When I Started:
How I Started:
Started lifting in high school. Stopped my senior year of high school. Just really got back into it about two years ago, but it has been inconsistent. Trying to see better gains, but I'm struggling trying to find things that work for me. Thinking about doing the whole 'bulking and cutting' stages, but I'm not really sure how to approach it. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I'd really appreciate it!
Why I Love It:
Great stress reliever. My body is the only thing I have some sort of control over, so I want to try to look and feel the best that I can.
How I Stay Motivated:
FAITH. Feeling good. Staying healthy. Wanting to look better for myself.
BB Accomplishments:
I've gained about 20 pounds since freshman year of college.
Forum Signature:

This is me before I got serious about 3 weeks ago. Wanting to bulk up without gaining too much fat. Going to stick to a good diet and lift like none other. There's much back fat to be lost...
Still doing a clean bulk. Started doing a 5-day split routine last Monday. I like it a lot better. Hoping to see bigger gains soon.
Work it, make it, do it, makes us
harder, better, faster, stronger.
Goal (Long):
To gain good lean muscle over the course of about 5 months. Hopefully, with good diet and lifting hard, I can put on 10 lbs of muscle (not including the fat I might gain along the way...but I'll try to limit that, and shed it when it comes cutting time).
I'd have to agree it seems things are really looking up for you.
I am putting together a training regimen for myself this week any suggestions?
Your probably busting through your finals right now. Hope all is going well.
how's the progress comin? saw your progress pic. i had the same problem too- worked out like crazy but didn't see results for a while. just keep it up until the cycle is over and then start cutting with lots of cardio. good luck
Keep the faith, guy. This is a long process with progress times and plateau times. Keep at it, keep the diet clean and keep liftin'. The gains and progress will come. It's definitely hard to stay positive when the gains you want are slow in coming. Pix help big time to compare where you were to where you are.
My progress is a mixed bag right now. I'm improving in some areas, but not in others. I need to somehow actually just stick to my diet plan and I'd be happier if I could just get my arms to grow again! I'm glad you're mood has improved - keep at it and you'll get there.
Andrew, be patient, i'm the same way. It's only been 4 weeks. I do see some increase thickness in the pecs and you seem to be making some great progress. Be careful no to gain weight too fast or you will add more fat than muscle. Keep up the intensity as you are doing and the progress will come.
