New member and want to say this place rocks...
I've been lurking and just reading since Oct-02 and just wanted to add a little. I found this board then and was wanting to jump right into a cycle, I had already done a lot of research (or so I thought!) After reading the board I realized I had a whole lot more that I needed to accomplish first. Since that day I've just been reading and filling my brain with the info you guys have put out here.
My diet was far from in check and I had no idea the value that supplements (protein, creatine, etc.) could add to my workouts. I've since changed lots of my eating habbits and been taking what many here consider to be essentials.
Here are some pics. The first two are from around christmas I had gotten the BF% down a little and was weighing like 195 from 205. I wish I had some before this to compare to. The last was a couple of weeks ago and I'm at about 185. My goal now is to pack on some more muscle. Let me know what you guys think.
Currently taking:
Optimum 100% Whey
Cell Tech (workout days)
Creatine Mono + Gatorade Powder (non-workout days)
Multi-Vitamin
Universal Uni-Liver
Current stats:
Age 28
Height 6'0
Weight 185

Right now I'm at the lowest BF% I've been in a long time, which is about the same as the last pic. When I use one of those cheapo body fat testers it says that I'm between 8-10%, but I'm really not sure on its accuracy though.
I actually would like to get some opinions on what others think my BF% in the 3rd pic above is.

Probably about 10--12 %.
You need to be more relaxed and don't suck in your gut it makes you look really unnatural and fake.
Try posing it makes for a better picture, sucking it in makes you look like an old fat guy.
Overall I say you have some real potential.

I'd have to say:
Nice chest...can I borrow it for a few years?
Arms look to be lagging a bit, but it's hard to tell from the pics...Lets see some poses.
Front Double Bi
Ab shot
Back Double Bi
Calves
Quads look average you can tell they are worked.
What gets me is I see the same thing with your stomach that I see with mine. Granted yours is a bit more cut up than mine. But ya know how some people have that "inner bend" like a typical stomach does when bending at the waist...well you and I have the outter little pouch... But when we stand up...it simply doesnt appear to be there.
I've gotten my upper body shredded, veins everywhere (infact this was recently) and I still had the fat around my lower back/love handles and front lower abs. This is a trouble spot in the worst way.
You look good in your standing pic...i think pic 3 not sure though. you can even see the oblique lines and some upper abs...
Best advice I can give for that is diet. It will be the last place to go, and the first to come back, however once it's gone....hehe, life will be great.
I think of it like this...everything else will be supper shredded, then i get that lil' part off, and i'm gonna be complete!
You are doing well...again that Chest is killing me....i need to borrow that. Shoulders could use some military presses and arnolds. but you look solid man!
Keep it up!

Bro, don't get me wrong, constructive criticism and honesty is more than welcome here as long as it's presented in a respectful manner. Maybe nynsb's posts don't come across as disrespectful, but I think the fact that all he has done since he's registered is critiqued peoples pics (and it's always the same critque) is disrespectful in itself. That was my point.

Now, what that tells me is that you are not interested in learning or helping, only in criticizing. In 15 of your 21 posts you tell the poster that they are too fat or have too much bf or need more cardio. Which brings me back to my original question...who are you? More importantly, why should anybody give a shit about what you say. Constructive criticism is welcome but most times it is welcome from established members who have proven that they know what they're talking about, who have put in time helping here and sharing their experience, who have posted pics of themselves demonstarting that they know how to get things done. You have done none of the above, you don't have any stats in your profile, you've never once posted in any of the other forms and you seem to be obsessed with belly rolls and love handles. My advice to you would be, nut up and post some pics of yourself, prove that you know what your talking about...because until then, as far as I'm concerned, you comments hold absolutly no weight around here.
He doesn't seem bothered by my comment.
Don't you think people want to hear the truth.
I think the only way to improve your body is to work on your weaknesses, It seems to me if all we do is praise then people will stop trying to improve.
In my vocabulary when someone says what do you think, I tell them.
It's not about who knows the most it's about people's opinion, I am sorry if my opinion bothers you.
His first post states, What do you guys think.
I think he needs to work on tightening up his belly.
