Stupid question, but I’m wondering if people usually workout before taking performance photos? I’ve always taken my pics cold but am wondering what other people do.

Most bodybuilders pump up and oil up before a photo shoot. There is a huge difference between taking a picture of yourself just so you can track your own progress…and trying to look your best possible for a few seconds during a photoshoot meant to highlight what you have already achieved.
I would not pump up for a photo I am taking for my own records to track progress. You would want to be in a state easily copied in the future. I would pump up if I was just posting a photo to show off what I’ve accomplished.
Thanks X, that makes sense. I guess the key is consistency so you can gauge progress accurately.
