STR if that’s “all” you did to achieve that shape, then you’ve made even me jealous! I’m on a gym break right now (got boring, going back next month though), but at 3 gym sessions similar to yours and at least one bike ride every week, I look nothing like you! I had to gain weight too to get any muscles (and in 6 weeks off the gym, I’ve lost 7lb and gained tubbiness too. Muscle does weigh more than fat people!), maybe I really need to continually be stricter with what I eat rather than just sporadically so.
I’ve specifically tried not to bulk up in the gym, as I don’t want to be big, just ripped – so I don’t go too big on protein. I think most of the muscle was there to start with, just latent and covered with a bit of fat. Pecs are a bit bigger now than that photo and biceps are nicely cut.
Oh, I’m 40 too – just wish I’d done it in my 20’s & 30’s
