Journey to putting on serious muscle mass (75kg by may 2015)

Mainly mike rashid, kali mucle, pog, raymond walker a.k.a The Iron Assassin and theterribletwins lol
Was feeling left out of the posing in this thread so took a quick back selfie.
72kg, lifetime natty. You've definitely got that V-taper back moreso than I do Somalia, do try to hang onto that. In fact on re-watching, I think I'm a bit jealous of your potential waist-to-shoulder ratio...I need to get back into pull-ups *grumble* And I'm quite asymmetrical too on closer inspection...and my forearms suck. Man, why would anybody subject themselves to the insecurity complex that is bodybuilding? >__>

Yeah man i watched few of his vids haha he's legit for sure man!
GODDAMN!, I'm not very knowledgeable but to me your waist looks small as well man and regardless of it tell me your back is NOT big lol, especially for only 72kg, if I can get huge bulges in my triceps like yours at that weight (and quads or maybe I'm asking for too much lmao) id be happy af lol, looking good bro! Btw what is your current bf % man just curious..so many cuts lolWas feeling left out of the posing in this thread so took a quick back selfie.

> has triceps and quads of the gods
I'm pretty short, remember! I stand at 5 foot 7 inches, giving me a BMI of 25. A 6 foot man with the equivalent BMI would weigh about 84kg. How tall are you Somalia (apologies if you've already said)?
I'm not sure on my bf%...it was about 17% when I started this cut but I've noticed the obliques popping out since then. Pushing towards 12% if I had to take a guess? I'll get it tested next time I'm in Boots.
Couldn't help but notice a edit in the thread title; you've revised your goal from 85kg to 75kg? Sensible move...I chose my words carefully in this thread to avoid being a party-pooper but I did think 85kg by May was asking a bit much! Or is there another reason for your revision? Either way, 75kg from where you started would still be plenty impressive.
Drink more tea and eat your oats!

Unfortunately stress due a number of things made me lose alot of weight, I gained some more muscle and lost a bit more fat but its very little. Mistake number one was not keeping up posting here on a monthly basis to motivate myself. Anyways I went back down on squats as my form was hideous as well as benching so I'm pretty much starting from scratch.
Current weight 57kg 9% bodyfat
Squats: 80kg / 176lb 5 sets of 5
Bench: 60kg / 135lb 5 sets of 5
Deadlift: 265lb / 5 sets of 5
Will hopefully aim to hit 60kg bodyweight by mid march.
Started to incorporate standing military press to aid with my horrific benching power so expect the bench to increase rapidly!
