alright. today is a rest day. but here's a bit of a progress report.

lately my pants have been fitting a little tighter than i want them to, so i've been trying carb cycling for the past week. so far it's a lot easier than i thought it'd be. i eat carbs everyday, but on rest days, like today, i limit them to green veggies and sweet potatoes except for oatmeal at breakfast.
so far i'm liking it!

today i put a shirt on that i haven't worn in over a week. the sleeves felt noticeably tighter around my bis/tris

today i was changing out the water cooler jug at work, and that jug today felt lighter to me than it's ever felt before. all those deads and rack pulls are payin' off.

also tonight i'm taking update pictures - it's been 8 weeks since i started my bulk. i'm looking forward to comparing the before and now pics.

Right. From now on, any attempts to take the good name of goob in jest, will be met by a swift posting of this picture:

Later,
hah, i wish i was through with the test. it's next saturday. and i have been working out, fyi, just been too busy to post. i've got an phone interview this week, the gmat next weekend, and another phone interview the week after


ahem. now that goob has had his revenge on me and posted the picture AGAIN (cookie monster and gonzo) though i did nothing to cause second reprisal, i trust he feels his retribution is done. are we cool, goob?

i hope i'm not making a mistake by posting these update pictures. anyway... this is nine weeks into my bulk. i'm seeing more muscle definition in the pictures but i feel bigger than i think i look in the pictures, if that makes any sense. from the first picture you can probably tell i'm a lefty since my right pec isn't as developed as my left one.














never done a bulk before so, not really sure if i'm making good progress or not. i like the difference i'm seeing and i'm feeling a lot stronger.

here's the 'before' back picture:



and the 'now' picture with a little bit of lighting adjustments:



i can really see tell a difference in the before and now picture with the back picture, but not so much with the others for some reason...
i'll post my w/o's later when i get some more time.

thanks everyone! it's nice to be able to post pictures without people thinking 'pssh, showoff'. i can't get away with posting 'em on facebook

that's what i love about this site. everyone (almost everyone) is here for the same thing: self improvement. and it sure is nice to see results after 2 months of hard work! and getting kudos from you all makes it even better!

wow! 112 pounds?? how much are you up to now and how long has it taken? have you been constantly bulking this whole time or have you been throwing in some cuts to keep your body guessing?

Well right now im about 170-175 but i got myself upto 190-195 before i injured myself and had to lay off, lol. So close to my goal of 200 :P.

My goals have varied from program to program, sometimes strength, sometimes conditioning, sometimes hypertrophy. I've just focused on making tough programs and eating right (and a lot - 4000+ calories over 8 meals a day at one stage).

Started training around about age 16 so around 5 years now i guess, lol. I really cant remember too well. I made most of my progress in the last 2 or 3 years thanks to IM though

Wanna see a before picture? Its horrible.

Yeah, we are even. The gonzo pic was more of an afterthought than a second attack. It was a bit of an overkill. Like launching a nuclear attack after having my foot trod on.....

BTW,looking awesome dude, truely excellent work, you look more muscular than me, no joke. Also, perfect shape for the chicks on the beach.....

Excellent work.

wow, so you've gotten up to the 190's, huh? i guess it IS possible for me to put on some muscle then! if you were as light as 112, then you can't be 6ft, right?
