...muscle weight that is. I'm in the gym 6 days a week. I decided to bulk up because wasn't happy with being slim and slender. I went from 175 to 205 and haven't went up in clothing size. This is the same shirt in both pictures. I love filling out my shirts now..lol.

This is my goal. I was a strongman before and while I don't anticipate that's going to be part of my life any longer, I do love being strong. Can't wait till I can touch a barbell again. Two and a half more weeks... two and a half more weeks... argh!

You look great! Curios: how did you change your diet to build muscle (more calories/protein)?

Thanks! I increased my calorie intake.

I have been working out too- am seeing a difference in my arms and legs- but I think my stomack is going to be like yours.

There is no other alternative than surgery for loose skin in the abdomen area.

I don't lift heavy weights. I lift manageable weights with high repetitions until failure. Whatever muscle group I'm working, I give it 48hrs before I work that muscle group again.

NICE JOB BUD! Way to be a proper example of determination! Keep fighting the good fight! Stay with the weights...even lighter with lots of reps! Again, NICE JOB...LOOKING GOOD!

I do both... lighter weights for more reps for time under load for size and endurance, and heavy weights for raw strength.

I'm with you on not overstressing the muscle groups. I won't even do front squats and back squats without three days in between.

You look fantastic. #goals
