My Transform Pics

bradspencer74 · 09-17-2007, 08:17 PM

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:

Jesus Christ my man, that's probably the most impressive transformation I've ever seen.

It's hard to believe how tight your skin is after that much weight loss; great job.

WOW

How long did the transformation take (from first pic to last)? And what sort of routine did you use primarily?

Congrats man, like kwyck said, that's probably the most impressive transformation I've ever seen. Keep up the good work

thans an excellent example of dedication.

You look great, actually you look way younger on the last pics that you did when you were overweight.

Best of luck

The before pics are about 2 1/2 years old, and not me at my largest, but you get the idea. People think I'm kind of freakish or used a cheat or something-- and I can't explain why it happened so fast but -- I started my diet Labor Day 2006, and started working out October 1. So, I've been working out just at one year.

At first, I used a simple 3x per week total body all DB's that I could do at home (I was too embarrassed to go to a gym at my size). Cardio, I stationary biked, a LOT. I changed to a 4x per week upper/lower that I found on-line at the start of 2007. When I finally joined a gym, I changed to a 5x per week, once per week per group thing my trainer put me on. Currently, I do a 2-on, 1- off, another upper/lower split. I've got another 4 weeks of the current one before I need to change. With the exception of a few change up days, I've always gone heavy. (6-10 reps)

One of the guys at my current gym is trying to get me to start OVT. Don't know if I should or exactly what to do next.

Just goes to show with knowledge, time, dedication america can back down our obese %.
Amazing in every aspect. Congrats and welcome.

The only problem w/ those obesity stats is that its BMI based. Based off of BMI I'd say a huge portion of us on this forum are "obese".
