Canadian working out again after 5 years

[CanadianGordon]

Im taking time off till I can afford to go to a gym.. And yes I did get paid today.. However I'm being smart, and pricing the gyms.. Not just jumping into it.. lol.
And yeah it is impressive.

[CanadianGordon]

Hey guys, I sorta got a pic done of me.

Some screwed up promotion thingy for Mountain Dew...
But hey a free photo is a free photo.
I'm the red head with the t shirt that says "Canadians Kick Ass".
I didn't realize how good I look.

[CanadianGordon]

Hey guys, finally got the pictures sent to me. Here are the sigh, updates.
A little more fatter than I wanted to be but better than nuthin!
Note: You can probably tell, I've spent more time indoors... I'm wayyy too white again. Not much colour... Hopefully that'll change... Now if I can just cut back on the sweets and the bread and the rice cakes... lol.

More pictures will be posted shortly. Here are a few to tide you over...

I'm afraid I never was much for balance. Thusly why I'm not a waiter. lol.
My legs are pretty big.
I wear a size 34/32 pants. I have to. My thighs are huge. lol.
More pics forthcoming in a few days.
Any other comments bois?

[CanadianGordon]

The morons at the place who make the outfits we wear for work have changed their sizing.. I finally got my 2nd pair of pants after two months of waiting. And they're a size too small! My legs look like kegs, which isn't comfortable to move in. My coworker suggested that I looked like I had been stitched in them...

They're going back. Grr...

Or I could have grown.. lol.

[Marco_ukmus]

You've Grown! Hehe, mind you, bursting out of your trousers during work time might not be good for your career ... than again...

[CanadianGordon]

Well especially since I have to pay for the pants if they're damaged... I wouldn't get my deposit back. They only allow for understandable damage... natural wear and tear. Hulking out of my pants isn't my idea of fun. Especially since no one else is gay there... that I know of.
And Marco, dude, seeing the picture of your back is really cool. You've got more mass, whereas I look like I have more arms. lol.
Just a neat thing I noticed.
Our two avatars.

Ah right, did not realise you had to pay for them.

Thanks Gordon! Yeah, the back has moved on rather well, although, ironically so have the arms. Just i guess the back has just grown even bigger ... hehe. I'll have some beeter shots of the arms at the end of the week

Yeah, you do have great arms mate. keep growing!

Marc

[CanadianGordon]

Well it's only a deposit. But if the pants get damaged I loose the deposit.

Grr...
And thanks man, looking forward to the pics.
I may break down and buy a digital camera myself..

[CanadianGordon]

Good news guys. I got a webcam!


Bad news.. It doesn't want to run properly...

[CanadianGordon]

Here are some .. okay shots of me in uniform at work. They aren't the greatest. I will get new ones done soon. I know my eyes are shut.. lol.


So tell me, would you be intimdated by me?

[ethernet_jock]

you're asking the wrong question...

Would I be intimidated by you?

No - at 6'3" and 260lbs.... very few people intimidate me - ever.

Am I impressed by your undying commit to growth despite the circumstances you've encountered over the last 12 months and the growth that you've managed to make in that time?

Yes!!!

am I impressed by your bravery in showing real full-body photos of yourself on a forum like this?

Yes!!!

Good job Gord... always like seeing updates from you.

[CanadianGordon]

Thanks man. I look forward to filling out my work shirts.

[jco2007]

Hey G
I don't know about intimidated, although I do usually respect authority, there is usually a good reason behind their rules, so I don't see the need to play the fool - so to speak.

With all the equipment and folders, there seems a fair bit to it. As EJ said, respect for you to not be diverted from your musclegrowth despite your current circumstances.

Keep it up!

My, my, my...the trials and tribulations of a guy with beefy thighs.
One wrong move and "r-r-i-i-i-i-p!!!" , he splits his pants because of his leg muscle mass. All that exercising is paying off!
Now if we could only get a better view of the uniform pants in action (trying to contain those quads )!

Maybe if you flexed while singing "Epiphany" from <i>Sweeney Todd</i>.

Great job Gordon, keep up the good work.

[CanadianGordon]

Heheh. Give me a few days. I'll get you some shots you will like.

G.

[CanadianGordon]

Just a brief update. Apparently I've gotten harder and stronger. According to one friend of mine. I'll get some pictures done soon. I've been working a lot.

And eating better. Since the dental work is wrapping up finally, after four years of extensive work... I'm back to having nuts be in my diet again...

I'm trying to lean up a little, and trim down the waist line...

Before I go back into lifting full time again I want to have less fat on me, so I grow faster..

[muscle_mastah]

Lifting will make that fat disappear faster and make you feel so much better.

[CanadianGordon]

I hear ya. I'm hoping to get a few workouts in at a community gym if need be this week. I get paid Friday.

[CanadianGordon]

I have an update of sorts.
Somehow I've grown and have gotten harder.
I have no idea why or how. I've just been eating more, and have been really working hard at work.
New pics out soon.
G.

Enjoy the pictures. More soon.

[CanadianGordon]

Well guys, I just wanted to drop in here and say hello.
I've been slowly getting bigger, but I haven't been working out though.
I've just been eating right, and working a lot.
My legs are now very solid and getting very defined. I just need to find a good gym in my area...
Pictures coming soon.

[CanadianGordon]

Hey guys sorry I haven't stopped by lately, but I've been busy working and getting firmer! I've lost some weight and have been doing a few excercises and hope to have some pictures soon. I'm still a security guard, and enjoying all the hot muscular guys in the building I work at.
I'll post pictures of myself when I can.
G.

[CanadianGordon]

Got a digital camera today to help document my progress!
And updated my avatar for a new back pic.

