Thanks to this site i have my diet underway and my learning more every minute im on this website. So THANKS.

again they suck and im ashamed lol But hey here they are.

Great progress dude! Congratulations on your gains; keep it up... I'm checking out your diet, as I'm trying to implement a better diet regime.

["Maximus"]

Ur diet seem to be fair and ok... you got some feedback already from more experienced/advanced users so just do as they suggest. Personally though, I notice that you can make better food choices but if what you've been doing has worked, just implementing Nova's suggestion should help you on getting even better results.

[xo3et]

thanks Maximus for the input i really apreciate the help.

Any more advice on the diet please fire away in the other thread as it would give me some more options. I mean im new to cooking also.

Ill keep this thread alive, so everyone will see im as dedicated with this as i was with my boxing

[elpropiotorvic]

keep doing that training man good job..fighter too

[xo3et]

Ok a little update.
I have put 4lbs weight on . Now 187lbs

Please say what u think, i dont get offended


My diet is roughly the same as 1st post.
8am Porage 3 egg whites
9am Protein shake
11am Steak or chicken breast with broccoli & rice
1pm tuna sandwich & another 2 boiled eggs
2pm pre workout - 2 scoops whey and bannana
4pm post workout - 4 scoops why and 2 egg whites
6-7pm - steak with patato & broccoli
9pm 3 scoops protien shake
9:30ish - 2 white bread with Natural Peanut butter

my diet does varry but i try to stick to same amount of eating times and along the same lines of protien/fats/carbs. So i eat good and lots of it

I am DEFINATLY getting stronger in the gym. My gym buddy says all the time. So i just want to eat eat and eat to gain mass then i go from there.

any thoughts chaps/ladys ?

Gioooood

[inky-e]

Keep up the good work!

[xo3et]

thanks, i know its now much improvment but i just want to be sure im on the correct path.

I did my first run wensday for the first time in around 8-9weeks. Was only 4miles and to be honest i felt a lot fitter than i thought i would be. Although i didnt time my run so it was probably poor compared to my previous times "i use to run 4/5times a week 6-10miles".

Next update will be in a month time.

[412smb412]

u have way too many shakes
get some more protein from real food good work though keep up the hard wrk

[bodybldr]

awesome transformation dude

[xo3et]

Here is another update, this time its been around 3mths since my last photos. I'm now around 13st 6lbs. Put around 3 or 4lbs on since last pictures. Defiantly stronger in the gym.

My diet as similar to previous post however i put a typo, i have a tin of tuna instead of the 3rd shake.

Please comment willingly, also what is my BF% at a guess?
Thanks

[WARMachine]

Maybe a bit bigger, but the BF% is pretty much the same. -/+ 2%.

I feel a little more weight around the chest.

What would you say roughly my BF% is? Would 12-14% be a good guess?

Also thanks for posting and to everyone previous, i believe i am training and eating right just takes so long to see gains.

[WARMachine]

Yes 12-13% would be a fair estimate.

[ray0414]

ur gettin there, it doesnt happen over night but with time u could look pretty kick ass. but good progress!

[oc pitbull]

dude gratz on those pics. man i train also love to see fellow fighters doing good.

[xo3et]

I was thinking around that figure so i wasnt too far out. Thanks again

thanks dude, i train hard when i am in the gym and i eat like a horse. My old man was into training and was a real lump. Just wish i was those few inches taller like him but i suppose everyone thinks that. cheers again mate, hopefully my next update will be with me past 14stone.

dude gratz on those pics. man i train also love to see fellow fighters doing good.

Cheers bro, from boxing to weights my body has really taken to it. Especially the food, i always put weight on easy and for once i can eat lots. The main thing i have brought with me from boxing days that is helping me is my commitment to eating decent food. But boy do i miss the ring.

14stone here i come

[youngNhungry]

awesome progress. its even coolers that you're keeping good records.

[thetank]

I have been reading so much on here and i always found it interesting to see how the body can be shaped. So taking pictures every month or 2 is something i look forward too.

