First Pics

swrutt

These are my first pics which i am uploading. I have been training for around a month and have lost about 16 pounds of fat. I have just this week started a 5 day split which is on a 24 week plan. I am also on a good nutrition plan so i am hoping to lose the fat slowly over the next 6 months (i want to lose around another 15-20 pounds) and build/maintain/tone current muscle. I am naturally strong and am improving on my lifting well. I have also already started to notice some tone appearing through the fat. Also i have a curvature of the upper spine (too many video games growing up) which i am attempting to correct building transverse abs, shoulders and delts etc. Hopefully i can pulll everything back into the correct position over the next few years. Let mek now what you think although it is hard to see any muscle under the flab!! Gotta get the tits burnt too and a tan haha

hey dude if you could get into the habbit of a daily stretching routine you should be able to sort out your spinal curvature.

Hi mate, you've a good frame there to build on, you should be able to sort out your posture easy enough - stick to the plan and shit can the game boy :-)

you have got a good frame to start with, once you have lost the weight, i'm sure you can build up a decent physique.

by the way, i like the Mr T poster, lol

Clubber Lang is the man! Cheers for the support guys. I am trying to stretch out my pecs as i have been told they are probably shortened due to lack of development of back muscles. Dont really know how much i have to work with yet. That will come over next few months as i work the fat off. I am also trying to engage transverse abs 30% all the time and bring my shoulders into the correct allignment. I will post more pics in a month.

Yeah he looked the bollox in Rocky!

Don't get hung up with your muscle length posture etc, you present yourself as a basket case and you just look to me like most lads who haven't been doing much exercise etc learn good form on all exercises, execute them properly, you've got a good diet plan just stick with it and things will sort themselves out. You've a big frame which is a good place to start from.

It takes alot of balls to put up pics of your self at the first stages.Much respect.16lbs of fat loss in a month is fantastic.Most people have the groundworks of a good body there they just don't realise their potential.Seems like you have a good attitude for the lifestyle too.Keep learning and applying.

FAT BOY

agree with all of the above i have seen guys start off with a lot worse shapes than you m8 and they have gone on the build good physiques. photos are a invaluable tool . taking a good hard look at yourself is one of the hardest things to do . so you have made a great start .

keep us posted
