Starting off pic

[WillSpengler]

Kinda ripping off Morgs thread. But thought it would be good to have starting pic

I'll take a few better ones when i get a memory card for my camera (this is just from a phone camera, hence the cruddy pic). So far i've been hitting the weights 3 times a week for about 5-6 weeks now, nothng to really show for it yet (no surprise there ).

6ft 4 , ~17 stone.

I really need to cut some weight, but right now ive been concentrating more on working the core muscles. Currently doing the same thing at each workout (gotta get general fitness up too), sets of shoulder presses, bench presses, squats and power cleans. I throw in the odd set of deadlifts too.

Insane eyes man!

Keep protein high and carbs low to moderate, same with fats and do 20 mins cardio after each weight session and you'll see and imprevement within 3 months.

Keep it up and well done for posting the pic.

I always do squats last, they tend to make me like that

Ive got the protien up higher, dont have too much fat intake, but have alot of carb intake which im cutting down (i just like pasta too damned much Cheers for the comments

how heavy are the weights you are doing?

[WillSpengler]

Erm, not done anything since august, so only really got into the weights for a 3-4 months i think it was.

Erm, got up to;
Squatting 100Kg,
Benching (Flat) 77.5Kg,
Barbell rowing 65Kg,
Deadlifting 115Kg,
Full cleaning 55Kg,
Shoulder pressing 50Kg.

Those are more or less right anyways, dont have my training log on hand, so cant be totally 100% about that tho.

Wish i was still doing the weights, just dont have the space right now, well, until the garage gets sorted. And dont really have the time + dont really want to injure myself, last year at Uni and all that (i dont think ive even been on this forum for a few months now!)

aw, you should get back into it now, did anything happen to the muscle after you stopped?

[WillSpengler]

Ive noticed my chest is loosing it a bit, but its only started loosing it over the last few weeks as far as ive noticed.

But the muscle is well insulated, so its hard to tell

A month or so ago i did a few sets of squats (i had hurt my knee just before stopping), and just wanted to see how it was holding up to weight (which was fine ). And the neck day my thighs were rock hard, which was nice, keeps me hopeful that when i do get back into the weights it shouldnt take too long to get back on track .

I would if i could, but with several 3,000 word essays a month, aswell as other assesments, and not to mention a dissertation, i really dont have the time, well, i could squeeze it in, but there isnt space either and im usually completelly drained from it all.

Was planning on using the uni gym, but its closed til december (being refurbished), and when they open it again, it wont be student prices, it'll be more expensive than the big JJB gym in the city centre (and have less)

Look like youve got the potential to be pretty big mate, fair old frame on ya..... thats one scary ass pic tho

[WillSpengler]

Aye, well i was hoping to make use of it and cheers! the evil eyes happen in most of my pictures!

that is one scary picture, I might steal it and photoshop a crystal ball in your hands lol. Seriously though looks like you have a big frame and with a fair amount of commitment you'll soon be needing some new t-shirts.