Thanks dude, its taking its time but i am enjoying myself which is all that matters. My goal is to reach 196lbs so i am eating and training to reach this. My BF% is still remaining pretty close although i expect a bit more. My jogging must be keeping it where it is.


Again appreciate it lads, not a massive difference but the amount i am learning from you guys on here is crazy.

[mperk]

Hey Man - Nice progress - keep it up - you're def adding some thickness!

[xnotoriousx]

nice gains man, when you reach your goal weight and cut, you're going to be a beast.

[Sherman01]

You working those wheels man? Squats and deads?

[xnotoriousx]

I do these once a week, i must add though i have not spent much time on legs, although i have started doing one day during on weekend at the gym working legs which ill continue.

I think he's been cheating a little but still great progress!!

Thanks mate, i have a few other pics ill upload. Training is going well and i can defiantly see my body growing although very slowly

[xo3et]

UPDATE, April 16th 09

Its been around 3-4mths since my last set of pictures.

My weight now is 187Lbs

I have been training legs which i wasn't before, they are stronger but not much increase in look.

My diet is still spot on, tuna,eggs,chicken,oats,s patatos and rice. With my whey shakes x1 per day.

Not the best pics and i know i dont look great but my strength has dramatically improved.

[xnotoriousx]

Arms, pecs and delts have all improved nicely. Very good work keep it up bro, moving in a very good direction.

oh and pull your underware down, noone wants to see that buttcheek.... lol jk

[xo3et]

Yeah sorry about the underwear man, wasn't informed i had a cheek on show.lol

I'm still a ling way from where i want to reach, i want to get to 220lbs, i know its a long way from where i am now but its where one day i will get to.

I have HAVOC and H-drol which ill run when i get a steady 2mths. Also test-e and dbol cycle for around xmas if things go to plan.

Legs today

[stpete]

Nice progress. Keep up the good work.

[DSM4Life]

oh and pull your underware down,

Your so g@y

[ronan the barbarian]

great progress so far,just to confirm..are you all natural?
cus if you are (which i think you are) it shows all the lazy people on here what can be done with hard work,diet and rest,
keep up the good work...maybe we have another perfect beast thread in our midst.

Hey thanks for nice comments, all natural. I use Protein shake after each workout. Creatine and glutamine and lots of effort in diet.

I do have some Havoc which i will use in a month or two. I also have Test-E and dbol for a cycle but this wont be for at least another 8-12mths.

But for now all natural with diet the focus

[xo3et]

Update,
Currently 193lbs. this is my morning weight as soon as i wake before any drink etc.

Currently running Hdrol cycle which i am seeing good strength gains.
My current diet is HERE

What do you all think, i have come a long way in terms of strength. here are 2 i exercises i have noticed a good increase.
Bench 100kg 8 reps, then drop to 90kg and do 8 more reps for 3 more sets.
Deadlift, 150kg 8reps 4sets.

I know my BF% is probably around 14% and this is the heaviest i have ever been

Thoughts please??

[Matt]

I will tell you this bro, you've come a long way, man your looking big..

With your workout try and do it the other way round lol. Do 8reps at 90kg x2 then go 6 at 100kg and then 4 at 110kg, imo its better to work up that way. I do it that way and every week i can add small amounts of weight, then before you know it you'll be doing 160kg for 8 reps...

But you should be feeling really good bro, great work...

[Tigershark]

Keep up the good work.

[The Deuce]

Wow Bro !!! That's amazing Progress !!! Good FVCKING JOB !!!

Keep up the Good work and DON'T GIVE UP !!

[xo3et]

Mad MAtt,Tigershark & The Deuce.

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. My legs have gained some size as these have been my focus since i was told i needed to work them a while back. Matt i will do as you have said regards the lifting.

I am in this for the long run, i am 100% dedicated I get told i am looking in great shape by some mates and people i have not seen since i boxed are SHOCKED. I mean i have gained nearly 19kg since i stopped boxing.

For now i live training/eating. I am addicted to the entire aspect of it all

Thanks again..
