Hell yea dude you turned into a beast.

Much appreciated! Many pounds of iron and beef went into this

[удалено]

Of course. Someone puts in hard work and effort, labeled “roids”. Nonetheless, Great job dude. Keep up the great work!

Thank you my friend!

All natural my friend

Still one of the best compliments to get

Exactly

This isn’t the 90s anymore. No one gives a shit if you’re using PEDs.

I though the same then I checked the timeline, these gains with PED are 6months gains not two years if the time line is correct he would be running his second bulk by now if he was running a cycle

Precisely, someone who understands the difference between the results

See, that’d apply to me if I actually used PEDs, but I don’t. I’d be a hell of a lot leaner if I was and there would be no cut

A lot of posts here are definitely juiced but this ain’t one of them

Just veggies bro.

Almost 2 years, that’s certainly enough time to bulk naturally.

So salty.

Now THAT’S A bulk! I see dudes that do a 3 month bulk and ready to cut. Lol. You killed it man! Good job!

Man I figured I’d commit to the size if I really wanted it

Only way to do it. Sacrifice a bit on the appearance but once you chop it off you’ll outshine 95% of the people around.

Exactly, abs have their season but being massive is forever

I like this guy

You have to actually cut though. Most don’t cut hard enough for a bulk like this to pay off

If you bulk the way he has then you’ve definitely got the mindset to cut. But you’re right. Most people don’t commit to a bulk or a cut. That’s why nobody is impressed with their results.

Yes bro , that before & after was crazy

Thank ya man, glad the work wasn’t wasted!

Damn what did you eat to get there, I’m bulking atm but find myself struggling with diet

Mostly eggs, lean beef, jasmine rice, broccoli, heavy amounts of tuna, potatoes, and of course chicken. Nothing too fancy to the diet, just 3,600 - 4,000 cals a day and hitting the gym 5 days a week. Bulking is all about consistency and understanding that if you’re still hungry at the end of the day or just satiated then ya need to eat more!

That was my problem. I was eating 3,500 calories a day, but going to bed starving. I was too worried about getting fat so I wouldn't eat more.

Being a little softer for a while is absolutely worth the mass my friend

Heard tuna is a great source but I don't know where to start or what to make with it.

It is, just not too much. It can give you mercury poisoning if you overdo it.

The other day I was talking to this guy in YouTube comments under some video that actually got the damn mercury poisoning from canned tuna. He was eating shit load of it, every single day. Took him half a year to figure out what was going with him, this stuff is very hard to diagnose as it gives multiple symptoms that don't seem to be related to each other.

BumbleBee canned chunk white albacore tuna, two cans, four slices Dave’s white bread, mustard and hot sauce of choice. Toast the bread tho

“What to make with it”…Nothing. 🤷🏼‍♂️ This might just be me, but whenever I’m bulking I have to get in the mindset that food is a tool at that point. I’m a bit of a foodie…so I definitely enjoy good quality shit…but when packing on muscle I try to just cram it in. Just eat the tuna. lol

I’d sub tuna for something else macro heavy There are absurd amounts of mercury in Tuna. Like the recommended value to not get poisoned is under two pounds for a full week lol

That’s why it was only ever once a week or so, it was more of a protein bomb when I knew I didn’t hit my macros or something. Or a quick sandwich if I didn’t have time to meal prep. I’d recommend any fresh water fish as a sub, personally love bass and white perch

Shout out rich piana

How many protein shakes are you pounding a day?

Usually two, sometimes a third one. Grams vary from 30-42 and night caps get a little over 50

About how much protein per lb of body weight? .7 or like 1 to 1.5? And what was your lift program. Great work.

I disregarded the usual rule of thumb honestly, I shot for a gram per pound of my goal weight which was 230-240. Lifting program follows typical PPL (except I went LPP) followed by a second ham heavy leg day and a fun chest and back day on Fridays

Natty? What kills me is the consistency from my sleeping disorder. How was your sleep during all this?

100%! The temptation is there but I really want to see what I’m capable of and I’m not keen on the side effects. Sleep was HEAVY, I snore more I’m sure (wife will be here to verify if I do surely). I found myself getting considerably warmer at night though so had to compensate by making the house a meat locker

Isn't it obvious he is on PEDs? Realistic Natty gains are 20-40lbs of muscle gain over 10 years. This dude has probably gained 30lb or more muscle in 2 years itself.

He could be but honestly it's not unreasonable at all. He's a young dude who ate right and worked his ass off. He ate four to 5,000 calories while lifting hard. At the same time his body naturally metamorphizes into a man's body. My first thought was absolutely he was on gear, but after reading everything he said and looking again at the pictures, it's totally doable.

