I know I know Im fat

[ct67_72]

I thought I would start a pic thread for myself. try to keep track of progress. and yes I know Im fat, im working on it.
Im back in lifting after about a year and a half or so of being lazy, and about 3 years since any serious lifting.
This is my second week and weight is 210 (5'9" tall)



and please dont mind my stupid faces

[Ben Moore]

Really not that bad to start. The biggest thing is your starting. Might be time for a new shirt though...

[ct67_72]

lol yeah , were in a heat wave and its the coolest thing I could find

[ct67_72]

one of my problems in starting and stopping is I hate my local gym only a handfull of guys who squat or deadlift and mostly machines. Its like a social club in there, more people talking than working out but you cant get on anything. Now that I bought my own equipment I think Ill finally keep going. I just hate the gym, but I love to work out.

[BCorn]

well.....looks like you got a pretty big frame to start with......so you should be fine. at least your not scrawney guy like me......

[Tennessee Mike]

Fat?Sounds like you have a chick complex..

You need to bulk up son!

[ct67_72]

Ill get a pic of my stomach and sides later. believe me. 5'9" 210

[CleverName]

Lot of potential to be a powerhouse I'd say...

[berfles]

You really don't look like 210lbs for being 5'9...

[ct67_72]

Ill get the pics of my mid section lol. I also rode bmx for a number of years and it did my legs pretty well, so I think my lower body makes up a lot of that as well.
oh and you can tell because I have like no arm definition and they arent tiny, I can curl 60lb dumbells, when Im lifting they look ok but other than that they are just kind of rounded, and I have a 38 inch waist

[Unholy]

210 at 5'9"? I don't bite. I'm 5lbs heavier then you. 4" taller, and look WAY bigger =o

[ct67_72]

lol Im not bragging that Im 210, the title does say Im fat.

[Patriot 1776]

Sweet ink bro


Just keep pressin on with diet and training and you will see good stuff down the road.

rock it out

[ct67_72]

Im still fat but I got a enw shirt and some new pics, that hopefully look better

[mrelwooddowd]

Have you gained weight?

[ct67_72]

Im a little over 220 now so I gained a few. I can say I see it a lot more in person. I can say however since those pics my bench went up 75+ lbs. I havnt tracked my deads or squat because Ive been taking them slow after breaking my leg in march. my overhead press went up 30 lbs as well.
Im like 24% bf so I hate to rally pack in calories afraid that Ill be fatter than I am.

[mrelwooddowd]

If you've only gained 10lbs, then you've done well. You looks at least 20lbs bigger, but without much fat gain.

[Nosaj]

Nice shirt, big upgrade. Skin looks better too. Shave those pits, get a tan. Keep up the solid effort. Start cutting by Feb. to get to low teen bf% by summer.

[ct67_72]

lol yeah the shirt was a big step. in the first pics I had just got over the flu and pneumonia and aparenty after sitting on the couch for a week and not moving I got a rash.
Im actually down a notch on my belt and I eat a ton.

[Delinquent734]

im 5'9 215 and you look like you have much more muscle than me
