WeirdAl's pics

[WeirdAl]

Here are my pics. 3 weeks into mild cutting after about a year of bulking. Down 7 lbs in the last 3 weeks, to 195 lbs (at just under 5'10").

Relaxed:

Note that there are new pics at the bottom from 12/13 (first pics are from 9/16)

Ok, be nice :D
This was right after an intense leg day (still sore from playing football - running for the first time in 8 months or so - 2 days ago).

[WeirdAl]

Thanks! Deadlifts have really brought out my back lately. I definitely have the farmer tan thing going, too.

[basskiller]

You have some nice overall size! Your back will even look that much better when you trim down the waist a little..
Your going to look great when your done!
Great work!

Now pick up that cup off the floor, I'd do but I'm feeling lazy today...LOL

[Auriflex]

I like your hair.

[WeirdAl]

From the front pics, the back pics, or both?

[jshoty]

back and shoulders look great

[WeirdAl]

Thanks - I'm going to try and take more pictures in 3 weeks or so. Hopefully I'll have dropped another 5-7 lbs of fat, and I'll try and tan up a bit and get better lighting. Not that I look great from the front or anything, but I think I look a little better than the pics suggest.

[WeirdAl]

Between my forearms, shoulders and back, I think my arms look puny. They are finally starting to grow, but I wish they'd hurry up. :D

[WeirdAl]

hopefully will be taking more pics soon mostly so I can see if I'm making progress. I'll post them though.

[matarazzojr]

nice back bro! looking solid all over too.

[gander]

Back and shoulders look awesome. Wheels look like you have been giving them a good thrashin' too. Need to focus on Chest and Bi's. Lookin great - keep it up.

[MUCH BIGGER]

Excellent lat spread, good shoulders. Keep it up.

[WeirdAl]

Thanks everyone! My focus now is on arms (and cutting). Just switched up my workout routine from:
legs; chest/shoulders/tris; back/bis/forearms
to:
legs; chest; back/shoulders; bis/tris/forearms
I'm thinking this will let me focus more on chest and arms. Also adding in leg extrensions for my lower inner quad head.

[WeirdAl]

And I still need to post updated pics (don't expect a drastic change as it's only been about 6 weeks), hopefully it'll show a little better detail (been cutting) and my arms should look a little better due to that. Also, I'll tan up first (that's what's holding the pics off).

[midwtchamp]

First pics i have seen of you AL great back good forearms and your legs already have a decent sweep good stuff keep going man!

[WeirdAl]

Thanks, midwtchamp!

[intense]

Do more trap work, those shoulders are really cut.

[Tbone]

Looking pretty good man.

That's actually my apron (in my kitchen), but thanks!

[WeirdAl]

Ok, took new pics this morning after back/shoulder workout. Note these are about 8 weeks from the previous pics. I think I've trimmed up just a touch, but nothing major. I'm treating these as my "before pics", as I'm 2 weeks into 200mg ever other week of test cyp (to treat low test levels). First time taking steroids, hoping my doc will up my dose to 200mg/week after more blood work in 2 weeks. This is 16 days out from my 1st shot (I've had 2 now).

damn bro your shoulders and back are awsome. if u really hit your arms hard u can have one hell of a physique.

[madchemist36]

how old are u bro.

[WeirdAl]

Thanks! Just about to turn 31, and have been struggling to get my arms to grow. My right bi peak is getting a little better, but that's definitely my weak area (imo). I had almost 17" arms when I was 19, and now I can't seem to get them over 16".

[mcinfo]

Get a hair cut you hippie - LOL
Look good bro.
Keep up the good work

[sully]

...nice work WierdAl, you do have one hell of a back...looking good all around and keep it up!!...

[skwood]

The back looks great and your chest has made some good progress as well. Keep up the hard work!

[Badgermoon]

I can definately see a difference from the earlier pics, like everyone else said, awesome back. You're making some really good progress.
Lets see some pics with the apron! LOL :D

Thanks! I'm about the same weight (195) as the earlier pics... I was actually down 5 lbs from the earlier pics on thanksgiving, and have gained about 3 lbs since then (have increased my carb intake).

