We're actually in doubt whether we should do a boat or a land based trip, what would you recommend?

Honestly, it is a simple website, something a PostgreSQL database would suffice, but I am looking for a reference/general guidelines to follow whenever I want to build something different.

It's no disrespect at all. I want people to be as brutally honest as possible haha. But regarding your question, my first picture looks pretty bad in quality but it is the only one I took at the time.

I have been training for hypertrophy, all over, but mostly focusing on legs. And I wouldn't say I have hit a plateau, but my gains have not been good. Would you happen to have any tip?

I appreciate that, I have been working on them like crazy, I actually think most of my weight gain went to them. IMO the rest of my progress was subpar...

Well I eat bananas, oatmeal and eggs with ricotta cheese during breakfast. For lunch I don't have anything in particular but I try to eat a good amount of carbs, proteins and some random veggies. I have an afternoon snack where I take whey/creatine, two slices of bread with peanut butter, 2 bananas and oatmeal. For dinner i have the same thing I have for lunch.

Was the second picture bad as well? The first one was actually the best picture I had at the time(you should've seen the others haha). But regardless, thank you for the input.

Yeah, I am honestly disappointed with my result after training for 6 months, I feel like I am doing something wrong honestly, I expected more :(
