gfxlonghorn Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hey, I am Nik and I am 19. I have been working out for the last 2 years. I have been a vegetarian all my life, and was a skinny athlete up until the point I started working out. I started working out with a lot of my time on my hands, and there was some definite over training going on(for a 6 month period I was going to the gym 13-14 times a week), but the results came fast(with some stretch marks of course). I have been maintaining since I got to college and I currently attend UT Austin where I am a sophomore. Despite my pictures, I really don't have abs( though I do appreciate good lighting.) I am having a hard time losing body fat since I have played soccer all my life and my body has never been in a period where I was taking in a large amount of calories along with fat, so my body is accustomed to a rather low fat/low calorie diet. Despite having periods where I ran 2 miles everyday for about 4-5 months, I still haven't been able to get ab definition without good lighting. Just looking to talk about working out and dieting with people who I don't have to explain to them that "Yes, I am a vegetarian. Yes I work out. And Yes I see results." Thanks!Here are a few pics I took today:http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/5333/abof4.jpghttp://img294.imageshack.us/img294/3882/sidexk1.jpghttp://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3760/frontmo3.jpghttp://img502.imageshack.us/img502/5136/backcd9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yo, welcome to the forum man. From those pics, it doesn't look like you're far from your goal, you look in great shape. It must just be a few pounds of fat that you want to lose now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfxlonghorn Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Thanks everyone!Welcome! Great intro! I also love soccer and I want to visit Austin, TX sometime! Please tell me more about it. I've heard wonderful things. P.S. GREAT biceps!!!!!!!!Yeah Austin is a bit weird to say the least. Though during the school year, we stay in our little campus bubble+sixth street. I think Leslie sums up Austin pretty succinctly, a homeless cross dresser who ran for mayor got 8% of the vote. It is definitely an experience, though I have mainly limited it to friday nights/saturday mornings in dorm rooms. But yeah, I think my biceps and triceps are my strongest muscle groups. When I was going 2x a day, I really got into my biceps because I was seeing some pretty ridiculous amounts of growth in that area, but as soon as that growth tapered off, triceps gave me a second wind. For a time, I was doing a huge amount of pullups post workout, and was very close to the much allusive one handed pull up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
