Is my progress ok for 3.5 months? (nsfw pics)

Its hard to tell exactly because of the different camera position in each shot but you definitely look a lot fatter in the second pic (also more muscular).

With so much weight gain in 3.5 months at best it was probably 50/50 muscle/fat but you got a lot stronger so you definitely will have put on muscle.

Also are you like 5ft or something? I struggle to comprehend how you can have so much fat in the second pick (I don't mean to be rude- but you look quite "soft") yet only weigh 62.5kg...

Imo you are eating more than your body can deal with in terms of muscle growth so you are adding unecessary fat. Cut back a bit and remember that getting a great body will entail several years of alternating between cutting fat and building muscle so you will have to be in this for the long haul :smile:.

Deadlifts and rows hit them to a certain extent. Some people rave about deadlifts for trap development, but I've never really noticed any benefit trap wise. Add in some form of shrugs if you don't already do them. If you do shrug already, something obviously isn't quite right and needs changing to hit your traps harder/better.

Does your gym have a shrug machine? I swear by it.

Also, shrug with straps.


I do a lot of deadlifts.

I haven't seen a dedicated shrug machine, but I'll use my brain to see if I can figure something out, or even try with the Smith machine

What's my job? I'm not sure if you mean that literally or if you mean something else by that since its a really random question- so I'll answer literally- I don't have a job, I'm a 2nd year mathematics student at university :biggrin:.

Why on earth do you ask?

Just a question, my bulk period ends in two weeks, is it worth changing anything majorly before then?

eat less, track weight, if you lose weight, jobs a good 'un, if you don't eat a little less next week. Unless you're going down to 8%bf from say 12%, there is no reason to count calories meticulously.

Ok cool :smile:
Strong body hair

I would say you're overeating atm, and youve put on fat as well as muscle so it depends whether youre going for strength or looks really.

Couldnt see past the carpet you are wearing.

Jokes aside, progress is progress, keep it up. Your not going to be an aesthetic God after 3,6 or 12 months of going gym from nothing.

It's strength above aesthetics for me. In a few years time it will be aesthetics.

At 5ft 2, that would be a koala bear, yes? :colone: I joke!

I don't know if anybody can answer that other than you, everybody is different and weight gain/loss varies quite a lot from person to person.
