end of bulk pix

Havent posted here in a while, reached my goal of 189lbs at end of bulk, I'm 5'8, and this is the heaviest i've ever been. bf is up to 17%, which im a little freaked by, but i should be able to make it down to 11% or lower by summer. My lifts are up a lot, personal best on flat bench recently 325 1x, and 300 4x.

now i'm cutting, protein and veggies at dinner, lots of boxing. lets see how i end up...thanks in advance for comments and suggestions - mike

you're a big dude. great progress. can't wait to see how you'll look after you cut :)

If i was your size, id be smiling like hell in every picture..congrats and good luck man.

wow. awesome work dude.  you don't look like 17% bf IMO... u look lower.

can't wait to see the cut.  u have inspired me to keep bulking b/c the last few days i've been doubting myself

My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.

First, wow your upperbody is freakin AWESOME great work!!! I'd love to see you after you cut...

Second, I think your lacking in your legs, looking at the pictures your calves look tiny compared to anything in the upperbody area. I can't really tell because your not posing any leg shots, so it could be different. Other than that wow!

BTW Your shoulders are freaking giganti-won, I mean just wow look at those things. From the looks I bet you could stop a bus moving at 60mph..

Your Ballinnnnnnnnnn haha... Man thats is tight i agree you dont look 17 percent bf... GL  on the cut

It is not the years in your life, but the life in your years.

Good job, what weight did you bulk from and how long did it take. Yeah you dont look 17%, you look a little lower.

Wish I could figure out how to multi quote all of you, thanks a lot for the comments. I do work my legs, but have a herniated disc so exercises like free squats i've always had to go lighter on than I'd like (and for a long while couldnt do at all). i am working my calves, and they are coming along, but with 16.5 in biceps, dunno if they'll ever be balanced.

for reference, thought you guys might like to see my progress since I started lifting seriously:
