Personally I think you looked great with your before pictures. Nice routine, looks like you're keeping healthy so keep on keeping on! Protein can be a pain to keep up on.

Sick, I'd probably take creatine before and during gym workout to just get that extra edge and put myself to the limit.
Nice routine, keep it up mate.

The thing about creatine is that it is essentially giving you a lot of ATP (energy), but a lot of the extra weight that you put on is really water weight. The only future supplements I'm going to consider taking is Nitrogen Monoxide based preworkouts and a possible fat burner once I'm done with my bulk. I'm hovering around 11-12% body fat hopefully come April 2015 I'll shed those extra 3-4% to hover around 8-9% body fat. Also a bowl of ice cream is better than creatine as postworkout because it triggers your insulin growth hormones which increases muscle growth.

what time frame did it take you to bulk up?

what time frame did it take you to bulk up?

So I've been lifting on and off for about 4 years. This isn't the biggest I've ever been, but it's probably the most aesthetic I've ever been. I'm still working towards bulking up another 15-20 pounds then leaning it all out probably lose a good 10 pounds in the process of cutting, but I'll be better looking instead of so bulky. Just remember lifting for strength =/= aesthetics. Sometimes strength training gives aesthetics, but that comes down to your genetics. Usually strength training just makes you look like a giant bear. My goal is to gain another at least 15 pounds by the end of December.

Good luck & keep up the good work!
