Hello T-Nation

Hi,

I’m a begginer, started 6 months ago, I was 5’7 150lbs … Now I’m still 5’7 (haha) 180lbs Bodyfat at 7-8%

Supplements ? Glutamine before bed and protein powder, that’s it that’s all. I’ve tried a lot, all i gotta say = waste of money.

Damn. 30 pds of muscle in 6 months? Very impressive. I must say I am a bit skeptical, I mean, even for a beginner that’s pretty insane.

Before the 6 months, I was boxing and 1-2 times a week weight sescions, but no legs at all, only some few bicpeps curls and bench press … Diet was shit also lol … So with the diet + a complete workout including legs, gaining weights as been succesful ! I have no other secrets, I know that the 185lbs bar will be hard to break but I will ! haha, after we’ll see …

What’s even more insane is that he ended up at single digit bodyfat%. I’m a bit skeptical too but it looks like a solid program/diet so I won’t call bullshit.

I gotta try those “Lounges”, sounds very restful…

For the bodyfat, little secret here, it’s an approximation ! A mix between what we see and this weird machine that you must hold in your hand lol, the machine says 7.x% I say 7-8% that’s all haha

For the lunges … great coumpounds move if you want my idea ^^

Another thing, why would I have to justify myself ? I just tell you what are my own results, what would it bring me to lie here ? That subject is just to introduce myself so huh. I’m not a 13 years ols girl pretending to bench 400lbs !

Have a nice day and I’ll keep you update every month (for my stats) !

There just an inevitable increase of people who claim to be what they aren’t when they’re under the impression that everybody else here skipped the beginning part of lifting and was just born benching twice their body weight. But good for you making damn decent progress and being committed. And oh my you realized that supplements+potato chips+Law&Order doesn’t add muscle too. Quite strange :stuck_out_tongue:
