lol man that's just bloat from carbs + water retention. the caffeine + some fiber will have you looking and feeling better. what did you eat though??

massive sodium too. im curious as to what you ate as well

Apart from that I wore/wear larger sized shirts.

Basically everything in sight. One of those days where your hungry all day and eat first and then ask questions last.

My cheat days arent even that bad...I ate mostly healthy stuff just in massive quantities...a ton of oatmeal, couscous, grapes, cherries, whole grain bread + honey (so under-rated

), etc. Only bad thing I ate was chocolate and it was my first time eating chocolate in over a month. I'm surprised my body absorbed so much water + carbs...I went from waking up yesterday at 163 at around 10% BF with veins popping from my arms and stomach to waking up today at 172 pounds with a pot belly, man boobs, and a bloated face like an NFL offensive lineman. On the bright side it'll keep me on track for a while and I did a full body workout today so I should gain a tiny bit of muscle.

I was trying too hard though.

 That was the point. 
Snatch was snatch. 

My favorite was takin a shower right as out house parties got started. Come out, chicks are there...catch the one that's lookin extra hard and go for her after that. Worked enough to make it worthwhile in exchanged for being perceived as a douche by some. My boys knew the game though. 

 

 

[joe camel smooth]

that sounds really dramatic i've eaten way worse and never saw that big of a change in my appearance in one day......probably like club said a ton of sodium and carbs/sugar from the fruit leading to a lot of water retention, bloating, muscle fullness from glycogen, etc. all making you look puffy as hell.
 
as for the whole shirt off thing....at my own place it's whatever i'll have my shirt if i don't feel like wearing one. i've had plenty of girls come over and see me shirtless...but i def don't plan it out and if i know a girl is coming i more often than not throw on some clothes.

[Renaldo Balkman]

It was almost all done at our house though. I think that makes it a little better. 

It's no different then what the chicks do. Going out damn near naked even in the dead of winter. 

Still doesn't beat running through the dorm butt naked with my friend (no ++**, for real) freshman year after getting extremely blasted one night on a dare.

I got a small standard weight bench and so far i've been repping all the weights I have which is 155lb, my max bench is 180 from 115 almost a year ago.

What are some recommendations? As you can tell I was very overweight, I have love handles which I need to get rid and need to do some serious chest and stomach excercises. Cheytow is an inspiration to me, I hope to repost my progress pictures 5 months from now.

I know these pictures are nothing but oh well.

August: 14 y/o 226lb

Now: 15 y/o 6'1" 196lb

Update:

Just turned 16 and started wrestling for my high school.  Made it on the vasirty team going 4-0!

6'1" 182lbs

  

Took a shot of my back.  Need to improve lats and traps for sure

was this article ever posted in our thread? between our lil carb debate and reading this.......i think im gonna get rid of vitargo....

 

[brettthejett]

Real talk I need help.

My chest isn't growing. What so ever. It gets "swole" after a good workout but the next day I can feel ribs again.
The rest of my body is progressing incredibly... completely satisfied with my strength gains and muscle gains.... but not my chest.

Could I just incorporate chest exercises in the 8-10 rep range 5 days a week? That's over training...
I don't know what to do. I've been working my !@% off... reading everything... nutrition and calories on point. Sticking to a strength gain program and the whole works.

someone help me
