So would I..
I've been looking around the forum for some before and after pics of people that have gone on the 5x5 program(s) just to see what sort of gains they've made.
I'm almost at the end of week 2, and would love to see what I can look forward to. To date, all of I've heard of is the greatness in words.
I understand there are many factors involved with 'gains' in general, but seeing how someone has turned (body shape, muscles developed) would be great.
Please feel free to post links (or attach) before/after pics in this thread.

Im having a hard time with the whole calorie thing in bulking. I just go and eat whenever im hungry. I dont balence out the C/P/F. I count how many calories im eating a day about once a month, and its usually around 3000. My metabalism rate is 1800 calories, so 3000 would make sence. Im just to lazy to count the calories and the fats,protien, and carbs. So I probably am packing on some fat. What weight does it look like im at out of curiosity?

As I say in my journal I'm 2 weeks into my 5x5, but 8 weeks now into my weight training.
My bench 5RM is now over 100lbs which is an achievement for me
Note: I'm doing the beginner's beginner 5x5, which is different to the one seen around here a lot (the intermediate one)Neglecting strength no more: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=1000362

puppetzz, comparing your two photos (now that I'm awake, and wasn't in autopilot to get down into the homegym) I see that your pecs have definitely grown.
Now I only wish I get deltoids like you. That's one of my goals
As you might see from the photos below, I haven't got much to write home about. (Excuse my poses. Still learning)
Both of these are befores.. I'll keep in mind to post an after later on down the trackNeglecting strength no more: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=1000362

Hi there all,
Yes I would like to see some 5 x 5 before and after photos, and some results from a 25+ person useing the program and the progress from day 1 to 180, in the weights that he went up in.
I can give you sme good photos of a HIT man's progress and progress in the weights that he went up in, if you would like them.
