Looks like your doggy wants some more camera time too.

yogro,
When I work my shoulders my vascularity always comes out especially well in my shoulder area and upper pecs. I also held my breath as I posed. Thanks for the comments!


karatetricker,
Wow, thanks Justin! I almost didn't even post it because I think I look kind of goofy. However, after thinking about it, I realized that if I only posted pictures in which I didn't look goofy, this thread would have zero posts.

Loki's such a camera whore. I wonder where he gets it from?

I want arms like yours . . .

So did I, so I started lifting weights and eating lots of good foods.

Well I'm a month into it I've lost half a stone in weight and am starting to see some definition in my arms and legs. Not my chest and stomach right enough - too much fat there!!

I'm starting off from a very similar position to you actually, although you're a bit taller. You were 215lbs at 5' 11.5", 30%BF and I was 200lbs at 5' 9" at somewhere between 25% and 30% BF. Each of the different methods I try returns a different result.

For me though, I'm trying to lose the weight a lot more slowly. I've only lost 7lbs in a month, which is more or less on target for what I wanted. According to my bodyfat analyser (tanita type thing) I've gone from 25% to 24% BF in the month. The mirror says something different.

I was in the gym today and a huge guy came in. He had some pretty good arms too. He wasn't from around here - 6' 2" black guys are pretty scarce in this part of Scotland He had an American accent and I think he was a basketball player, but I dunno. I'd like arms like his too!

You're looking great John, although I wouldn't pull that face . If I can get rid of the stomach, I'll be happy. I dunno what I'll do then . . .

That's about perfect - good job!

I have no idea what that means, but I suspect you may have just called me ugly!

Wow, strong arms! ;]

[John Stone]

I just finished my bicep/tricep workout. At was an excellent workout, but I'm going to try to tone things down a bit compared to yesterday's post.

Aw, screw that. So I'm passionate - sue me.

I went up in weights and reps on every excersize but DB tricep extensions. I would have gone up in weight on the DB tricep extensions, but I only have up to 70 pound DBs. I wound up doing 4 sets of 20, supersetted with 4x12 hammer curls. I did this superset last to make it more challenging since I didn't have heavy weights for the tricep extensions. I've got to get some more dumbbells this week.

I know I haven't taken many pictures lately, so I dusted off the old digital camera and took a few post-workout pictures. I was sweating like crazy, and my arms were 17.5 inches on the button.

In the last shot I didn't mean to have my eyes closed, I was exhausted and the timer went off before I was ready. It's actually more accurate with my eyes shut - I was seriously about to pass out.

If this is what you look like at the beginning or your bulk, I can't imagine how you'll look at the end! Impressed with your arms.

Thanks, carguy. Even though my arms are not my focus for this bulk, I expect to add no less than an inch to them before the bulk is over. They'll be over 17" cold, and at least 18.25" with a nice pump.

I don't know why I keep saying my back/lats, traps and delts are my focus - I'm working every body part as hard as any other. I guess mentally I'm more focused on bringing those areas up because they are comparatively weak.

Well I'm not surprised by these awesome photos. It's like I can't expect anything else. Ladies and gentleman, I give you the incredible swelling John Stone.

You've got to know your arms look amazing in these pics. I say you rip a phone book in half at the end of your next workout.

[soz]

Even your nose looks muscular.

[Daan]

John,

You are amazing, you keep on going and going and going...
You are really inspiring. Keep on posting those pictures, no mather how funny you look, it helps me reminding what my goals are.

Thanks,
Daan

John,

Looking fantastic, man!

[wh0rume]

John,

Do you own an axe?
I think you might be able to pull off the Ryan Reynolds pose that Gravityhomer and i have always wanted to try.

[Felipec]

John,
I've been visiting your site since 2003. I have always worked out (10+ years) but never took it really seriously. When I saw your site it just motivated me to workout harder, eat better and maintain myself more disciplined. Being a Network Admin also I sort of identified myself in your quest for health. It paid of because I managed to pack on 33 pounds of lean mass in the last two years. I've been your admirer and sort of compared my results with yours. But after these last shots, WOW MAN! You are freaking HUGE!! You just blew right by me on size, strength and you look ripped. I just gotta pay my respects. You owned me. Now I have to find some extra motivation to try to stay in your trail at least.

My sincere congrats.
From Brasilia,
Felipe

BTW - Love your dogs. They should get more camera time!

[Reeze]

I think I may have found the secret to John's success.
