Yuck. Didn't even know how to pose. This was just after a 4 week bulking session I thought I'd do for fun (little did I realize it'd get me thinking about competing). Gained 20 lbs in 4 weeks; the crazy part of that was about half of that was muscle.

Struggled for a bit- had a birthday (ahem) and went through a week of "I think I'm gonna bulk for a month!" so my progress went kind of backwards/forwards for a bit. Also started creatine, so my weight hasn't been going down as I think I'm gaining a little muscle mass/water weight of some sort.

Lost quite a bit of fat; cutting the regular way. Took a week off after the next for Thanksgiving.

Definitely looking and feeling a lot better thanks to the Ketogenic Diet; still am a bit pudgy though. This is the final picture before I bulk again for 4 weeks... I plan on getting to 210 (less than 3 lbs of fat gain in this time) and then cutting to 6-8% bodyfat by May.
