In the before pics I was 240, the middle pics 215 (6 months progress), and now i'm 210. I haven't really been serious about diet. But here is what I got from working out for a year with no set nutrition other than at least 100 grams of protein a day. I'm 6'0" tall.

Strong work, awesome transformation.
You can, and need to find a ground that you know you are suppose to stand on.. hence, stand your ground, this is the place where you know everything is as it should be for you. If you stand in a place where you know in your heart things are wrong, most things around you will never be right.
Rule number one, never work at being what another man defines as being "honorable", Honorable is is being true to what you know and and doing what you know is right for you..

Effective Photography 101
Very good progress!Originally posted by tommy91z
Front Double Bicep, now...

However, to really make the most of your picture taking, put the primary light source in front of you, not behind you.
As a general rule of thumb, you should always position the camera between yourself and the primary light source.
You ----> <---- camera <---- light source
You'll often see guys post pictures with the light souce behind them. The subject of the picture may "think" he looks good, so he decides to take the picture that way. However since the light has to bounce off the subject and strike the camera in order for an image to form, the camera has an excellent picture of all the junk in the background (like the wall behind you) but not of the subject. Here are some examples (my apologies in advance to those bb.com members who I'm using as examples):

However, you might get the camera placement right and still mess things up. You could suffer from the dreaded "$3.99 Webcam in a dark closet and a handheld flashlight" syndrome.

Or you might be just dark (like I am) and forget that you need "extra" lighting:

All of these guys have improved their photography techniques and take much better pictures now.
So remember...

You see light.
Hope this helps.

Nice Work Man!!!
The 100 grams of protein you consumed per day where did it come from??
Was it from supplements or from regular food you ate??
What types of food did you typicaly eat in a week??

I'll try to get some better pics I just took them like that because thats where I took the first set and I wanted to keep it consistent. I take usually one shake a day or 2 if I work out. I take about 40g protein and 75g of carbs (Dextrose and maltodextrin) post workout. I noticed much better results when I started eating more real food than shakes. Right now I usually get about 100 to 150g of protein a day from whole food like chicken breast, tuna (yuck but its cheap) , and cottage cheese. I'm 22 now.

Good job! Much better lighting! Yeah, outside is better, or during the day in a room with windows. But that last one wasn't bad.Originally posted by tommy91z

Very big shoulders. Do you do mostly barbell or dumbbell work when you train shoulders? I'm mostly a dumbbell guy.

Wow! That's a well developed gastrocnemius. It could be the lighting, but it looks like you have some striations on the separation between the gastroc and the soleus:Originally posted by tommy91z

I would say (by your upper body definition) that your bf% around 18% or so.

Yeah my calf is pretty striated. When I work them out (only like once a month now) they get crazy pumped and full of veins. I stopped training them because most people think they look gross. They used to be around 18" pumped but now they're around 17". I also have some slight striations in my right quad it dosen't show up in pics though.

I always felt my shoulders were the weakest part of my body. I usually rotate my shoulder workouts. First week standing military press, next week seated dumbells, then clean and jerks, then I take a week off on anterior delts. I usually do some some upright rows and lateral raises too. I've been trying to bring out my posterior delts too I work them on back day. I've been having much better luck with this routine than when i used to train with dumbells for 4-6 weeks then switch to barbell for 4-6 weeks ect. . .
