8 months, from beginning to now PICTURES

[Johnny Bravo]

Okay. Well its been 8 long months guys. Like damn. I feel just as small as the day I started. I'm fucking strong as fuck though, things feel so much lighter that used to be heavy. People recently started asking me if I do steroids, which I'm happy to say nope, no supplements other than protein shakes.

Anyways, from the beginning....

Here was when I started.











After one month













AND NOW!

I like how your phone turned into an iphone 4

[Sloth]

wow, hugely impressive, you could kick your old ass

[victor]

holy fucking shit. i used to look like that in the old picture last year, then i lifted, broke my arm, and it turned into nothing. I'm taking creatine, how much you weigh and any other supplements you take?

[victor]

scratch that comment above...about the other supplements.. just read that you took protein shakes..

[Johnny Bravo]

Yep, muscle milk mainly.

[Traxx]

what were the exercises you did? just basic lifts or did you have some unique ones?

[Johnny Bravo]

I make up some exercises, I've made about 5-8 with my buddy and I. But most the time I just combine bulk and strength exercises to get a good overall look. Big, but lean.

[Shampoo]

What was your diet? Or did you eat normally.

[Slick]

holy fucking shit man. congrats. thats amazing. how long each day did you work out?

[Johnny Bravo]

My diet is very important to me.

Here is what I've had today from beginning to end.

8 am - Two scoops of Amp XXX mass from GNC (just got it first day taking it. 500 calories, 25 g of protein)
9 am - Slice of pizza (normally a peanut butter and jelly, with extra peanut butter) muscle milk. Total of 700 calories, with 30 g of protein.
10 am - Bag of peanuts (100 calories, and 10 g of protein)
11 am - Taco with a lot of grilled chicken, and extra cheese - About 500-1000 calories, with about 30 g of protein (made it home made, so idk). School lunch with mash potatoes, chicken balls, and corn. Fruit cup. Yogart. About a total of 2000 calories. who knows how much protein. Lets say... 50.

Skip to dinner at 7 pm. (worked out from 4 to 6:30)

Five peices of tri-tip. Two helpings of noodles with cream of chicken. Green beans, and a biscuit with jelly.

About 50 g of protein and about 1200 calories.

Then a muscle milk around 9. And a protein shake of Amp XXX mass before bed.

Diet is important.

3500 calories a day minimum.

Today I've gotten...

4500 calories
220 g of protein.

nice results man! hit me up sometime so we can talk about it sometime instead of these huge questions.

[canadiankid]

Would you mind posting or sending me a pm with your normal workout template/split? Your results are awesome and I'm tired of seeing all this bullshit on bodybuilding.com etc and trying to find the legit stuff.
Thanks bro

[slyman]

good work man. just gotta work on that back now! haha.

Now that you've established a solid look, I would suggest (partly because I find it much more fun that "body building") real "strength training." what's the difference b/w body building and strength training (or big vs. strong)? Train movements in strength training, train body parts in body building. Deadlift, Squat, Clean, Push Press, Bench press, Snatch, tons of leg and back work, and GRIP STREGNTH. It really builds your confidence also, because you don't just look good, you can fucking wreck anybody in the world.

and no, I don't know that your already doing that...I'm sure you have incorporated at least some true strength training into your workouts from the results.

and great work ethic, looks like you really love the gym man. i was pumped when I finally first starting seeing results spring of my freshman year, and have been hooked ever since.

[zegoni]

NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! That's awesome!
I wanna go to the gym now lol

Just a thing: Work on your back a little more
