Default Re: Pikey's progress

Good question, when I was power lifting the heaviest I competed at and in shape would be 75K class, probably weighing about 4K I ate up into the 82.5 once or twice just to pi55 a mate off and beat him but that would have been the low end of the class. My physique has totally changed, power lifting I had heavily muscled quads for a 11 1/2 stone bloke and my upper body was more toned than anything, I was nowhere near as lean, probably wouldn't have had the main vein showing on my bicep and might have seen the outline of my abs.
It’s a totally different sport, the training is very different as is the diet. I've had a look and I have some old photo's I'll see if I can scan them and if they are good enough quality to post up, some of me lifting in comp not that they show my shape much, under the inzer power suit and raps - but you can see I'm not heavily built. But then I'm not a heavily built bodybuilder and don't have big bones or a big frame.
If I get chance I’ll also scan some photos from my first bodybuilding comp and then Sunday, the first time on stage I weighed 71K and although I thought I was lean I was nothing like as lean as I can now get, Sunday on stage I was about 79K but a few K leaner than at 71, I think I’ve put a good twenty pound of lean tissue on since the first show in October 2005.
