I'll do a quick picture summary..

The beginning '06

End of the cut Sept '06

http://www.ipulse.co.uk/images/cutcomplete3.jpg



I decided that I would live my life, with the mentality of being fit for life.

I kept up the training making gains, and upping calories, live life, and try and keep at it.

I think I have succeeded in making healthy eating and eating the correct foods a major part of my lifestyle.

I'm cycling a avg of 30 miles a week to work and back, and still training 3 times a week on bodyweight exercises.

The trigger which started this change of events was when a friend asked me to a push up in Jan '06. I couldn't do one. :o

I'm pleased to say I can now do 35 full push ups in 60 seconds, and my gains on chin ups and pull ups are going strong too.

I feel so much stronger now, everything about my personnal opinon of myself as changed. I feel a man.

Anyhow.

Here are the recent pictures.

Good Job..:tu:.whats the weight difference between the two pictures?

At my heaviest during 2006, I was over 180lbs, I'm now at 142lbs.

Nice bike :) Excellent progress!

Great progress and nice ride!

So what is next for you in your fitness pursuits?

Just keep it up really, never fall behind with training or diet.

See where it goes. :tu:

Would like to add some good lean mass over this year, add maybe 6-8lbs. See how it goes. :eat:

Nice Kwack. Even nicer Lid. I have an AVG one that looks very similar.

I would try your hand at a bulk. Change things up and try a new diet and lifting challenge. :)

Well done on your transformation thus far.

Progress Pictures, March 08.

4 weeks into my slow bulk.

I think I have thickened up quite nicely thus far, about 3lbs gained.

Looks like you're bulking very steadily, as the fat you cut isn't even showing up at all, and I can definitely see the extra mass. Great job!
