"Joe,

You look great, especially in that picture on the far right."

I think that was directed towards me. I wanted to let you know my name is Tom

I should clarify with a picture of what my goal is because I dont always paint the picture that I see in my head, with words that will paint the same picture in other peoples heads. The bigger guys that you see in mens fitness is ideal to me. They look like the guys that have been doing p90x with the goal of building size for at least two or three rounds. One of the guys in the p90x videos, a black guy, is totally the ideal size that Im looking to gain. Unfortunately I cant find a picture of him online but here is a picture that is a fair representation of my goal none the less.

" can definitely see a difference in his physique, but I think his best bet would have been to do the exact same poses in the "before & afters". Still, I don't see how you don't see "alot of difference" (he isn't on 'roids as far as I know ) ...For 3 months time, those are decent results....I also wonder how much of a measurable strength increase he had. "

I have camera problems, currently the flash on the camera I was using is dead so I cant take any good pictures period. The side stretch pose I did at day thirty and again at day ninety. Those are my favorite comparison pictures.

As far as measurable strength, before I started I could do 30 standard pushups. 90 days later I did 41. I barely did 12 decline push ups before, now im doing 35! At first when I did a shoulders and arms routine, my first set I would curl 20 pounds and the last set I was worn down to curling only 8 pounds. Now im starting at 25 pounds and doing my last set at 20 pounds. Muscle endurance has improved tremendously. The first time I did AB ripper X I could correctly do only 2 out of the 11 exercises, now I can do all but one. In yoga X I couldnt do any of the twisting balance poses, now I can do all but one and that is coming shortly. Those are just some examples. I write everything down, if I were to list all my improvements I could probably write a book..LoL

I finally got a picture comparison of the same pose from before p90x and after. Its been a couple months now since I graduated the program, I just took this one this morning and put it together with my before photo. I'm a happy guy.

Thanks! My energy levels are way up. But I still have to eat the right kind of foods before intenstly working out or it will be more difficult to workout. That hasnt changed.
