Thanks all

what would you estimate my BF to be?

**jaymar320** · 08-15-2006, 10:34 PM

Man, nice job. I would guess 10-11%? Based off of what I know and what I've seen.

**nick500** · 08-16-2006, 01:19 AM

wow i'm not sure its that low, but i guess aroudn 14 - 15 % right now, which is nice.

**wingsofevil** · 08-16-2006, 01:53 AM

nice progress! whats your routine?

**JekDaMuscleFlex** · 08-16-2006, 02:05 AM

great progress, again like others have asked how much did you gain?

btw you seem to be looking like rob van damn all of a sudden comparing ur first pic wit ur latter

**nick500** · 08-16-2006, 02:32 AM

err Rob Van Damme??

First pic was 11 stone 6 (160lbs), after losing the weight that i'd carried all through my teens - really happy part of my life. Was training everything semi-seriously but still no heavy leg work at this point, and diet was good/almost perfect for about 3 months.

I then went on a mission to get as big as possible for the next 18 months. I went from 11 stone 6 to 15 stone 11 (221lbs) at my highest, and now currently looking at a more manageable fat level at 14 stone 10 (206lbs).

I currently train 5 times a week, i think the biggest difference that I have made to gain results have been that I religiously train legs, and hold them up high in great importance as part of training now. During my mega-weight-gain period, my main lift was deadlift and i went from 1 rep of 125kg to 1 rep of 205kg in that period. Bench went from 90kg to 145kg. It was an amazing time of my life.

Currently, at a slightly leaner level, i'm benching about 125 - 130kg, deadlifting 1RPM at 185 - 190kg, which i'm happy with.

I also have a compulsory 'core' day now, once per week, where I work on my abs, stability and posture. I think (although only done it for 5 weeks), it has made major differences to those areas.

Thanks for compliments,

Nick

From your stats in your sig you need to dump whatever crap routine you have been following (115 bench @ 160 lbs...) and start doing Ripptoe
