Hey guys, about time that I post my progress pictures. The first 2 pics are about from a year and a half ago. I didn't start working out seriously until about 6 months ago and the newer ones were just taken today.

Yes I did, I grew a good 3-4 inches if I guess correctly. Thanks for the encouraging words! Also, I just posted my stats in my bodyspace.

Thanks guys!
I seem to skip workouts and just move my schedule a day or two up A LOT. It seems to have been working though. I eat around 220-300 grams of protein everyday, I think that makes up for skipping workouts.

Whats your bicep routine?

Yeah those long arms really help for basketball, which is how I got that gash on my elbow. My bicep routine has always been short and simple...pullups and HEAVY preacher curls. My big 3 are the following-Originally Posted by Pairunoyd
Bench-250
Deadlift-355
Squat-245
Thanks once again for all the positive comments!

I love the chimp photo...
My lifts prior to this were:
140-Bench
110-Squat
170?-Deadlift
Reason why my bench was so high compared to my other lifts was because I had benched a little for freshman football at the time. I quit football pretty early on and now I am in the middle of sophomore year.

You guys are going to think this is absolutely ridiculous, but somehow I got the entire idea of Rippetoes confused. I somehow ended up doing the following:
Workout A:
Bench Press 3x5
Skull Crushers 3x5
Weighted Crunches 3x15
Workout B:
Deadlift 3x5
Preacher Curls 3x5
Pullups 3x10
Workout C:
Squat 3x5
Military Press 3x5
Weighted Crunches 3x15
And with that workout, I did that the past 6 months and that is where I made the VAST majority of my progress. Around 6 months ago I looked very similar to how I did in those old photos, I was just slightly bigger all around. Did I just get blessed with good genetics, or do you guys think this routine could of actually worked for me? (The workouts were always intense due to using very heavy weights and always struggling on every rep.)
