15 Month Transformation ...

Sat, 18 May 2013 19:31:00 GMT

I have weight trained for numerous years (freshman in high school) in the past while I was overweight. So I am not new to weight training. I did not eat "right" nor did I do any form of cardio. I was fat and muscular. This transformation was about my fat loss, basically a cutting phase. It took a year and a few months. I did not use anabolics or any other unnatural substance to obtain my body.

Deadlift Technique

Mon, 13 May 2013 19:13:00 GMT

I am 32 years old and started weight training about 1 year ago. Would you mind taking a look at my deadlift video and see if my form looks ok? I am concerned about standing up too soon and a slight flexion of the upper back. Thank you. This was my last set of a three week build up cycle. 265 at least one time. I was able to get 5 today.

Incredible BOX JUMP!

Fri, 10 May 2013 01:04:00 GMT

Hey!

I did a video to tell people to use their arms if they want to jump higher and that they should practice their technique before they do power cleans, deadlifts etc in order to increase their vertical leap... The video is in french so most of you won't understand it.. but you'll like the first jump... enjoy!

Got Dem Puffy Muscle Genetics

Mon, 06 May 2013 18:54:00 GMT

Okay.
I've been dieting for almost a year straight with IFPA PRO RJ Perkins. Feb 19 will be the year mark.

Got fat. Got sad. Now trying to get healthy.

No idea what my body fat was and what it is now.

His plan is 3 more months to get me that 9-10% look.

Then I want to lean bulk for a year to a year and a half and start getting competitive in either physique or bodybuilding depending on my look when it comes to that time.

Let me know what you think?

I know I didn't put up my legs or back shots. Maybe I will I'm tired and it's late.

But do you guys think I may have what it takes to be competitive as a natty?

Partial Pin Squats 535lbs

Hello my name is Matthew, I'm 23 and have had tons of trouble gaining weight for the longest time. I started working out a few years ago and spent most my time trying to put on weight. I started my Journey weighing in at 140 and i'm currently 190 at 6,0. I attached a picture of my progress.

My main goal is 200lb but there is a few concerns i'm having and i hope i could get some help here.

Thank you.

6'1 193lbs Progress

Sat, 20 Apr 2013 18:22:00 GMT

Been at this for a couple of years now roughly but with some inconsitency at times due to circumstances beyond my control. Started at 135lbs, still feel like im that size in my head but i've been up to 205lbs, lost a little bit, and then started cutting from 200lbs. I have pretty crap genetics as you can see, poor shape to muscle bellies etc especially chest.

I also have no definition at all even though i dont think im THAT fat. Interested in a bodyfat estimate, i would like to get down to about 10% before bulking up again, but i've never been ripped or anything im not the typical lean ectomorph, but a soft and undefined one lol.

My Progress

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 21:48:00 GMT

Here are some progress pictures. I'm not where I want to be yet. I think I still could lose another 10-15 pounds. I weighed 182 right before taking these pictures. I'm pretty happy though, I weight 230+ last July lol. So I'm happy losing 50 pounds of basically pure lard. Here's a Link to my RMP thread that I made in October(Big mistake making that thread lol but I did appreciate the encouragment). I'm 5'6 by the way.

I Don't Know My Bodyfat

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:10:00 GMT

Tried caliper, handheld, and the kind built into a scale. All different numbers.

just looking for an estimate of my bodyfat. I don't really want to get bigger.. I am more into being light on my feet. I weigh 160.

Another Estimate My BF Thread

Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:20:00 GMT

As the title says, i planned this to be the last day of my cut since im starting to feel skinny as f**k when i have clothes on me but still there's that last stubborn amount of fat just under my belly button that i've had for as long as i can remember.
So do you guys think i should continue cutting or finish up here and start a clean bulk (+/- 0 at rest days and 150-200+ on training days)?
And as the title says, what do you think my BF is?
1.79cm short and 71,6kg this morning.

2 Exercises to Jump Higher

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 16:13:00 GMT

1) Isometric squat and then box jumps... That's a good way to become more powerful. You can do isometric bench press then plyo push-ups, iso chin-up then muscle-up or speed chin-up, iso hip thrust then broad jumps, etc.

2) The one leg wall squat with weight! That one is not easy... I like to do it at the end of my trainings.

What's My Weak Point?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:35:00 GMT

Believe me I know im small and need to work on everything but I want to bring up whats clearly smaller than the rest and my judgement with this perportions suck.

In my opinion which doesnt really mean anything, I feel like my arms, shoulders, and hams but I honestly dont know.

So this is me at 25% bodyfat (tanita scale so don't take that seriously). Got my front squat up to 335x6. I will be maintaining this body fat while significantly increasing protein. I weight 260 ATM and will follow Prof X. advice and keep this weight until at least June and then begin a very very slow cut, very similar to what GSUbarbell did.

I've never gotten below around 16% body fat so should be an interesting year. I will post up some front and back shots of upper body later today or tomorrow. I need the motivation, find that keeping myself accountable on here is just the thing.

Hi Guys please help me determine I have an omron scale which measures my bodyfat at 36% I went and had an immersion test done which came back at 25.5% I never thought the variance would be that big....
Which looks more realistic to your expert eyes

6 Month Transformation, Feedback

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:23:00 GMT

Hey people I started working out about a year ago and I gained around 48 LBS.

Thought id introduce myself with some pictures taken some time back, this is like a 6month transformation. here, i dont have any recent pics, but as you can see i havn't gained much fat at all. but yeah I had very skinny arms, and now my arms are one of the big parts of my body, at 16,8inch. (lean).

21 Months Later...

Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:20:00 GMT

About 21 months ago, I realized how unhappy I was with myself particularly due to my physical state and appearance. I decided it was time to make a big change in my lifestyle. I weighed myself and was embarrassed to read what the scale said...320 pounds. I stopped eating all the crap I used to eat and hit the gym 5 days a week. After 21 one months of hard work, I am happy with what I have accomplished. I am still not done with my transformation but I am close. I am currently 195 pounds. Tell me what you think!

About 8 Months of Change

Sat, 02 Feb 2013 06:30:00 GMT

207lbs

a few weeks ago about 218

measured this morning-
arms 17.5 and 17.25
thinnest part of stomach 35"

Bench Form Video

Thu, 24 Jan 2013 17:36:00 GMT

Please have a look at my form on the bench press. I am 6'2 197lbs and only benching 60kg for 6-8 reps. Trouble is i need to increase the weight to gain strength and size, but apparently my form is not that good and i have been advised to drop the weight im using. Seems crazy that at my size and weight i would be benching like 50kg but is that for the best?

405x2 Pull/Dips+100lbs

Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:44:00 GMT

I was trying to find my max for deadlifts to start doing 5/3/1 this week and was pleased with my deadlift. I had never put more than 250 on the bar for a deadlift before, I always did high reps. Bad music, sub-par form, straps, and girly grunts are all involved. Anyways, I'm 20, 5'11, 175lbs and I've been taking lifting/diet seriously since last august after a year long break from any/all working out, my max for dl when I started lifting again in august was 250x3.

Edit:Changed title because it wasn't a deadlift and added video of dips with 100lbs.

Dips with 100lbs chained on:
