Men, I Need a Little Reality Check, Please.

I was paging through my latest copy of Oxygen Mag and happened accross an Instone ad with this guy's before & after. Add says he lost 37 lbs in 4 months. Doable, yes - but I don't think he got all those muscles from taking the Leanfire he's holding in his "after" picture.

Can you gentlmen give me your opinions on how he went from his before to his after?

that's doable. I did something similar once - and the major contributing factor was STRESS - not a bullshit supplement. I was going through a divorce

so did he already have the muscles in the before pic? It doesn't look like it to me.

doable, yes...a good personal trainer, good nutrionist, "gear" and an abundance of knowledeable people in his corner can get him like that in 4 months...I doubt that he did that with leanfire...another thing...the pics could actually not be in a 4 month span but longer...meaning it could have taken him alot longer then 4 months, but they or he said thats how long it took..

yep - look around the midsection. On a 220 lb. man, theres 25 lbs. right there.

Unless that guy had phenomonal genetics, I can't imagine him gaining those massive arms in 4 months; even with AAS. I suspect he's either got a twin brother who's a body builder or it was done with photoshop.

Those before after ads are great marketing tools-but after re posing and photo retouch/lighting adjustments they're hardly the typical results the avg person will get. I remember seeing Cybergenics ads from back in the day. In some cases the before picture and after picture were 2 different people. I call it false advertising-they call it a mistake made by the graphic design department. lol

I know the fat loss is doable, but I'm talking about the muscle gains. What's your best guess, cycle wise?

 

[ryan04]

He might have lifted weights before and just never did cardio and/or ate like shit...had some muscle covered by a big layer of fat. I see this scenario a lot in the Hydroxycut ads. You can tell the dudes were already big and built they just had a bunch of fat. The pictures of them are probably after a cutting cycle.
Bulk cycle > pictures for ad > cut cycle > pictures for ad.

He might have juiced and/or started working out/eating/dieting like a madman.

But it seems to me the most sensible explanation is that he went on the Subway diet.

cycle wise? In 4 months??!! probably not..you figure a good prop/tren/eq/winny/clen/t3 cycle is about 14-16 weeks....its a great stack but wouldnt make that "kind" of change that fast in an individual....im thinking that it took this person more time to get to where he is at now and not 4 months..
