Pictures are too small.

[-Superman-]

I see no progress honestly.

:thumbup:

[Jordanbcool]

I see some progress.

Don't take monthly pics. Take them at the start and end of bulks/cuts so you can see much more dramatic change.

[deeder]

You look WAY bigger in the second set of pics!

But that could just be because you are standing closer to the camera :p

It's hard to notice much of a difference unless you've gained or lost a fair amount of weight...

[BFGUITAR]

I wouldnt say he looks way bigger....

Monthly pics arent worth it... maybe for a cut but not for a bulk.

[Guido]

3-6 month progress pics are the way to go, or even yearly.

[Ramstein85]

heheh i know there isnt much progress for a month ill repost in 3 months time !!!! i am 11lbs heavier in the second sets of pics but at 6'2 its not enough to make a diff. In the meantime ill keep on lifting !

[Outshine]

I think 1 month progress pics are good for your own use, not so much for critiques on a forum.

[Ramstein85]

Just thought id post the links for the larger photo sizes maybe ull see a small diff.

the chest picture is hard to see but nice improvements on the back, nice V taper going.

[Ramstein85]

Thanks :) my shoulders/lats have improved the most. Ive gone wider but not that much thicker. My damn erector spinae's are not growing as quick. Ill just keep at the deadlifting/good mornings for those i guess...

[Herandi]

definitely looker bigger in the new set of pics, back especially. nice work

[Ramstein85]

Hard to see results in a month, keep at it.

[Ramstein85]

9 Months Since Joining the Gym:

I weigh 87 kg, compare to the pics above and tell me if there is a noticable difference or have not been consuming enough food!

[ProLogic]

[Ramstein85]

can you see any progress or not man, why you sending that pic? this thread is to see if my hard work paid off somehow.

[shazoo123]

i do see lots of progress. your frame has really filled out.

[Ramstein85]

Thanks :)

[mrelwooddowd]

wtf..?

http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff55/ramstein85/?action=view&current=29122007.jpg


Sorry. That was funny.

You seem to be bigger. It's hard to provide specifics because the pictures are taken closer up and are bigger, and they're taken under different conditions.

[WBBIRL]

We'll I'll say that you don't see a lot bigger but it is noticeable.

You do understand that the natural unassisted lifter only gains about a pound of muscle per week, maybe two if you have great genetics.

You simply don't gain 5 pounds a week and have it all be muscle, you just don't. So if you spend 9 months (which is 32 weeks) and do everything correctly, including upping your calories on a monthly basis to sustain the new mass, then your going to gain about 30 pounds. Obviously you didn't gain 32 pounds of muscle, I'd suspect you didn't even gain half of that.

So you probably haven't been eating enough, or training hard enough or both. But you are progressing, just slowly

[mrelwooddowd]

wtf..?

http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff55/ramstein85/?action=view&current=29122007.jpg



You know...I kept thinking about this pic for some reason. Then, it dawned on me. Every single ****ing school shooter since Columbine has had one of these pics end up on the news after they commit their unspeakable act.

Think about that ****...

[mrelwooddowd]

Anyway...you don't seem to have put on much fat. You have gained some size. I checked out a few of the other poses on your photobucket, and they're actually better pictures in some ways. I'd say you're definitely showing some real progress. Good work.

[Ramstein85]

appreciate the comments guys thanks.

WBBIRL- i probably didnt eat enough as i am only 7kg heavier than when i started, i reached 12kg when i got to 92 but then i cut down the cals cause i was depositing fat and i could see it. so im doing a slow bulk anyways

[lecithin]

Definately making some good progress, youre definitely filling out your frame more. Your legs are built kinda similar to mine. Keep it up man!

[Ramstein85]

thx mate will do ;)

[hulkinout]

Where'd the photos go?
