SUC it! I'm done! Final pics P14

Starting piccies below 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Theres a few in this SUC who have lay claim to the snazziest briefs but you,re on top as of now......Good luck and good shape already, not to be too cheeky but how old are you?

One of the older members on MT but still looking to get into shape - hopefully the SUC will keep me on track this time.
 
Currently weighing in at 82.6 Kg / 13 stone / 182 lbs  , reckon I need to get down to around 160 lbs to get to a good condition.
 
Cardio is pretty appalling at the moment and strength is way down after 2 chest infections in quick succession followed by a lower back strain put me out of action for a while.
 
Will be unassisted throughout and definitely need to get into good eating habits - rather than having next to nothing all day and then gorging in the evening!
 
Basic stats are 
 
Height - 5'7"
Chest - 44
Waist - 36
Upper arm - 16.5
Thigh - 24
Calf - 16
 
Going to be using the Gaspari conditioning guide , with plenty of complexes, circuits and tabatas thrown into the mix.
 

Thanks Hoppy - is that Marvelous Marvin in your Avi?
 
I'm 52 , will hit 53 at Xmas , but my brain won't accept that and keeps telling me I'm still a young un 
 
ps - they're some of the more tasteful pants!

I was literally sat here thinking 'You son of a bitch, those pants rock' !!!!
 
Look to be in good shape Donny, can see you progressing well. Try and hit the poses regularly too, get used to them - as you're not showing off your best there.
 
Would be happy to be in that nick when I hit 52!

I am starting to think I should have worn some more funky pants for my pics! Haha, perhaps I'll just save them for the final pics.
 
All the best donnyboy.

good shape there bud

Good luck, and i'm thinking you don't need much...you look great!!!
 
I'm getting rather dismayed at the number of peeps trying to usurp Tony "barnet" barnes of his undercracker crown....lol....those are close contenders for the prize tho'...

Cheers Ng - its not so much luck i need as some organisation and willpower to keep a diet on track!

Hagler is my all time favourite boxer - used to ove it when him, Leaonard, Hearns and Duran were all around.
 
These days I'm more into watching MMA - boxing's lost it's sparkle for me.
 
Aims wise I want to drop below 12 stone at least and to improve fitness whilst hangng on to what little muscle I've got !

Not brilliiant I know but better than usual , need to sort a diet for next week when I'm back at work
May be very shake heavy as I only get 2 x 10 minute breaks during the day and can't normally face solid food for breakfast .
 
Thinking something along the lines of 
7am - Breakfast - 3 x weetabix , 4 boiled eggs
9 am PWO - Shake
11.30 Break#1 - shake
1.30 Lunch - Tuna / 1/2 packet cous cous or pasta
4.30 Break #2 - shake
7 - Dinner - Whatever the GF cooks - generally healthy stuff tho
10 - Mackerel / sardines / Pilchards , handful of nuts
 
Might have to have a go at making some protein bars  to help out whilst at work
 
Any suggestions - please feel free to chip in 
 
 
 

Your lifting is impressive mate...........yeh gonna have to get a decent low carb protein bar recipe myself............Weetabix for brekky for me too with a couple of scoops of vanilla whey mixed in its bloodly lovely, when I start cutting will be swapping them for eggs for breakfast, i,m not looking forward to that as eggs don,t always agree with me I get sick of them quickly, will have to come up with some alternatives me thinks.

Cheers Hoppy - starting to get some strength back - mainly chest / delts , lower back still sucks which is limiting squats / pulls etc.
