Do you take “Before” and “After” pictures?
I’m a big believer of taking progress pictures of yourself on a regular basis whenever you undertake a “Physique Transformation”.
Regardless of what your goal is…
Be it getting six pack abs for a beach vacation, or to look your best so you can take your shirt off at the pool parties this summer, or getting in shape for a wedding, or maybe you want to take it all the way and step on the bodybuilding contest stage. Whatever it is your are training for, you need to have visual feedback of your progress along the way.
Bottom line, taking progress pics will let you know if what you are doing is working or not, the camera doesn’t lie!
It also breaks down your big physique transformation goal into several little stepping stone goals. For example, each time you take progress pics you want to look better then your previous set of pics. And if you keep doing that week, after week, after week… Before you know it you’ll be a totally different person physique wise.
Just to show you how dramatic this process actually is, just take a look at my pics below…
The first one was taken on December 14, 2009 when I was just 2 weeks into my pre-contest diet for the 2010 Atlantic Canadian Bodybuilding Championships. The second pic was taken March 14, 2010. Exactly 3 months later, as you can see there is a HUGE difference! And the cool thing is I still have another month of dieting to tighten up even more before my contest!
So when you undertake your own Physique Transformation I hope you’ll take my advice and track your progress with pictures along the way.
And if you’d like to have a complete step-by-step nutritional system to follow to help you make a dramatic “Before” and “After” physique transformation, you should pick up a copy of the “Anabolic Cooking” program at:

204 pounds and dropping…
I just thought I’d through this pic up. It was taken down in my rec-room after I got home from doing cardio this morning. I’m currently 204 pounds at 8 weeks and 4 days out from the 2010 Atlantic Canadian Bodybuilding Championships.
I ran the indoor track at the university today for my morning cardio workout. I alternated walking a lap, and running a lap, and continued doing this non stop for a full hour while I cranked the tunes in my MP3 player.
In addition to following a strict diet and hard weight training workouts, I find that nothing strips the fat away like cardio done first thing in the morning before eating. So if you’re looking to lose some of that stubborn bodyfat I’d highly recommend you give it a try.
P.S.
If you are looking for a complete killer fat loss program that will help you carve out those ripped six pack abs and get down to a SINGLE DIGIT bodyfat percentage. Then I highly recommend you check out my buddy John Romaniello’s advanced fat-blasting program “Final Phase Fat Loss”
This isn’t some basic beginners diet and exercise 101 type of program. But rather this is geared towards serious fitness enthusiasts who are already working out regularly, who are already in pretty good shape now, but who want to take things to the next level and get in AWESOME Shape! So if you are looking to kick your training up a notch, and get those ripped six pack abs just in time to hit the beach or pool this summer, why not give this program a shot? Trust me you won’t be disappointed…

Progress pics taken 12 weeks out…
These are some progress pics that I took 12 weeks out from the 2010 Atlantics.
So far so good. I’ve been eating a low carb diet and it’s working really well for me. I can see my definition improving.
After taking a couple years away from the contest stage I’m super motivated to really hit my all time best shape ever for this show.
Here are the 12 weeks out pics below…