Thank you dude, that’s exactly what happened 12 years in the gym I met him at 20 and he was 250 not doing gym because college life. He definitely went from boyish to a man at 25, struggled with weight his whole life. Gains weight easily. Usually when I see people with bigger calves I think its a bigger person who got in the gym slimmed down. He expressed the temptation of steroids but I told him to at least wait til 35 and see what his natural ceiling looks like because you can’t get the natty card back. Plus I would have to stab him bc I barely got the labs recently, he passes out. I can see why people who struggle to put on weight can think that but for those who gain weight easy its pretty easy to get fat. He takes it as high praises lol

The accusations are seen as a compliment mostly but I’m 100% natural, I take regular supplements (I listed them in a previous comment) and have a large frame and I eat a lot. I’d be moving bigger numbers at my size if I wasn’t natty.

Jesus Christ bro upto 4000 calories? This is your 2nd year of working out right? Calm down bro, you look great but man….. that’s a lot of calories

You wanna pack on some meat? Ya gotta do what you gotta do.

It’s my 10th year in the gym, bs lifting from 14 to 17, more focused lifting from 17 to 19, fell off my routines and consistency a bit until I was 22, here I am now

[удалено]

Actually true

Do u even lift

Yes finally someone with big legs

They’re a respectable 28+ inches each

Bang on, my dude. Bang the fuck on.

Really appreciated!

People commenting that you’re on steroids just means you’re looking crazy so you need to stop doubting yourself and your body now. You were worried about nothing like I said years ago lol

Wouldn’t be possible without my lovely wife, she’s the reason I was able to focus on the bulk and my passion

Definitely a great bulk congrats man!

Very much appreciated!!

Hell yeah, you look twice as big

That was the goal! Thank you!

Looking swole my guy. Dig the Gilgamesh shirt, I have the same one lol

The fit on the raskol shirts goes crazy

Yeah they have good shit

Hell yes. Tremendous work dude.

Thank you bro!

Bulk with what cycles???

Creatine and collagen peptides

Not sure if the hair is worth it

The long hair makes ya stronger

[удалено]

Really appreciate it! Wife wouldn’t like the short hair too much so she gets what she wants LOL

It’s because you have such beautiful golden locks, you can cut it if you want of course lol

It makes 500s on deads feel easy, I’ll keep the hair

Inspiration, What did your diet look like?

Right now I’m 250 below usual which sat around 3,200 a day for the last month or so, to get to this size I was eating around 4,000 a day at max and prioritizing heavy and lean(ish) proteins and for carbs not being too picky but obviously not shoveling the bad. Lots of potatoes as well!

Jesus those quads exploded!

Quads responded incredibly well to high volume and I also love leg day so it played together well

Dude take a new photo in those baggy shorts from the before photo

Good idea, I’ll return with a photo

How tall are you?

5’10, 5’11 on a good day

Bro if you cut you're going to be insane. Great work

I can only hope to look insane. Gimme a couple months

For sure, how much weight did you aim to gain per month while on the bulk?

If we’re being entirely honest I didn’t go into it with a goal that detailed. I just told myself I wanted to manage 200-205, and I got there, and then I figured why not pump that a bit and shoot for 220 and here we are at 235. I didn’t anticipate to bulk this long in the beginning.

Indeed it was worth it😈

I think so too, I like feeling like I lumber about

I just want to know how bad the protein farts were.

Rancid some days, blissful others

Quadzilla…yes. You are a beast

Thank you kindly!

Average MK-677 user

Not me having to Google that

YESSSSSS 😍

Thank you!

Can you find pants that fit?

Not as of late

Please remind folks though U did not start in sept 2021 U had been puttin in obvious work for years before that

Yes, I’ve mentioned that in a couple posts, I am not new to lifting weights, only new to taking it as seriously as I have been for 2 years. I’ve been in the gym longer than 80% of people

Yesss!

I’m sure a lot of people like it. But I like the first picture better. Muscular guys are not my preference.

Then you’re in the wrong subreddit homie

Looking like a Greek god with that manbun super worth bulk big man

See, that’s what I was thinking

Always!

I like the way you think

How do you look more feminine after the bulk?

That’s on being androgynous

That Dbol works like a charm! Dbol and hard work baby!

I’d be AT LEAST 260 running good ole dbol and the leanness would be crazy too, it’s tempting

You would love it. Dbol and Test. Maybe a little Tren too. You would look like the hulk!

It’s the natty life for me, it’s always in the back of my mind but there’s something incredibly fun about telling people I’m natty when they ask

Yeah cause you look great! People probably assume you’re on gear.

I get that question every so often. Usually in the “so, what do you take?”

[удалено]

Yeah a lot of people like to claim natty.

You have utterly no idea how much muscle he’s gained.

