Hello all,
Thanks for having me. Recently got back into everything after about a 16 year hiatus from the gym and everything that goes with it. Used to be a mod on a private source board back between around 2008-2010. Used the same handle as I did back then. How things have changed since then. Decided to get my fat ass back in the gym, eating right, tracking my calories, and lifting heavy. It is never too late.
Included pics are May 1st to May 29th and a couple pics from my glory days lol. Top pic is the one from May 1st, bottom is from today. I was about 194 in the old pics and around 260 currently. Started at 267 in April. Cell phone cameras sure did suck back then lol. Please don't be too mean.

Welcome. I have found so much here to help me on this path we are on. This site is excellent for research and same can be said for the members when it comes to encouragement and different perspectives. Happy lifting my friend.
Welcome
Ice transition man.. excellent work and discipline
I'm still fat lol, the jacked pics were me from like 16 years ago. Trying to get jacked again lol.
Gainz411Man, that’s actually solid progress for just getting back into it after such a long break. You clearly still have a good amount of muscle under there from your old training days, and dropping 7 lbs in a month while rebuilding habits is a good start. The old pics show you definitely know how to train already. Stay consistent and the body recomp will probably happen faster than you think. Respect for posting honestly instead of pretending you started lean.
Thanks for the kind words. I let life get in the way and it got way out of control. Getting back to what I love after all this time. I forgot how slow progress can be though. Feels like its been forver, but only been back at it since the middle of April lol.
