**warchild** · 09-30-2008, 01:22 PM

i dont notice any diff, except you need to burn some of that baby fat

**DCI** · 09-30-2008, 01:29 PM

I'll start cutting then so

**Dukkit** · 09-30-2008, 01:24 PM

need to cut. you seem to have a thick base. but you cant see it.

arms look thicker and chest a lil bit. but i cant tell if its muscle, bloat or fat.

so get your diet down and kick the cardio up. cut a bit then you will look alot better

**THORSZ** · 09-30-2008, 09:29 PM

Hard to tell by the quality of pictures. Stomach looks leaner in later pictures though.

**WARMachine** · 10-01-2008, 02:42 AM

19 years old?
5'10?
180?
14%BF?

Decent base... Need to tighten up obviously...

Hope you havent cycled.

You seem to have a little post-puberty gyno as well. Nothing that can be fixed, just need to work the chest sections a lil harder.

JMO.

Not a bad base, you seem really think. Keep working on it bro, everyone is a work in progress.

have you been juicin? if you have, then my friend it looks like you have gyno in the newer pics...

**free_spirit** · 10-03-2008, 05:13 PM

oh man...honestly? That's looks from the picture not very good in a year, you look a bit fatter, no obvious muscle increase, has your strength increases gone up alot? Something is wrong with your dieting and training, that definitly needs to be revised. Why is your left pec alot larger, have you taken anything, are you benching correctly? How much did you weigh before? If anything you need to up the cardio and do some cutting.

agreed, a diet adjustment would be a good help

Nope, no juicing at all I live in Ireland and not exactly easy to get your hands on and there's plenty left to do before I even bother with it. My diet is ok need some work but not sure where to start exactly. And all those pics where taken with camera phones so not the best for differenciation I would imagine.

I have become a lot stronger in the year that has passed.

**Dinosaur** · 10-04-2008, 12:32 PM

you look more bulky on the second pic with some xtra fat wiches noraml i would get more mass than start cutting ata once, don't forget to adjust your diet.

**firmechicano831** · 10-04-2008, 06:47 PM

You look the same to me bro, not to be mean. I think you need to concentrate more on diet and cardio then you'll start to see results.

**OH REALLY** · 10-06-2008, 04:25 PM

I can see the difference you got a new phone good job

**DCI** · 10-06-2008, 04:42 PM

Nice sarcasm nearly as good as mine

**Elysium** · 10-07-2008, 10:11 AM

Look fatter, and your dont look any larger. Sorry if that sounds harsh, and as the others have said theres a hint of Gyno there, your chest does look fuller but hard to tell at your BF if its fat or muscle.

**Thug Nasty** · 10-07-2008, 01:12 PM

Keep working hard man. You'll get there.

Cheers buddy, we all have to start somewhere.

I think I'll ask for a good diet.

**WARMachine** · 10-07-2008, 06:34 PM

gyno is another word for Bitch Tits.

If you have developed gyno you will have a lump behind your nipple. It will be fairly hard, and it will be tender to touch. If not, thats just some fat on your chest.

Have you tried that quick workout yet bro?

If so, how is it?

**DCI** · 10-07-2008, 06:42 PM

Nice one for that War

Nah no lump man, It's just fat I would imagine.

I haven't I was away for the weekend and im dying sick now. So won't be a while till I am back I will hammer the work out you gave me.

Nice one again for all the advice greatly appreciated.

**DCI** · 10-07-2008, 06:54 PM

Thanks again. I might pm ya for a bit more advice if that's all right?

**DCI** · 10-07-2008, 06:58 PM

Cheers bud been a great help.

**Randall6** · 10-07-2008, 07:16 PM

you could definitley bulk up with some quick extra muscle!

**WARMachine** · 10-07-2008, 06:51 PM

Not a problem, keep us posted.

Oh i forgot to mention not to rest between those sets.

When changing exercises, take 2-3 minutes. But no rest inbetween sets.

**WARMachine** · 10-07-2008, 06:56 PM

Feel free to PM bro... I had a problem like yours in the chest and that exercise worked wonders for me...

I use a different routine these days. But when i feel my chest is lagging, that tightens it right up.
