my journey from fat to busted (ongoing)

8146 · 04-25-2008, 11:01 AM

Three years ago, I was 140kgs (~310 pounds).

Dropped down to 81 kgs (~175 pounds), in less than a year. At this point I was a skinny fat/loose skin mummy.

Last two years I gained ~35-40 pounds on the 81 kgs.

Just finished a 16 week bulk (first ?bulk?) went from 95 kilograms to 98 kilograms.
Eating 4.2kcals per day.

Pics are on my bodyspace.

During these 16 weeks I have experienced some injuries:
- Elbows starting hurting from dipping to heavy (ate more fat, went away)
- Hammered my shoulder, was restricted for a while from doing heavy chest/shoulder presses. Still am in some way.
- Right knee caved in on the 4th rep of a heavy squat, major discomfort while squatting. Need to get it checked out and get an MRI done.
-
Not excuses at all!

Any suggestions and criticisms are appreciated. My goals are to bring up my chest and continually improving and learning. Would like to hit 100kgs at 8-10% body fat.

I have been keeping a regular journal on bb.com so my diet and training are all in there. First post of my journal shows a more detailed history of what I got up to etc.

One of the biggest mistakes ever, not going slowly etc. Lost all the weight, including lots and lots of muscle... ;/ Oh well, live and learn.

Anyone?

good work mate, back looks great, arms much more fuller.. rear delt has come up well too.

Thanks man. Yeah since the shoulder injury I had to limit the weight and introduce s/sets and d/sets, volume has worked.

Anyone else?

thanks mate, from melb.

PhillyBoy7 · 11-01-2008, 06:08 PM

Good work so far, I say bulk for a while longer since ur bf doesnt look too bad then cut nasty. Some additional trap work wouldnt hurt def hit them chest good like u said, but overall good stuff

8146 · 11-02-2008, 01:06 PM

fair enough, thanks mate. plan was to bulk another 5-6 months. right now its getting hotter and hotter in australia, summer is approaching. and i just cbf eating heh.

chest is a major weak point, in boths terms of size and strenght.

8146 · 11-04-2008, 02:27 AM

final bump, see you in 4-5 months!

8146 · 12-01-2008, 01:13 AM

hasn't been 4-5 months, but had a couple of weeks off for work trip, progress

William2003 · 12-01-2008, 02:19 AM

Looking great.

8146 · 01-27-2009, 02:32 AM

guys, quick update, 108 kgs or so in these pics, sorry about the cam, new phone, it's a hunk of crap!

happy with the progress so far, feeling a bit heavy and bloated, a lot of food being consumed.

anyway, think i got a fair bit more to bulk, not getting any fatter/bf% going up, summer is almost over, i'll see if i can keep going until june/july or so.

comments/criticisms... go nuts.

gained 4 kgs from last photos.

8146 · 01-27-2009, 11:40 PM

dvbuilder · 01-28-2009, 12:10 AM

incredible transformation but give us a picture that shows something..

xBODOMx · 01-28-2009, 01:25 AM

Can you take a full picture of your torso and stomach. I'm down from 340 to 190, in a year. Wondering what your stomach looks like / skin etc.
