Progress - 29th November, 7months in!

[of_wolf_and_man]

this is me after 7 months of gym. gained around 9-10kg since i started and now 75kg. looks like the protein helped a bit!

(please take the time to read the comments about the pics... i need the feedback. chur chur)

[jono]

looks like some gains, looking pretty lean man, bis look descent, tris can be seen in the crossed arms pic, back/shoulders look ok. just need more overal size. heavy compounds and lots of food and time!. keep up the hard work man..

Definitely bigger! Everything's coming along nicely - you should be very pleased.

There's not really a lot to comment on, to be honest. You've got excellent proportions, all the muscles look in balance, and nothing seems to be lagging too much at all. If I had to find something to criticise, I'd suggest bringing up the chest and traps a bit more - but that's only me looking for flaws. Your wide lats and narrow waist give you a V-taper better than many competitive bodybuilders. (How long before you step on stage? )

Now - how are those legs?

i hope thats not a serious comment. that has a lot to do with whats wrong with bb in nz, everyone wants to compete before they have any size.

Nice work mate. good to see you still have maintained a lowish bodyfat whilst bulking.

Keep it up and you'll be huge in no time!

My comment was certainly semi-serious, Jono. While I'm not suggesting Wolf is ready to step on stage tomorrow, I do think he's got some very good potential.

I make no apology for encouraging people to compete. I don't think bbing in this country can afford to be too choosy about the size of competitors (that's a general comment, and not directed at you, Wolf). Size will come automatically through increased competition when more people compete anyway. Provided a person isn't going to humiliate themselves on stage, I don't see any reason for holding them back to artificially inflate the quality of a show.

That's just my opinion - I know we've got a few judges lurking here... what do you guys think?

well i guess we will ahve to agree to disagree :grin: this is not directed at any particular person, but personally i think far too many people compete too soon without having any real size first.

Pseudonym and Jono thanks for both ur comments about bb ing. U might see me on stage in a couple of years (in my 7th form year) to do a comp in a junior or school boys class. Hopefully by then il have the size like jono has mentioned and the muscle as Pseudonym has pointed out. legs will be coming soon... heh

Hey Wolf, everyones personal opinions aside, if you want to try your hand at competing then you can do school / junior class and then athletic if you wanted. Easy enough to have a look at past comps and see what you need to achieve on a personal level before you feel ready to step on stage.

I feel competing should be about your personal development i.e. you make improvements with each comp you do. Everyone likes to win but the thrill of making it through the dieting, posing, tanning etc is an acomplishment you will look back on with pride.

Either way bro you look good for your age and I hope you stick with it.

[deegee]

Good work mate keep it up, remember not to expect too much too soon

[Tehhaxorr]

Congrats man, looking good.

Do some more shrugs bro, you will look wayyy meaner if you hit the lats and traps more!

[Varven]

Man, I wish at 7 months I looked like that ! Youve definitely got an envious physique for a beginner.
