Man, if I posted a pic of my wife in a nightie up in here, I'd get a frying pan upside the head, if not shot! Your wife is a good sport!

As for the gains, just keep at it, brother. It's easy to get impatient and start worrying because you may not see improvement from day to day. I try hard not to critique myself in the mirror, to the point of consciously not even looking in the mirror, even in the gym. Then after a while you will catch a glance at yourself and say "Damn! Those muscles weren't there before!" And you get excited all over again and you work a little bit harder for the next reward.

Wow, Big John needs to go on that 5 day prison diet more often!

jdtemple · 04-01-2009, 07:18 AM

Keep it up, man. I can see some real progress there!

ardsranger · 04-01-2009, 08:05 PM

I have refined my workout, after spending alot of time reading here. I have also made some minor diet changes.

Yall guys great thanks for the help.

The biggest change I see is the right delt. It has been smaller after I had a cuff injury, they are looking pretty close to equal now and added have some growth to most area's of my torso. I do not see growth in quads yet but calves are looking much more defined.
My quads are fair from mountain biking.

MrMuscleBeach · 04-02-2009, 06:22 AM

You look much better. Im still in my progress of losing the fat around my muscles (LOL)

Nice family and dogs :-)

Baldiewonkanobi · 04-02-2009, 08:37 AM

Ards...great handsome family shot. You are setting a great example for the kid. Cool pooches.

Mr. Muscle Beach...welcome. What year did you 'earn' that Title? I won the Venice Beach Mr. Muscle Beach in 1986 and 1990. Years of gut busting work, sacrifice and dedication. I will compete again July 4th 2010 at age 70....some 45 years +/- older than the others on stage.

Hi Baldie

I never considered to compete I even was never in that area
Its a teen dream, to visit Muscle Beach.

Its one of my goals :-) to go there lift some weights and have pictures taken. Just for my ego .. and a silly teen dream to be come true
http://www.MrMuscleBeach.com I own that domain I though some time ago I should do something with it

now I do. I write my own blog and progress on it. IM VERY FAR AWAY FROM BEING MR MUSCLE BEACH. I never considered to compete........ ( would be cool to have the domain and title )

I admire you that you did get that title.
