Very nice transformation, all you can do for symmetry work to even out is do single arm work, work each side individually.
You're not the first person to tell me that they thought those were father/son pics at first. And to tell the truth, I really was way, way older than my years. People always thought I was a 10 years or more older than I really was.repps to u bro
when i first saw those photos i thought it was father and son!!
those before photos would have been taken around late 29/ early 30, u looked 50 something dude!!
the transformation is beyond belief and well done
remarkable and a fine example of what can be achieved
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Just getting started here, but since I'm finally able to turn my focus toward gaining muscle rather than losing fat, thought it best to get post where I am now, just a couple of weeks into my first clean bulk.
I had been overweight all my life. When it finally clicked with me how close to dying I was, I was 375 lbs@44% BF (maybe a little more). I've poured everything I could into changing my life, and so far so good. Now, I'm at 200 pounds, 12-14% BF, depending on the measurement type that's done, and I feel better than at any time in my life. Hopefully there will be some new muscle on these pics on a few months. I'd like to get to 220 @8%, but that will take at while.
Anyway, Before and After:
Oh, I've got them. Maybe I'm my own worst critic, but I can certainly see them. They are fading out a bit though. Don't know if that is with time, more mass, or both.I'm going to perpetuate the echo in here -- amazing transformation, and truly inspirational.
What I find to be the craziest part is how well your skin adapted. I've lost "only" 95 lbs and my skin situation is much worse than yours...I don't even see stretch marks on you!

Hell of a great job sir. This is a great thing to see and use to show others out there that it CAN be done. Ill let my wife look at these too as shes worried bout losing weight after being pregnant and this kind of thing will give ehr hope.
U R the man, keep with it and keep us in the loop, Id love to see how you continue to progress :thumbsup:
This may sound like false modesty, but believe me, it isn't.I hate to be redundant but I had to chime in- WOW. That is Absolutely amazing. You are a true testament to what bodybuilding is all about. Very inspirational-I hope you can get some type of exposure- you can be an inspiration to so many people.
I got ya. But I think you still need to give yourself some credit-so many people never even have the discipline or willpower to even attempt what you have accomplished, much less to achieve the amazing results that you have. Don't worry about lost years, the important thing is that you did it at all. I can't say enough how impressive what you have done is.This may sound like false modesty, but believe me, it isn't.
I really do not see how what I've been able to do is anything remarkable. If anything, the remarkable thing was allowing myself to even get into that position. I should have never allowed it to happen, and all I've really done is try to fix it.
To tell the truth, I've kicked myself in the ass more than once for now starting when I was 16 or 17 like most of you. Wonder what I would have looked like now, with 10 or 15 years of lifting under my belt. I'll always be a little envious of you guys for having that time, and I'll always regret having wasted so many years sitting on my ass when I could have had so much more.
