I think that most people here have let themselves go at some point and then gotten back in. The good thing is that you're actually doing something about it! How many people do you know who don't like how their body looks and they don't get off their butts?
Looks like you already have some good thickness! Just eat enough and train hard and youll exceed your previous bests in no time. I know how easy it is to get discouraged. Stay focused and consistent and youll reach your goals!
The quality of the pics makes it hard to tell, but your back and arms looks solid. I'm not taking anything away from you, you've done great, but you chest looks a little smaller compared to the rest of you. Try doing a little more incline bench to get some more power then go back to the flat. You look good bro. Keep it going.
you don't look bad at all bran. you definitely got a good base and your waist is hardly huge. i actually think a guys looks better without a really small waist. a few months back in the gym, a little more toned, you will look great.
I say 15%. You look pretty good. As I was reading I really was`nt expecting what I saw when scrolled down. I`m guessing it`s your height because you look bigger than your weight. That`s a plus. I guess you don`t need 5000 calories a day like us 6 ft 3 guys. lol
Remember this is a lifestyle. It`s not something you do "on the side". Eating right is half the battle. Don`t let girlfriends or coworkers drag you down when it`s something that`s important to you. Again, looking good and thick... good luck
if you enjoyed spring break here, cum back for Mardi Gras and/or Southern Decadence!! Just keep an open mind and don't be offended by anthing you see or are offered. with the pics you have displayed, you will get offers from "both" sides of the fence.
Thanks maing. Nothing is stopping you from achieving similar results or even better than I have. Rome wasn't built in a day, keep working hard and learning and things are bound to happen. There is a lot of knowledge on these boards to help you along the way.
