before & after picture...
 

theres about a 3.5 year difference, first picture was me when i was 16 or 17 before i started lifting... 2nd picture is of me today (i look like i'm on crack, i'm sick and tired).. i saw the first picture the other day for the first time and i knew i still had that same shirt, thought it'd be cool to make a before n' after pic outta this

change can be made! jus gotta stick with it... i could have been much bigger if only I would have eaten right the first year n' a half.

You look 13

very cool
pump it up homeboy

just dont stop

lol , nice :thumbsup

what kind of eating plan are you on? good thing u shaved that nsync haircut!

Nice guitar rig. :1orglaugh

:winkwink: nothing special now, i'm not getting nearly as much protein as i probably should. waffles, 4 pb&j, 3 chicken strips, 1 or 2 chicken breasts a night, one other inbetween meal (varies), ton of water.

need to start takin protein drinks again, gained a lactose intolerance last year and i had to stop takin um.

your arms are 3x bigger :thumbsup

I would work out and lift weights, but its too much work :glugglug

ahh, trust me, i don't view it as work.. i spend a lot of time on the computer, it gives me time away to relieve stress and go crazy.. its something i look forward to.. having a partner at first helps, once ya go continually for 3 to 5 months, and see gains, you'll like it. ..atleast, i did.

great pic :thumbsup

Same thing happened to me at that age..

Try keeping that body for another 10 years after you are married and have kids and a stressful business that supports 3 people and then I will be impressed

i was bout your size (in the now photo) before the summer, but now im on a diet and doing cardio cause i want a ripped look. The muscles are nice and all but i enjoy the brad pit in fight club look more.

galleryseek is like me some years ago. The only thing that mattered to me was my body. I was spending my half day in gym and the rest reading about it :Graucho

lol. i spend 45 to hour n' half in the gym... thats all ya need... i train each muscle group every 6 days...

yeah i'm planning on getting real cut for the summer. then bulking up again in the fall / winter.

no i mean excited about it like me. I was more like paranoid. If there was any natural physical gain I had it. Stay clean!

I got pretty big in 1 year too :)


But its all from eating to much.

I wish you would tell the guys at my gym that. They work out for 2 hours everyday. And they wonder why it takes so long for them to build up. I always tell them, your muscles have to heal dumbass!

great improvement! keep it up :thumbsup

hehe , you are breaking hearts to many girlies around :)
nice work , keep going this way :thumbsup
...and avoid the chemicals , it's bullshit

Couple questions if you dont mind galleryseek...

Do you feel you have more or less anxiety now than when you started lifting?

What about your short/long term memory... improved? Or did it get worse?

well... if you're a skinny kid you feel the common anxiety when it comes to physical confrontations and such... that has obviously gone away since i've gotten more muscular... but overall, i'd say yes less anxiety..since i'm able to ware myself out nearly everyday.

as far as memory, i honestly don't know. i haven't noticed any significant difference concerning memory so i assume there isn't a problem, lol.

Maybe you just don't remember?? :)

I used to look like you in the second photo, but two years ago I started training boxing and I lost a lot of weight. I feel much better now because I'm much more fit and I don't feel so heavy.

dude i hope youve WASHED that shirt in the last three years
:Graucho

Hehe, you have the exact same facial expression.

Some things never change. :glugglug

Wow, your computer chair shrunk while you bulked up but your computer speakers are HUGE now. :1orglaugh

Nice job, so for the past year or so, you only worked out every 6 days?

I'm looking forward to working out, but my diet is really poor, meaning, I don't eat alot. It's seriously hard for me to gain weight, and I usually lose a pound or two every 3 weeks or so.

Great Job!!! You look damn good!!! hmm hmm hmm :thumbsup

Oh and great pics!!!

good stuff dude...i have been letting myself slip


im now down to like 185 or so....it just fades away if you dont keep it up

strange how people grow in size when they grow up :thumbsup

i'd hit it?

haha, great to see how you moved from such old crap to hot new computers & stuff around you. That's the way to go !

:thumbsup fully right, a real cute guy, and plz. stay clean :)

Thats a excuse, my brother has a wife kids and gets up at 5am five days a week to train for a hour before starting his day. If its important you make time.

Congrats!

What is the secret??

Looks good!
I lift a little but i mainly kickbox and fence to maintain myself.

heh no no... i've worked out around 5 days a week for the past 3.2 years.

and yeah, my diet was horrible for the first year n' a half... all i ate was junk food... but, i tried hard as fuck in the gym so i still made improvements.

ahh.. i'm actually 184 now... i'm 6'0... i made the horrible mistake almost all amateurs do and neglect leg workouts too much, so most of my weight is up top.. but for the past half year i've been tryin to hit legs hard... its real hard though getting into the groove when you're lacking in one area so much

but, as i've hit squats real hard the rest of my body has grown in terms of strength and size.

nice pics!
