i might be in the wrong forum

after browsing some of the members photos I am definitely out of my eliment every one looks like they could compete.This could be some great motivation for me or I could get depressed and just crawl under a rock lol

 

[BOOMSHAKER]

Every one had to start some place my brother! Make this your home and learn and grow like a weed! Some of the best pro's are right here! Glad you made it over!

 

[Fullybuilt]

Good point. Everyone starts somewhere. Plus this board has the best of the best in the pics section. 9 out of every 10guys looks like they could easily go pro. Go to other boards and look at the pic section and you will feel much better. This board is very rare.

 

[K1]

Big Bump to both,,,Welcome to the board and feed yourself with knowledge bro and you will grow............

 

[luckyone]

Welcome to the board bro, we all started somewhere.

your brother in Christ,

Lucky

Aloha n welcome to PM! Keep on training hard!

 

[hozart]

thanks for all the welcomes,I ll post another pic in 2 months ,hopefully it will be an impresive transfermation.

 

[hozart]

here is my progress of 2 months not that impressive i know, but i plan on a first cycle the first week of march by that time my diet and workout routine should be locked in

 

[M21SL]

Don't say the imrpovements arent impressive...the pictures arent too big but from waht i can see, i definitely see some substanital improvement for only being 2 months. U gotta remember, this all takes a lot of time and u have to be very very patient. I think that is a mistake that too many of us make including myself, where we just wanna be huge in too short of a time span. You are making improvements, and just keep up the good work, it takes time but if you keep at it, you will get to where you wanna be. good luck man and keep workin hard!

 

[mike1107]

I can clearly see improvment dude , don't say they are not impressive

As fullybuilt said, there is a starting point
if I had looked as u do when I started I would have been happy believe me !!

solid basis u have, continue and it'll come in no matter of time

Exacly, we all have to start somewhere. Just train hard, eat eat eat and be consistant. Hard work pays off. Keep it up.

 

[hozart]

you guys are great i thought i was going to get roasted for posting my progress photo.thanks for the encouragement

 

[Tyrone]

Very good improvement in 2 months! Keep plugin away bro!!!

 

[M21SL]

No way would anyone on here roast u for posting progress pics. U r making progress, and that is what we all love to see. Its a great thing so keep goin hard man, and keep us posted on how the progress keeps comin.

 

[skookum]

I always get excited to see a new guy starting out. You have managed to find one of the greatest sources of information & support that can be found on the 'net w/ PM. Do the very best you can everyday, one day at a time. What you've bought into is not any "quick fix" deal, it's a lifestyle, a mindset & never-ending educational experience. As a side note, I turn 40 years old this month and have been training for 27 years (God I'm old!). A champion is not built in a day. Rather, it's the collective effect of doing all the little things right over & over again, day after day. Sometimes those "right things" just plain suck & hurt. Sometimes they are viewed as unpopular & considered strange by the "non-iron world" - don't let that deter you from your goals! Those that discourage and disbarage are usually soft, weak in body & mind. Keep killin' that shit & chase your dreams, buddy!!!
I look forward to seeing further progress pics!!!

new progress pis

about 3 months since last photo

 

[oldfella]

I'll say this, from the first pic to now. Improvements are consistant and steady, you are on the right track. I hear ya about some of our members here, but take this into consideration...........most of the bros and sis's here have been at it for a great number of years. We have some very seasoned comp people here. No one and I mean no one started out looking like they do now. And I know for a fact that if anyone jumped on here and started flaming you for your first pic they would not be here long. This is a most excellent place for noobs and experienced alike. We all share the same passion. You are making great progress, so stick around, read, ressearch and learn. You will go far my friend.

 

[engbulldog]

hey bro , looks like your your right on track, major improvements , fyi I started @ 119 lbs 12yrs ago and i think it will take 12 more years to get "the Look" but hey its better than sitting on my fat ass and watching the world pass me by anyway Keep up the good work:st:r-wars

 

[hozart]

thanks oldfella and engbulldog.I can honestly say I am happy with my progress to this point,at first I was frustrated with the results from weight training and dieting with no benifits but like everyone here says patience.I said I was going to run a cycle in march but declined cause I felt I wasnt ready.Iam am still making progress naturauly.MY biggest mistake in was not knowing what I wanted ,do I want to be huge or just fit power lift or bodybuild and to be honest I still dont know,and that is why alot of people who weight train never realy reach there full potential.Those of you who know what your goals are and stick with them are realy the ones that that rest of us admire
