That's really my only goal. But I've definitely gotten larger in the arms and thinner in the waist. I'm also more defined in my chest, lats, arms and abs. I'm not rippling or anything, but if the light hits me right, it almost looks like I am!Colonel Olrik wrote:You're training with real weights, right? Don't take this the wrong way, you're doing great, but I get a feeling from your description that you could do better. I spent years at the gym with barely any increase in definition or strength, just to keep the fitness.
But seriously, I don't know where I should be at this point, but I'm definitely at a better place physically. There's still flab, but there's also a certain amount that will just always be there unless I resort to totally unhealthy methods.
Keep in mind that I only seriously started working out 3 or 4 months ago. I may be seeing the same progress you were.While it worked in that regard, almost two years ago a friend of mine convinced me to train harder (or rather, train in a different way I was used to since the time spent at the gym didn't increase) and in a year or so my body changed significantly. I've never looked as good as now, even if due to lack of time I do less outdoor sports than when I was 20.
Well I still want to try shaving off more weight (I sure wouldn't mind being at 165 or 170), and I haven't noticed any ill effects from my diet so far. I splurge regularly, but not terribly so.It really sounds too little. I'm 165 pounds and 6'1, have a job equivalent to yours and work out also around 3 times a week, and would starve with so little. If I take less that around 2500 cal/day I start losing weight like hell - lost 2 Kg in two weeks in my recent holidays in California due to our habit of having a stronger breakfast and not actually having lunch to save time.
