Well, I took some pictures so I could measure progress along the way.
All I have to say is once you post pictures of your self contest lean, everything else just looks fat. Honestly, I feel like I gained no muscle at all looking at these pictures. I was careful and gained it slow, but all I see is maybe a teeny bit of increased arm size and leg size. And fat.
