Jan' pictures

[jan]

As stated in my last post on the log bit of the forum, here are the pictures that were taken this morning. I have been on GUTS for about 19 weeks, never pushing myself to the limits.

Hey Jan,

YOU are looking AWESOME man!

I would have chosen the photo you did for your avatar too!

Keep moving forward & take care,
Steve

Great work, Jan. I'm curious, what kind of workout are you doing? You're getting great results.

[jan]

Tejas,

I've done the G.U.T.S. routine primarily, but at low intensity, i.e. low reps, never really pushing myself to the limit. Further, I tend to watch my diet, more specifically the amount I eat. I only eat until I'm satisfied, not full! Apart from that, M7's were always performed at the end of the day, just before retiring to bed, but, again, never more than 2 sets, varying intensity medium to high.

Jan

You are welcome Jan.

You take care Brother.

[Greg Newton]

Looking great, lean and well defined!


Whew,

Looking VERY WELL DEFINED! However, I do believe you've put some muscular size on since the last pictures you posted. You are looking good.

Tomman,

thanks :)

Greg,

I did put on some muscle, especially the upper arm. I owe that, I think, to the MILO, and GUTS of course.
I'm looking for a lite, ripped look, much like the jungle cats (cogar or mountainlion are my favorites). From what I remember of my gymnastic days, we used to do low volume push ups and sit-ups, never going to failure. Yet my look was already well defined and finely muscular. I believe the low volume approach, and the fact that gymnastics is a kind of full-body isometrics, were responsible for defining my build, then AND now. So eventually, I will go back to that mode of training: low volume push ups and sit ups, DVR/DSR and isometrics. John's handstand book is actually filled with what I need, but I'm going to lay (rebuild) the foundation first with PYTP.

Great progress! You almost look like a different person.

[farrout]

Hey Jan,

I am impressed to say the least, YOU are looking AWESOME!

YOU are living, breathing of the Power of Transformetrics.

Be proud of yourself man, I certainly are.

Keep moving forward,
Steve

[Greg Newton]

Fantastic Jan! I especialy love the back shots. You've got a look that says COORDINATED STRENGTH. Good job.

Hey guys,

thanks for the kind words :) Part of the continued progress is due to the great support on this forum. Thanks for being here :)

[Paul_DuVall]

Wow Jan! Very inspiring photos! Thank you! Out of curiosity, what are you upper arm and forearm measurements?

[jan]

Hey Paul,

thanks :)
Regarding my measurements: it has been a while since I measured them. Plan to do that shortly though, I will let you know.

Jan

[John Peterson]

Jan My Friend,



WOW! Forget the measurements Jan. You look fantastic. Your physique is just about a carbon copy of what Yul Brynner sported in "Kings of the Sun". LITHE, LEAN & SCULPTED...IN MY OPINION...PERFECT.

[jan]

John,

thank you for the kind words :) I still would like to see some more definition in the abs though. I must say I do like the lithe and sculped look of the '40 and '50 stars.

Jan

[michael]

Wow Jan! Those are solid measurements! It is great to see your transformation! I do have to say that from the pictures, your upper arms look more like 14.5 inches than 12.8 inches but I trust that you know what you are doing with your arm measurements. Great job!

Be Blessed!

[jan]

Thanks Paul :)

Jan,

Great pictures. Your are very lean and muscular and with the shaved head look like a Shaolin monk. I also love the wood paneling in your room. That is a nice den.

Greg

Looking strong, balanced, and awake, Jan!

[farrout]

Hey Jan,

AWESOME photos !

Your rear delts in particular are very well developed.

Take care,
Steve

[keith james]

Hi Jan

Awesome pictures of your development so far, i especially like the front and rear double bicep pose.

On the front bicep pose, i like the cuts on the inside of your upper arms and on the rear bicep pose i love the arm and delt development.

Great work, keep it up.

KEITH JAMES.
