just for fun, here's shots from when i first started training. Full set of progress shots in my bodyspace.

much appreciated, improvements come a bit slower than I'd like, but they do come. Any constructive suggestions/feedback on path to continue to do so appreciated.

My workout schedule includes a...

these shots taken last week, now at 180 @ 11.7%.

No leg shots to show, thighs are at 24", still working on 'em, and calves are just ok.

Happy with other stats, got 28 pullups recently and 80...

Then cut a lot for summer, down to 172 @ 9.7%

My bodyspace tells the whole story...I'm 43, 5'8, training very seriously in August 05. Have been doing cleans and deadlifts a lot since beginning of the year and think it's made a difference, would...

Yup, started cutting already--feels good, I'm looking forward to getting leaner and seeing my abs again.



So--what's everyone's take on this? I've thought about it a lot, and I bet it would...

guess i should expect that response, given that lots here are less than 1/2 my age--but I'm prematurely gray--and I think a guy dying his hair to look younger looks worse, lol.

I'm an ancient 43 years old--but seems like I can keep up with the young folk with my lifts...

Yeah--i gotta be careful, even after a few days I feel like I've lost more than I should, I find it really hard to get the calories in that I need when I have to cut carbs in the afternoon.

thanks guys, Jimmy, you've made some amazing progress, hoping that continues for you. Legolas, i have had some shoulder pain recently--any suggestions how to deal with this?
thanks- Mike

jeez, ok, i'm prematurely gray, but i'm 42 (43 next month)...but 70? I'd be lookin pretty amazing for that age. :)

anyhow, thanks for comments. about shaving, it's been an ongoing back and forth...

thanks guys--guess i should take the "natural" question as a compliment! taken lots of whey and No2 supps, though. Funny-I dont look at myself and think about my age, i just think about how far I've...

thought i'd post a nice set of progress shots my trainer put together since we started an aggressive program back in July '05. Interested in comments, particularly about last set of pix from July...

i'm nearing my two year anniversary--really cool to see how much more progress you made in your third year. congrats!!

all your comments much appreciated. Since you gotta have some goals...would like to end up around 175 or so bringing bodyfat down to 10-11% if I can. On Friday after a full chest workout, I got 275...

dunno what these are called...my trainer had me do 'em :)

Here's my progress in around 1.5 years. Now around 180lbs, 13%bf, heaviest I've been. Have a herniated disc, so just now starting deadlifts (VERY LIGHT), and free squats and having no problems with...
