Xcel's Re-Post

[xcelbeyond]

I posted these a while back via a link to a web site. That web site has been shut down So - here they are again

Well I'm posting this only because I said I would. The pictures I took were the worse pictures that I've ever had taken, bodybuilding or regular shots . I was a VERY SMALL part of the picture - the gal said she had me "filled" in the viewfinder (borrowed my daughter's camera) but what it actually shot was MUCH MORE landscape! The flash failed on several shots. She had a BAD ANGLE on the "front" shots - it looked like I only had ONE LAT - hahahaha. Because I was so small in the pictures, they didn't show ANY DEFINITION that I have - and my back is relatively ripped. I was able to salvage a couple shots so that you could at least get an idea (including one where I was clowing around, using up film), by using my skills (what little I have) with Photoshop.

And - I've been clean for nearly 16 weeks for these pics.

Stats:

49 years better (you're either getting older or better - will be 50 next month)
5' 6" - small bone structure, 6-1/4" wrist circumference
~173 lbs
Between 5.5 - 6.0% BF (but holding a fair bit of water )

I lost way too much muscle in my quest to see if I could still get lean (lost fat way too fast and not "smart" about it ). It'd been over 13 years since I've been below 8% BF. To put things in perspective, I'm currently ~192 lbs at ~7% BF and still have muscle to recover (muscle memory)!

The plan is to compete this coming spring around 180-185 lbs at <3% BF!!!

Lookin good. You've got some bigass calves, that's for sure. I agree, you do seem to be in a good mood in all your posts. That's a great way to be, especially in the world today where negativity reigns supreme. That's the reason I like to call this board my home. Almost all the posts and all the guys seem to always have something nice or positive to say.

Side pose shows your arm thickness much better. I remember awhile back you posting your arm stats and your back pose pictures don't show it but the side pose really gives you and idea of the size of your guns.
