Finding Before and After Pictures of men is proving difficult as the main forum is mainly women. I think we men should share some success photos here in the guys forum. I will share as soon as I have some results. Surgery in 1 month! I need some inspiration.

I've been hitting the gym for months now with emphasis on cardio and some lifting. My lifting has been very light weight, but, it's making a difference. The irony to this is that I've never been interested in muscle building. The wife tells me that my physique is changing and encouraged me to take pictures. Well, here I am. It is a strange feeling, but, I have to admit that I like. jake

I had a HUGE day today! So good in fact, I'm going to start another thread about it. But I did want to post an update on my traps/shoulders:

I'm going to use this as my starting point and work to tune-up from here.

Another post-gym picture.

Check my pics!

2 months out, 50 pounds down.

Still a work in progress.

I am trying to switch from fitness / cardio to more intense weight lifting, bodybuilding.

Goal is to drop body fat with weight and keep muscles. I am trying to get 120-130 grams of Proteins a day.

still challenging.

I am starting a new workout routine effective June 1st. So I am posting a starting picture here and we shall see if there are any gains made. I am switching from muscle groups to a push/pull splits. So instead of arms, chest, shoulders on different days, I am doing Chest & Tri's, back and bi's, etcetera...

This is just a standing picture, no flex or tension. So my subsequent pictures will have to be the same.

@@BigViffer that split is what I've been doing for a few months. Solid strength gains so far. Almost as strong as I was pre surgery. You'll be happy with the results

Do you guys have an example of your workout? I was wanting to try something different.

Jesus man, the first day was rough. I usually do an opposite lift between sets and I tried that with my chest and tri yesterday. I am amazed at how quickly my triceps exhausted! My working set for the presses were way down. I can see where the benefit comes from this routine, it will have to build endurance.

Since I am just starting this routine, I am still in the discovery phase. I will be learning as I go which exercises group together best. My routine for the last year is posted on here already though and it is pretty well explained:

I plan on making a thread soon on this. Maybe before the weekend.

Forgive my vanity, but my wife took this picture of me folding a towel this morning and even I was shocked by it. I can never see my back so this was a surprise to me!

Hey man. Nice work. Any major loose skin issues? I'm a little over a week post op and concerned about chest and lower stomach skin going to be excessive.
