Hi, I resumed training in 2011 after ballooning in weight following a car crash which smashed my right shoulder and put me out of action for the best part of two years.

This photo - the left is from July 2010 and the right is from this week. As you can see, I still have quite a bit of belly fat to get rid of before my abs become visible. Damn you, last 10lbs!!! >:(

My aim is to get another 10lbs or so off and then gradually bulk back up to 12st7lbs - 13st.

    You look terrific - good work! I think your midsection is great - you don't have to be chiseled to look hot. You certainly don't look overweight at all. And best of all, you are fit and healthy.

    Everything is more defined: Adam's apple, arms, and waist.
    As another poster remarked, you do look 20 years younger.
    You'll be AWEsome when you've finished your training.
    Best wishes!

    Fantastic, you look 20 yrs younger! No exaggeration.

    This was my first thought...I honestly could not believe it to be the same man!! I think you look great, and it's not healthy to stay in cut phase for too long, I believe 4-6 weeks is a general rule of thumb. You look fantastic and there's nothing wrong with going into another build and bulk phase for 8-12 weeks and cutting again after that. You didn't gain it all so quickly and you shouldn't expect to lose it all the same! Great job and keep at it!!
