The first pic is of me the day before i started training, extremely fat!

The other two are of this summers holiday!

I know im still a bit fat but youve got to compare it to before!

Flame away!

Realy good progress mate. You must have worked realy hard. I have had to lose alot of weight myself so i know how hard it is. Well done bro!

leanman · 24-08-2004, 09:19 PM

Looks like you lost a lot of fat mate well done...and you look 'strong' too.

Have you got massive legs it sure looks that way!!! got a tape dude???

Wants legs

demon · 24-08-2004, 09:20 PM

Great job.
You look about ten years younger in the second and third photos.

philipebrown · 24-08-2004, 09:23 PM

yeah my legs are 26" naturally and my calves are about 16-17" naturally

i dont train my legs much at the mo

**hackskii** · 24-08-2004, 09:50 PM

Yah, the first pick you looked the oldest.
Not bad pretty lean in one of them, nice arms.
26" legs are massive.

winger · 25-08-2004, 02:03 AM

Yes mate you look strong. You have naturally big arms and calves.............I wish. Very simular to what I look like. Those calves are big. Did you know that they can tell how much muscle you can put on by the size of the calves?(Genetics). Nice job mate. I can finally put a face to all the good posts..............

damagedgoods · 25-08-2004, 08:12 AM

Good Job Phill - there is a serious difference in how you look! I'll have to dig up a digital camera from somewhere or get the Mrs to take a shot of me now....

Panthro · 25-08-2004, 08:22 AM

great improvement matey, keep up the hard work

Cheater2K · 25-08-2004, 09:41 AM

Your gettin there mate, you do look younger like, keep it going

philipebrown · 25-08-2004, 09:46 AM

thanks for all the nice comments lads,hope winger is right about the size of your calves giving you an idea of your natural (or enhanced) potential.

Have had a really rough time on my current cycle due to breaking up with my fiance, falling for someone else, getting blown out again and trying to look for a new place to live. Everything is calming down now and i have 2-3 weeks left of this cycle and am starting to eat properly again and put on weight so hopefully it hasnt all been a waste!

Will get back to dieting and cutting after this as, as you can see from my pics i am desperately missing some abs!

John · 25-08-2004, 10:25 AM

what a change, keep it up. I think after my next course i,ll maybe get round to posting myself in here, like you i have a little fat to lose first though.

Harry · 25-08-2004, 10:42 AM

Have to agree with everyone else the change is excellent, just shows that hard work does pay off. Nice fish as well.

philipebrown · 25-08-2004, 10:47 AM
