machine. The owner of the gym said she can't have free bars because of insurance reasons, but next tine i hit my buddies house in Syracuse I'm going to see what it is with a free bar. And i know, people who don't lift can't even bench their own body weight. I was a bit of a trouble maker in the army, so i was frequently doing push UPS, lol. I started to get cockier and started challenging my NCOs to push with me, after i already did a hundred. Needless to say, i always maxed my push UPS and sit UPS on every PT test. Can't smoke a rock brah

You won't be able to bench 300lbs on free weights. The only advantage to using a Smith machine to bench heavy is its safer especially if your working out alone.

In almost one month from 71kg close to 80kg by starting strength + Gomad and paleo on LEANGAINS (2600kcal from paleo 2400 from milk 3,2%)

Ye but your muscles is all covered by fat. I would cut down now if I was you. If you really want to bulk more, please do. But consider to cut it down soon.

Okay the first is back in 2009, I was 18 at about 6 ft 165lbs... Skinny
The second is in winter of 2010, at 18, about 6 ft 1 in 180lbs (college/Newbie gains).
the last few are current (July of 2012). I'm now 21 and 197lbs about 7-8% bodyfat.
Hope you appreciate.

The first couple and last pic are current, the third is 2009, the fourth is 2010.
