I felt like it was time to share some of the best gainers I know from the community, My goal is make a list of results from all notable gainers I can find and share them here.
Consider this a highlight reel. None of the people other than myself (BD) is assocaited with PMP. Consider this a proof of PE works post.
BD – BEEDEE – BD19962015
Yours truly,
I have been doing PE for a long time, more than I would care to admit. I started in 2013-2014 and stopped in 2015 and picked it up again in 2019
In 2019, I took pictures, not great but enough to have a starting point.
There was a point where I was doing monthly progress updates, but Reddit banned the account u/bd19962015. However, since I am a data hoarder. I still have a lot of these photos; I just have to sort through them and find what is worth adding
This post will be a compendium of all my progress pictures… eventually, but for now I am sharing my most recent.
I will add this disclaimer: I went from 200lb to 230lb to 193lb to currently 260lb in body weight. it’s a long story, but mainly between bodybuilding and my skeleton growing up through my mid-twenties (breadth, not height), my quads and mons pubis are the largest they have ever been, which is why we track BPEL, not NBPEL. Because while my case is extreme, your body weight will more than likely fluctuate during your time doing PE, as it takes years to enlarge, and your body will fluctuate. We need to isolate true size from perceived size.
That being said.
These befores were shot on a Pixel 4 XL, while the currents are shot on a Canon R50 Sigma lens at 35mm, 1080p footage, then frame grab. ( Video and then frame grab is soooo much easier to get progress shots with, as you just film yourself measuring)
Are these shots perfect? God no. In a perfect world, I would have stayed the same weight, used the same phone, and eaten the same thing prior with the exact camera angle. But I do think this shows pretty undeniable proof that I have gained
For the sake of completetion, here is a video from may 2025.

MuleJuiceMcquaid also ran into issues with image sharing and picture storage like myself. I am using a publicly available link, but he probably has more somewhere.
This is the only individual I am aware of with perfect angle control. Mule went from 5 7/8 to a hair under 8 in about 2 and a half years of PE.
He mainly used a hanger straight out at roughly 6l-13lb of tension. Without any periodization that I teach, he was before my time.
If you want to see something crazy, you can use the video playback bar as a slider to control the speed of playback. much more apparent how much he grew.
You can find more info on him here.
