Pics after 18 months.

Nath · 27-11-2007, 01:36 PM

Hello all, took a couple of pics this morning so thought I'd upload them, please be gentle with ur comments, I realise I have a LONG way to go, but I guess thats why most of us are here. ANyway, any comments and advice are gratefully recieved =)

I have been training for about 18 months although I strongly believe that it's only in the pst 6 months i have made any progress as I am still feeling my way around the gym ad refining/tweeking my workouts. As yet, I have avoided turning to steroids as I have been happy with my training naturally, I do however use creatine and the occasional ECA stack so not 100% natty 8)

I have found my strength is really improving however, I feel I lack in physique. This maybe because I definately am guilty of overtraining and despite being completely aware of it, I can't seem to drag my self out of the gym........AAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!!

Crikey, I'm nervous about the potential onslaught......

This is me about 18 months to 2 years ago before I started training

looking well fella, but i dont know wot u looked like 18months ago

i dont see creatine as cheating fella, its found naturally in ur body and meat products.
If ur wanting to get bigger, im not sure y u'd want to use eca stacks just yet? unless ur using them on workout days to improve concentration.
Took me a while to convince myself that gym 5-6 days a week might not be good for my targets. rest to grow, i workout 3 days a week.

Thanx man, just whacked up a 'before' shot.
Yep, have been using ECA Stacks occasionally to give me a pre-workout boost, esp on days when I havent had time for a good breakfast.
I guess I need to assess my goals. Thing is, I started going to the gym just to shed a few pounds and allow guilt free weekend hedonism. I did however develop a love of training and started hitting the weights. Never really had too many goals, just been riding the crest of a wave and seeing what happens.

Gee man, im the first to slag pics of, you know people thinking there better than they are type of thing. However dude, you qualified that thing, welcome to MC.

Keep it up you got great potential there. They are the best before and after pics ive seen on here to date mate. There is defo a big difference, your done well.

Thanx for the comments guy's it's nice to get some reassurance that things are on the right track, I shocked myself a bit to be honest, I hadn't really looked at my before and after pics before and as I see myself everyday, it's easy to miss the development. Thanks again all, really appreciate the positivity!!!
I'll get going on a log so hopefully you guys can give me some solid training advise.

You made some good gains!

Now train twice as hard to make twice the gains

Nath · 28-11-2007, 08:15 AM

Just off to the gym now, I'll start compiling a log when I return and would appreciate any advise.
