This was the hardest phase. I stared gaining muscle without losing the fat. I felt like a big fat cow...

7 weeks. Ready to change up my workout a bit. Starting to feel a little better about myself.
|
|
 |
Jun 12, 2008
Not much change from last week. I think I may have even gone backwards. I haven't cheated on the diet. I need to hit the gym
|
|
 |
Jun 12, 2008
I still have a little to much junk in the trunk. I know this is the hardest area for me to control. I look forward to getting leaner.
|

Jun 19, 2008
I am hitting the weights now. My right arm is much bigger than my left. Years of sports. I need to work on my left arm.
|
|
 |
Jun 19, 2008
My back muscles are responding to the weights. My left arm is so bad.....Maybe I just need to learn to flex.
|
|
 |
Jun 25, 2008
Bum is getting tighter. Gotta keep the squats up..
|
|
 |
Jun 25, 2008
Starting to cut a little. Working hard on my legs with the weights. Trying to get my left arm to be as big as my right. Also trying t do a little more cardio. I don't see much change.
|
|
 |

cutting carbs now for the photoshoot
|
|
 |
Jul 3, 2008
I have just about made it through 12 weeks. I can't hardly believe it has gone by so fast. I still have a few weeks to the photo shoot.
|

One week away. My tummy is always hungry right now because I am low carbing it and I can't handle too much protein without the carbs

I asked my brother to leave my progress pictures unedited. I didn't think it was right to touch them up. Please don't be critical of his work. These are left plain on purpose.

I took a little time off after my 14 weeks and photo shoot. Now I am starting a bulking and muscle building stage. Especially in my legs. I am thinking I may compete in about 6 months time.
|
|
 |
Aug 8, 2008
I can really see from the picture that i am bulking. I am not really eating a lot more. I am still eating healthy, but i am purposefully growing my muscle. man, I bulk too easily..

Nothing really seems to be changing. If anything i am gaining weight... Started a carb cycle. I think I need to stop eating peanuts and peanut butter... lol...

Not really flexing to much. NO real change.
|

I finally got my hands on a posing suit. I had a carb load day yesterday, so I am a bit puffy, lol... But i like the suit. I will most likely add more sparkle to it.

I have been taking mitotropin and carb cycling for 4 days now. lack of carbs is helping take the pooch out of my belly.
