Work in progress

Hey Guys,
I found it very motivational reading through many logbooks. Everyone has made decent > excellent progress.

My goals are to become as big as I can naturally. My height is just under 6' @ 225-230 depending on the time of day.

I'm 51 so it will be a battle no doubt. My main areas for improvement are legs and arms. Over the next while i will detail more of my stats (seems like I'm the only gay man without a measuring tape). Hopefully posting in a log will provide the extra motivation I need.

I've attached a few pictures - I only have a web cam, my apologies.

You're looking great, Lifter. Especially for 50. I can't wait to see more.

"In Progress?"

If this is "in progress" I can hardly wait to see the finished product! You look great, Lifter51.

StoneMan/Arpeejay/Bigwoof that for the kind comments.

I've not exercised much over the past few years. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. What exercise I did was painful and exhasting along with that came depression and a long list of other symptoms. I guess the good news is that I'm medicated and intersted in changing my body.

The not so good news is the actual starting point

Height: 6'
Weight: 228
bf: 22.6% - sad

Arms: 17 L - 16 3/4 R
Chest: 49
Waist: 40 (No Beer now)
Legs: 24 1/2 L - 24 1/4 R
Calves: 16L - 16 1/2 R

I bought a digital camara and will post a few pics with my progress.

New program tomorrow - Muscle Bound here I come!

Man, you got a great frame to start with. You'll be slabbing on size in no time. That muscle looks like it pumps up pretty easily.
51 here too, so I understand the challenges.
Keep at it, big guy.

BBMikeNJ - Thanks for your vote of confidence. Hopefully I will tighten up then fill out.

I've taken a few more pics that are lighter - Apparently this group has a few critics and wants more detail.
I also took a pic wearing a superman shirt that a freind gave me a few years ago. It's finally snug but now the goal it to bust out of it.

All comments are much appreciated.

Thanks guys enjoy the weekend!

I wish I looked as good as either of you!

We're all the same age!

"50- it's the new 35" (Or so I keep telling myself! )

Great work!

not 50 yet here but slowly approaching...I like the "50 is the new 35" mindset.

And Lifter51, I understand setbacks and challenges in lifting...have had my own the past couple of years (including double carpal tunnel surgery which tends to put a crimp in your workouts). Keep at it...you have a great frame and starting point...looking forward to seeing you pack on the muscle and hulking out of the Superman shirt.

Wow, you're just a few tweaks away from having an incredible body. That's the kind of motivation I need.
