View Full Version : Here's what a 150lb bodyweight gain looks like!
A few months after I first started lifting I began keeping track of my bodyweight increase over the years with a quick snap every 50lbs or so, and seeing as I have finally just about hit 275lbs I thought some of you might find this little collage amusing. Pics are, give or take a pound or two either way:
Top left - 125lbs March 2004
Top right - 175lbs May 2006
Bottom left - 225lbs April 2008
Bottom right - 275lbs December 2009
So, 325lbs for 2011?

**** 325 you will still look skinny until you weight 400lbs!!
Amazing difference!
I bet you're gutted that you've lost the peak on your biceps though?:flamethrowingsmiley
Nice gains mate. In the second pic you look similar to Craig the 80kg lifter at the BDFPA comp. 325 would be HUGE mate.
Nice! Frickin' huge difference mate.
Excellent that you have had the vision to document the weight gain!
Did your landlord take the last two pics:a2a:
...oh and I forgot, your collar size hasn't changed from the time you took the first pic:023:
Ha ha nice - and your appetite hasn't changed a bit!
You probably look best at around the 225lb mark personnally. I still can't believe how skinny you started out though!

LOL
There is no way you can compare the 225lb pic with JLS. JLS would probably be closer to the 125lb pic.

Can we see the ripped abz from when you were 125lb?

Looking at that your body wants to weigh 220, tops...lol. The chub to lean gain % has changed for the worse as your BW has gone up, you have reached the point where you will now get very fat. Get on vitamin T immediately and solve this problem.
lol.
fo' real tho, thats some big ole BW gains, nice one.
My body wants to weigh 150 tops, fortunately though it doesn't get a say in this.

Tim! This is the picture I couldnt find that I wanted to put on your T-shirt!
Dammit!!!!:thumbdown:
Wow it is incredible although the final pic looks abnormal with some muscle poking through the fat lol
I have asked you about this before but do you think you are close the point where you will cut back because as Gav said it is clear you body wasn't designed to carry that amount of weight and are you worried about gaining more fat for small increases in muscle?
James, you forget in the land of the swole that any weight is good weight. IMO if you increase BW by 20lb and your bench only goes up 20lb too you haven't gotten THAT much stronger, well not at Tim's weight anyway, as decreased leverages play a large role.
I am no bodybuilder, I couldn't give a **** about the fat to be honest, provided I am getting stronger. But even from an aesthetic point of view my preference is unreservedly with the last pic, the rest just look like a skinny guy to me, like any 140kg deadlifting prick in any gym you care to look, and to quote Mike Bell... "I'd rather be dead than average".
Aled, you really do come out with some mentally deficient faggotry of the highest order sometimes. If your bench goes up 20lbs, you have gotten 20lbs stronger, it really is as simple as that, opinions have nothing to do with it, this is a fact, and adding 20lbs of bodyweight when you already weigh 250+ has a far lesser effect on strength than on someone who weighs 150, this is another one. All this leverage bollocks is yet more bullshit weak people come out with to justify their pitiful lack of achievement, my joints are in the same places they have always been and my limbs haven't gotten any shorter. In my opinion gaining no strength in as long as I can remember and if anything losing some despite the fact you can't even squat 120kg at 100kg bodyweight after years of training is, frankly, tragic, and not the resume of someone whose opinion on what constitutes strength I am likely to give much credence to. 16% bodyfat, two two abs under the right light when you squint and a 65kg overhead press, wow, incredible! Do excuse me while I get on the yoghurt weaving, lemongrass and mungbean ryebread sandwhich diet so I too can achieve such incredible feats of strength and physical prowess!
Louie Simmons says no one gives a flying **** about strength for bodyweight. This is true, but generally the guys who are strong at lighter bodyweight usually turn into absolute animals when they finally decide to pack some real size on. The ones who bitch about us 'fatties' being stronger then them are those that are small and weak. Being 'light' is not an excuse to be weak, if you want to talk about strength to bodyweight which you clearly always bring up me and narc still have a much higher wilks than you do!:flamethrowingsmiley

