B4 and after show pics

[HELLA SWOLE]

Ok guys, it has taken me some time to grow the balls to finally post pics on this specific forum because of the fact that everyone here seems to be at such a high level (WAYYYYY ahead of me). I really hope I can keep up with some of you guys some day soon, but I figured who better than to get some feedback from than some of the more experienced guys on the net. Here are some progression pics of me.

Pic #1 12 wks out pic 240ish lbs...keep in mind at this point I was 4 wks into my diet and still this fat!! I started out at 255 lbs...wayyy too heavy

Pic #2 Day of my first show (July 8th '06) Right before the night show. I weighed in that morning at 207 before carbing up, but I had been shitloading all day by the time this was taken.

Pic #3 Taken about a week ago sittin at 234lbs dry in the morning.

Any critiques are welcome, but I will be the first to say that i need A LOT more size to fill out my frame ( I am 6'1"), but that will come in time I guess since I am still a youngin LOL...I am 21 in these pics...I just recently turned 22.

LOL, I am almost embarrassed looking back at the first pic!! HAHA I guess that's what it's all about

You look great man, keep up the hard work it is obviously paying off.

 

[danilo recinos]

lookin great bro, keep up the great work!

 

[tflexxin]

great transformation dude!!! Keep training hard, the next thing you know you'll be back to that 240+ weight, but harder and bigger!

 

[HELLA SWOLE]

Thanks everybody for the kind words. You should see the real "before" pics of me at 255lbs...it was a pretty impressive transformation, but I just couldn't bring myself to post the awful pics LOL. And yea, I am pretty much already back up at the 240lb mark and fairly lean so things are going well. I couldn't have done it all without skip! He was great to work with.

Look great bro, how's the offseason coming?

What's up man? Thanks alot. Offseason is going well, but I have not hit "full blown" offseason mode just yet. My weight is going up VERY slowly at this point in time with increases in strength while trying to maintain bodyfat. I am leaner than the last pic shows...the lighting is awful there...I have visible abs. I will be taking things up a notch here in the next 6 weeks or so.
