Thread: Bobert's Progress so far

Okay... you're hairy :P

Ouch, hairier than you thought I would be? Am I hairier than you? See, I wasn't lying when I said I was going from pretty boy to beast!

nice progress.

About your dilema of either growing more or dieting down.......

If you have been eating high amounts of cals for an extended period of time and have not dieted in a while why not diet for a few weeks (mabye 4-6) and then get back on the bulking train. There is no better time to put on muscle then right after a diet as holding yourself in a calorie restricted state your body is really primed and ready to re-bound and go the other way. Also, if you have been over eating for awhile, dieting for a bit might be what your metabolism needs for a break to get fired up again. Like training, you can' go balls out 100% all the time. You need to periodize and work in times for un-loading or active rest to allow for recovery.

so then, you think I should continue to push it and see how large I can become? And not try to fight my body to make it a more streamline look?

no, right now just diet for about 4-5 weeks. this will not only lean you out but get your body reved up to push it some more. then, after the diet, go at it again and try and push up higher than you are now.

okay, cool

This was my original goal, by 22 I thought with alot of training, I might look something like this

I bypassed that a while ago, and I'm not so sure I can even get back to that point

that body looks......well average. he looks skinny to me.
You may like tthe Brad Pitt body, do a search here.....he's a favorite here.

I've gotten so round tho. Minotaur said he thinks I could be a "grade A powerlifter", and that I should just go with the flow. That sounds like fun and all, but wow, how big could I get?

This is the image I get when I think about power lifters

Which actually might happen to my body if it continues another few years like it has. But how do you live in a body like that?? haha. It is cool looking tho, very different from my original goal, and very different from my old look.
comments?

As long as my clothes fit and it didn't cost me a fortune to replace them, I'd kill to look like that. In fact, once I lose the excess fat (about 20 lbs) and know I can do it (it's hard because I am insulin resistant and prediabetic), I would love to bulk some more. My goal is to get my chest to about 48-50" (currently 47") and my arms to 18" (currently 17"), at my height of 5'5".

You do get used to the size; I can say that considering I was 137 lbs in a size 38 jacket 11 years ago, and am now 223 lbs in a 46-48. And I like it.

well, I'm pretty sure thats where I'm headed, only I will be the hairy version! Good bye old me, hello beast! haha

Actually, I need to accept that I will never be the "pretty boy" type anymore. Those days have expired, and the changes are irreversable.

So what I am going to do is embrace the changes, I'm not going for the swimmer bod/ Abercrombie Model look. I am going to start bulking, and I am going to let my chest hair grow out, and not trim it. And just let my body transform into the beast that it is screaming to become!

It'll be hard, but I don't think I have alot of choice, so I might as well embrace it to the fullest!
