Thanks! I don't think there is going to be a lot of difference between these pics and the last ones... have kind of been just stabilizing the last 1/2 of August. Getting ready for bulking up!

Today's workout...

Used straps for the first time on the rows and lat pulls... took me a few minutes to figure out how to get them situated

That's why the two sets on the pull downs. I also dropped weight on the hamstring curls so I could get the full range of motion in.

I thought that the creatine would help me advance through the weights... this week has been the flattest week that I've had for progress since starting HIT... should I be concerned?

Going to drink the sugar / creatine water Saturday and Sunday then be done with it

I think that I now have about 30 cavities!

Will also start 2450 calories on Monday

Time to put on some muscle

Time to do it brother! Eat good, lift heavy, and rest... We will see some growth.

Here goes the last post of this journal... will be starting a new bulking one on Monday.

What a journey this has been! Started at ~205 at the beginning of last year... down to 160 in August. I never thought it would be possible

Now it's time to bulk with a new confidence that I can achieve great results with my body...

The End of My 1st Cut... Aug 29...

The Beginning of The Journey... Beginning of April...

April-Aug..... BIG CHANGE!

Time to add some lean mass.

EXELLENT WORK!

GOOD JOB!

I'm currently bulking so if you need any support / advice just drop into my journal.

By the way, do you have Deadlifts incorporated into your training and what are your bulking goals??

Thanks... I have been watching your progress too... you are doing GREAT!

Unfortunately I am not doing squats or deadlifts. I work out in our small facility at work during my lunch break. It only has a universal machine that I have been using. I know that this is not optimum, but it is what I have to work with.

As far as goals... I am not really sure. I've been a skinny-fat guy my whole life (no muscle... but lots of fat) so I don't know what to expect.

Right now I am thinking that I would like to end up around 180 and under 10% bf. So, I am going to take the bulk month at a time and see where I end up... using how my body looks and feels as a guide.

Thanks Chris! There has been a huge change in my body over 45 lbs! (Almost 10" off my waist measurement!)

I can't imagine what 100 lbs must have been like for you

How about those progress pics I've been hounding you about?

Do you have any room at home for a simple 5ft barbell and possibly a basic bench. I think if you could add some serious definition to your back if you could start doing Deadlifts. It would also help to improve your posture (even more than you have already!) If you got a bench you could also start doing some Bench Presses that would help fill out your chest a little more.

I'm a great advocate of home gyms. You can train whenever you're at home with no waiting and no excuses!

I've been pretty much just maintaining... I keep all the new details in my new journal... Husky Again... http://forums.johnstonefitness.com/s...ad.php?t=48520

I think that I've added some muscle mass, but nothing drastic yet.

The new focus is to get stronger... I am not focused on hypertrophy... just getting stronger (but don't get over-fat)... then get ripped! I am a few months off with the seasons though (bulk will probably be ending right as fall approaches)... but I'm in no rush to get to the end point as I have finally realized that this is going to be a several year journey!

I haven't used fitday in a while... but here is my public link...

http://fitday.com/fitness/PublicJour...l?Owner=bakrbj

I'm sure you could correlate the dates to what you see in my journal if you want to see what I was eating at a given period. I switched over to the BodyShop offered by JSF instead of fitday... and am spotty with tracking right now.

Anyway, thanks for the compliment and work hard on your transformation!
