Can't believe you're only a year older than me mate.
You're looking bloody great.

How long have you been working out?

Cheers man, much appreciated
Probably around 20months or so now, only been serious for a year (ish) thought before that just lifted some weights when i felt like going to the gym with some mates and ate what i wanted.

Been properly into it all for about a year though as i said, and have come on leaps and bounds since then.
 
Would say ive probably added about 18lbs since a year ago, most of it lean muscle id say as dont really seem to be any fatter (would say im probably leaner now too) but was 13.6st a year ago and am now 14st10

Yesterday wasnt good at all, woke up and room was spinning couldnt walk straight and was sick as soon as i got out of bed, wasnt pretty, feeling a fair bit better today though so hopefully all back on track, missed chest shoulders and triceps but back to legs back and biceps today.

Also got a call from a modelling agency asking if i wanted to go in for a shoot on thursday (only a trial) which is great news as always fancied giving it a go, got a friend who is a photographer too so creating a portfolio with her tonight so looking good.

That is class man, really good news. I hope it works out for you, you bloody well earned it!

yeah man well chuffed, not heard anything else from them though, missed their call so really annoying as is on a withheld number so cant ring them back.

If nothing comes from it ive created a portfolio now so can send that out anyway, when theyre processed will post up a few of the pics.

Deadly I'll look forward to that! Are they like real professional looking pics? Incidentally my dad is a graphic designer, he'd be unreal at touching up modeling pics, which might be handy if I ever get to that stage in a few years!

Well wouldnt say theyre professional, but is a damn good camera and done by a photgraphy student, so she probably gets a lot better pictures than the average joe, says shell sort out the light and that on her software but just see how it goes, make a portfolio out of some of the pics and see where it gets me.

Still looking good mate. Good luck on the modeling front, what'll happen if you go in and then have to go up to Leeds?

Are you aiming to stay around 14st 10lb now, not add anymore size?

Yeah man, not really wanting to get any bigger if im honest, looking to cut a little more fat though and get to sub 10% bodyfat.

As for the modelling i just want to do it to earn some money really, when it comes to uni im dropping everything to go. I had a place last year but dropped it cos of other comitments (gf, friends etc) but am going next year whatever, will always be able to pick up more work if needed (which it probably will be - saving now and hopgin to get about £4k but will need more than that, although i should get maximum loans)

You'll definatley need more than that mate, your social life is mega now, just imagine what it'll be like at uni LOL!

yeah i know mate, but will be more than nothing so cant be too bad, will get some work too aswell as maximum loans as household income is in lowest bracket so will be ok i think (hopes)

Did you do that modeling thing on thursday in the end?

Unfortunately not mate, they were meant to text/ring me again with the details, they tried ringing me but i was at work (and they rang with a withheld number) so couldnt call back and they never called again so a bit of a pain really.

Got my friend processing all the pictures anyway and will try out for some places in the new year and see what happens (If anything)

Messy Weekend ahead as 20th Tomorrow (great? not sure)
Wrecked as normal on thursday although did have a friend come back from army so had an excuse.

Second that.

Very strange!

Right not been on here for like 2 months as been very busy with life and general things to do/sort out.

Will try to be back on a bit more often if possible but seem to have so much going on right now that i dont have much time at all.

Anyway training is still going well and keeping in good shape (i think/hope) and have added in a lot more cardio with the summer coming up.
