Some up to date photos. Had a tattoo on my chest and got it removed for a job. Doesn't look noticeable at all. Arms are warm but the leg photo is cold. No pump. Still chicken legs but I'm working on it. Hope to maintain and still grow till my next run.
I started my cycle around 208. Thought I was 215 than realized the scale I used was off...very disappointing. Sitting at 222 right now and lost 3 inches on My waist.
A simple test e run at 500ew and a Dbol kickstand 4 weeks at 30mg ED. Tried 40 but got tension headaches.
Oh sorry for poor image quality.
And please any members advice is welcome.
Thinking more forearm work and continue to cut down after.

Looking solid and strong but I would say you're creeping towards 20% bf and bulking will most likely jump you up higher than you want! I would take a month or so and maintain your weight in cals and start throwing in cardio, weekly try dropping carbs slowly and keeping up the cardio, I think you would be amazed when you get down towards 10-12% bf, don't be obsessed with the scale as hard as that is, be obsessed with the man in the mirror, once I focused on that its been the biggest game changer for me. Hit it hard and drop that body fat! Let me know if I can help also!
BendTheBarbellYea close I'm still getting 17 on the electric handheld bf measuring thing and 16 on calipers but your right. I had a great run definitely added leantissue a lot and list bf this cycle but.that's cause I ate pretty good. And a lot. I'm feeling confident with the support u all give me and advice. Getting my diet in check after I keep the tissue after pct I'm gonna try to shred up naturally the best I can than try to build up again my next run. Those of you thar saw my photo I posted before I started lifting... Y'all would understand why I'm addicted to bulking lol. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your opinion again I agree it's time to start losing some bf before I continue to cycle. I'll get more out of it.
+1 bro for posting up! Time to loose a little body fat and build up from there. If you need any help PM me...
BendTheBarbellThanks bulkdaddy! Any advice from any vet is gold to me. FR sent.
I can see a decent base under there. Shoulders, traps and quads look strong. Bring up the back and try an 8 week cut to reduce bf and then go back to bulking to make progress more effecient, especially if you're gonna be juicing. Hit me up anytime +2
BendTheBarbellThat's some Solid advice guitarplayer1 about making progress more efficient and I'm absolutely going to cut down some. I'll try to add some back shots if I remember so u can get a better look. But I agree in adding more meat to my back. Rear delts. Forearms. Legs.
Yep and you will see the progress better while leaner too. You can be a whole different animal by end of July just by reducing the bf. Then we can hit those cals and bust some shirts
We're all in the same boat with the adding size bro and it never ends, lol
Looks like you're in a bathroom to me. lol
BendTheBarbellRestroom! No baths! Lol.
You can't bath in that sink? lol
BendTheBarbellIt's actually a sink and mirror store..who would've guessed
ha ha and you posing in there??
+2 for being a good sport and have a sense of humor.
BendTheBarbellHaha thanks man. U wouldn't believe the looks the families shopping for sinks gave me lol
Na I can't. lol.
TronYou have a "fighters" like physique..not so much a bodybuilder physique...don't take that as me being negative either..looking like a fighter..or a bodybuilder are both compliments imo. ..you look strong is what I'm saying..like you probably have a decent amount of functional strength as well as muscular endurance.+2 all day buddy.
BendTheBarbellThanks brother. Definitely taken as a compliment. I don't fight at all though or at least not anymore. Some guys are telling me to keep adding mass others say let's see what's underneath and what I do for a living...functional STRENGTH is very important as well as endurance. I'm gonna do what works best for my lifestyle and what makes me happy. Even if I lose In the next couple years I'm gonna establish it a goal of mine to go on stage all cut up so I got something awesome to show my kids one day if I ever have kids. Again thanks again tron it means a lot especially coming from a cybernetic machine
Tron....................ORGANISM
not machine..c'mon man...everybody knows that shit.
BendTheBarbellEven better!
zorro2014I can still see your tatto
BendTheBarbellHaha I should've said it wasn't TOO noticable. There will still b some scarring from it. But it's surprisingly not that bad.
You've definitely got some meat under there. Keep grinding away brother!! +1
BendTheBarbellThank you brother! Again this is great positive feedback. I'm getting too excited! Lol I was expecting a lot more of "eat more white meat" and "eat less cheesecake " lol. Its truely been a grind over the year's but the support I'm getting from the brothers here is great and I hope to achieve whatever I can manage in my lifetime. Thanks again for your support true grit!
After the last pic I posted, I have no business telling anyone to lay off the cheesecake, lol. As long as your not a giant jackass, most members here are pretty supportive. Just keep moving forward bro.
Looking good brother BtB! Thick, brawny and powerful physique! You're young with infinite potential! It's quite obvious that you're putting the work in! Outstanding work! +2 for a strongman's build!
You have some fantastic bodybuilding potential, dial in your diet and tweak your training! Great things lie on your horizon! Keep grinding and best wishes always! We're already friends brother, contact me if you need anything!
BendTheBarbellI am very appreciative of your motivation and advice theophany! Your a true inspiration. I'm gonna do my best to maintain this tissue while losing some bf for the next few months. I believe with the support I get from friends like u I can do it. Thanks again brother. Wish you the best as well!
Good progress man! Keep working hard towards your goals!!
BendTheBarbellThanks brother! Aiming for arms like yours one day. Creature status! Haha
RustyhookerI can see you've got mass going on. Next spring cutting and you'll have a great time. Looking strong and lost inches. Catalyst can help you a ton in future
BendTheBarbellThank you very much for chiming in rusty. Your a good mentor . I am going told take every bit of advice I can cram in my young mind and you know to b honest. It was always as dream of mine to go on stage but I never had the balls to do it. I think I'm gonna make it a goal of mine in the near future hence why I'm gonna clean up my diet. Thanks again for your 0.02 and support . best wishes
I'm not sure what your sport is. Powerlifting? Bodybuilding?
On face value I'd say your BF in your stats is off, you're higher than 16%. You have got some solid meat on you under that though, carve it up and it would shine more but as mentioned above I'm
Not sure if the aesthetics part is of relevance to you. "Chicken legs" is very hard on yourself, they're not bad. Not your strongest asset, but they don't jump out as a major weak point. Being a bit too self critical there fella.
BendTheBarbellThank you for chiming in catalyst. I appreciate u stopping by! I powerlift as a hobby. I'm not a competitor. Back when I started the grind at about 140lbs I ate everything and was never diligent about body fat. I'm now starting to consider the longevity of the lifestyle and wanna transition to a bodybuilding type physique. Thanks again for your opinions they mean a lot.
If you need help with the diet etc, drop me a line. Nothing wrong with the way you've gone about it, always carve it up later.
BendTheBarbellFor sure! FR sent. I'll take any advice I can get no matter how much I read though I find that fine tuning diet depends on individual. But I have yet to attempt any type of cutting phase. The fact I lost any body fat on cycle is probably cause I got the majority of my calories from home cooked meals and protein shakes. But I ate like a horse. Again I appreciate your guidance. Its big to me coming from u
