I’m now 13 Stone – 3 more pounds to go

A quick update on my fitness progression. I’m now at 13 stone (or 182 lbs). That’s a total gain of 34 lbs now, so 3 more lbs doesn’t look too difficult at all. When I reach 185 I’ll put pictures up.

At 6′3″ 185 lbs is actually still rather skinny, so don’t expect me to look amazing, yet.

But compare me with my original 148 lbs and I promise I look quite different.

Ectomorph Bulking

For the past 56 weeks I’ve been trying to put on weight.

I’m naturally very thin and very tall, which is not the best combination. Last year I decided once again to rectify this situation and put on some muscle. After a year, I’ve been surprisingly successful!

So far I’ve managed to put on 32 lbs. I started out weighing 148lbs at 6′ 3″ and today I’m 180lbs at… um 6′ 3″

Being so tall, 180 lbs is still pretty thin, but I don’t look ill like I used to. (At some point I’ll post some before-pictures and you will see what I mean.)

The goal I set 56 weeks ago was to reach 185lbs, and I’m really pleased with myself for getting so close. When I do reach it I’ll probably take a break and maintain over the summer before continuing for another 15lbs over the winter. I’m not really sure what my final weight should be, but I’m hoping it’s 200lbs because of it being a nice round number!

Sundays are my day for updating my stats, so expect me to post measurements on a weekly basis from now on. Here are this week’s:
