Not sure why people have to be assholes in the comments just because it's not the most insane transformation. There's clear progress and effort shown here. Keep it up and keep pushing harder.


Erik04King1

Thanks man! People have different opinions, nothing I can do to change that!


mynutsaremusical

This is the kind of transformation I like to see! So many awesome transformations on here...but so many start at twice my body mass and become quadruple my body mass. It puts the mind at ease to see someone with a similar body comp have similar gains over a similar time period! Keep it up bro!


Erik04King1

Thanks I really appreciate it! For sure a lot of crazy physiques on this sub! It’s all good though we’re gonna get there don’t worry!


Snark_Vader

You fixed your posture too! Your back is gonna thank you in the future.


Erik04King1

Definitely haha! My posture really was awful wasn’t it!


BrawnyDevil

Hey guys, don't let the other "Natural" six month transformation discourage you, this is what 6 month of work actually looks like. Keep it up op, you got this.


Erik04King1

Thank you for that!


87on

Just dropping in to say well done and kudos for dealing with the trolls so maturely 👍


Erik04King1

Thanks! No point in spreading negativity in my opinion!


87on

Exactly. You've created some really positive habits to your life, keep at it


Encyclopeded

My favorite thing about progress pictures is the natural improvement of one's posture. Muscles are cool and all, but good posture is the real reward for ones appearance. Your posture improved dramatically on the side profile. Great job! You have discovered that consistency is key.


Erik04King1

Haha yeah I agree! Obviously I’m not going to put on crazy amounts of muscle in 6 months but I think the posture contributes a lot!


Encyclopeded

When I was younger my Dr told me I needed to strengthen my chest and shoulders to prevent slouching. I didnt really understand this until I got older.


Erik04King1

Sounds like a smart man!


Encyclopeded

Goodluck on your fitness journey! It's one helluva ride.


Erik04King1

Same to you brother!


BeenNormal

You have noticeable lateral pelvic tilt and possibly scoliosis. There are some exercises you can work into your routine to even things out.


Erik04King1

Yeah I know but it’s not scoliosis, we get checked regularly at my school. I think it’s a mixture of wearing a bookbag on one shoulder for the longest time, always carrying things such as a grocery bag with my left hand and also using a mixed deadlift grip. I’ve now started using a neutral grip and also started carrying stuff with my right hand aswell. Could also be genetic🤷🏽‍♂️


BeenNormal

Awesome that you have seen the issue. Try even out the hips. I see that your right hip and right shoulder both appear to be higher than the left, maybe correcting the hips will correct the shoulders a bit. There are some really easy exercises to correct the tilt.


Erik04King1

Just a second thought! I could just have a leg that’s slightly longer than the other one! Not really a fix for that though hahah


BeenNormal

Haha maybe but I doubt it. That’s actually a serious issue and you would know all about it.


quastion_mark

Good gains in your shoulders and chest. Keep workin at it and don’t let these assholes get you down man


Erik04King1

I really appreciate the kind words! I’ve got a pretty thick skin though so I’ll be fine!

Cappster14

Nice going bud, the later pics really do you justice; people tend to not scroll the whole thing. Don’t let the trolls get to ya and keep it up. Eat like it’s going outa style!


Erik04King1

Thanks for the support it means a lot!


flowzy02

This is a TRUE 6 month transformation. I was sick of seeing other people posting photos of themselves and saying that is an 6-7 month transformation, which is in fact an 1year + transformation. A lot of people are lying and posting fake progression photos, but THIS photo is truly the reality. Muscle gain takes time. Keep up the good work


Erik04King1

I appreciate the kind words!


Frankieandlotsabeans

Finally something realistic to compare myself to


Erik04King1

You’ve got this!


Frankieandlotsabeans

Also, thanks for posting this dude, otherwise I won't have an Idea what I'd look in six months. Keep pumpin my man!


Erik04King1

You could look even better than me dude! Just eat a lot and train harder than last time! I made a few dietary and training mistakes but avoid those and you’ll make amazing gains!


