Progress and stuff

[Chompa]

Okay, here we go. you'll have to excuse the poses and facial expressions, must admit I haven't got either mastered yet. I tried to stay at the same weight for a fair while due to powerlifting weight classes, but here is the pics from me at 55 kgs to 65. No sitting at about 69.

about 53 kgs here

55, front on

65 front on

55, front bicep

65, front bicep

55 back

65 back. i think this is where i have made the most improvement.

my aim is to get to 80 kgs for now, then go from there.

any advice and feedback is more than welcome.

Good progress but first piece of advice would be to put tags around your image links

Back looks good man!

In that Rear Bicep shot Try not too scrunch your back and try to spread your lats a bit more will make you look a bit wider!

KUTGW!!

Cheers guys, all fixed up. Right, will work on that after the next 10 kilos or so. always had trouble doing poses right. Thanks again

Good work and throw some progress pics of your legs up as well

[Chompa]

will take some pictures tomorrow after leg day. don't know that i have any before pictures, but lets just say i neglected them for a long time.

Good progress, Chompa. You're definitely growing, but you've got a fast metabolism so eating enough will be the challenge for you. How old are you?

[Chompa]

Thanks Pseudonym. Haha you have it down pat. Eating is a big problem. I have to aim for 3-4k calories a day to even think about putting weight on. I'm 18, so my metabolism is probably at its peak and will slow down at some point, but not just yet it seems.

Any suggestions on what I should eat? At the moment i focus around oats and fruit for breakfast, nuts and bread for morning tea, tuna, pasta or bread, eggs, fruit and yougourt for lunch. Protein shake before and after workouts. Fruit & nuts for afternoon tea and then potatoes/pasta, veges and chicken for dinner.

Chompa's eating volume has definitely increased since he stopped worrying about staying in a certain weight class for powerlifting. Since he upped his food intake his growth/weight gain has definitely increased exponentially.

Another thing that seems to be helping him is cutting back on cardio. Due to his job some cardio is still required but he's been able to cut it down drastically.

Neglecting his legs wasn't altogether his fault. Chompa was born with severe leg problems that have only really become sorted in the last couple of years. They'll never be perfect but at least he can now train them.

It's quite funny really, both father and son had severe leg problems but for drastically different reasons. C'est la vie. At least we can both train them now.
