Criminal Mind’s BodyBlog

Dear BodyBlog, so I had my photo taken recently and wow, I didn’t realize that bulking has made me look that much different, more noticeably in the face area. In other words, my face feels and looks fat! Now the conundrum is that I’m actually getting into the bulk now and actively look forward to eating so first hurdle of trying to eat is overcome. Second hurdle, I want to start cutting up real bad!! When is it that we know we’ve bulked enough? My trainer says I should keep going until I can’t gain anymore weight. I’m guesing that’s around the 85 - 90 kg mark.

Dear BodyBlog, so I finally learned how to squat, and Jesus I don’t know what the whole big deal was, but it’s not that bad.

So anyway, I found another use for the progress pictures today; they serve a great record of how fast your hair grows.

Dear BodyBlog, today we can all rest easy because I’ve hit a record weight of 77.44 kg or 107.37 lb! I still can’t believe I haven’t started Rippletoe’s program properly but I will … I promise.

Anyway, here’s a quick comparison photo of today and exactly one month ago.

Dear BodyBlog, so I’m looking at the photos back from April last year and more recently (thank the lord for progress pictures!) and honestly, I really can’t see that much difference (although my stat records would differ). Is it angle of photo taken, or could I be suffering from a mild case of bigorexia?
