This is about a year after I started training seriously. My training was on point but my diet wasn't. People were saying to me I had a "good body"... but good was never good enough for me I wanted more, and I wanted better!! Soon after this, personal events taught me that life is too short to accept mediocracy, so I started to research into nutrition, with the goal of achieving more definition, strength and size.

I took this while in the changing room of Levi's in London, Covent Garden... that was a bit of unnecessary info but hey what else can I say....HARD WORK PAYS OFF!!!!

This is about a year after I started training seriously. My training was on point but my diet wasn't. People were saying to me I had a "good body"... but good was never good enough for me I wanted more, and I wanted better!! Soon after this, personal events taught me that life is too short to accept mediocracy, so I started to research into nutrition, with the goal of achieving more definition, strength and size.

A year later training with intensity and a basic but good diet my body began to change. All my friends were using every protein shake under the sun, but I was growing without them so I just stuck to what I was doing.

I had improved alot since starting but to me this still wasn't good enough I wanted more definition and muscle separation, so my lower abs would show, I then introduced weighted hanging leg-raises into my routine.

This was my 1st back pic!! Until this point I had never actually seen a pic of my back so I actually managed to surprise myself!! I could feel my body changing, my workouts consisted of heavy weights and compound exercises like deadlifts and squats!!

More ab work = better abs!

...at this point I felt huge!! Months of intense deadlifts will do this to your back...I promise!!

Decided to get a bit leaner I was going to miami and I didn't want to scare everyone on the beach :)!!!

I took a photo of my shadow in Miami...I'm quite surprised by my silhouette!! Oh and I did scare everyone at the beach...but in a good way of course :)

On South Beach, during my Miami holiday.

My holiday in Miami was crazy!! I was a tourist myself, but tourists kept on coming up to me asking to take pictures!!! ... that doesn't happen in London!!!

After Miami I had lost a bit of size so I got straight back on it and put on alot of lean mass.

satisfied with progress, could always be bigger and more cut so I'm going to keep going.

yeeaah!! Vascularity is starting to appear!!

Arms are getting there. My arms used to be my weakest body part.

Introduced alot more inner chest work!!!

Weighted hanging leg raises = This picture.

Developing my arm-wresting weapons!

I'm slowly but surely improving on the details while trying to maintain a lean and full physique.

My legs are my proudest body part!!! I hate training legs but I'm turning that hate into a personal challenge!!

Still training hard. Getting more ripped with increased strength!! I'm going to keep going!!!!!!!

After a good hot long summer of training in parks and running in the sun this is the result. I am happy but the only way is forward.

Me... in a white vest.

I took this while in the changing room of Levi's in London, Covent Garden... that was a bit of unnecessary info but hey what else can I say....HARD WORK PAYS OFF!!!!

Systematically building every muscle group!! Grrrrrr!!

Still carving out day by day.
