transform from 25% bf- 13%

**drummaboyzl** · 03-24-2008 11:09 PM

i know a couple of the pix are a bit blurry but i didnt have these on a digital camera....i took this from printed pictures and put them on phone and uploaded.

you get the basic idea of how i went from 5'6'' at 190 lbs and no muscle to now 6'2'' 185 with approx. 13% bf

**TexasLifter89** · 03-24-2008 11:14 PM

keep it up

**Rugger** · 03-24-2008 11:19 PM

Sorry to burst your bubble but Id say your closer to 16-17% bf. Just being honest. Youve obviously made a great progression already, though.

**drummaboyzl** · 03-24-2008 11:23 PM

i did the measurements and have gotten feedback and im told 13-15%....it doesnt really matter the numbers to me. im in it for appearance and overall health. im keeping myself pretty straight up now and hope to drop 10 lbs of fat or be around 10% bf by the end of June.
i guess everytime i notice a significant change ill take pix and post and keep an update on here.
im not looking for criticism to be honest, im lookin for support.
but as is life i'll take the good with the bad i s'pose

What exercise & diet program did you take to make you grow 8 inches? I think you'll find you've just had a growth spurt and your body has naturally gone this direction. Obviously you've eaten well to prevent being 6'2" and 25% body fat but I don't think you've experienced anything unusual here. It happens to all of us. Your body fat is sitting around 16-17% as rugger stated. Keep training and fill that frame out brother

**drummaboyzl** · 03-24-2008 11:44 PM

well there has been alot of muscle growth too....when i was short and fat i couldnt bench 100.....at my peak i could bench 220, fallen a bit since i havent done anything this last year though :-(

Just keep truckin dude. You can do anything you want with your body. It's all dedication. I know plenty of FFBs (former fat boys) who are now ripped outta their gords.

**ozarkaBRAND** · 03-25-2008 12:14 AM

ur nipples make me jealous.. I'm a former fatty and my nips are poofy..

**OCCFan023** · 03-25-2008 08:18 AM

FFB here as well. Keep up the dedication, don't get side tracked, and your on your way to where you want to be bro. Also I'm going to agree with the others of the around 17% bf but judge progress by the mirror man its easier and overall a better tool for comparison (I only use bf for lbm calculations and for log purposes.)

One word of advice though, refrain from myspace angle pictures lol.

**drummaboyzl** · 03-25-2008 12:36 PM

lol i wouldn't of put it up here but it was recent lol. thnx for the support guys. i would type/post more right now but im at school and the internet is taking forever to load here.

cya 4 now

**PappaD** · 03-25-2008 12:56 PM

Cool so that means I only need to grow to 6'10" to be at 13%!! LOL

J/K bro keep going!!!!

**bolt10** · 03-25-2008 02:20 PM

looking like some good improvements man. with some dedicated work things should fall together very nicely in the large scheme. keep up the good work

**drummaboyzl** · 03-25-2008 03:39 PM

why are so many people ass holes on here? i understand there are several that are helpful and courteous. but what the ****? obviously i grew from that first picture. but obviously i didnt keep a log to show how i dropped the body fat. how about this, think about how your getting your kicks, is it at the expense of somebody else? cuz if thats your only form of entertainment i feel sorry for you. i dont need cracks about how or why i got taller and thinner because i got stronger too obviously.
jsut blows me away how the maturity of many of you doesnt match your age. grow up.

**Rugger** · 03-25-2008 03:54 PM

Wow we have a stage 5 emo ***** here. Not one person in this thread said anything to make you feel bad. Quit ****ing crying and go lift something heavy for ****s sake.

Here, I'll even summarize the posts of this thread for you:
1) yours
2) your buddy tellin you to keep truckin
3) me saying your bf isn't correct. Does that make you sad?
4) You already complaining about supposed 'criticism'
5) Guy explaining what helped your progress, then encouraging you to keep working. He even added a smilie
6) mundane post from you
7) Me probably saying the nicest thing that is said to you in your thread
8) Another FFB telling you he's jealous. And he isn't kidding.
9) Another FFB telling you to keep it up and work hard. Oh, he told you not to use myspace angles? Well guess what, that's because they're gay.
10) you posting at school
11) A guy making a JOKE and then telling you to keep workin hard
12) Another guys telling you to keep up the hard work.
13) You whining.
14) me telling you to quit being a *****.

In summary: If this ENCOURAGEMENT makes you sad faced then you have a rude awakening in store. With that said, you've obviously made GOOD progress and have the dedication do take your body and do whatever you want with it. This **** doesn't happen over night, you have to work hard and be consistent, which you seem to be focused on. Don't think people are always out to get you just because you may be a little sensitive to what people think of you. Say "**** them" and go prove everyone wrong (even though no one in here said anything like that).

Now go get big.

well then your life is going to forever suck. This isn't exactly a place to look for sympathy. Sympathy here is expressed in the form of advice and encouragement. If things like what has been posted in here bother you that much, well, then I just feel bad for you. Good luck with your progress, I'm sure you'll get where you want to go so long as you stick with it and quit feeling bad about yourself.

**RoidRageX10** · 03-25-2008 05:17 PM

You made some good progress. I was never fat but I wasn't skinny. I got taller and leaned out to a degree, but that isnt THE reason you are skinny. You put it some work bro, nice job!

**Alexander** · 03-25-2008 05:30 PM

Excellent posting Rugger. This kid wants to come on here and have his ass kissed, that's pretty pathetic. Why would you not want criticism, that's how you'll improve. Someone tells him he's incorrect about his BF and he gets offended, wow. It's unbelievable that he's calling people childish with his lack of ability to be told the truth.

Sorry about the rant, but it really pisses me off when people don't even want to know the truth, they'd rather just live in fantasyland and be told they're doing great. It's ridiculous how criticism is viewed as being an as$hole, take that sh*t like a man and quit acting like a b*tch.
