Looking for honest opinions...

Hey guys. Long time lurker, and first time poster. I've been lifting for a solid 14 months and could use some honest feedback. When I started, I was close to 200 flabby pounds. Through a change in diet, weights and cardio, I got down to 185. In October of last year, I decided I wanted some serious size, and growth. Since then, I have edged up to 220, and about 15% bf. My goal is 250, and then see how I feel once I'm there as far as cutting, or going for more size.

I would appreciate any honest opinions on what I've built so far, and what you think my potential may be as far as reaching 250. Any and all feedback appreciated. I do have more pics, but not ready to post them up on here. I may be willing to share if you want to contact me personally on YIM (live_to_grow2002). Thanks for taking the time to read my thread.

You are looking awesome! You'd make me do a bit of a double take.

At your height, you'd look good as a lean 250 or more. Keep up the great work!

Man, you guys are amazing! I really appreciate the positive comments and support. 250 is actually my goal weight, so wish me luck. Looking at competing in a show in the fall of 2012. Think I can do it??

Here are a couple more pics I took today. It's not easy to do without a camera man. Any critiques? Also, tips on diet and training to pack on size would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks again guys.

You're looking great! Very good progress in only 14 months. Potential is hard to judge from a few pics but I'd say yours is better than mine was.

I'm also 6'2". Started at 165 at 17. Never made it to 250, though I tried almost everything to get there. My bf was 22% when I hit 246 and I just couldn't stand it being so high so I started cutting. I hover around 225 now. Seems to be where my genes want to keep me :-(

Keep it up! Show off your pics in another 14 months!

I'm bigrob66 on Flickr. Say howdy sometime.