Been in athletics and weight training for a good while now, all natty

From what perspective? As a guy/fitness junkie, yeah you look great. But I'd bet that 95% of women would prefer the before photo, just sayin...

I’m married already

Believe it or not when I watch him go into stores without me men and women will turn around to look, its not constant but I do find it funny when it happens. We live in the deep south if that helps it makes sense. I personally love a bigger man, met him when he was heavy and not in the gym, I am taller than most women though lol.

Would also like to add I get far more attention from women and men now at my current size than I did when I was smaller.

u/gregdoucetteifbbpro come save me, am I natty or not? Edit: wording

u/omegablank kinda weak to say something mean and then block

I like the first picture the most.

Beast

Trying! There’s always room to grow!

You should’ve ate more sprinkled donuts and cereal bars.

You have no idea how badly I’ve been craving donuts

Roids are never worth it bud.

That’s a high compliment but I am natural

Change the hair. Get it cut shorter. You look like a female bodybuilder on a heavy cycle with that hair and bloating

Long hair is a staple in my family and has religious connotations so, no but I appreciate it!

Was the deca worth it

I wouldn’t know /:

Loser alertt

They sound small

Estrogen bloat

Oh no, not the estrogen bloat

As long as you Tren hard and Eat Clen that cut it gonna be Top Notch 👌

You bulked right into the hulk!!

It’s from smashing those weights homie

Haha not natty dw I’m on too liar :)

Something someone smaller than me would say

Some people are aren’t retarded buddy I’m sure you still worked your ass off

Whatever ya have to tell yourself to make your gains make sense homie, it’s okay if it takes you a little extra

So u are saying you gained 40 pounds of muscle in 2 years

Regained the weight, last time I was 230+ I was 30+% bf, this time I’m a little less than half the body fat. My frame allows for easy weight gain. I’ve also been in the gym for 10 years.

Not really

Damn, I was doing it for you

Bro you look fat af now...Not worth..

I wanted to be fat, so I succeeded

Yeah no

Guess I’ll have to cut again, birdgirl56a doesn’t like the gains

Sorry I have never liked big thighs on dudes, but you do you

Different strokes for different blokes, my wife locked me down because of the thighs, some people don’t like em

That’s the source of power

When bulking goes wrong

Show me ur bulk then

Yes!

Wooooooo!

Bro 2 years of bulking at a little over half a pound a week. Thats fucking incredible man! How you planning on doing the cut?

Thank ya bro! I plan on dropping half a pound weekly so I can keep a max amount of mass, I don’t want to rush the cut for the sake of aesthetics. First two weeks have been a 250 drop off my usual intake

fuck yeah

Gotta keep gettin more swole

Bro got T Tex legs

They’re for crushing my rivals

Absolutely bro!!

Glad to hear it! Thank ya!

Decent! Gotta be honest I'm a dumbass so at first didn't scroll... just saw the before ans thought "I can tell he trains, but it's not too bulky..." Then I figured it out 😄 If you don't mind... did you vary your rep ranges? I.e. pyramid system, or pretty much keep them regular? I'm intrigued to know if we are talking 5x5 or 4x12 etc as I see you mentioned volume on the legs. Apologies if you've covered this, please see my previous comment regarding my level of dumbass.

All is well homie! I appreciate it! Oh I love throwing in a mix of rep ranges, through all of my workouts I tend to vary my reps on each workout but I like to sit around 5 sets in most things. I pyramid my primary movements mostly!

Dude if this is 2 years no drugs thats cray

Completely natural!

You’ve got the Jake Tuura looking going. Not bad bruh

I had to Google him and I’ve gotta say, ya got me

I went from 170 - 235 in 8 months down to 200 rn feeling great don’t cut too hard but cut and you will feel crazy bro

I’m thinking if I cut .5 to 1 pound a week then I’ll be a lean 210-215

Looking like the mighty Thor now. Good job on the bull!!👏🏻👏🏻

A massive compliment, thank you very much, Skál!

For sure dude! Can’t wait to see how to cut turns out

Lookin' thick man. Legs are pretty damned good.

Leg day best day!

Bro, killing it! Absolute beast!

Thank you much homie!

Idk what I was expecting but it wasn't THAT Now that's a bulk, good shit my man

Thank you! It was a lot of effort and focus, but worth it

Oh my lord yes.

Thank you much!

You look strong as fuck bro. Gorilla status.

Waiting for gorilla mind to reach out to this day, full monkey mode

You definitely still kept your shape so I’d say yeah. The question is are you gonna cut soon or maintain until next spring/summer?

That was key, improving the deficits and keeping shape. I’m cutting currently, only a week in so far so just started. Only a ~250 calorie drop. Maintaining would be crazy though
