@Malinor, goddamn. I continue to be amazed no matter how many times I see those images. I'm more impressed by the forarms than by the biceps/triceps, but that might just be because my forarms don't seem to respond to ANYTHING that I do in the gym. They get a better workout stacking and splitting wood at home than they do lifting weights =(

Are you getting skin removal surgery? If not, how do you plan to get rid of the extra?

@uhh negative, I'm not sure if it's the pose, the abs, the paleness or the vascularity but your second pic really reminds me of Martin Berkhan (the leangains dude). That's a good thing.

Malinor looks like a marvel villain now with all that skin hanging out. Kickass reduction tho, gratz.

Yes, I plan to have surgery for that, but it won't be soon. I think mid 2013 is realistic. Of course you will get updated pics then.

And yeah, I am actually quite surprised by forarms (and biceps) too. Honestly, before those pictures I never realized how those looked.
The way I trained it makes a lot of sense though. I trained Chin-Ups (assisted/ band assisted/negatives, jumping, just hanging on the bar) for so long and at ridiculous high weights. And since I can do them they still have been my number one priority. So basically what chance did my body have besides adapting to the massive stress on those arms.

I am quite sure that grip strength is not gonna be a problem tuntil I hit like 250kg deadlifts or so.

I'd stop worry about what you're eating and start eating more calories. More fat. More squats and deadlifts. You still have a LOT of weight to out on if you want to fill out your body frame. I'm only 3cm taller and over 30kg heavier lol. You could definitely use at least 15-20kg

yeah actually i would be right now in a bulking phase(fall-spring) but my gf said she likes 6 packs more so i went for this programm with : eat alot caloriern carbon hydrates at training day and normal at non training days, next year fall im gonna start to bulk again and eat like a madman

i just started to do that diet(like 1 week ago)
(beginn to read at "the solution")
"http://www.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=de&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.team-andro.com%2Fwie-man-opimal-muskeln-aufbaut-und-fett-verliert.html"

its in german and i google translated it in english for you

mayb it will work for me for this year and summer until my next bulking phase in fall

but well i agree, i need to deathlift and squat higher, i only deathlift 90 kg and its super hard for me cauz i loose the grip and its very hard to hold it

Post more in the progress/lifting threads if you need help!
And she won't be mad when all you muscles grow exponentially and you're way stronger even if you put on a bit of fat.

She'll like whatever you like - confidence is WAY more sexy than any single body type or muscle group. If you want to stay skinny like that, it's up to you, not her.

But this forum is a little bit skewed towards the whole "fuck yeah big squats" school of thought.

some seriously amazing progress from ppl here but Malinor is the bomb. Dat muscle mass. Once reduction surgery is done you will be one of the guys at the gym that people admire from afar and wish they will one day look like (and think man he probably had it easy, good genetics etc). Little do they know you probably came from a dark dark place and you got where you are with hardcore determination and strength of will.
