The progress of Lestat

[Lestat]

I started lifting seriously in 2001.
I was 165lbs @ 5% bf (I was running half marathons)
I ballooned up to 215lbs and 20%bf
Since then I've done a bunch of cutting and bulking, I'm 195lbs now and maybe 10% bf?

I'll post some of my old pics here:

I am the guy with no shirt on, that is in 2000 (6 years ago, before ANY training)

I'm skinny as hell in this one too. circa 2001

Shit, this is 1998 or 1999!!! lol

Here are progress pics along the way

This is from around 2003

A before and after from 2002 to 2003:

This is last summer:

last october:

this is from April 2006, a month ago

So yeah, I've definitely made progress, but now am looking for ways to take it a step further (without juice)

 

[theprofessor]

good job bro! looking pretty solid... hows your legs?
its a tough battle- keep up the hard work

 

[Wulfgar]

Ur the fuckin Man bro! keep it up!!

 

[Castro_bigdog]

Good job bro keep it up........

 

[slat1]

Great progress!
All that work must have seriously changed you life.
I can imagine the confidence it gave you with the ladies and even at work!

 

[Lestat]

thanks guys.

yeah it has changed my life in many ways, I love the attention I get from women now just by having a little more size, not a monster, but enough to notice.

 

[bw1]

Good progress

 

[cmdubs]

good job Lestat

 

[Lestat]

more more more, I want more size damnit!!

 

[cmdubs]

more more more, I want more size damnit!!

my advice would be check out the Madcow 5X5 program in the training forum. your lifts will skyrocket and if you're eating properly you'll put on some size with it. I'm lifting weight I never thought possible and gaining without much fat. after that go back to HST and your 5rm's will be much higher and you'll get more from the program.

BTW I respect the fact that you're doin it without juice. it takes longer but the rewards are all the more satisfying.

Perkele's having his joke. Bodybuilding is a marathon, not a sprint.

Forget the gear and work on your diet
More protein and more carbs. Doesn't sound like you care about fat at this point so just up the carbs and the protein. Increase calories and don't do no 5k runs like I saw in your gallery

whats wrong with a little anavar?

 

[gjohnson5]

Nothing...

I generally tell people to work on thier diet. Then work on form in the gym and thier workout routine before worrying about gear. People think gear will do all the work for them.

Work on the fundamentals first

 

[*Bunny*]

Always great to see some progress. Nice job I'd agree on posting some wheels pics.

Best of luck to you

lol i did anavar and worked on my diet before and got incredible gains and i kept it all

 

[gjohnson5]

LOL,
I bet if I did test/deca/var or winny I'd be 350. I hit 265 just by eating and working out. I'm only 5'9 so I'm a short one. I can make great gains without it

i wouldn ever inject if that makes me a pussy oh well. them arent my goals

I wish I could do juice. I work for the gov't now... But I've beaten juicers in the gym by miles.

Infact I had juicers staring at my arms (then 21" inches) doing tricep pushdowns cause they were spending big bucks on tren acetate and still could push the whole stack on tricep pushdowns. Then they were still putting 45's lb plates on a curl bar and doing preacher curls with the 110lb or so and I had left that and was doing cable curls with a 200lb stack and adding a 45lb plate to that...

I'm not even going to talk about the leg workout... Those dude weren't even in my universe

 

[foreigngirl]

LESSY????? WTF?? Bwaaahahahaaa!!!

lol..I thought of putting a ghey twist to it

That belongs under the tuxedo pic! "Lessy and his Prom date Bruce!"

lol...now that I read that again, it sounded in my head like that movie with that dog Lassie and Elizabeth Taylor

judging by your pic you dont need it wootoom. having a juiced out body doesnt really matter anyhow. but never say never.

 

[heatherrae]

You looked very dashing in your tux, Lestat.

Great progress! You used to be so thin. It doesn't hurt that you have a really handsome face. Some guys can work out and get really perfect bodies, but there is nothing they can do about their scary mugs.

 

[Ghede]

Looking good sir. Very nice and solid looking progress, lean and the tux does not make you look like a balogna smuggler.

 

[Lestat]

thank you for all of the comments and advice.

I run 5Ks to keep my cardio endurance up. I want a healthy heart and want to be able to go out and play sports and not get winded.

I eat a pretty balanced and healthy diet, I'm not cutting. If you look at the last picture, my most recent, you see I still have some fat in the love handle area so its not like I am restricting my calories so much it would impede my muscle growth.

 

[wootoom]

i think the 5x5 routine is gay imo. it didnt work for me

 

[Lestat]

i think the 5x5 routine is gay imo. it didnt work for me

what do you do?

everyone loves that 5x5 thing, but I've been doing HST for a long while now and its given me some nice gains.

 

[needtogetaas]

when a did my dead kifts i was thinking of you bro no lie.

 

[pintoca]

i think the 5x5 routine is gay imo. it didnt work for me

it worked for me. Not size, strenght.

Strenght, in my opinion, is the main goal of that program (you see all those core exercises?). Size might come as a byproduct

 

[George Spellwin]

Nice job!

 

[Lestat]

thanks George!

The pretty boys wanna look good , not move heavy weights around...

HST will give some nice size gains
