LOL I'll take a comparison to college aged guys vs. my old butt any day!!

Big, hairy man-love. Is there anything sweeter and yet so repulsive? Seriously though, great job dude. Just
keep up the good work. The hard work is done. It's all just
maintenance now.

Decided to post up some pics to get some advice from all of you. I've been hanging around here for a couple years now and learned a LOT. I have been working out hard and trying to grow without getting to fat.

I am 45 years old now. Historically three and a half years ago I was 265 32%BF 40 inch pants and smoked three packs of marlboros a day. Quit smoking and started dieting which got me down to 230. Had the wild idea to join a cardio class and went cardio crazy for the next 2 years. Got REALLY skinny. Been lifting a lot now and really enjoy it. For the past four months I have been focusing on eating more than usual and lifting hard. I am happy with the growth but my waist is up about an inch which drives me insane!! Having been so fat for so long the flab veyr quickly makes me very very paranoid about returning to super fatness.....lol maybe someone other than me feels like that at times?

Anyway heres the pics at about the 230 mark, 178 and now 205. Questions....

Am I honestly making progress or just floundering??

Should I bulk another 10 or 15 and then cut or start cutting now? oh and one more time.........easy on me I know I am far from an elite looking athlete. I am just a guy trying. Sometimes I honestly get discouraged and wonder if I am getting anywhere. I suppose everyone feels like that at times??

DUDE YOU LOOK REALLY GOOD I WAS WORRIED ABOUT STARTING BACK AT AGE 39 AFTER SLACKING OFF BUT YOU HAVE ENCOURAGED ME. YOU MAY HAVE GAINED SOME IN THE MIDDLE ACCORDING TO YOU BUT YOU ARE SOLID LOOKING. I HOPE I CAN GET TO WHERE YOU ARE AT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY TO EVERYONE ELSE I HAVE JUST JOINED THIS WEB SIGHT AND FIND IT AN INSPIRATION ALL THE MEMBERS ARE AWESOME, WITH THIER KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND INSPIRATION, THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT!

I know it's probably getting repetitive, but great job man. Keep up the good work, and don't let those paranoias get to you, you look great, and I'm sure it will only get better

I am new here and catching up on old threads, but if you are still lurking about here, I wanted to add one more thought. a LARGE amount of the fat you lost was subcutaneous fat. Fat around your internal organs. THIS IS THE STUFF THAT KILLS YOU! SO regardless of whether you reach all of your aesthetic goals, you have lengthened your life substantially!

You are thinking of Visceral Fat.
