Its hard to tell with only pics, because as I have often seen in life pictures can create a distorted view of reality.
first let me complement you on your hard work and dedication. You did not post any stats bf% ect. or your rountine, maybe theres another thread with all this info?
if you could post any of this it would be helpful...a program that would combine weights and cardio together might be very helpful.
you look great though
Thanks for your positive comments HI, I've just posted a brief overview of my diet/training regiment there. As for BF, what I wrote in the introduction was that I do not want to know what it is currently until I see a big enough of a difference in my body. Otherwise, I will get too distracted by the figures. I know in my head, approximately what I started off with tho.
Don't know if anyone else was interested, but this is what I just posted on that thread:
DIET:
A fairly clean diet, and something I can live with which conisists of low fat, high good-quality protein, and moderate, complex carbs....something like 45%P/40%C/15%F, TRYING to eat 5-6 small meals a day. (It's hard tho because I'm also taking xenadrine which kills my appetite.)
TRAINING:
Basically I have been sticking with something like:
Day 1: cardio (HIIT)
Day 2: bi/tri/chest
Day 3: cardio
Day 4: lower body/abs
Day 5: cardio (HIIT)
Day 6: bi/tri/back
Day 7: abs/rest
Alternating the frequency of upper vs. lower body from week to week, i.e., the following week I would swictch to doing lower body on the days I have down for upper body as mentioned above. I've seen pretty good results with this because with my body type, I don't have to work all that hard to gain muscle. I know I could do even better, but this is what I've been able to live with and incorporate into my life without me whining and complaining. I've learned from past experience, that I will just skip the entire workout if it becomes something that is more cumbersome to me rather than something that I look forward to and enjoy.
