Above Image taken Sunday 10th June 2007 was when I was at my heaviest. I had been traveling for a year and not done any sort of training for the entire year I was away.

At this stage I weighed 14.5 stone. I don’t think fat is the right word. I felt at the time like a bloated pig. like my body had swelled up.

the following images are ones I took before I went traveling and had been training on and off for 7 years:

I think I lost some size and definition for not training for a year although I found that once I got back into training it wasnt long before I was back were I started. I think this as something to do with muscle memory.

The above image was taken on 27th january 2007

Even though I have only trained about 5 out of the last 8mths I think you’ll agree I have made some decent improvement on my legs when comparing this photo with the one from the top.