Thanks! I had my body fat tested at 13.6% less than 2 weeks ago. The lowest it's ever been was ~10% @ 175 lbs about a year ago (down from ~50% less than a year before). I'm thinking the low natural test levels have hindered me getting any lower to this point.

[O2BESOHUGE]

dude, you have serious potential!! great frame to work with!!
keep working hard, its paying off for you!!

great work!

o2

[WeirdAl]

Thanks o2! I've always thought I had a pretty good frame - makes me really regret not doing anything with it for so long, but that just means I need to work that much harder now that I've figured out what I want! And if I ever get as ripped as you are, that'll be something! :D

[viper10139]

nice back

[deltachistud]

keep working hard bro, good work so far

[woody01]

can definatly see some improvement on the front.stay focused on that part.as far as the back goes i had to do a double take,it looked like a different body.very nice.the leg pic was to dark to tell.
keep up the excellent work!

[WeirdAl]

Ok, posting more pics. I don't see much difference, but let me know what you guys think. Now I'm around 208lbs (up from 193 in last). Sure doesn't look to me like I've gained 15 lbs.

I can see an improvement in the back and chest.Nice work bro.

[basskiller]

definetly see an improvement.. LOOK OUT PRESSER!

[rado]

good work kid.

[bigshug]

Looking good, bro. Deadlifts look like they're really stacking on the thickness in your back and traps.....

[rugbythug]

Looking Good. You are on Test replacement right? And the dose is 200 mg of cyp every 2 weeks? I think I may need to start doing that. Post cycle for a month or so just to keep gains and give my nat. test time to come back.

[hostile]

Still looking good bro.

[madchemist36]

lot less fat then b4

[midwtchamp]

I can really see an improvement in the arms and back....gonna look solid when you cut down...good work bro!

[aten8]

you have improved a lot since the beginning of this thread. your waist and excess has slowly come off and your chest has improved a lot. your back is your strong point obviously. you need to look closely at your left side. it seems to be the weaker of the two. concentrate more on that side. keep up the great work your looking great.

[WeirdAl]

Thanks guys! Yeah, on test replacement, 200mg cyp every other week (well, ended almost 4 weeks ago, was on it for ~8 weeks).

According to my measurements, my arms and chest have finally started growing after being stuck for over a year. I had actually thought I'd put on more fat than the pics show. As far as my left side goes, I'm left handed, but my strength is pretty even. I do almost all dumbbell exercises.... My bicep peak is definitely better (while still not great) on my right arm, though. My left bicep just seems to be longer/flatter.

Thanks for the comments! BTW, I especially appreciate critiques. I'm planning on hopping on the stage in 6 months, and know i have a lot of work ahead of me. Anything you can point out for me to concentrate on would be great!

[WeirdAl]

Yeah, just measured my arms, and my left (bad peak, looks smaller, but I'm left handed) arm is actually 1/4" bigger than my right.

[aten8]

by being left handed you are always using those muscles in the left arm , therefore the rest and recuperation time is less. maybe it's just the pic or the difference in peaks. but they both look great, i'm just picky thats all. what show did you want to do ? your well on your way to getting there.:D

[WeirdAl]

Thanks aten8. I'm planning on doing the Novice North Carolina State Championships, august 9 in Greensboro, NC. Have lot's of work ahead of me... I'll be posting pics again before too long.

[deltachistud]

i can tell you gained that 15lbs, looking good bro

keep the hair man it suits ya, nice improvements on you physique

[sugaa]

OMG!! YOu look so strong WeirdAl.lol Youre like a friggin bull. I didnt expect that becuase youre so nice.

I like your hair and don't everyone keep telling him to tan up becuase he has the type of skin that burns more then it tans. You should look into those tanning mooses tho if you ever go into competitions.

[Incrediblebulk]

Weird al thank you for meeting my expectations. I expected to see weird al and sure enough. there you are
