I took a bunch of photos, deleted them out of embarrassment so only 1 remains for comparison but it's decent.
So here's 2013 weight loss, unfortunately very very little muscle gain aside from my back which I've made about 10% stronger. Injuries really held me back this year - but I've at least learnt how to not get them now (I think).
My biggest lessons this year were (note: I made all these as mistakes and it's the reason my progress hasn't been great)
(1) Lean bulk, do not eat like a pig
(2) If an exercise hurts, stop
(3) Will only spin your wheels gaining muscle on maintenance calories or a calorie deficit
(4) Fat is probably as important as protein in a diet
(5) Gotta lose weight gradually to maintain strength, which takes AGES, so dont eat like a pig!
(6) Keep lifting heavy during a calorie deficit, and dont make the calorie deficit too large
I'm really in need of a good bodybuilding routine, 2014 will be MAX-OT which looks pretty good to me.
