Yeah its deffinitely the fast track to progress wise drug free, if drugs are the route taken early on i dont think that excessive fat gain is overly nessecary however if the said drug using person did just eat everything in sight for a few years while training unreasonably intense then the results after cutting down years later would be absurd.

Unless ofcourse the person sucked at life and managed to get disgustingly fat on drugs then that person should take up shw powerlifting and hang out with the other disgraces of life, that are 2 steps away from death yet refer to themselves as elite athletes because theyre good at eating garbage bins of pasta, cheating lifts with form and equipment and..

/end hated of obese athletes rant



@Maiden - thanks a lot man, means a lot from you

Your back progress has been good, but IMO, your avatar is the best pic I've ever seen of you, Maiden. Looking SICK.

Thanks bug. Means a lot coming from mr. aesthetic. Definitely didn't get there on my own, had a lot of help from stu.

p.s. It would be cool if you posted your workouts in TNs BOI again.

Update from Page 2 of this thread (click for bigger pic).

Ending this year at 270-ish. This pic (which is current avatar) is the week of Christmas 2010 after 'bulking' since May 2008 -- appx. 2 yr, 7 months.

Arms start of 'bulk': 14.25"
Arms current as of this post: 19+"

I have a couple lifting numbers I want to hit, probably by end of Jan/Feb 2011 and I may consider leaning up or some really serious "damage control" (as Prof X would say).

Still a long, long, long way to go..........

See below for full "fat to skinny fat to strong fat" history lol.

Currently working making 'the top half' bigger and trying to keep the 'mid half' where it is...


Edit:

240 to 180 (fat-fat to skinny-fat). Did that with diet with mostly cardio and some weight lifting (wouldn't do that again). Got down to 170.

<pic>

From 4/08 to 4/09 (at about 225# in this pic), added 3.25" to arms:

<pics>

Update Edit: 2/2010

<pic>

14.25" to 19" (4.75") in 2 years @ 38 y.o.


#######


Certainly not the "final after", but had to add the pic with the beard, which trumps all other development.

A bit lighter, a bit stronger, a bit bigger, a bit leaner, and a bit grayer since last update (pg 16). Benching in the 400's.

Still going.