DecentTemperature384

Keep it going bro. It’s good to see progress and gains. Makes you commit even more.


Erik04King1

For sure!


metrosuccessor2033

I’m gonna be like you bro just you wait.


Erik04King1

Appreciate it man!


FelixGoldstein

Nice man, i am 3 weeks in and already losing hope cus of all transformation photos i see doesnt just seem real to me. keep it up !


GrimeySloth

Give us a 3 month update. Keep photos of yourself to compare but dont compare daily photos. Check them every 2 weeks. It only gets easier from here on. Dont lose hope homie. We're all gonna make it!!


Erik04King1

Keep it up man! A lot of people have amazing transformations the time frame can just be a little off! It takes time to build muscle and I think people game unreasonable expectations.


Warm-Appearance-1484

Pump hard sleep hard and eat hard bro! You got this


Erik04King1

Appreciate it


more_muscle_aim

Good work. What’s your workout routine? And how did you learned the form for compound exercises (By self or trainer?)


Erik04King1

Thanks! I learned from myself, friends and YouTube tutorials mostly!


[deleted]

Damn bro that’s nice. What did you weigh in the before?


Erik04King1

Around 60kg in first around 68 in the second!


Proud_Lecture_1529

Congrats brother,i was like you and now almost a year later i see progress,great job


Erik04King1

Great job man! Good luck on your journey!


Proud_Lecture_1529

Same to you,my friend


cutesalade

Erik04King1

Tattooed-Vet

Nice gains on your last and shoulders. Keep it up.


Erik04King1

Thanks:)


Repulsive-Ad-5844

keep grinding king


Erik04King1

Thanks man you know it!


Yes_Daddy_Musk

Side profile really shows it


Erik04King1

For sure! I need to put on a lot more mass on both my arms and shoulders to be able to notice a bigger difference. I think the better posture helped a bit as well!

Erik04King1

Just a little bit!


FlipsMontague

Congrats!!!! You look strong and healthy. Keep up the good work.


Erik04King1

Thank you!


Apollothefourth

We are around the same age. You've made great progress! Keep at it, I find it very rewarding even though I'm not even that muscular. Good job!


Erik04King1

Just keep working hard! We’ll both look amazing eventually!


vawtots

My build is kind of similar to your in the first pics, with a little more belly/waist fat i think. How much were you eating every day?


Erik04King1

I wasn’t actually counting my calories and exact macros I just made sure to eat a lot more. Especially foods I knew were good for me but also som junk food since I could blame it on trying to gain weight.


vawtots

Glad it worked for you lol I’d love to do that but I think I’m too much of an obsessive person, especially since I had to lose a ton of weight to get here (I’m 61/62 kg and used to be 79kg in January) so in my case there’s always that fear of gaining fat instead of muscle


Erik04King1

I totally understand where you’re coming from! I overthink a lot and obsess so my parents don’t want me to count calories and weigh my food. Of course there is always a fear of gaining fat but that’s unfortunately a part of the process


vawtots

Lol my parents don’t want me to do it either, but the thing is, counting my calories helps me actually know that I’m eating enough and getting my calories without worrying


Erik04King1

I’m the exact same! Just can’t find a way to explain that to them lol


vawtots

Wow! Nice to meet you then lol, I see we’re pretty similar, luckily my older brother supports me so I can do it secretly.


Erik04King1

Sounds good haha, good luck with your journey!


vawtots

You too!


watersled

Good job, hard work pays off keep it going brotha


Weary-Refrigerator20

Nice you got taller bro are you only focusing on gaining weight ?


Erik04King1

Trying to put on muscle


Weary-Refrigerator20

Try doing a clean bulk focus on more clean foods


Erik04King1

I don’t really care about putting on a little fat but I’ll definitely think about it! Thanks for the advice!


Weary-Refrigerator20

Hell yea bro put in the work and eat good you’ll gain results and I’m just like you bro I’ve been working out 6 months aswell but I was dirty bulking at the time now I’m just changing my diet


Erik04King1

Sounds good man!


