Alright guys giving a little update. I just weighed myself and i'm at 157. Very happy. I am seeing the difference in my traps and shoulders the most. That has been a main focus of mine. I own p90x but gonna start doing some ab ripper x after my workouts to start shredding the stomach. So thanks so much for everyone's input but i am getting there guys!
Awesome man keep it up!
A little note on abs, old saying "abs are made in the kitchen" is for the most part, very true.
Basically, the visibility of your core muscles including, abdominal muscles (front region), obliques (lower sides), and serratus (upper side and often confused with the ribcage on very lean people) is largely dependent on your bodyfat levels.
You can have the biggest core muscles but if you have a high bodyfat level than the visibility of these muscles can be greatly compromised. For example, take a look at the powerlifters you often see on "Strongest Man" competitions. I guarantee they have insanely strong core muscles but they are not very visible due to high bodyfat levels.
My advice, if you are simply trying to get bigger and stronger, I wouldn't worry much about a "6 pack". Just eat big plates of food and pick up heavy weights. Worry about abs later down the road.
