Evian start. We'll see how it goes :) - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hi everyone.
I have decided to post my pictures here as well. Just to see my progress.
A little bit about me. In the first picture i am 25 years old. Never seen gym before. My weight was 86 kg. I was training for 6 months and then had to stop because of the problems in my life. I had a break of 8 months. And now i weight 96 - 97 kg. So over 8 months i have put on some weight.
So a month ago i have started the gym again. And i promised myself that whatever is going to happen in my life there will be no breaks There is waiting loads of work for me. But that's the work i like

At the moment i am using these supplements: LA VIP Muscle protein, L-Glutamine, creatine. And my diet is OK. Eating 6 times a day. I get about 220 g of protein.

Height: 182 cm / 6' and a bit
Weight: 96 kg / ~211 lb
Age:26
Experience in a gym: 6 months before 8 months break last year. And now started again one month ago. Started: 01/06/08

Measurements (We need them here, don't we?):
Biceps: 43 cm / 17,2 inch
Forearm: 31 cm / 12,4 inch
Chest relaxed: 118 cm / 47,2 inch
Waist: 101 cm / 40,4 inch (oh dear )
Butt: 104 cm / 41,6 inch
Thigh: 64 cm / 25,6 inch
Calves: 42 cm / 16,8 inch

Aims:
1. Waist 85 - 90 cm / 34 - 36 inch.
2. Everything else gets progressively bigger.

So over a month I have lost just over an inch (3 cm) of my waist. Now it is 98 cm. I am happy. You can see my trousers in the picture. Very lose.

Thanx in advance for your comments.

Thank You.

evian · 13-07-2008, 11:20 AM

Sometimes i really think that nothing is happening and i am doing everything wrong. Sometimes really having very bad days. I know i need loads of patience. I do have it

But please, my iron friends, could you just have a little look and tell me if i am doing everything right? Is my diet ok or i have to change it a bit? Your opinion is really important for me. Please do not just pass by my thread. Thank you.

P.S. I have decided to do cardio. As i have an opportunity to go for a swim, i am going to do that. Starting today and will do that 3 times a week different days than weight training.

And i know by BF% It is 21.8% @ 97.15kg.

evian · 14-07-2008, 06:54 PM

14/07/08
Today was DB day for me

1. Flat Bench Press DB 2x8x 30kg; 2x8x 25kg
2. Standing Barbell Curl 3x8x40 kg
3. Incline DB Press 3x8x27.5 kg
4. Alternating Standing DB Curls 3x8x 30lb; 1x8x 17,5kg (Didn't get 17,5 kg DB till my last rep)
5. Decline DB Press 3x8x 25kg.

Usually i don't do DB preses, but this time i did as i couldn't get smith machine. It was totally different experience. It was harder than doing BB. I found out that my left arm is much weaker than my right. I think when time goes they will become equal. I suppose.
