Your abs are sick, and your arms look great too. A little more work on the pecs and you'd be absolutely perfect, IMO. :)

Thanks Maria...a little too hunky in my opinion. That's what water retention does for you. Looks like I"m hiding some accorns in my cheeks, ya know? *note to anyone thinking of using testosterone without having a very good diet beforehand. Even Arimidex did nothing to help prevent the water.:| Young and dumb
 
its taken me an hour to figure out how to post these

The difference between your before and after pictures is amazing. Do you mind if I ask what kind of workout program you use? I really struggle to gain muscle mass and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I started a new program recently that I hope will yield results, but so far it is too early to tell.
 
Diet is very key. From the moment you wake up until right before you go to bed you should be consuming lots of clean healthy calories. Simple carbs (sugars) right when you wake up and post workout. I try to eat about 180-200 grams of protein a day spaced out between 4-6 meals. Also supplement with shakes, multivitamins (my favorite is animalpak) and aminos.

My workout is pretty simple. 6 days a week, about 2 hours each workout with this split:
Sunday- Triceps, Rear Delts
Monday- Back, Biceps*
Tuesday- Front Delts, Side Delts, Traps
Wednesday- Legs, Cardio**
Thurs- Chest, Triceps*
Friday- Biceps
Sat- Off

*I do a quick couple exercises for biceps/triceps after back/chest to get a good pump, not too intense though.
**I don't want big legs, so I just do 6 sets of 20 squats with light weight, then do some intervals on the treadmill for about 2 miles.
***I do abs every other day.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need some good exercises for each muscle group, I'll break it down even further.

That is one impressive transformation man. Seems like the unnecessar money shot was a little intentional man!!%) I'm sure you've acquired a few new female fans here on B.L. Set that camera up a little higher!!:D
 
^ yeah or just crop it for fucks sake! :!

nah just playin' its all good (weiner, no weiner whatevs).

whats your rep scheme like? It wasn't until I started doing high rep stuff (like 12-20 rep sets thrown in there and sometimes 5-8 rep stuff for a foundation) that I started gaining. I was real skinny though...I had like no foundation at the beginning (still small though hehe :D).

I think for real skinny dudes high rep stuff puts on some hypertrophy. Then you can go back and work on 3-5 rep stuff for max strength (well not technically max but pretty close).
 
had my last kickboxing and boxing cardio classes tonight. after a few weeks off, i had to push hard to get through both classes to the end.

here're my knuckles. i had 8 bright red knuckles when i got home.

they'll be bruised for a while


last classes since i will be getting into a mortgage shortly, so some extra expenses must go.
 
damn, portillo is buff! nice one dude. i've been going to boxing works on castlereigh street. good workout tuesday nights.
 
actually i didn't for years, but for the last several months i have been wrapping them quite well under my big gloves.

my punches are just like speeding freight trains i guess ;)
 
Oooooh sore pink hands! I hope you dont wash them right away after boxing or else your veins will pop out like a mofo even more :D

yea i was trying to recreate the mark walberg calvin klein ad for one of my female friends lol, and i had to use my laptops webcam. for some reason i cant crop pictures that i take with it.

as far as rep schemes go, i used to count reps religiously, usually using the 12 10 8 6 pyramids, but after a while you just start to learn about yourself and know when youre feeling good. now i just do 4-6 sets, warming up with about 50% max weight for the first set and adding weight from there. i basically just do as many as i can, never going over 12 reps. i use a lot of drop setting(immediately taking off weight after a set and going for 6-12 reps or until failure) and rest pauses(resting for 15-20 seconds and putting up 4-6 more reps of the same weight) when i feel like i need to pump out some more.

i go home for 2 weeks in april and im pretty worried that im going to jump right back in to the drug scene. actually im 100% sure i will because this plane of sobriety ive been living on for almost 8 months now is making me crazy. hopefully i dont get too fucked up and can still maintain while im home.
 
i managed to get into a gym for a week on a trial basis, and i really liked how it turned out. being able to do different types of cardio in combination with a greater array of free weights and machines was just fun. the environment is nice too. i feel my health is worth the monthly payments and once i'm working again i will definitely be getting a membership

been workin the chest too :D

and to just comment, it's crazy to look back on pictures from just mere months ago and see the improvement a little time and effort can make in your aesthetics and your overall health. i feel much more energetic than i did in february, and even the act of looking up excercises and dieting/nutritional information makes the whole ordeal much more satisfying when you compare them
