About time to post some pics

[Showy0023]

I have been training off and on for the 9 years. I have gotten very serious and dedicated the past 2 years. I do not compete but love to train and diet. I have been bulking in the winter for the past 2 years then dieting down for the summer. In this period of time I have been able to add almost 20 lbs of lean mass.

Current stats:

28 years old

195 lbs.

9% BF (caliper checked)

* I am choosing to edit out my face at this time due to my job and the industry I am in.

Feel free to critique. I am training to bring up my wheels and add some more mass and width to my back. I would like to do a show in about 1.5 - 2 years.

The first picture is a time line of where I have come from physique wise since college. The other pictures I took this morning after my AM cardio session.

I know I know....my posing sucks!

You look 100% better, way to stay lean, while gaining size. Keep it up!

In the first set your recent pic makes the one of you at 19 look like an old man; way better shape and size, definition.

In the second set you look good pretty much by any standards.

Can you show some full body shots...

Like front relaxed and rear relaxed..Some bodybuiding shots, front bi, rear bi, side chest ,ect

 

[Showy0023]

Sure can. I'll try to get these shots by or over the weekend. I find it difficult to get good pictures sometimes. However I found that if take them in the morning w/o a flash and with the natural sunlight coming in the gym......they turn out pretty good.

Excellent work dude. Keep it up. As far as competing, I would just get in there now and do it. Start a prep, get the experience.

Competing is like having kids and saving money for retirement. If you wait for the best time to do either, you'll never do it at all.

You're close enough right now that you could comfortably hit a 16 week diet and be stage ready.

Just my two cents.

 

[mad_dawg]

You can sure see the changes! Keep up the hard work!

Really nice Transformation!

Looks like you do some pretty good ab work. Very lean. Great job.

I think if you worked legs really hard and made some improvements, you'd have a lot of fun doing a show.
