pistachio's 2012 Body Transformation

Member
Age: 25
Weight: ~90kgs
Waist: 33" (as measured about the mole on my stomach, with good posture)
Bodyfat: ~10% as at 21 December
Goal: Look awesome at the end of this contest

No newspaper pics, but I have been taking regular pics over the last 12 weeks, so you all know this is me as of today. If there are still any doubters, I might be able to take a newspaper home from work during the week and take a pic. Let me know if you need me to (like I said, I've posted up loads of pics recently, so should be fine).

First the relaxed pics.

3/1 in current betting (http://ausbb.com/rules-information-...-transformation-contest-rule-information.html)

Short in the betting, and for good reason. Has age, experience and and excellent preparation in his favour, plus a real will to win. Racing at another class now from his early appearances on the track and Weight for Age will be no test. Some question about natural performance enhancers being used in the early days of 2012, but the stable has official clearance and all results expected to be above board from this point.

A real danger.

Lookin awesome Pistachio, can't wait to see you at the end of 2012. I'm putting money on this one guys.

Good luck
Graeme
 
Thanks for the vote of confidence Rambo, I can't wait either! I'm quite excited to see what I can achieve this year, with proper diet and training
 
Thanks mate.

Yeah, I don't know how the hell you are going to judge it. Weighing up factors like how much progress an individual has already made (and how hard future gains are to be made), noobie gains, weight loss vs weight gain, genetics etc - going to be tough.

Personally, I think the comp should be judged based on merit - ie who worked the hardest all year, rather than an overall transformation. But how do you measure that?

In any case, I am planning on looking awesome by next summer, whether I win or whether I don't even place, if I can get to the physique I want by next summer, I'll be a winner :)

50+ entrants, you might want to reconsider lol

Just a quick update, not sure if I've made much progress yet, but the number of comments I am getting at the gym is ridiculous (and starting to get annoying). It might just be that they haven't adjusted to me being lean and tanned yet (as opposed to fat and white).

I won't post up any pics until the test booster trial is done, and will probably update every 3 months after that. Hoping to be around the 92-93kgs mark when I next post up pics, hopefully will be a noticeable change by then.
 
A few updated pics. I don't think I've made much if any change so far. My waist is marginally down, and my bodyweight is hovering about the same (90-91). Strength has gone up however.

But considering that Feb 2012 was easily the worst month of my entire life and my diet went to complete shit, I'm reasonably happy that I have at least maintained my physique.

Any differences in the pics below are probably just posing and or lighting. I'm not sure why I look darker on the right, cos I was easily darker on the left.

nicely done. I can defiantly notice a difference, leaner for sure. That front double bicep pose, ur left bicep with the vein between the bicep and tricep looks sick. From what i can see, traps actually look like they have gotten bigger.
 
Look leaner. Right arm looks bigger too. fapping? :p

Definately leaner mate. To me its evident in all 3 shots. Mostly first two though.

I think traps have grown slightly, or I've leaned up. Because traps always look bigger when you are leaner (or at least to me). I'm still yet to get myself a set of straps, i'm hoping with the heavy shrugs they'll really start growing.

Nah, its weird. Look at front double bis. Right arm looks bigger than left. Now look at most muscular, left arm looks bigger than right. I've got strange vascularity, heaps of veins on the inside of the right arm but none on the outside. Heaps of veins on the outside of the left arm, but none on the inside lol.

That said, my vascularity has improved lately. Not sure if that is necessarily due to me being leaner or what, but it is a welcome improvement in any case :)
 
Overall looking leaner and of course darker. Second pic, you can tell your right forearm is leaner, pecs leaner and veins more pronounced. You're doing modeling now so that in itself has to validate all the effort you're putting in. Nice
