hey folks, I've been around this forum for about a month now, and i started to take some pictures for about three weeks of going to the gym, about 3 days a week, i just want to know if you guys see any progress, i cant really tell, and dont really expect too much because i didn't really go to the gym as much as i would like to. so here it goes, i would love to see what you all have to say

This is before i started working out,





this is after about 2 weeks"





[/B]
and this is after about the third week, havnt really been to the gym as much as the first 2 weeks because its finally nice enough to play soccer, so most of my exercise has been from that.[/B]






IF there is an improvement anywhere i think its my face, but again i cant really tell, sometimes i look thinner then others.

BEFORE:


AFTER:


there ya go guys and gals, give me your thoughts, advice, criticism, anything you got

face looks a bit thiner, so does the stomach.

maybe a little in the face ...but that could be the camera angle.


tell u the truth 3 weeks is not really long enough to see any noticable gains.

keep working hard and post pics again in 3 months.

whats you`re diet and routine like???

What have you been doing in weight training these past 3 weeks? Sets, reps, and exercises?

And, what are your personal goals?

What has your diet been like?

I see some progress, keep worken hard, and be consistent in your training and dieting.

You train at home or a gym?

Have a great day, young man!


Best wishes,

the abdominal area is definetly smaller, looks like you lost some weight/fat, good job!Hit the weights hard, so you'll get some muscle tone to your body

thanks guys, i guess ill post some pix in a month or so.

i don't really have a routine, but what i usually do is
warm-up with 10 min run
bench 3 sets, 10 reps
squat 4 sets 15 reps
curl from 10 reps, down to 8 to 5 to 3, and on the last three i stop halfway down and count to five, then lower it.
and i also do this thing with my friend where we take the bar from the bench press, and put 5 lbs on it and take turns curling it from 1-10 reps and then back down from 10-1.
i try to do a few new thing there every time i go.
End with a 10 min run.
my goals i guess are just to lose some fat and get some definition.
and its warm enough now to play soccer so I'm gonna be doing that almost daily for about 2 hrs and i think thats gonna be a major part of my cardio.

and i dont really count caloried because i dont gain weight anymore, so i just figured that i was burning about as much as i was taking in, so i just cut out soda, and a few sweets.

It's good that you're doing some kind of weight training, you need to work on your lifting routine.
I can see there is no back and shoulder work.
Add some deadlifts, military press, pull-ups (or assisted pull-ups if you cannot to them), barbell rows i.e big compound exercises.
There is no need to do so many curls.

ohh i forgot to put in lateral pull down, thats back right?, and i cant find an answer on how to properly deadlift, I've heard different things so i just kinda gave up on it.

I just started deadlifting too, I also don't know the correct form, I did a lot of reading on how to do it, so I'm practicing with light weight, there are few good videos on youtube which teach correct form. Record yourself doing deadlifts and post the video here, there are a lot of guys who have mastered the deadlift and can help, I'm planning on doing that in a few days. It's a very important exercise.

Also it's not lateral pull down, It's Lat pull down (Lat as in Latissimus Dorsi, the muscles on the sides of your back)

ohh haha, i wonder how my gym reacher is allowed to teach... all year shes been saying lateral pull down. thanks
