Dowork's Transformation From Wimp to Pimp

[dowork]

Inspired by Krustus' transformation post I thought I'd share my old self and new self. The pic on the left I was 31 years old, 6' 150lbs (soaking wet). Pic on the right I'm 38 (last year) and 225lbs. Not sure of bf% there.

People from way back don't even recognize me, like literally walk passed me. Love it.

Thanks Krust! I was wafer thin my whole life and then I started loosing my hair! I woke up one day and said fuck this shit - hit the weights and never looked back. Now I wear the chrome dome with pride.

Good job. Funny, just 4 years ago I was fighting welterweight (148lbs) and jr.middleweight (155). I'm 6'1" and now I weigh 190ish. People who knew me then do the same as you describe, don't recognize me. I love it.

I always maintained a walking around weight of 155 and I did mega-rounds of sparring, jumping rope and running. I thought I was in shape, and I was, but nothing like feeling swole.

Nice work, brother dowork.

For fucks sake bro, lay off the juice.....haha


Seriously though. Great work!

 

[dowork]

Haha Z I'll take that as a compliment lol.

Thanks misterB, I tore my rotator cuff soon after that photo and I'm still rehabbing, so hoping to get back to that size soon.

Thanks Morrey - there used to be a recovery drink called Swole, I would tell people that's what I was on if they asked what I was "on".

Hanzo - don't ever run into me in a dark alley and expect a fight, I will be running the other direction, probably much slower than you. Btw - that's a good 40lbs you put on, it sounds like your 'before' pic is similar to mine.

Wow nice work brotha. You put on some serious mass to transform your body.
Shows a lot hard work and dedication. Karma!

 

[Wacker]

Great work....seems like the one think all of the older men have learned is long and hard makes shit work!!!

Karma brother.

 

[flyingfox]

Wow bro, you look like a completely different person.....well done!

 

[zombieslayer]

Great job!

And get well soon!

Godspeed!!!

 

[slimpickings]

Damn son you have definitely made some great gains. Taking the slow and steady route is the best way keep plugging away brother.

 

[JM750]

Excellent work! karma to you Sir.

 

[dowork]

Thanks guys. I know I'm not anywhere as big as some of you beasts but I feel good about what I've accomplished so far. We have to remember that we are only competing against ourselves, not the other guys we see pressing 495 for reps.

 

[Walker]

Hell yeah bro great job

 

[TSizemore]

Awesome work Dowork!! It's all about the dedication and persistance! Way to go!

 

[dowork]

Thanks bros. No one else out there really knows how much goes into this - except guys like you all.

I distinctly remember my first day in the gym at age 30. I saw everyone else putting 45lb plates on the bar so I did the same - one plate per side on the flat bench.

I lowered the bar to my chest and as I pressed upward only my right arm moved up, about 3 inches - which was just enough to let the left plate slide off the bar and then the right plate too.

I didn't know what collars were. Laying there holding the empty bar was so embarrassing. Glad I kept at it!
