I started around 6% body fat at 145 or so and now I am 175 or so at about 8-9% body fat. Before and afters, please critique.

Good progress, definitely noticeable in your arms and shoulders.

was about to say the same thing as jheft.

your traps/shoulders/arms have some noticeable gains.  keep going, you need more meat on you before you start a cut... and you're only at 9% bodyfat so keep going. 

My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.

so you gained 30 lbs in just over 2 months??  where did all this weight go?? b/c i don't see 30 lbs on your upper body.  are your legs growing???

Haha I have no idea. My legs are slightly bigger but I really don't know where it all went. I don't really look more than 10-15 pounds more than I did at 145 but most people thought I looked 155-160 in person at 145. The pictures do not do justice at all. Thighs have grown 3 inches and calves, almost 1.5. Could that help explain it? I really don't know though. I agree, it's odd. I gained the weight back quickly because I had been lifting for 3 years and then took a 4 month break for wrestling every year and when I come back, it comes back really quick and then slows down to a normal rate. Love those first few months of huge gains

Posing a little better would also probably help with future comparison pictures. Keep up the good work.

Yeah I know I should get into looking at posing better but I can't anytime soon. Been studying non stop for AP exams and ACT and SAT and SAT II's and Finals and... getting college recs... you get the point... hahaha

And I know that they're bad because my back has definitely grown a large large amount and this barely shows any progress...

You could work abit on your pose,Hard to tell from these pica,But looks OK.

30 pounds!!! Where is it, lol. Must be on the legs. You cannot tell from the pick. I would def. have to see the scale, JK. But, keep it up, looking good.

Haha I know I know. I definitely look bigger, MUCH bigger in person but the pics do not show it. My back has grown immensely yet looks only a tad tad bit better in the pictures. And as for my legs, they've grown 3+ inches and I just had to buy a new suit for my junior class banquet. =O sorry mom and dad


and as for the weight gain. before i was very cut because i did mainly isolation exercises. muscles stuck out as being worked more than others. now i've got a smoother look so it's hard to see but i'm actually a ton  bigger. everyone notices... my wrestling coach FLIPPED when he saw me. he thought i was 190... when i'm hovering around 172-175. Pictures do not do me justice when I suck at posing =P
