That is an incredible transformation for only 10 months! Great work!!!

40 lbs in 3 months…humm. What did you use?

Not knocking your development because I don’t care about aas use or not, but I’m wondering how you can get 40 lbs in 3 months.

Are your measurements in cm or inches?

Rock, if i remember correctly from his last thread, i think muscle memory could have had atleast a little bit to do with it.

Yes, if he had an extra 30 lbs of muscle from the past it would come back in 4 months of good lifting and nutrition. 40 lbs in 3 months is insane even for a newbie on AAS!

Measurements in inches.

The massive weight increase even surprised me. Basically, I just hit it hard as I could, and fed my face with as much food as I could get my hands on.

As for AAS, since January, I have done just 1 short 8 week cycle, this was during the months of June and July. Followed by full on effort to maintain gains, which I beleive I have achieved.

Maybe Jan 2008 I will do another short cycle. I strongly believe that you benefit most from long off periods, where you gain back any losses before hitting it again. Most ppl i know can’t do this, it fucks them up mentally, and as soon as they drop a couple of pounds they are straight back. They seem to loose the ability to train naturally. I for 1 do not intend to loose this ability, and will only use AAS as a little bit of icing on the my big cake.

Wow, can’t believe it has been November 2007 since I last posted here. I have decided to compete, got 10 weeks left. This is what I look like now:

Great work man, legs are lagging a bit though since you did post this on RMP.

Looks like you have continued to work hard since you last posted.

Have you read The Mighty Stu’s thread in the bodybuilding forum? Called ‘Countdown to first contest’. If you’ve not read it, I would def check it out. Like you he had trained for a long time before competing and there is a wealth of info in there about how he cut down…and he won 4 trophys in his first contest too!

i’ve been transforming as well. i bet you get the comments i am getting along the lines of some people saying you are built while others say you have lost some weight. you are generally mesomorphic so even though it’s obvious you have dropped BF, the transformation is especially evident in your face on pick 3 and 4.

great job!

you are looking like an older football player in your updated pics =D