I could't agree with this more. JB knows how much I hate "weight-class" lifting. In a strength sport the only goal should be to lift more weight. A 200kg man who can deadlift 300kg is more impressive to me than a 75kg man who can deadlift 295kg any day of the week. A ****ing ant can lift more than all of us in %age bodyweight and I can KILL an ant with my little finger :cutup:
WORD to that Mr Manatee my swole brother, lol.
Loving the ant analogy, I shall use that, credited to your good self of course.
Do you honestly think I give a **** about how much I can squat? I'm plenty strong enough to compete at my sport, and if I was able to spend more than 2 sessions a week in the gym for 9months of the year, without niggling injury and soreness as well as rugby training 3 x per week and having a full job then that insult might actually mean something. Talk about stating the obvious there Tim, the old ad homien attack never was or is clever, and doesn't add anything to my point.
There's no way you can try to tell me decreased leverages don't play a role in your poundages going up, else why do all natural lifters chase that weight gain? It's all muscle right?
And I'm taking NOTHING away from your acheivements here. What you've done is a credit to hard work, commitment and sheer bloodymindedness, not that you probably need my acceptance anyway.
However, this inferiority complex you have with being small or average is pretty telling being a former skinny. Tell me what's impressive about carrying a load of non-functional mass if it means you can claim to be 140kg? If that's what has to happen for acceptance here now I'll enjoy feeding my face. I find gaining that sort of weight as impressive as you might find someone getting as lean as you in the above pic.

Well, when you're deadlifting 310kg aged 63 maybe you'll have a right to 'talk out of your arse' aswell.

Yes, I honestly think you give a **** how much you squat, are you really going to try and pretend that you don't? You train with weights and have been posting on weightlifting forums for what, five years? My point is, you have the audacity to sit back and criticise the way someone has increased their strength, as if it somehow doesn't amount to very much because they didn't stay at 60kg bodyweight at the same time, when you yourself as demonstrated in your journal have gained absolutely NONE in three years!

****ing decreased leverages, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CAUSED THE STRENGTH GAIN, IT'S STILL STRENGTH GAIN! If the mass is contributing to my strength then it's functional, and I'm not arguing the impressiveness of carrying it around, I'm arguing the impressiveness of using it to lift heavy weights. Though yes, I also find it far more impressive as an achievement in itself than walking around carrying **** all, as I know what kind of work has to go into it and all the bullshit you have to put up with from the skinnies....
You're picking far too easy a target with my squats. When I was lifting three years ago I'm not even sure i could squat properly, I'm still not convinced I can now. If it were my absolute priority I'd have done something about it, lifting in general to me is not though, even though I have an unhealthy interest in it and enjoy doing it. I'm certainly no weaker than 3 years ago. Do I like to lift? Yes. Is it my number one priority no.
My own strength should have no bearing on me questioning how you've done things, if there were nobody here to challenge your view what would you do? Wallow in your own pit of self congratulation? What's audacious about challenging the norm held view here? There's plenty of guys at 100kg stronger than you, gear or not.
Yes you've gotten stronger, yes you're stronger than me, Ive not once questioned the validity of how you've acheived you goals. I just wonder how much you would progessed at a semi sensible weight. I'll just sit back and see how enjoyable and how sustainable things are for you at this new "swole" BW in future.

Not so sure about that mate. A lot of decent 105kg strongmen (on plenty of gear) have a hard time push pressing 140kg, for example. Also i haven't seen many (can't think of any off the top of my head) natural guys who weigh 100kg press a 135kg log. All these phantom 'friend of a friend who weighs 100kg and squats 300kg' that everyone goes on about usually turn out to be either bullcrap, high or done in gear while on enough gear to kill a small rhino (or all of these).

Well I'm neither of those but I still reserve the right for arse talking!
Point is Louie has been totalling elite for twice as long as i've been alive. He's bound to know a thing or two and talk some sense.
I feel ATZ is getting a raw deal, he is entitled to his opinion although he has to realise what Narc is doing may not be too his liking (and it is not something I would work towards either) BUT Tim set out on a path with his goal in mind and he is doing it so well done. As I have said before people have different training goals, what Narc has achieved in the pursuit of his goals is quite incredible, I would be interested to know what your lifts have changed since the fight club pic to you present stage too?
You could probably rip me a new one with my training progress in terms of weight lifted I guess - not sure without looking back myself but I have made progress in what I have wanted to achieve as my body composition has improved and I used to weight less than 10 stone about 5 years ago and am now about 13.5 stone with a lot more functional strength.
My concern (not that I am nearly crying at my computer screen at the thought of it or anything lol) are the long term health implications in years to come because as I pointed out it is clear your body is not designed to carry that sort of weight and do you think about where you will go in the future? As all that is going to impact your joints etc and although your young still you may incur more injuries as you get older.