[CanadianGordon]

Got new pics today guys.
Gained a little weight around the middle.
Will post shortly.

[CanadianGordon]

As promised. Here are the most recent photos of me.
A word of warning. Working in a building has not helped my skin tone.
You may go blind.
Also please be kind, I've gained the freshman 15. Well more like 10, but it looks like 15. Please remember it's solid muscle under there still. Except as one of the teens put it to me tonight when we worked out shirtless.
(A 15 yr old and a 17 yr old and a 25 yr old working out shirtless.)(eye candy for me. but not them. I'm the reminder of what happens if they stop working out...)
.. as it was put to me by the 17 yr old: "You need a bra for those boobs...?"

I wanted to punch him, but I know he'd hurt me. He's solid as shit. Both boys are skaters. But they're cool. They want to help me get big. The lean part will be hard as shit. Good bye snacking. Hello lettuce. Geez.
Lots more walking needed.
Anyways, enough talk. You've waited long enough to see the huge difference in what not working out will do.
For comparison I will post 1 shot of what I looked like before I stopped working out, due to the unemployment last year...

Okay guys, seriously, well over 14,000 views, and no new replies.
Getting a little tired of that. Gonna be moving around my picture files soon in my photobucket account to reset my bandwidth....
Sigh.
Unless I have an actually REPLY in the next two weeks.
Sheesh.

Here's a reply for you, Gord. I can empathize with the transformation. I have had several periods of time where I've gone weeks (to months) without working out, and the way the body negatively transforms is almost as impressive as how it positively transforms when I get back in the groove. Thanks for posting the pics, and good luck!

[CanadianGordon]

I'll post some new photos so you can see how I look like now.
I've gained some fat back, but I think I got bigger...

Okay over two months and no responses. Right.

[loopyrhino2001]

It's only been one month, Gordon.

Perhaps we were all blinded by your porcelain white skin? Hehe j/k.

OK here's a real response: your arms are looking good.

[CanadianGordon]

I've noticed my arms have gotten leaner. Will try to get a good pic of them. Triceps are really showing now.

[CanadianGordon]

Hey sexy men.

Sorry I've been away for so long... I promised updates, well I'll try...

I haven't measured myself in a few months. I have weighed myself.

I gained 5lbs. And am now 5'8" 180lbs.

Bad news? I gained weight.

Good news? All of it muscle. I lost some fat too!

I'm happy about that. I guess walking up and down 35 floors every day or so and eating right finally, are starting to help...

I finally have a gym set up in my basement. Just have to find the time to properly fit in a real workout. I've done fits and starts here and there. Nothing too insane. I'm out to restart again, not injure myself.

I don't need big legs. I want to trim the upper body first and bulk after...

I know my body has gotten stronger. I was fooling around with the bench press with the teenager, he's 15yrs old and has awesome development. The 11yr old is into working out a lot and is showing good progress. I'm so proud. I've started them on a good road to good health. Picture four boys, 9yrs, 10yrs, 11yrs and 15yrs. All of whom use skateboards to move around. All of whom came from a rural background. It's a good thing they can't afford to eat fast food yet.. They're all insanely fit. So when they start throwing punches, they really do. They don't realize exactly how much damage they can cause. I'm sore from their horseplay.. Heh. I'm not as young as I used to be.
I will not post pictures on here or in my livejournal. I will wait for them to be 18yrs old to make that decision for themselves.

Amazing how strong kids are when they don't realize how heavy the weight is.

I work at a high end condo as Security still. I've moved to the night shift, same pay, less work, less hassle, and headache. Why didn't I do that long ago?

During one of my patrols I found a weight bench, weights, and ab machines discarded in the hallway. Nice how wasteful rich people are. I begged and pleaded to take it. Finders keepers. A month later, it sits in my basement. Nice. Will post pictures. Hell I'll post a whole bunch. Why not?

I have but one flexing shot. Will take a whole bunch when I can.

Hard to take some shots by yourself. Enjoy. The most recent are from this past month and a bit. I also confess I'm a trekkie. I took my nephew, who also works out... To a Science Fiction Convention in Toronto. We both bought Trek outfits. I almost looked a little too stocky for the spandex top. I know I have to trim down a bit.. I got my picture taken with Robert Picardo, who played to Doctor on Voyager. Gates McFadden, who played Dr. Crusher on The Next Generation was also there but her line was too long...

And yes, that is a Security outfit from The Next Generation. Interesting? Will post more as I can. I had to work too much and time got away from me. I should have more time now. Need to force a workout or two this week too.

[omelissokomos]

Hi CG,

Yep, definitely looking trimmer there. Bigger and leaner is quite a feat. Keep it up.

Something to aim for the next convention. So far I've only seen one guy fill out a Star Trek uniform. (Wonder if he remembers obliging me?)

BTW, when pasting Photobucket links here on the Forum, use the "Img" code as seen below.

You could try editing your previous post so that they'd be easier to click on.

Gaining muscular weight is never bad news in my book. Congratulations! Keep it up and you'll be amazed where you finally end up size-wise.

[CanadianGordon]

Sorry I haven't posted since Sept.14, I've been busy on a new shift cycle. Nights. It took some time to get used to it. Now I'm got a partner I want to drop kick to another planet. She gets on my nerves a lot. Just getting caught up with things. Will post pictures when I can. And as for editing my previous post it won't let me. No idea why. No edit button appears for me...
I will post new pictures when I can. I had a major hard drive failure the middle of last month and it took me all this time to get back up and running.
Didn't loose anything thank god. Just my sanity.

If anything, that's one reason to vent some pent-up frustration by working out even harder.

BTW, the "Edit" function isn't available for this part of the forum.

[CanadianGordon]

No edit function? Okayyyy.. Why not?
