Took a progress pic today....31 years old, 5'8" @ 176lbs

Been working out on and off all my life since middle school, so training is nothing new. I've just been more serious and dedicated in the last few years as I become more educated about training and nutrition. Plus, being a personal trainer for a living, I owe it to myself and clients to practice what I preach when they spend upwards of $80 to $100 a session.

Been trying to focus on bulking up since the beginning of the year. First pic was taken 12/24/06 at about mid/high 160lbs. I've always had great muscle shape and symmetry, even at a leaner weight. I was happy at that weight for a long time, but made a resolution for 2007 to gain more muscle mass.

Second pic was taken today (4/1/07) at 176lbs. My goal is to hit 180lbs and drop my bodyfat into the single digits. Basically, I want to be as symmetrical with athletic and classic lines a 5'8" person can be at 180lbs. I could easily bulk up to even a heavier weight, but I'd rather stay somewhat lighter and be quicker and more agile for sports as I don't plan on competing in a BB show.

Here are the pics....hopefully not too bad for a 31 year old dude.

ChickenTuna · 04-03-2007, 09:45 AM

you are looking incredible outlaw!!

JayWesson1 · 04-03-2007, 10:00 AM

Looking good man. Arms are impressive. I think if you put on a bit more mass on your chest and shoulders when you drop into single digits BF wise you will look really good. Good luck!
