    Then & Now: Beginning to make progress on my journey (^^^up 18lb)

    21
    6'1"

    Here is a quick view of what kind of body type I am--
    ...beginning in July of 2011, growing a bit more into July of 2012, and roughly the same in October of 2012.
    --Before: The Before Picture.jpg

    These pictures come from anywhere between freshman year in college to October of last year.
    Skinny kid all through high school. Ate a lot. Blah blah, you know the drill.

    In all of the above pictures the most you would have found me weighing in at was 155lb.
    155lb is what I consider to be my "starting weight".

    I committed to making health/fitness part of my daily life at the beginning of November 2012.

    Currently,
    I am approaching the 5-month mark. I roughly followed Steve Cook's "Big Man On Campus: 12-week College Trainer".
    Added some of my own tweaks as I went. Got more consistent with diet as of the last 2 months.
    173lb today.

    Great progress!
    She approached with her hand extended,. I slowly stepped back. "No" she said. "I just want to shake your hand. You're amazingly gorgeous." As she walked by me she copped a biceps feel.

    Thank you! Haven't started tracking macros yet but I was eating right around 3,000 calories on training days. With school and other commitments there were plenty of days I ate less though.

    How are the legs coming along? I only say this because you look more around the 185 range looking at only your upper body for your height.

    You're not the first person to say that. Thanks a lot man, the more I do legs the more the weight will come up!

    I understand why you would ask. I have only taken a liking (aka realized the importance) to legs in the past month. I neglected it when starting out and now hate that I did! In the past month though I have had some great leg days and feel confident they will keep improving (and adding weight) over the next month. Thanks for the reply!
