+ 32 3 year transformation.....Never satisfied
It was almost 3 years ago exactly that i put down the drugs and unhealthy lifestyle i was living and started on my bodybuilding journey. I was around 125-130lbs in those first pictures. Looking like i was ready to die lol. I was serious from the day I started lifting. I spend literally all my time reading about training and nutrition. I didnt want to waste any time making mistakes. And I was very lucky to have two great lifting partners who were already huge to show me the way. And best of all they never once said anything about how fucking small i was. All they would do was encourage me. So i got lucky i never wasted time doing bicep curls everyday like you see alot of new lifters doing. The current picture was about 3 weeks ago right at the end of my last cycle a little over 200lbs with an insane arm pump from some pre workout tne, igf-1 des and m1T. My arms probably grew more then and inch from that pump. They normally dont look that good lol. So overall I'm 75-80lbs heavier then i was 3 years ago. I dont think I'm to fat lol, so a decent chunk of its gotta be muscle
I plan on competing in July most likely in mens physique as i feel my shape and size is probably best suited for that class. But i plan to switch to bodybuilding at some point. So for the next 2.5 months ill be on a clean bulking diet, then the next 8 weeks my diet will be around maintenance with hopes of recomping and getting into better condition before the full blown cut starts. Hopefully at the end of that 8 weeks all be around 210 at 10% bf or so. And then the next 13 weeks after that will be full on cut mode so hopefully i can step on stage in the 190s sub 5%. My main focus the next 6 months will be bringing up my stubborn ass upper chest which just refuses to grow, my arms need some improvement an also my legs. I have a great coach helping me thru this entire 7 month prep so i have no doubt ill bring a great package to the stage. .
Gonna upload a few more pics later when i get a chance. And advice for my first show will be greatly appreciated.

Shit man ur before pics look just like min. I was 155 lbs at 6'3" when I started lifting. Now I'm 225 and lean as shit, it must feel great looking back on those pics and seeing such a transformation. I wish I had some before pics from when I was 19-20 to use as a point of reference but I know where I came from so that's all that matters...plus one homie
Hell ya bro I look back at those old pics all the time to remind myself how far I've come. A lot of times i get down on myself and im not happy with my progess but then I remember where I started. I didn't have a 170lb starting point like most people who are 6ft tall I started with nothing and built what I have from scratch. Goal is 225lean Hopefully in a year or so. That would mean 100lb muscle gain in 4 years. Id like to be able to say that lol. But it's cool knowing I've put on 75lbs or so of muscle in 3 years.
no need to get down. Guys like us will always have muscle dsymorphia to some extent, we just gotta remember how far we have come. Kudos to your gains, I gained 75 pounds in 18 months when I first started....but I admittedly looked fucking horrible. I dropped 35 of that and rebuilt as lean muscle, now I'm pushing for 235, single digit bf and I'll (maybe) be happy
Much preferred your errr... Swimmers body?
J/k bro, great work and dedication, not just with the gear but with the diet and training. good luck with you comp, let us know how it goes!

Great transformation brotha. I'm glad you got your problem sorted out in your twenties and not later. Props on that. I used to be thin as a rail like you used to be. You're holding that muscle well. Nice work!

sm4llclap clap clap...

Thanks man
bigwillyhomie I know ya don't want to hear this but bro your an exact duplicate of me when I was young, I was bone thin up till 25 ish. I started going back and forth to prison at 17 and by 26ish I started to fill out and put on muscle. didn't touch an anabolic anything until way into my 30s. time bro, time will be the altimate anabolic for you.
remember this dog, nothing good happens over night. the slower it comes the better quality it will be. good job homie !!
That's the truth. Thanks bro

AnonNice work man, I know how it feels to battle an addiction. Its one of the hardest things I've ever overcome. But once you come out the other side its like being reborn. Amazing transformation bro, keep it up and good luck with your show. Wish I had the balls to step on stage.
Thanks brother, congrats to you over coming your addiction also. If you want the balls to step on stage go watch a Bodybuidling show live. I swore I would never compete but after seeing one I can't wait to.
AnonTrue, I've been to the Arnold Classic a couple times and was really blown away seeing that shit in real life.
Go to a local show . Then you'll see you actually have a really good chance at placing it you prep right.
AnonI plan on it, there are always plenty in my state. I've seen some of the guys at my gym that compete and it makes me think its entirely possible, at least at a local level to start. I just hate dieting lol, got down to around 7% and was hating it the whole time. I'd rather be 12% @ 230 lbs than 7% at 190 I guess.
Lol I hear ya dieting sucks. But if you take it nice and slow you don't have to restrict yourself so much.
bbondsCongrats on changing your life bro.
Thanks man
quite the transformation , you went from a scrawny fucker to looking like your in the gym and kitchen. Now get back to work and keep honing your diet and training skills. DIET 50% TRAINING 35% GEAR 15% Looking good iron but greatness is still further ahead. keep it up bro.
100% diet bro, without my body makes zero progess. Right now I think i have everything dialed in perfectly now or atleast the best it's ever been regarding diet/drugs/training/sleep. Watch out for me in the next few months its time to get big.
Im all about that diet bout that diet no cupcake
hey now a cupcake every now in then is ok lmfao
RustyhookerRed velvet cake.....yum
put that mother fucking fork down and save me a piece you bastard you have had enough save some for me.
That's good to hear bro. I like to see people actually have the drive and determination to do it all and give everything 100% instead of just putting all their effort into their drug protocol. I will be watching and waiting lol.
Same to you bro I wanna see big things from you in 2015. Couple good blasts and you could seriously be a monster.
