Why I Started
At the Age of 16 I weighed 12.5 stone and was naturally unhappy with my weight. After dieting I managed to get down to a measly 127 pounds. Of course this meant I was unhealthly, underweight, and my diet was to blame. I didn't do cardio, I just ate less and less until I became what you see in the 'before' picture.
I soon realized that I needed to put weight on fast to look normal - My first gym session was on February 19 of this year. I stepped out of the gym feeling like a different person, knowing that I could achieve my goal of getting to 175 pounds.

How I Did It
I started off training all body parts 3 times per week and it worked really well for me, I was piling the weight on. However I came to a standstill when I stopped gaining weight. Then I decided to change my routine to train each body part just once a week and although results have been slower since changing my routine, they have become more consistent.
I do a 3-day split with 20-minutes of cardio on a Saturday (bearing in mind that this is my bulking routine) - I perform 3 sets of each exercise with a rep range of 6-8 on the first two sets and training to failure on the last.

Diet
A typical bulking diet of mine would be: (I aim to drink 8 pints of water a day)
- 7:00 Protein supplement
- 8:00 2 Boiled Eggs, 1 Bread
- 9:30 1 Tuna Sandwich
- 11:30 Protein Bar
- 13:00 1 Tuna Sandwich
- 15:00 (post workout - Protein supplement w/ 3 dextrose tablets)
- 17:00 Bowl of High Calorie Cereal and 2 fruit.
- 19:00 Chicken Breast Fillet w/ Veg (roast dinner)
- 21:00 Low Fat Yoghurt
- 22:00 1 Small can of Tuna
Conclusion
In less than 9 months I have managed to put on 35 pounds. I am happy with my progress but I am still far from my target goals and I realize that I will have to improve my training and diet further to get to where I want to be.
