[McVein]

Cheers mate

4 or 5 months since the 1st pics i think

about a month and a half/2 months since the set in my sg were taken

was 10.5 stone (i think) when the 1st pics were taken

11 stone for the ones in my sig

and im 11.5 now...

i dont know what that is in kilos, i know that 11 stne is 70kg though

[Davidelmo]

Nice progress! Keep it up.

[McVein]

Thanks David

[McVein]

11.5 stone=161lbs=73kg

[TwiloMike]

I can see improvement, and that's :thumbup:. Well done, man.

[McVein]

[jalal90]

[McVein]

cheers mate...i was 16 when i joined the gym....almost a year ago now....just stick to it

[zela]

Awsome progress Chris, clean and a lean bulk, thats the way I would like to do it.

*1 stone=14.000000 pounds

[Gabrielle]

looking lean, man. You have great muscle maturity for a year of working out. Nice progress

[1mmort4l]

Nice work MCV! Defiantely looking a healthy lean mate.
Whats your next goal? Good luck and keep on liftin!

[McVein]

gabrielle: thanks, what do you mean by muscle maturity??

1mmort4l: cheers man, next goal??...i dont really have one...slows me down

[LivinItUp]

gabrielle: thanks, what do you mean by muscle maturity??

1mmort4l: cheers man, next goal??...i dont really have one...slows me down

Probably means they developed as though they've been worked out for a longer amount of time.

You're pretty damn cut, keep up the work though..if that's just 1 year then you're doing an awesome job :thumbup:

[-Superman-]

You look like me. I am not sure if that is good or bad though :).

[McVein]

thanks lads.....

youre a fair bit heavier than me superman, but thanks

[McVein]

[LivinItUp]

Legs are solid

I'd say EAT and pack some more mass on that chest and thicken up some, unless you like the really skinny type builds. Just my opinion :)

I think you'd be ballin' though if you thicken up

[McVein]

yeah im not stopping at this weight or anything..i wannabebig...er...

[LivinItUp]

Awesome man, well the work has paid off I can tell you're pretty solid

[McVein]

cheers, i appreciate the comments

[McVein]

Just a few snaps, thought I'd spice them up with a bandanna that I McGuivered out of a tea towel.

[McVein]

Mandatory bad lightung relaxed shot.

Poor lighting really does make you look bigger than you actually are.

[Chris Rodgers]

Looks like some good progress and quite gangsta with the bandana!

You are a skinny bastard like myself and chubrock. We all need to eat more.

[McVein]

thanks man

when the footbal(soccer) seasonis over, ill start putting some pounds on, its hard with all the cardio we do in training, also this is my last few months of school so there will be no studying or anything in the way

[McVein]

note the sick ass veins in my arms....hence the name

[zela]

What happened to your hips? I hate you for having no hips. Very nice looking delts/arms there.


front bi from the same "shoot"
Heh, looking good, mang.

[McVein]

lol, thanks mike.....hips are still there i hope? thats just a deceiving picture, thats how me and the shadows roll.

This multiquote thing is a bit too out there for me....im going to stick to the old bread and butter way...bloody global warming.

[TwiloMike]

lol, thanks mike.....hips are still there i hope? thats just a deceiving picture, thats how me and the shadows roll.
Well, introduce me to those nice shadows. I've got hips that can feed half the world's starving children.

[Built]

Nice leggies boy! And on a young man - so many young men are curl jockies. It's great to see one like yourself who has quad sweepage.

[McVein]

A MM shot from the same day, please be aware of BB posing rule #12

it states : it is impossible to look good whilst doing this pose.

you can see how small my chest is here..lovely.

[Con]

That there is why people erase their face from pics :p

Lookin good man but its mandatory for me to hate all lean people. Hence you suck.

Keep up the good work MC.

[Mik]

You need more fibre.


j/k looking good mate!

[Detard]

lol you should see my MM shot from last year. I look like i'm ****ting out a full cactus.

[McVein]

I dont know if anyone here is familiar with the tv show "father ted", but for anyone who cares, heres a pic taken today of me, the guy off the crisp packets, a babe, and Father Jack. Enjoy

[Kiwirower]

How cool! I love Father Jack. Did you get him to yell "Girls! Drink! Arse!"???

[McVein]

haha, no, ive seen him a few times , he goes mental if you ask him that.

[TwiloMike]

Dude, you need a tan.

[McVein]

I live in Dublin, not ibiza.

[TwiloMike]

I live in Dublin, not ibiza.

You guys don't have sun and fake-bake salons in Dublin? Ask a friend to spray paint you bronze... that's be cool.

[McVein]

..not for me thanksssss.

[tomv]

White is the new tan Twilo ;-)
MCV, who's the babe?... She's a babe :|
Father Jack is awesome!
"What do you say to a nice cup of tea then?

FECK OFF CUP!"

Hahahaha.

[TwiloMike]

White is the new tan Twilo ;-)
I didn't get that memo. Are you srrs? :omg:

[tomv]

Hahaha Nah, It's a memo I'm trying to push through though. Primarily because I'm so pale I'm bordering on translucent and I'm from Australia for god's sake! lol. Also it is better for skin elasticity (i've been told) and obviously skin cancers (my grandad also a red-head, suffered from them.)

[Powdered_Power]

Jaysus..father jack sure cleans up nicely doesnt he.

hahaha that was the tayto action thingy wasnt it? They went around to all the parties hq's in the upcoming elections or something like that...good shtuff.

ye look great man, like a slightly less attractive version of myself!

We just saw the outside pearse dart station on the way back from school, so hopped up there for a pic.

[McVein]

got a full body shot, cleaned my room and everything.........:hide:

[bill]

Excellent progress, proportions look great.

[McVein]

Tanks bill, im happy with my progress so far.

[McVein]

:whiner:

[McVein]

well....its that time again

[TheLion]

that girls hot. good progress. keep lifting

[McVein]

which girl?

[johndoe123]

nice u look ripp

[McVein]

Ha, I wish man. thanks though.

[Blood&Iron]

Shoulders are definitely a strong point. Dense.

You look a little bit like Budiak (older member) in the face.

[Unholy]

Very nice progress Leddy.

[McVein]

Budiak must be pretty hot.

Thanks guys.

[TwiloMike]

well....its that time again

Your symmetry annoys, me. :mad:

[TwiloMike]

Yes, I'm jealous. Good job, mang.

[Bako Lifter]

Nice pics tiny. Lookin buff.

[McVein]

Thanks gents.

[Fuzzy]

more calories! (read beer)

Only kidding, i just hate you lean bastards and want you to get fat.

[McVein]

Haha thanks man, i do need more cals, It just runs straight through me! ha.

[BBB]

Do you want some real criticism or do you just want your chain jerked?

[McVein]

I'd prefer some artificial criticism, thanks for trying to be funny.

[BBB]

I'd say you need to do some shrugs. Your back is getting a little big for your traps. Seeing as you are coming along quite quickly, they should catch up fast.

[McVein]

Im not really training for size as such, more strength and overall athletic performance, So i tend to stay away from isolation exercises like that.
I might do a few shrugs to keep up wth the rest, thanks.

[BBB]

If you don't like shrugs try hang cleans instead. They work the traps too and will help with athletic performance as well.
