FINALLY uploaded my progress pics. Yay! You can check em out.
There are 8 sets of pics up there now, seemingly conveying 7 weeks worth of training. I’ll be honest that from an aesthetic perspective, I’m not quite as far along as I’d expected to be? But I’m not thinking these photos are showcasing everything that’s been going on…
Damn – wish I had that first pic 3-4 weeks before I started 
Now that’d be a HUGE difference Sweet.
UPDATE: I was just thinking about the ‘lack of difference’ between my first shot and my last. Yeah – it’s been 7 weeks. And it’s been a process of muscle gain. For the majority of people who five into transformations, it’s about them getting ripped. It’s about removing the fat surrounding the muscle they already have.
For me, I’ve never had a whole lot of muscle to be honest. Realistically, I’ve been rather pathetic! Poor little nerd… and I knew that going into this process. My goal was to support my weight – and gain weight. Fat loss would be a positive side effect, but not a key goal.
If I wanted to see a huge change – I should’ve focussed on fat loss. But the net result would’ve been something I’d've been unhappy with. I wouldn’t have been satisfied with a scrawny body. I’ve got to build my foundation and then rip down the supports (the fat) that held that foundation in place. That’s coming – but I wouldn’t expect it till next year.
So in summary (LOL) – a great weekly achievement, is the creation of 1lb of muscle. 1lb of muscle spread across my body has minimal impact. Absolutely tiny impact. So visually, very hard to see. However, when I start getting shredded – that’s when all the hard work will start to be showcased.
