how it all started.

This was March of 2010- at Coit Tower in SF

I was in good shape since I've been consistently exercising and eating healthy...

this is May of  same year during a photography class from SFAI. I had gained about 20lbs in 2 month.

well, actually in a month.

05.13.10- I was at well over 235lbs... weight was getting out of control. 

I came back home from SF, CA... 07.19.10

in two month, I had dropped quite a few body fat but still was weak slob... 

I started P90X this day.

@216lbs

21 days since I started P90X. 08.08.10

I struggled benching 185 here...

@203lbs

08.18.11 on top of Twin Peaks in SF. 

09.30.11 about a year later from image above. I had gained a lot more shape and gained much strength

weighing @184 

Today: 

07.11.12 another year had passed from image above. So it's been 2years of journey to get in shape.

 @200 lbs

07.09.12 after finishing 4days of CEO:Dead Lift 

weight @205lbs

when compared to 08.08.10 image my back has definitely gotten bigger and thicker.

however, my body weight is about the same- which means, I had dropped body fat and gained muscle

I wasn't able to see how much I have developed over the time but seeing these images side by side helps a lot. Honestly, I can't really tell how much better I look now than I did before... I definitely looked best last year. This entire year was focused on building strength and learning different movement and mastering them.

I gained so much strength. But better yet, so much knowledge on how to exercise- 

overall idea of what I really want and how I want to be.

Like I mentioned from previous post- I'll try hard to lose unnecessary body fat and drop some weight to get better figure. I'll train as hard or harder to build strength. But, I do need to get my body smaller a bit.

Compared to some other people who transform their body in such a short time... I feel like, my body is lagging so much development. I know I have to remember and remind myself that everyone's body is different and everyone reacts differently. Right now, I have found the diet that works for me and exercises that help me. Therefore, all I'll be seeing from now on is good gains and better development!

EAT CLEAN, TRAIN DIRTY and LOVE LIFE!!
