9 months

[m14rsh]

hi, new here.

started training 1 1/2 years ago, work at a leisure centre so needed to set an example.

stopped swimming when i was 14 and went from 168lbs to 224lbs. at the age of 21 i stripped a lot of fat by dieting but with no weights or cardio. I was left with a body which looked worse because it was neither big or small. i ha also kept fat around the chest area, not good.
I started working out only doing chest, then read a few mags and changed to doing all body parts, then read some more and 11 months ago i really made a choice to go onto a strict but reliable diet. High protein, hard work outs, CV and dedication.
I have done one 6 week cycle of Anabol in october 07.

here the pics

[dukkitdalaw]

[Garnelek]

I can see ur work has paid off!Congrats.Keep it up

[MaNofSteeL]

great job, keep it up!

[PROTEINSHAKE]

great job.....

[JSola]

great job bro keep it up, are you doing a proper pct? I'd also research a proper cycle. A 6 week anabol cycle is not the best starter cycle. you look good but do more research before your next cycle.

[KZRSOIZE]

great improvement....your in the uk you all and anything you need at your fingertips....lucky ...do some research and get a kick ass cycle ready and go for it....

[BIGMIKETORR]

Nice transformation but I agree I would have maybe went with prop my first cycle but nice anyway......... keep training hard bro

[hobbs9963]

[InsaneInTheMembrane]

[Jiesel]

[Panzerfaust80]

Good job bro, big x-formation! look like a different person! see ya been hittin the tanning beds too!

Whats a "leisure center" anyway?

[m14rsh]

whats a leisure centre? Its a centre of leisure! Pool, Gym, Sports, Functions, Bars etc

[m14rsh]

i was on holiday when i took the picture but i had had a few before i went.

[Panzerfaust80]

how much can u bench? be honest!

[m14rsh]

Normally press 100kg for 3 sets of 10 reps, never done my 1 rep max, will give it a go one day.

[Kale]

Nice work, what are your stats now ?

[m14rsh]

I did weigh 224lbs in March 06
March 07 i weighed 193lbs
December 07 191lbs
Body fat before 21% if i remember correctly. Now i am down to about 15-16% at last check.
So not much weight change but quite a bit of fat gone and replaced with muscle.
Chest before 38" now 40"
Navel before 33" now 31"
Waist before 36" now 32"
Arms before 14" now 16.5"
wish i had measured my shoulders as they seem to have grown big time, shirts dun't fit propaly now.

[Kale]

Nice and I think your BF is closer to 12% by the way. How tall are you

[m14rsh]

6' 1". as i said last check was botu 15-16 but that around xmas so quite possibly dropped fat again. Hard to tell when you see yourself everyday (specially the amount i look in the mirror) Thats why i love the march/december pic as i can really see a difference that i enver thought i would make.

1st time ive ever heard the term "leisure centre". no flame here but to me sounds like a nice word for turkish bathhouse. :)

[m14rsh]

what do you guys call a place which is owned by the state/council built for the use of the paying locals which has a pool, gym, football pitch(soccer), squash courts, roller skating, mixture of different sized function rooms and meeting rooms?

Hey I said he looked goofy, that's better than scaring off small children and making old ladies cry like my grill does.

[Gear]

You have gained quite a bit within that time frame, you look fantastic. Keep up the great work.

P.S. You look much better with longer hair.

[shifty_git]

you happen to do a lot of swimming m14rsh?

[m14rsh]

Started swimming training in club at age 8, competitions from age 10-16. I quit then to concentrate on school work. Thats when i put a lot of weight on, then started driving instead of walking or biking anywhere. blew up like a balloon. Why do you ask? Been thinking about getting back into it again.