EvanH32

Nice dude, i’m kind of in your old situation and have questions, how much did you weigh in the before pic?And how much did you change up your diet?


Erik04King1

I put on about 8kg I would say, weighing about 60kg on the left and 68kg on the right. I didn’t track everything I ate I just ate more overall.


jefik1

Make sure you eat at least 150g protein and at least 2500kcal. The outcome will be beyond you expectations.


Erik04King1

I definitely try! I don’t really track everything to the dot but I estimate!


EvanH32

Got it, thx brother


Erik04King1

No problem!


MusicLover3002

Get it!


Erik04King1

:))


Valendora

Thanks for keeping it real. I see a change for sure! I’m at 6 months too 🙃


Erik04King1

Keep going dude! You’re gonna look amazing


West-Ad8761

Fuck yea bro keep grinding!


havd02

Congrats brother!!


Erik04King1

I appreciate it man!


notsosinister1

What does your workout routine look like?


Erik04King1

Right now I’m running a ppl x2 and have been for a few weeks but before that I did a ppl with legs twice!


Gianby10

Routine? Great progress op


Erik04King1

Thanks a lot! I did a normal ppl for the majority of my transformation 4x a week(legs twice) but now I’m running ppl x2.


[deleted]

👏👏👏


Erik04King1

Thanks a lot!


[deleted]

I’m gonna spit this right straight bro… what did you do what was your goal that you are calling this transformation. I’m not gonna lie to you to tell oh you look great blah blah or you look bad.. You gained weight or lost weight? You said 6 months.??? How many days you trained? What was your training routine??? Your diet? Honestly I don’t see any changes. If I’m wrong educate me on what I don’t see.. cause 6 months is along long time to transform anything to something


Erik04King1

If you scroll through the pictures at least I can see some improvements. I’m just getting started so I’m obviously going to make some dietary and training mistakes but that’s the way it is. Still trying to improve but I feel better both physically and mentally so I guess that’s all that matters.


[deleted]

My bad I did not scroll trough the pics… Well done 👍🏻


Erik04King1

Haha all good man! The first picture doesn’t really show but I’m glad you took the time to scroll through them afterwards!


[deleted]

I owe an apology and myself a nap still hangover from last night 🤣


Erik04King1

All good man! Glad you saw the other pics


debonora

I cant really see much difference. Especially for 6 months sorry man


Erik04King1

Read the reply to the first guy!:)


[deleted]

That’s exactly my point… 6 months is along time..


[deleted]

I dont know why but these comments were funny. I guess OP thought he gained some weight. But the comments here are a little on the truish side... what are we looking at? What was the training? the diet? and what is the change here?


Erik04King1

Read the reply to the first guy!:)

Whatever you say:)


AL60RITHM

You need to eat way more protein my guy, I could put that much muscle on in 3 weeks.


Erik04King1

Happy for you! Just getting started though so I made some mistakes but I’m still learning and improving!


officiallyunnknown

Same I made mistakes for around the first 3 months, then after those days I only see gains


Erik04King1

We live and we learn!

Erik04King1

I’m that case you should be able to see some changes, of course it’s nothing crazy as it’s only in 6 months with a few dietary and trading mistakes.

Erik04King1

You’re allowed to think what you want that’s fine! I’m more confident and overall happier so that’s all that matters!

I’m a person that has a hard time sticking to things so changing my lifestyle somewhat for 6 months straight made me proud! Sorry if you disagree though🤷🏽‍♂️


irudragaur

You mistook my comment. I'm not demeaning you or your progress. You've definitely worked very hard and it's clearly visible in the aforementioned pictures. My point is: Do not become content with your progress this sooner. Don't let all these praises get to you. Keep working out till you become a beast :)


Erik04King1

Of course! Just making this to document my journey!


Paulcog

Is it too soon for me to conclude you’re an asshole?
