Hey everyone. I don't usually post, but I’ve been lurking here for over a year and this place has honestly played a huge part in my progress. A lot of you guys talking about different topics really helped me wrap my head around training and nutrition, which led to actual physical results, so here’s my transformation
Two pics: first is August 2014. 6'0" and 194 lbs. Second is August 2015. 6'0" and 172 lbs.


Keep in mind, I actually started training back in June 2014 when I was a whopping 216 lbs. 😁 Obviously, I don't have photos from then—who wants to take a picture at 220+?
I started out with running and bodyweight stuff. Didn't even hit the gym until April. Looking back, I'm pretty annoyed because I made way more progress in those 4 months than I did in the 10 months before that, both in terms of how I look and what I can do (like, I swam five times more this summer than I ever have in my life).
As for what's next, I can't tell if there's still fat left on my chest and abs or if it's just loose skin. Either way, the plan is to drop a few more pounds and focus purely on building muscle.
Lol. How do I resize these images? They're way too big. 🙂
