How is my initial progress?

[CallMeBarron]

Hey guys, I made the decision to turn my life around after my senior year of football. I started, but only because my team wasn't that successful. On November 15, 2012 I made the choice to begin lifting and dieting. Currently I am 197 pounds up from 179 and have taken my bodyfat from 17% or so percent down to 15-16%. So for November 5-Jan 15 how am I doing?

That's a great bulk my friend. It looks like you've actually increased your bf% but also increased your muscle mass

[tylersdoinit]

got those ed hardy traps

no way your bf is 12% tho looks like its still 17% but with more muscle mass

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Agree with above poster, looks like you're bodyfat has increased, but in a good way. All in all, much broader and some really solid progress mate. Traps especially are coming on nicely. Keep it up brother.

Thanks for the comment! I'm going to go for around 10 more lbs of initial muscle I think and then look to begin to cut.

You're doing great man. Looking broad and shaping up. Keep training hard! Definitely makes a difference! What are your goals and aim? Just keep driving through man you can do it!

My current goal is to get around 10-15 more pounds of muscle mass and then look to start cutting. I need to make sure I am staying in rugby form as well because I will be playing in college this coming year. So in essence, I want to improve the aesthetic portion as well as my performance.
