Alright, I'm gonna be brave and finally drop my progress collage here! 😁 The first shots are from last April, and the second ones were just snapped the other day. I’m currently crushing week three of Insanity—man, it's intense! Still got a mountain of work left to do, and I'm still grinding through 🙂, but honestly? I'm pretty stoked with how everything is shaping up so far...

Only one bicep is actually showing progress 🙂
What I love most is that my arms look thinner when they're relaxed now compared to before—mostly because the fat is finally gone 🙂

Looking for some feedback here... I want to know if there are too many lines on this (my) hand or if this is just how it’s supposed to look.

I suppose I should contribute a photo as well.

The resolution is poor because my phone is subpar, but you can make out the general idea.

6'4" and 227 lbs.

A girl I know hangs out on this forum too, and she posted a photo recently that basically got nothing but compliments. So now, let’s see what you guys think about this little guy of mine 😁

I used to be sitting at 210 lbs, down to 190 now, aiming for the 175 mark
Standing 6'0"

Moving from a bulk to a cut now.

Currently sitting at 212 lbs. Getting down to 205 would be the sweet spot...😉

I finally found some Varaždin Papica 😛

Here’s my current status report 😁

This was my previous update. There’s also an older one featuring shots of my midsection and legs from back then.

Back when I first started, my legs were already strong, so I wouldn't say there's been a massive shift there, but I'll post the full set just to ensure nothing—legs, hips, glutes—is missing. 😁

Body ( Link is the full-size photo):



The biggest change is right here, and it all comes down to training volume and how I've structured my workouts. I’ve built up quite a bit of shape here, and I'm happy with it.

Abs have technically improved too, though they're hard to capture properly in a photo:

And lastly, gluts and hamstrings, as much as I could manage to capture:

FoRi mentioned I've put on some "mass" (referring to the glutes, obviously), and since they see me more often, I'd agree. It's been a while since I weighed in, but I'd estimate I've gained at least a pound or two of muscle. Glutes and legs are stronger. I'm satisfied.
Strength is the priority now; that's the next target. Increasing the weight I lift, making progress, keeping the nutrition clean, and finally nailing certain elements in CF that I'm currently struggling with. A competition might be the end goal, who knows. 🙂

So, feel free to comment or critique. 😍

P.S. Ignore the location. This is the only spot I found with decent lighting and a large enough mirror. 😁

Sitting at 215 lbs right now--not exactly where I want to be

My muscles aren't really feeling relaxed here. I'm currently focusing on hitting those lower abs, and I’d love to pack on some more mass, but honestly, I'm terrified of losing the definition I've already worked so hard for. I'm not totally sure about my exact stats, but I'm roughly 6'0" and about 155 lbs.

First pics were from Nov 2, 2013 (back when I was 200 lbs), but these newer ones are from yesterday (down to 160 lbs). I'm about 5'11".

Here's a better shot where you can actually see my legs

Overall, I'm satisfied with where I'm at after 5 months on the gear, but I'm not done yet. There's still plenty of room for improvement.😁

Hey everyone 🙂
here’s my progress—nothing crazy, but I’m trying my best 😁

So, first off, I gained some weight, going from my "usual" 112-117 lbs up to about 125 lbs:


Then, back in November, I dropped 11 pounds and hit 115 lbs... the struggle was that I just felt "deflated." Everything felt soft and loose, especially my glutes 😁 ...so, after living a total sedentary lifestyle for five years, I finally decided to start training
I’ve been working with a trainer four times a week, focusing strictly on strength training. No cardio at all so far... my trainer says I don't need it yet. He thinks if I jump into cardio too soon, I'll just burn through all my muscle mass... though he did say we might add some in before summer rolls around
Anyway, this is exactly one month of training:
(left is before, right is after—if you can tell 🤣)
(my stomach might actually look bigger than before because I totally pigged out right before taking these photos 🙂)


I'm still not quite sure how to flex properly 🤣

Oh, right—the first set is at 117 lbs, the second is at 115 lbs

I decided to post these because I was hitting a bit of a mental wall with my workouts... the muscle soreness stopped, everything started feeling heavy, and looking in the mirror, I couldn't see any progress... but now that I've taken these photos, I can actually see that I am moving forward

here's what you ladies requested 😬
put on 4 or 5 lbs—totally on purpose 😁 currently sitting at around 130lbs/5'4"
still gotta work on those leg muscles though
doing Taekwondo daily—plus some pushups and squats at home

So, here’s a quick update after a few months of nothing but bodyweight training... I don't have any "before" photos to show you, but trust me, I feel like Rambo right now 😬

Anyway, I'm heading back to the local gym now... and let's get one thing straight: I'm done chasing those shredded abs and all that other nonsense... I'm strictly focused on building mass 😁

Yesterday was strictly an arm day. I live for arm days... nothing else quite hits the same. 😁

Right arm: biceps and triceps...



Left arm: biceps and triceps...



Both sides, complete circuit.

198 lbs
6'0"
I am in desperate need of a definitive classification 🙂
