actually this is a lie, it should read past ½ a year, the other half was spent dream bulking to 200lbs, lots of fat, then i spent summer not going to the gym, and dropped down to 170lbs, the pic is me as of last august/september, around 170 and 12% estimated (left)
on the right is a poor quality pic of me last week after a workout and contracting my abs, so may not be the best representing pic but that's what i'm playing with now, stats 186lbs at 15% estimated with self-performed 3 spot caliper test
(btw seems like my hair regimen is working haha) and those freakin pecs, they dont grow *sigh*
diet for last bulk
checking my logs, i had an average of 3500 calories, 420g carbs, 110g fats, 220g proteins
got my protein through eggs, chicken, beef, fish, and protein powder
got most fats from almonds, walnuts and olive oil
got carbs with oats, 12 grain bread, lots of rice, pasta, fruits, and dextrose+maltodextrin post-workout
multivitamin, tried to get vegetables but i'd be lazy on this, and was on creatine monohydrate
and 6-12 months? to pack on 15lbs lean mass? i thought it would take a couple years since i've been training for some time now, my time frame was hopefully to reach my goal in 1-2 years, also i tend to pack on fat easily, so im guessing the 14lbs muscle gain would come with more than 4lbs fat, unless i bulk veryy slowlyy, coming to think of it, 1lbs per month seems realistic, just seems so far away though, and the theory about "you gain less muscle each year you workout" is mind****ing me
