I started at 230lbs @16.2%BF and ended up at 205lbs @ 6.5%BF, for a total loss of 25lbs and about 10%BF. But since a picture is worth a thousand measurements here they are:

Just as an FYI voting lasts for 48hrs

Brian's (note I spelled it right this time) pics aren't showing up here at work. He must have used roids because my company is good at filtering out the riff from the raff over the interweb.

Just a little joke. I haven't voted and won't until I look over the pics a bit more thoroughly.

I don't know if this helps, but here are the picture and stat posts that each of them made in the Challenge thread.

Jugglecat

[Jean-Paul]

Man, this is really tough!

Both look fantastic... I am going to have to go through the challenge thread to do some more research before I vote.

But congratulations to you both. Neither one of you will "lose" considering you now have excellent physiques that any male would be proud of.

I briefed them over, but I want to try and notice some detail that puts one before the other so that it's not just a coin toss. It's so close.

[Cynic]

I'm going to post some side by sides of similar poses:



Jugglecat appears to have larger delts, but the arm position is most likely a factor (Jugglecat has his arms raised higher, causing greater accentuation of the delts).
Jugglecat definitely has better biceps peaks, but Brian's entire back has greater definition. You can really make out the traps.

Neither one seems to have lost much, if anything, from girth. It's almost as if they packed on muscle at the same rate at cutting fat. This ia especially true for JC.




It's hard to tell if JC is flexing. If not, then whoa! But Brian is showing muscle striation in the pecs and in the shoulders, also very, very impressive.

Brian doesn't have any good pics of his wheels, so I have to leave that out of the equation.

Legs take it for me. Jugglecat winner - hands down.

[Aoife]

Damn!

[kingkop182]

Vote made. Both did a fantastic job

[MindPower]

awesome job guys, congratulations to both of you

[strambo]

Voted. Both are impressive, but Brian went from overweight to having a back that looks like it should be in an anatomy text book. Great job guys!

[Brian A.]

Where's my before side pic, who's running this crazy thing Lol j/k gob you're doing a great job.

[gobbla]

Jugglecat for the Win!

Congratulations!

My wife likes to watch those dancing reality shows and at the end the always chat briefly with the runner up before quickly ushering them off to crown the champ, so hear goes. First congrats to my more than worthy apponent. I have trained guys with a similar body type to yours so I can definetly appreciate what it took for you to put on the mass that you did. I'm still in awe of your lats. You've got to share the secret to that width.
This contest was awsome! I definetly would not have gotten back into this kind of shape this year without this motivation, and this time I'm not squandering it.
They're giving me the wrap it up sign so thanks to LD for starting this whole thing and to Gob for running it. And again big congrats to Tony, awsome job.
