Damn bro, good job.

Damn, you lost a third of yourself!  Nice work!

RolandofGilead....you're my hero.

You still look extremely athletic while still being strong as fuck. Nice job, I hope to be like you eventually.

Haha thanks. No reason you can't do it. There's nothing particularly "special" about me, I just follow a program and eat good (most of the time). That's it. Anybody can do it.

I started lifting at a gym near the end of last year and I go between 4 and 6 days a week and take supplemental protein but my diet is lacking in discipline. I do hope to keep this lifestyle for a while and get more serious about it, I'm 5' 11" and currently 145lbs with a 225lb bench and 250lb 90 degree squat. So I'm not a very big dude. But my goal is to be built similarly to you. Obviously you've put in tons of time and it definitely shows.

Yes, I've worked hard and I gain weight/muscle/fat easily lol. Just work on the diet and stick to your program and you'll get there.

Before beard, skinny girly drinker weakling!



After beard, angry whiskey drinking deadlifter!

545 x 3 Deadlift

Shoot, I'm not even a pee wee leaguer, compared to you and everyone else here.

I'm 70 years old, 6' 0" and weigh about 135 lbs now. Was 155 lbs in late 2014, then illness that lasted the first three months of this year caused me to lose 25 lbs.

Had major abdominal surgery at the end of March. After recovering from that adventure, on 11 May I resumed my workouts.

Having lost all the gains in strength and muscle mass that I achieved from January through December of last year, I'm pretty much starting completely over, so there's not much progress to report.

Ideally, I'd like to achieve physical development similar to that of Roland. However, that's almost certainly an impossible dream...
