4 Months training - whole year ahead

[In666Flames]

Hi, I just thought I'd post some pics just because I'm happy with the transformation I've had in a relatively quick amount of time. I really enjoy lifting, and i'm gonna clean bulk all year, or untill I start looking pudgy, whatever comes first.

Heres me on the 1st of September 08. Weight 168


Heres a pic of me today (2nd Jan 09) Weight 166


and legs


I'm not looking huge...yet. I still need to grow and I'm mainly training with compound movements. Some areas may be lacking,, but I'm gonna train the body as a unit because I'm still too small to worry about lacking parts. Any comments or critique would be greatly appreciated. I wish everyone happy gains for 2009

Looking ripped man.

Cheers for the replys. My main lifts have been: bench 90kg 3x5, squat 120kg 3x5 and deadlift 150 3x5. I'm aiming to get those figures up, and i'm still managing to increase the weight weekly.

How tall are you?

What were your starting lifts?

Im 5'9. Starting lifts were 40kg Bench, 50kg squat (although I wasn't quite confident to lift any more without learning good form), and 80 kg deadlift, all using a rep scheme of 3x8 at the time. To start with I overtrained for the stage I was at by doing a lot of pointless lifts with 1 hour plus gym sessions and cardio on off days, hence I lost a lot of body fat. I very quickly learned, mainly from reading certain articles on these forums about good nutrition, rest and doing the lifts that count. Since being a little more educated i've started to put on weight every week, but I haven't really gained much fat. I'll update pics here when I feel i've made some noticable gains, hopefully in 6 months time
