Thanks Guys,

You're right, I do have a have good coach, I think my wife and I are his little project. We do exactly what he says without any questions - apart from hamstring curls, and we are getting the result (Blows his own trumpet).

I know I have been talking about it for a while but I am thinking that I should get some more photos done and post up a quarterly update. Will wait till next week and you never know, I may finally have summoned up the courage to post them.

So, here we go - here is the picture that inspired by new found love for weight training and dieting!!! I can't believe I'm doing this but you should really get an idea of where I have come from. I know it looks like some body for life thing with the newspaper, it was the wifes idea so I could prove how quickly I had transformed by body shape. So here goes, me in my pants at 113kgs - not pretty...

The second photo is after 12 weeks of training, so this was back in March/April - I will post a more recent pic soon, when I have one.

Quite a change I reckon

Mate you've certainly leaned up in those 12 weeks.

What weight were you in Pic 1 and 2? And what weight are you now?

How come everyone always holds something? I've seem loads of posts on T-Nation with people holding shoes...

CMinOZ

first pic 113kg second pic about 93kg now I am 96.5kg but leaner still at 12.8% - target is 8% by December

20kg drop is HUGE mate. So well done.

What do you estimate your BF% to be in each pic?

Is that about a 6in waist reduction from photo 1 to photo 2?

CMinOZ

Hello mate

Yes, it was at least a 6inch decrease in my waist measurement. In terms of Bodyfat, when you are as large as I was it is quite difficult to take a decent reading as there is just so much. As you can see, I store a lot of my fat around my waist making it really tough to get a decent reading. Considering the measurements taken at weeks 2, 4, 6 , 8 etc we believe the BF% at the beginning was in the region of 28-30% - real heart attack territory.

In the second photo I am at about 15% if I recall correctly. I really must put up a recent photo so that you can hopefully see the difference.

Mate thats a huge drop in only 3 months - did you loose much strength in that time?

Can't have been much muscle as it looks as though the loss was nearly all BF (bit of water, tiny bit of muscle)
