Last night I hopped on the scales; not something I do very often any more, now that my goals are more about performance than looks or weight. However, I have to admit I was a bit upset when they said that my body-fat is back up over 20% again now... first time that's happened since I first fought it down from 24% at the start of this whole body-shaping thing. My weight is up from 70kg to just under 74kg, and it looks like most of that increase has been fat rather than muscle.
Still, I was having plenty of fun freerunning this summer, and my weightlifting is going well so far this autumn (records set in the last fortnight: 80kg bench, 115kg squat, 130kg deadlift, 50kg shoulder press), so I'm trying not to worry about it too much. It did remind me that it's been a long time since I took some progress pics though, so I figured I'd do that today and see what's what. So here we go...
Relaxed: front, back

Tensed: front, back

Posture: slouching, corrected

Bonus back pics; a couple of active hangs (normal and wide grip), and halfway through a wide-grip pull-up:

Year by year...
It's been just over 2 years since I took my first progress pics... so here's a line-up from 2011, 2012, 2013:
... I think my boobs have got bigger. :-p
