I just record a short video of me posing (NO HOMO). I'm 5' 6" 164lb. What needs work? My goal for now is to get abs, since I've never had them (former fatty). After that I will be lean bulking for a bit. IMO, I need to bring up my triceps a lot.

Where are the legs? Otherwise nice job. Your arms might be lacking a little bit. Your back is fairly impressive though. good job. reps.

Posting pics in a bit (with leg pics). I just posted a video so there are no myspace angles, lighting issues, etc. as can happen with pics.Originally Posted by MikeyH83
Definitely agree with you about the arms. I am training more like a bodybuilder these days (as opposed to strength trainer and mostly compound movements) and in order to bring up arms, I think I will set aside a day for triceps and another for biceps. Don't want to turn into a bro but this will be necessary for a bit, lol.
How far do you think I am from abs?***Misc Strength Crew***

I think abs in 2-3 months is very possible, you look like you are not far off, around 12% BF.

Wow, thanks! I was thinking I'm more 14-15% but I don't really have good judgment with bf %.Originally Posted by Stalldad
I mentioned in the OP that I'm a former fatty. In fact, a few years ago I was 230lb (waist size 46-48 lol). Does it show? Like can you see any loose skin? I do have some stretch marks on my lower abdomen but they aren't that visible.***Misc Strength Crew***

2 - 3 months EASY if your diet is on point and you're training.
How much ab work are you doing?
Cardio?
Diet?
To be peeled you'll need to be around 155

Thoughts? Bulk then cut, what your planning is a cut / bulk / cut. why add an extra step? Also where are the legs at? keep ur diet in check and you'll get there... hard to make too much judgement withour before pics
