Magnus Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 One of my favorite ways to gauge my progress is by comparing the way shirts used to fit me to the way they fit now. These are some progress pics taken about a year apart, in the exact same shirts, not shrunken or anything (of coarse ) Blue shirt before: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=7835 After: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=7836 http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=7837 http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=7838 ARMY shirt before: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=7839 http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=7840 After: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=7841 BW went from a low of 152lb then to 225lb now.

The Natural Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'd post some similar pictures but all of my T-shirts are obscene and I own only T-shirts. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPGoodfellow Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 From 16 to 17, I gained 45lbs and grew 2" in height and it was a massive change for me. Tossing on 70lbs of quality BW in one year is UBBER IMPRESSIVE. I love hard work and dedication. You've got a long road of training and growing ahead of you. Stay healthy and stay strong, bro!

Elfer Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 This is an absolutely preposterous level of progress for a single year. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyj75 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Whoa!!! 70lbs??? That's like having a midget hanging off you all day!! :blink Nice work! I had a similar experience in that I went from 180 to 245 in about a year and a half. Since I got married, my wife and in-laws just love to shove food down my throat! And to think, I have been lifting for around 8 years, and all I had to do to put on 65lbs of muscle was eat massive amounts of food. DOH! :D What is your goal weight? I wanna get around 280, and be somewhat lean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
