| Pronounced NAB uh shin | 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 shitload 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. |

My friends and family, especially those who haven't seen me in a while, keep telling me how hyooge I am compared to where I was --- but I can't help but think that they're blowing smoke up my ass. When I look in the mirror, my brain sees the exact same thing it saw 1 year back. ![]() If it wasn't for measurements, I would have gone nuts looong ago. | |

You may want to assume your BF around 12% though--but I think you already addressed this issue. Overall mass is a good goal. You've kept pretty lean, so I wouldn't worry about leaning out just yet. -“Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.”-Albert Einstein -"Never trust the teller.

| Pronounced NAB uh shin | 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. |
