Default Bulking.. how to keep track??
What kind of pics should I take to have an accurate record of what I'm achieving? Are there standard poses I can take that will show it well?

Right now:

6'2"
150lbs
24 y/o male

Hoping to bulk up to 180lbs by *next* summer. (I figure this will take about 7-8 months.) Any suggestions..?

Tape yourself... upper arm, forearm, neck, chest (along nipple line), waist (at widest point), hips, thigh, and calf. Use CM and also track your weight.

I think Expat means "Centimeters" (CM). But Inches will do as well.

Take a look at the photo gallery HERE

To get an idea of what poses you should do for your pics.

Basically:
Double bicep Front
Double bicep Back
Most Muscular
And then a leg shot.
(Don't forget to wear WHITE TUBE SOCKS!! LOL Just Kidding)

Good Luck.

Dave

Aye, I did mean centimeters. I personally prefer it over using inches when tracking because its more precise and every little victory tis cause for celebration.

okay. so because I need some serious advice bulking up, forgive me for reminding you all what a 6'2" 150lb. frame looks like ...

front
back

as you can see there's a long, long road ahead of me

Right now I am focusing mostly on trying to consume ~3,500kCal a day. However some days I easily burn 500kCal just by walking (my cell phone is a pedometer as well; I usually walk anywhere from 6-11km.)

This does not include any weight I am carrying like the boxes we stock at work (14-24kg boxes of alcoholic beverages...)

critique me please and advice or inspiring thoughts are much appreciated

sorry guy, in all honesty i didn't realize. i'll take those down then.

in all the member pics i'd seen it looked like they were just wearing boxer briefs... but i guess they were just shorts that err "hug the junk." it's a fine line I suppose
