Before & After (5months later)

[jerseyjay]

First day going to the gym - September 15th, 2007 (*Picture taken before workout)




Photo taken today (January 22nd, 2008) after bicep workout.
Daily workout / good diet / Protein / Creatine / NO-Explode. There is still a lot before me but I'm please with what I see only 5 months later ! Its bulking time now. Wish me luck !

Looks good, but its a slightly tainted comparison because you're not flexing in original photo and the black and white image provides a different view.

I agree - always good to take the after pic as close as possible to the way you took the before shot. Good work none the less.

[NoExcuses]

Nice work on getting in there and doing it! Stay at it and your results will continue!

You can't compare black and white to colour. How do we know its even really you????

Don't mean to sound like a beech, but if it is REALLY you I give you props. 0-)

[BiggerGuns=LongerDrives]

I can see results, but I agree, the pics are not comparable for a few reasons.

1.) You are flexing in the after pic and not in the before pic.
2.) You are standing under favorable lighting in the after and not in the before
3.) Black and white pics always looks better.

All of these reasons make the 2nd pic more flattering, so this may be giving off a false impression???

Again, I see results, but it's hard to tell how much unless you go back to where and how you took the before pic and do so from same exact angle and spacing from camera

Congrats on sticking to it and making changes

Great JOB Jersey...

Way to go and much luck in you future success. Black and white pics are great. Take some relaxed shots and post em. Looks like you have done a great job and should be proud.

[RyanLRams]

I can see a difference for sure, though I'd like to see a few more shots. To be honest, this is motivating to me. To see that change has got me excited to see my own change! I am only 3 weeks into my program, and there has been no change visually, BUT GO**AMN MY MUSCLES ARE ALL SOLID 24/7! Strength increases too. I can't wait to see where I am in 5 months time.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks All ! I really appreciate your feedback !

You are all correct. Black / White pictures do add that "tiny bit" to overall appearance. I will post the color one when I get home. This was quick and dirty pix taken by my wife. That day I did bicep, came from the gym, took my t-shirt off and decided to take a quick snap. Didn't really care where I was standing but BiggerGuns is right on the money, definitely favorable lighting. 1st picture was taken right before 1st gym session but it would have been smart to flex for a second to see the real difference. I will report back in couple weeks hopefully with full-body shot

Thanks again and good luck to all !

Yea, even still with the post-WO pump you can tell you got bigger for sure.

What routine/diet you rocking?

holy bat sh!t!

how much u gain?

looks like u have potential to get HUUGE and sick!

[jerseyjay]

Your feedback is boosting my motivation so Thank You All !!! Now that I think about it, its actually 4 months, not 5 I think that NO-Explode is messing my math skills Keep in mind that I'm far from an expert and please tell me how I can improve either diet or routine. Thanks in advance !

Before September 15th I was around 190-195lbs depending on the day and amount of food I ate that day. Right now I'm ~198-200lbs but I can tell that I lost fat especially around waist and gained muscle. I obviously want to gain more and I have been following above diet, especially throughout the day snacks, for last 2 weeks. I want to continue with it for couple more months and see the impact.

Color picture as promised.
