Are you getting stronger within that 7 seven months?

5 to 6 meals? How many calories?

Stronger is in some areas, but constant in others like I curled 40's when I started and I still curl 40's except I can do 2 more reps

I really don't count calories, I am not sure how to actually. I eat mostly protein all day and have whole wheat bread slice once for carbs and a spoon of flaxseeds for fat once every day.

If you are new to weightlifting, you should have much more progress than that. If not, then I think you should evaluate your workout program and your diet and see what areas, you could work on.

Use good form when you lift and good luck with your endeavors.

There is definately improvement, but honestly, you should be seeing a lot more over that time frame.

You should really be counting calories and be sticking to a solid routine.

Here's a good place to start:

Not 7 months worth of progress there man. Re-evaluate diet quickly or you are just wasting time. Don't get me wrong, there is some improvement but it could have been a lot more for that time frame.

Yes diet is key I just wish there was like a list of things to eat and not eat!
I am not even sure if I should bulk or cut? So I do none of those

152lbs and 5'7"

Good carbs and bad carbs is what you need to know about. I recently learned about this from a thread I posted and got alot of help from a guy on. Obviously everyone is gonna say bulk up but as its pretty much summer already, and that not what alot of people wanna do. If I were you I'd start a clean bulk for the summer. Counting your carbs and getting enough protein to start with.
Read this article it will help you tons

**iceman100** · 06-02-2009, 07:49 PM

Trolls ruining the guys thread!

Anyway, yeah not much progress! Diet is definitely the key and a new killer workout programme is in need i think!! Rippetoes worked for me, dunno if you want to try it!!

You need to ditch the 10-15 reps and up the weight and come down to 6-8 reps!!

**pooshda** · 06-02-2009, 08:05 PM

I would expect to see a significantly more noticeable difference in that time frame, but there are so many factors from diet to just how hard you are pushing yourself and how dedicated you are. Are you getting a lot or protein in your diet, you say you don't really keep track of calories, do you know if you are eating a lot of protein rich foods...It may just be more difficult to see the progress because of your body fat though, you do look wider in the after photo but it also appears that you are holding your arms out further from your sides or posing just slightly differently.

If you really are working out as frequently as you say (are you giving your muscles ample rest/recovery time? that is a huge factor as well... you could hit the weights all day every day and get nowhere if you never give your muscles a chance to rebuild themselves...) and are eating well, I think in that amount of time there should be more noticeable progress but like stated, there are so many different factors that could be affecting your progress. Workout Intensity and Diet are definitely the big factors to focus on... I'm not huge, I'm no expert, but if you get both of those things in check you should make good progress over time for sure.

Keep at it though, just put everything you've got into it and you'll start seeing all that hard work and dedication paying off in time. The comparison shots do make me question just how dedicated you have been over those 7 months though and that is in no way intended to be a negative remark. Just keep at it and everytime you think you're pushing yourself hard, try to push yourself just a little bit harder but definitely don't overdo it.

I don't know what people are talking about. You look way better. Much less fat, plus you can tell everything has been brought up and and is tighter. Your posture also looks a lot better.

What do people expect after 7 months. He is not going to go from looking like he's never worked out to looking like a Pro.

**jf_15** · 06-02-2009, 09:32 PM

I see you gained half a trap in your after pic, well done!

**bloodcraze** · 06-02-2009, 09:37 PM

to be honest not really.

**Brewcrew09** · 06-02-2009, 09:38 PM

How long each day do you lift?

**jihwaan** · 06-02-2009, 10:35 PM

You can def. see a difference/ improvement.
I dont know much but i do know you could be seeing better results.
IMO you should change to high weight / low reps.

Aim for failure at rep 6-8. UP THE WEIGHT >> LIFT F*KEN HEAVY...cut down the carbs - eat 1-1.5grams protein per pound bodyweight and keep going. Keep upping the weight every two- three weeks..
then after a few months do a cut and see what lies underneath....

just a thought... GL !

**Icyhots** · 06-02-2009, 10:38 PM

I see improvement..althought it seems slow don't quit. Your hardwork is paying off and quitting now will only hinder your progress and your efforts. Keep at it

**yooka** · 06-03-2009, 08:40 AM

You can see bits of improvement your chest looks less fat.
