The recordings of me hopfully becoming a "tank!"

[kornmong]

Hey all,

This part of the site is quite interesting to read, It great seeing and reading about progress and I hope to do as well,

I weigh 155 and my height is 5, 10", and I don't know what my body fat is but I predict in the 12 - 14% range, judging by pics and myself, I also have just ordered some fat calipers so I will be able to see what it really is

I have lifted On and off, inconsistently for the last few years, This Time Its time! to change, and be consistent, my figure has also always been the same except its gotten a little bigger,

Ive always wanted bigger arms and calves but have never succeeded in being consistent enough to see results. This time round I plan on being consistent, I have been going to the gym for 8 weeks before I found this part of the site,

I started on 14/1/08

I don't have access to pics right now, But the main thing that annoys me is all my fat is in my love handles and stomach, and I have a very ripped back compared to my front, like when you see some pics you'll go wtf haha

My wrists is 6.5"
My forearms are 11"
My upper arms and calves are 13.5" flexed
My Chest is 38" relaxed
My thighs are 22" relaxed, measured at top but no glute included
My waist is 32"

My Currents Lifts:
Max

Benchpress: 90kgs
Squat: 120kgs
Deadlift: 170kgs

My Lift goals:

Benchpress: 100kgs
Squat: 150kgs
Deadlift: 200kgs

I Only have One size goal and that is 15" upper arms and to keep other parts in proportion as much as my genetics allow

Hope to progress

Heres some present pics of me, which I hope to very much change








Thanks Cya
