Taken a few moments ago, not bad for working 3 night shifts on the trot!

Hope nobody minds, but I lowered the entrance bar to the ground and stepped over it.

Photo is from last Monday, taken for 7 1/2 month progress shots. The first time in recorded history that I've had anything even remotely resembling muscles on my legs.

now your talking woman...keep on a going

This weekend. I'm a little shrimp. Been trying to get rid of fat that was built up from getting in a funk for a year and slacking. At this point I dipped down into the 150's. I'm 6-0. I think its time to start eating again. lol

The only time I have liked a Patriots jersey

Dropping the squat box from 18" to 5" meant dropping well over 100lbs from my squat and swallowing a lot of pride but I'm very happy I started this journey. I've also dropped nearly 40lbs of BW in the last five months.

[DubfromGA]

Taken this morning.









Funny how when I started lifting last year my left arm seemed so weak. I am grateful that it's coming along. Gotta be careful to safeguard the elbow.

I love all your pics Kim, but this one is saucy!

Here's a quick vid from today. A pull-up PR. I switched to neutral grip because I feel it in my lats more. I know that's not the case for most, but seems to be for me.

[Iceman1800]

I am just about two weeks out from my July PL comp and I'm slowly upping the weight and lowering the reps. Did this set on Wednesday. I haven't been able to do any new deadlifting due to the unbelievably sore legs I came away with after my last workout. lol I may start to back off a little this next week and then rest the whole week before the comp.

getting ready for a pl meet by squatting high? As long as you know depth in the contest that's ok

Just wondering why you use a belt for Pull ups?

Good place to hang the plates?





And props to everyone for showing how they look today, rather than just putting up pics from 5, 10, 20 years ago.

[HairyScandinavian]

Took this a couple hours ago. You see, last night I was giving myself a haircut with the #2 clippers and for the first time ever decided to hit my arms with the #2 clippers. Today was Back day and I was shocked that I could actually see some definition in my forearms. LMAO... Sry for the bad pic, I have no idea how to flex and I was in the restroom at work when I noticed and didn't want to get busted taking a pic of myself in the mirror hahahaha.

to hold the weight. The 35 plate is why it was a pr for me. I think Kane does pull ups with 135 lbs.

I don't think Kane counts. He's got hydraulics in there under all that muscle. He's a machine.

[Vytis]

My arm at work today.



I guess HR work is anabolic, lol.

[ntrllftr]

I haven't taken a photo in over a year. What the hell... Took one a few minutes ago. The extra deadliftin seems to be paying off with some much needed thickness. Truth be told when I cut some weight.

When my arm is that veiny in the bathroom theres only one reason for it.

Now if I could learn left handed.....

[induced_drag]

OK.....I dont mean to spam as I put this in my posing thread, and one on taking a week off and seeing a 50lb jump in my bench.


But this was taken tonight.....end of cut...sitting at 191 after a week of eating anything and everything. Down 15 lbs in 8 weeks.

Bulk starts Monday.

Turning up quality makes the definition show up a little better.

Do you know if you flip your hand over it feels like someone else is doing it?

lmao, hard work man! ...and that IS my left hand. (mirror flip)

My ultimate goal is mass right now. I am shooting for hitting 40 in the best shape of my life. Leaves me time for a real good bulk a followed by a nice cut.

I am fairly lean right now (veins all through my quads and even the first signs of glute striations...just abs are stubborn)....and taking it any further serves no purpose other then to assure no gains. Getting excessively lean will probably lose some mass too.

So....it is ramp up cals and try to stay as lean as I can. Last time, I managed to bulk for 5 month with only aprox 5 lbs fat gain...but adding about 10 lbs mass.

You sound like you know what you are doing as far as diet goes. Diet is what I need to improve on. I thought about hiring a nutritionist, most likely I won't though.
