Before and after pictures
I had always kept in reasonable shape for the majority of my life, until the summer of 2006 in which I started a long string of injuries that seemed to build on one another. From the time I was 17 up until a month before my 21st birthday, I hovered between 220 and 230 pounds. At the end of my injury streak, when I was finally completely healed, I was 215 pounds, weak, and had a higher bodyfat percentage than I ever have.
As these before pictures will show, I had developed a “belly” and my sides were starting to grow. My physique was weak and I was well on my way to being a chubby tall guy… I knew I had to change. Starting in late December 2007, at the earlier mentioned 215 pounds, I started lifting weights and eating properly. My bodyfat diminished and I started to get bigger.
My newfound confidence and developing physique gave me the motivation I needed to push myself even further. By June 2008, I was up to 240 pounds, and I was leaner than when I started. By December 2008, just short of a year after I started, I was up to 265 pounds. The last progress pictures I took were when I weighed 257 pounds but the difference was negligible in the mirror so I didn’t bother to take new pictures.
The first three pictures are before I started lifting weights (215 pounds), the 4th picture is June 2008 (240 pounds), and the last two pictures are in December 2008 (257 pounds).
I emphasize that this was accomplished entirely without the use of steroids and was accomplished entirely through extremely consistent workouts and proper diet.
