Why I Got Started
dot

I finally realized I didn't want to be the token fat guy. I started to see the world of fitness and bodybuilding all around me and realized I needed to become a part of it. It was also something to keep me from getting bored in my free time.

How I Did It
dot

I started at the age of 16, at 160 pounds with basically no muscle mass at all, and for about a year I aimed sloppily at losing weight and gaining the usual "beach muscles." I had found some information on the Bodybuilding.com forum about losing fat (my original intent), but stumbled upon some photos in the pictures section where I realized I needed to change my priorities and get into bodybuilding. Around 17 I started taking things seriously, eating at a clean caloric surplus and training each muscle as hard as possible.

Supplements

Diet
dot

My diet usually consists of 5 eggs/4 slices of turkey bacon/whole grain bread upon waking up.

Grilled chicken breast, steak and lean chop meat throughout the day, with red potatoes and celery.

3 protein shakes throughout the day, natural peanut butter between meals, and milk throughout the day.

When cutting I drop most of the dairy and eat less carbs.

Suggestions For Others

Train frequently but train smart. Remember that results come outside of the gym, not inside it, and that diet and rest are just as important as lifting.
