Back on track.. comments?

escher007 · 06-10-2006, 07:28 AM

Well after being off track for half a year due to a sickness, and arrival of a new child, I've gotten my **** together again and am back in the swing of things. Here's where I started, and where I am now. My midsection is still garbage, and I am working on that yet. The first picture is from 2 years ago when I started lifting. Any comments, criticisms?

Dude awesome progress. Your shoulders seem really good, Do you swim by any chance?

Please go post something about my photos http://www.forum.bodybuilding.com/sh...d.php?t=815023

What are your lifts?

thanks.. I get a lot of comments about my shoulders, even though I really dont hit them as hard as say my biceps, which arent that impressive...yet. No I really dont swim much. No pool at my gym.

Looking good. Keep up the good work. Press on. Having kids definitely changes life in a major way. Keeping a journal helped me find time and stay on track.
Best to you.

yeah definitely congrats with the new baby !!! Boy or girl ?

Secondly is there a massive amount of crack smoking in your town ?? bro you look great! Upper body is really good and so is your back..the abs are competition shape but definitely good and you can see that the definition is ready to bust through. 6 months off and you look better than a lot of dudes who have been lifting for years...bro dont even think twice..you seem to be right on track btw great progress from what you were..alot of muscle and seems to be all quality

thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback.

LOL @ "crack smoking" Thanks Justaman. The new baby is a girl. #3 So I have 3 kids under 2 1/2

I almost always get my cardio in by pushing the two 2 1/2 year olds. They definitely keep my life interesting.

I had the owner of my gym give me a bf test using a handheld device, and it said 17%. I am having a hard time believing that is accurate. thoughts?

Tuff-E-Nuff · 06-19-2006, 01:28 PM

I don't see you being 17% bf at all. Try going to a nutritionist for a "real" bf testing.

Just don’t be too hard on you!
Look at your upper body, well defined, look at your mid section low body fat, look at your family, lovely family with the responsibilities attached to having a family and a job as a teacher, what a great responsibility.
Now, your upper body is looking stronger than ever, amazing, keep posting, keep pumping
