The photo on the right you are closer to the camera, so it has the optical illusion of having you look bigger. I can't tell from the pics that you look much different. Can anyone else see a difference if they pay attention that the after pic is taken closer? Sorry, I am not trying to damper your enthusiasm. If you say you are getting stronger then that is that. But I don't see from the pics and I have good vision that there is clearly so much more mass now. Ronnie Rowland posted about people getting stronger without necessarily getting bigger. I wonder if that is what happened. If you are happy that is good. I am not trying to rain on the parade. My first cycle I just gained water and some strength, but not much mass if any like it seems in your pics. I am just trying to sort it out and become more knowledgeable. And I wanted to be honest with what I see.

I'm nearly standing in the exact same spot with the exact same prop for the camera timer. I'm not a photographer, I just set the timer flex and get the shot. No damage taken though, opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.

I was 202 at start, I am now knocking on 218 gained almost a inch on my arms, quads, everything is bigger. Hate to hear that you had no size gain on your cycle, I think maybe you should turn to your diet to better achieve gains next go round.


On another note, I did what d7m suggested and it worked like a charm. Delts might be my new spot. I really liked quads until I hit a nerve in them damn that crap burns.

I see a big difference! Mostly in water retnetion though of course. But what else u gonna expect from just 4 weeks of dbol as a kickstart? Muscle tissue already? Keep it up bro!

You can see in the double bi pose that he has much fuller arms his upper chest is more full as well. the problem is the angles are not exactly the same making it look like there are little gains. You can tell he gained weight throughout.
