hi, I included this in my introduction in the general chat forum.. but I figured I'd post here too since it involves pictures..

started off at 130lbs when I was 16-17

after about a year, I got up to 150lbs

by the time I was 19, I've bulked my way up to 196lbs but I can't seem to find a picture of me..

I decided I didn't really like being that big and eating 4400+ calories a day.. and I chose to cut down..


currently I am 173lbs and I would say fairly lean (not sure, I've been told I am anywhere from 6% to others saying I'm 12%), maintaining it on a 3000-3400 calorie diet

that's the gist of it  

Do you usually take a day off in between workouts or is that 3 days in a row.

I've been trying to rest more lately so I've been resting a day in between workouts sometimes. I think it's helping me build. I think I've over trained in the past. Tough thing is making myself get rest and not go to the gym. I get feeling good and want to go everyday. It's always kept me in good shape but I've plateued and haven't been able to build anymore muscle.

I'm about your size so it's helpful to see what works for you.

those three days are out of the week, so it's a day b/w each workout, and two after the third day..

I also take a whole week off every 8-10 weeks  

any supps?

How much time do you usually spend in the gym each day?  

[QUOTE=Aric Gant;91703]any supps?

just the basics.. protein, bcaa's, creatine ethyl ester, taurine..

and I take some chocamine, idebenone, and acetyl l-carnitine for pre-workout..

I spend about 60-80 minutes in the gym each time.. used to be 45-60 minutes.. but I seem to make more progress when I take longer breaks b/w sets  

Good stuff!...very encouraging brother.  

Nice wheels bro! Sorry 4 taking long to reply. Very nice balance on overall build!! Keep up the good work!:thumbs:  

thanks for the compliments! things like this get me motivated!  

You are looking good, so you are obviously on the right road! Nice work and keep it up my friend!  

That's my ultimate goal. a really healthy medium in all aspects. Inspirational.

Now that + a sick vert and it would be game over for me.  

good progress. youre alot higher than 6% but in good condition.
