The first photo was taken on April 4th, second one was May 10th. What has me confused are my measurements. According to my friend the tape measurer it states I've gained 1.5" in arms, 3" in chest and 3" in shoulders, 0" in waist or other areas. Scale is down 6 lbs. I'm guessing bad measurements in the beginning?

    Your results are solid. So whether or not the measurements are accurate is pretty much irrelevant just as it pertains to reality. You look more muscular so if you're down 6lbs, rock on dude.

    That's one month? I don't think it's a measurement problem. I didn't even realize both pictures were the same person.

    One month and a few days. I literally spent the entire month doing nothing but working out, working and eating chicken.

    Measurements are hard to get accurate (flex vs relax can change them, obviously). But..gaining muscle while burning fat..and apparently you've done a superb job of that! Way to go!