I'll just sit back and see how enjoyable and how sustainable things are for you at this new "swole" BW in future.
But Aled, I don't WANT to be a 'semi sensible' bodyweight whatever the **** that is, I don't want to lift sort of ok weights I guess for my meagre weight, I have no interest in that. I want to lift the absolute most that I can lift and am perfectly prepared to carry around a little fat in aid of doing so, which is my decision. So your argument is sort of like me coming along and saying "hey Aled, rugby is shit mate, you should do lawn bowls instead".
I'm not saying lifting is shit though? You're making a strawman argument out of my original point, which was: any weight is good weight as long as it means you shift more plates. You've reinforced this yourself with subsequent rants so what exactly am I taking out of context? You were the one to begin the childish reference to my strength levels, not that I ever questioned yours, how about you come play 80minutes of rugby and see how gay it is for real?
Mate, carry on, like I said I've got respect for how you've done it if not quite understanding why you've done it in the manner you have. I just don't know why you and Sam have to turn every discussion like this into a good old bro down "How much do YOU squat though?" "Post pics or STFU"
Actually looking back at my original post I can see how you may have misinterprited that as me questioning the validity of your strength gain. It wasn't meant to do this in my head but reading it back it does. Some degree of leverage change has helped no doubt in this regard but I didn't mean it to sound as putting BW on equals automatic bigger total.
to carry around a little fat

Narc, in all honesty mate i think you could drop 40lbs and be just as strong. I too have been a big galump, and it was loads of fun and in certain lifts I was pretty strong (pretty weak in certain others to!) but in retrospect the path of bodyweight gains regardless of composition was not the most productive one for me.
I felt a lot better, trained a lot better and in all honesty feel that had I trained for strength been much stronger at this kind of body comp weighing 17 1/2 stone versus being at 19-20 stone in the "weight gains = strength gains" era.
Granted there was more than changes in diet afoot!

Perhaps, but I want to get stronger, not just stay where I am, and you can't deny that ultimately bigger = stronger. And the thing is I really don't feel any need to drop 40lbs, I am more than happy with my current bodyfat levels. Plus let's be honest the 'other' changes do make a considerable difference, I feel certain having dropped 40lbs au natrel I would look nothing like that!

My beard grows in illogical patches and at vastly differing speeds, quickly effecting an adroit impression of a homeless person with a patchwork quilt of pubic hair on his face, it is the cause of much distress to me.

Ok then, Can I join in with a 225lb goal?
Sod it. 330 goal for me. I need some motivation to eat again.

Haha, I like this idea. But first, what are we all already....?
Me--> 165lbs
Narc-> 275lbs
Jonny-> 200lbs?
Will-> 230lbs?
Sam-> 308lbs?
I'm game whatever anyway.
I hover around 305-310 depending on the scales used.

So I'd have to gain 45lbs....
Timmy-> ~25lbs
Sam---> ~25lbs
Will----> ~25lbs
Jonny--> ~25lbs
I don't like my odds...... I'm keen for a "first to gain 25lbs" challenge though?

I've just taken a shot from the front and from the rear, hoping to put together a gay little collage like Timmy has.
Mine won't be anywhere near as crazy though, planning to take pics every 5kg up until 90kg. So i'll have 75kg pics (got now), 80kg pics, 85kg pics and 90kg pics.
Should be interesting.
Hmmmmm....
[deliberates]Don't worry, I don't really want to see them.
Unless you all go for a group naked weigh in that is.

I think I'll get some front and back ones done anyway actually, now I've hit 200lbs. They'll be useful in reminding me how small that actually is!
Sylvester Stallone in Rocky 4 weighed 200lbs ha ha. :038:

He's like 5'6" isn't he? And lean as ****. On me, an 'in shape' 200lbs is small mofo.
Think he's the same height as me mate. 5'8''. Just saying 200 can look big. Frank Zane won Mr Olympia at 190 ha ha ha..
I still looked small at 250, to put thing into perspective.

Yes, but you would perceive yourself as looking "small" at about 400lbs I presume Sam?
Bigorexia. It's a problem to you know. Don't worry, we're all here to help.

Chad Aichs at 380 still thinks he doesn't look big ha ha.

Depends what it's made of.
107kg is as heavy as I've been, I'm currently 99kg and a mate who hadn't seen me for a while said I looked "bigger" at my current weight. Bodyfat definately plays a role in how big you look on the beach, but as for just looking just monsterous a 200lb guy at single digit BF would look pretty small coverd up.
I`ll post my start weight up later tonight.
I reckon i`m about 200lbs :sniper:

I say, you fellows, is the wager not on?
Where are your weights?
i was watching your 150kg bench vid and my wife asked whos that so showed her this thread, she said you looked ill at 125lb lol
Haha, awesome. That does seem to be the general consensus.
Looking ill at 125lbs and 275lbs.
Ill in the STREET sense, yeah.
I know this is an old comment and all, but a now valid response nonetheless
Amazing difference!
I bet you're gutted that you've lost the peak on your biceps though?:flamethrowingsmiley
Doubtful, he's got two now!
