Have rewarded myself for going 2 months straight without skipping gym or diet, with a bit of a cheat weekend and 1 day off the gym. Hopefully it gives my kidneys a bit of a rest also, blood test results indicated an overactive kidney so doc said to cut back a little on the protein.

Anyways, will be starting 5x5 tomorrow, but here's some progress pics for your critique. I'm content with the results from 2 months, considering it was only 3 exercises per gym day! Want to load up on exercises a little more, so hopefully 5x5 does that. From Rippetoe, I learn that compound exercises are king!

07-may-16-rippetoe-finish.jpg shows shoulder development on the left, chest development on the right, at the end of rippetoe.
07-apr-25.jpg shows back development
07-mar-27start_x.jpg shows the day i began rippetoe.

I still need to cut back on bodyfat. Not really sure what bf I'm at atm, any estimates?

LOL kinda got lazy with the logging, but i've been going non-stop to the gym, 3 times a week without fail, for 6 months... and eating a very clean diet.

i'm quite happy with my progress and i've been concentrating on my sports for more cardio to cut up for this summer (i'm in australia)

i'm leaner, lighter, yet stronger, and i've actually been eating less lately.. my progress has slowed, but like i said, i'm aiming to cut up... after summer is over, time to eat big again. i can actually see slight abs in the morning without sucking it in and my stomach is flat for most of the day now except after a big meal :P

Some progress pics after 10 months at the gym at 67.5kg.

Chest and shoulders need a fair bit more work as they are rather underdeveloped.
