Nice work Armin! I’m 37, over the past two years I’ve gotten stronger and bigger than ever. Now it’s my season to shed the ‘fat jacket’. In 12 weeks I plan on dropping 20 lbs of fat. This will bring me to 9% BF. Inspiring story ,thanks again.

Thank you guys for all your compliments regarding my transformation. Some of you ask for another before pic. I send it to Mark so he could update his articel. Its a realy bad picture of me, being totally out of shape. But with the right information from Mark i found my way to have the body i dreamed of for so long.

Just commenting to notify you guys of an update. Armin sent me another ‘before’ pic because some of you were asking for it. I think it makes it all the more impressive – see the bottom of the article for the pic.

to clarify -it’s excellent, but notice a few critical things: tanning, cuts hair and most importantly, shaves body hair – this also dramatically impacts perception of contour and muscle definition….

@Mark
Sorry, I missed the 6 month part. I saw at 19% BF, “Within several weeks on your THT and MANS programs, I began to change and my abs showed up”. This got me immediately wanting to see pics. The body fat loss makes all the difference. I think if a lot of us were lower BF, we’d quite impressed with our muscles.

I will be 46 next year and I feel and look better than ever before. Why? Because I started bodybuilding and took to fitness like never before. And I started at 42. As a child I was always fat, in my 20s and 30s my weight would constantly fluctuate. By Christmas of 2006, I had developed a tummy…couldn’t see my you-know-what anymore. Was terrifying!! From the 6th of Jan 2007 I started going to the gym, in 6 months lost 6 kilos…and since then have been on a strict workout plan. I work hard at the gym, follow my routines religiously, eat healthy (I do give myself the occasional liberty to enjoy a piece of chocolate cake every few weeks!). So in short, age is no barrier in starting and wanting to look good and build a strong and mascular physique. By the way, thanks Mark for posting and sharing. Armin, well done!!

Great results bro, and thanks so much for sharing your story. It’s stuff like this that keeps me motivated, and gives me new goals to strive for. Thanks again!

Good job Armin.

Mark, you forgot to mention one of the biggest areas of improvements. The face. I’m amazed at how much younger many people look when they strip away the fat.

Thought I’d throw down these links for anyone who think they’re too “old” to get any benefit out of more activity/weightlifting:

So it’s not only that you look younger, your cells actually “act” younger.

Well done Armin! I have just turned 42 and started training again last year after a 10 year break (I started originally when I was 19). Maybe when I feel confident enough I will put some photos up too…

@John. Yeah about 7 months on MANS to lose 5% body fat, then TSPA from 14% to 10%. Losing 5% @ 200lbs on MANS, which isn’t even a cutting diet, was a hell of a start.

@Andrew. He didn’t do it in a few weeks.

By: Andrew Mast

Andrew Mast — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:26:30 +0000

He looks good. I’d like to see before pictures. I’m finding it hard to believe that a 200 pound 19% going away in a few weeks! I’m not one to doubt easily but If you can get before pictures, can you post them? it’s more motivating for my 36 year old lazy body. 🙂

Thanks Mark!!
