This was week 0 of a BFL Challenge that I had done. Ended up not finishing the 12 weeks, but I kept working out..

I love the way my stomach shrunk... man do I have a lot of work to do and BF to get rid of and these are OLD!

This was week 4 of a BFL Challenge I did in 2006. I did very well during this challenge and finished it. Dropping my BF% from 23 to 18 and my weight dropped as well. I am posting these older pics as motivation for my next "personal transformation challenge".

The Latest - Lots of work to be done!

Just a latest shot of where I am today. I like th side shots because they seem to demonstrate my stomach and how far I need to go!

I was on vacation and I ate like crap and was drinking a lot of beer. It shows!

Shot of my abs as they are today.

Just a quick shot of my bicep progress.

Side shot of my triceps and chest. Lots of work to do on my chest.

OK - This isn't a progress picture, but since I keep blogging about my bad back I thought a shot of my MRI might help explain my situation. The disk that is causing me the real issue is the one between L4/L5, it seems to be pushing on my nerves. My weight is still down to 183 and my stomach has come in to 34.5 inches from 39. Not bad with a bad back is it?

As you can see from this picture taken 1/15/09, my back was a mess. This was my attempt to stand up straight!

My new starting point 6 months post back surgery, with 5 months of intense core training PT, but diet has been a mess.
