The transformation thread

[Skull]

I've always had very large veins, if I ever actually got lean I think I'd be very vascular. No pump, just sitting on my couch right now.

That one is bigger than my pinky finger, lol. It goes all the way into my armpit.

I'll never compete in bodybuilding either. However lean I get will just be for myself.

I always said: who need to be lean or to have abs but it's not about that anymore for me... It's more the way you look, if you are lean like 10-11% you really show the muscle you have. I mean muscle separation really make your physique look more impressive.

This winter I was 20 lbs heavier and yeah I looked much bigger but now I look much better if you know what I mean. I do look small because I'm tall and I surely need more muscle mass to look big and lean but now you can see the delt popping and during work out I have nice vascularity. Abs are not ripped but stomach is flat and you can see the shape of a six pack.

I like it better now... Even if does fuck with my mind a lot when I feel skinny

 

[Sampei]

And trust me... When you are 6.1 and you weight 200lbs off season you feel already small. When you weight 185 lean you feel a midget

But I'll get to 220 lean! No matter what I'll get there... Will take years but I'll make it

220lbs at around 12% is where I want to be. My ultimate goal right now is an elite powerlifting total at that weight (mid 1600's total) and getting there I'll need to get both leaner and stronger. I'm 5'10" and 214lbs as of today, not sure on BF%.

You look quite lean to me maybe 14? But it depends because some ppl have fat distribution different then other. For example I have low fat in my abs at the moment but on arms shoulders legs etx its higher. If you value only the mid section you could say I'm 12% but to me it doesn't look like 12 at all if I look the bigger picture.

But anyway BF estimation it's just a game get to the best compromises you can to achieve your goal

Yeah, 14% is my estimate and several others around here I've asked. I hang onto fat in my lower belly from years ago when I was on psych meds and pain meds and got a little fat for awhile. It's been slow going losing it, but of course I don't cut aggressively either so as to avoid losing strength. I'll get there though.

You will takes years to build an impressive physique. Many years the ride is long brothers in iron

Seven, your no longer trying brother. Your there! You look great man and my hats off to you for staying sober. Plates at the gym are a much better way to get life's problems out man and your proof it can be done.

 

[Eman]

@Eman when are you going to post your recipe for those eggs Benedicts and Crab Cakes. Two of my favorite!

My girl and took some much needed alone time Saturday and went to the Tigers game, then to Fishbones for a late dinner. I had Jumbo lump meat Crab Cakes lol

I can't take credit for that meal actually. Got it at a Belgian place I really like. Excellent selection of Belgian beer as well.

I can make a pretty good eggs Benedict myself though.

PS wrong thread.

 

[Geterdun]

Yeah, i know it is the wrong thread brother, my Tapatalk is messing up again and only opening certain threads for some reason. Hell, if I had a plate like you did in front of me, I would transform in to a different man again lol

Sorry about it being the wrong thread everyone, guess I need to do a delete and hard reboot again. SMFH
