One Year and Fifty Pounds Later
See if you can figure out which one is the before pic. I started off at 142 pounds around 7% bodyfat. I'm currently 188 pounds around 9% bodyfat. Four months ago, I got up to 192 pounds at about 13%, then I cut down to around 170 at 7% --- I lost a ****load of muscle in the process, due to a combination of getting sick (can't help that) and low-carbing it (never again).
All of my bodyfat measurements were done with a pair of accumeasure one site calipers. They are relatively precise, but I think they put me about 2% below where I really am.
By this time next year, I intend to be well over 200 pounds. My own evaluation is that I still need to focus on general mass, but criticism to the contrary is welcome. - 09-23-2005, 01:00 PM
Good job man.
Hope you hit that 200lb goal. That's what I'm shooting for before my cut in Feb/March. -

Thanks for the support guys. I think I'm 5'10" +/- 1" --- haven't had that officially measured in a looong time.

If it wasn't for measurements, I would have gone nuts looong ago. - 09-24-2005, 02:47 AM

Overall mass is a good goal. You've kept pretty lean, so I wouldn't worry about leaning out just yet. - 10-02-2005, 02:13 PM
Well, first of all, I really only put on 46 pounds --- fifty is rounding up.
Second, I definitely didn't put on 46 pounds of muscle. I'd say about 8 of those pounds resulted from proper hydration for the first time in my life, coupled with carrying around a far greater quantity of food in my gut than previously. I'd also wager that another 8 or so pounds were fat.
So, all told, we're looking at about 30 lean pounds in a year. This reconciles well with my arm measurements, which have gone from a little under twelve inches to a little under fifteen inches.
Definitely atypical progress for the average lifter, but the average lifter isn't a newb.
