Holy shit. Thats an amazing transformation
@eazy57.
How much weight did you gain in total?
I actually LOST almost 30 lbs. I was close to 180 in January. It was the fattest bulk I had ever done. I wanted to be big so I ate everything in sight. But you can tell I looked fat. it covered all of the muscle underneath. So I knew I had the size, I needed to lean out and KEEP mass. Anyone can do the simple math by subractiing their body weight percentage to have idea of what you should look like at low double digits. So that was my barometer.
I hover around 150-155 lbs now. Remember, I'm only 5'4". I'm not a very tall guy. I look much much leaner now as shown. I'm down 3 pant sizes. But everyone says I appear bigger. My wife, friends, colleagues all talk about how big I've gotten. But when I tell them I've actually LOST weight, their dumbfounded. My best friend things I'm actually too big. LMAO! Not even close.
So it's living proof that when vets tell you to diet down before taking the drugs that there is method to the madness. I'll never do a winter bulk again. I'll do variations of the keto diet which my wife and I love. But I am going to try and maintain this over the winter. I'm still lifting as heavy as ever as I want to build muscle. Or sculpt my body is more appropriate.
There's a LOT of big guys at any gym. But they all look FAT if you really look. I like where I am, but it's now a starting point for my next 12 months planning. I have 2 target dates, May 24th weekend and my birthday every year. One for summer, one for personal milestones. Turning 50 is a fuck a milestone.
I'm never going back to that previous look. BAD food choices, compounds like Dbol etc just added to the bloat and fucked up look. My opinion is now to do the driest compounds my body can tolerate. Dbol may be good if you're very lean. But if you're over 15% I wouldn't bother.
Then again it depends on what your goals are. If you're a power lifter you're not going to care. If you're like me and want to look good.. you might.
The best thing about it is at my masqurade party this weekend, things got pretty wild. I was sweating my as off so my wife tripped off my shirt and told me to show it off since I worked so hard for it. next thing you I had a bunch of my friends wives all wanted to touch my body telling my wife how hot I was. One even wanted to bite my tits! LMAO
Even better, on Monday my wife was back in the gym for the 1st time in 6 months. She said she wanted to look as good as me and be sexy and hot for me. That she loved being with me and got turned on knowing other women found me hot. Trust me, I love my wife and I would NEVER pressure her into the gym. I'd still bury myface in her bum if she was 200 lbs. But I did tell her that if you want to feel good about yourself, improve your confidence, and feel sexy,, it's a great way to do it. I think she may have just caught the bug. ? And to me, that's the greatest reward.
