Over the years and thru the goods. Pic update

**Lavinco** · 02-09-2006, 08:41 PM

Actually this is just a quick update.

A few years ago I was 135lbs, trying to get huge.
then I took some time off and started working out again last Oct. 1st.
Did 4 weeks of dbol and went up to 174lbs from 155.

November I was trying my best to keep what I gained.

December I moved and started taking Test E. Got through almost 6 weeks and decided to quit for personal reasons. (Having my first child)

Currently I am done with PCT and maintain a weight of 167lbs at 5'8"

I am now changing my diet to cut a little while still bulking.

In a couple of months I will cut it up and try to chizzle out a little doing it the "all natural way"

Maybe in a year or so I will hit juice again when I am more ready and if I do, it will be balls to the wall then!

My legs are scrawney. They have gained 2 inches over the last few months but I still hate to post them and become everyones target.
I will have pics of legs when I have a little more improvement.
They are not neglected in my workout routine.

I think my hard work and dedication actually did most of the work. Dbol mostly motivated me and I must admit give me some serious strength.

Thanks for the comments!

I think you just need to eat and not overtrain,you are a natural ectoporph..I would say train like a powerlifter 3 x week and eat everything in site and sleep whenever you can and you will grow.
Goodluck

I just seen this...

No disrespect bro,but there is no reason for you to cut.theres nothing really to cut.concentrate on bulking for a good yr or so then re-evaluate then.

I agree with DEVLDOG...you have made some great progress so far, but you do not have much to "cut". I would add some more mass and worry about cutting when you have some more mass to show off...

Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice.

My main reason for wanting to cut a little is the bloat in my face (which is not seen in the pics)

So do you still think I should bulk, bulk and bulk? When should I cut? At 200lbs?

**PLAYA4LIFE** · 02-10-2006, 03:16 PM

u tryin to become a bodybuilder? if not, then don't bulk it is a lot of work and if you are just a normal person it is not worth it.

Everything worth doing is a lot of work.

Last time i checked.. a 'bodybuilder' is someone trying to 'build his body'.. thus we are each bodybuilders.

Lavinco.. follow D-Dog's advice.. it's sound.

i kinda agree to this. Bust a$$ but u dont need to spend tons of money on food and supps. I have fun doing this. im not a "pro" bodybuilder and dont wish to be one so i train and eat as a hobby not a second job.

**Lavinco** · 02-10-2006, 05:52 PM

I recently found that I have type 2 diabetes and want to be healthy and look great while doing it.

It's always been a dream of mine to look like a pro bodybuilder but I lacked what it took to become like that.

Now I have chosen to use my illness to motivate me to stick with the goals I set.
So far it is working along with what I have learned from here.

**PLAYA4LIFE** · 02-10-2006, 06:14 PM

never said nothing was not worth doing because it was a lot of work but what I'm saying is someone shouldn't really go throught bulking and cutting unless they are trying to become a bodybuilder who competes and yes narkissos I don't feel like hearing your definition of bodybuilder because you know what I mean. Why bulk up when it is not necessary, causes health risks, etc. if you're not trying to become and competing bodybuilder?

Sorry man no disrespect but i dont understand this statement???? If its his passion and he loves to work out why the hell wouldnt he fully dedicate himself????

Theres a quote here i think you should listen to bro...."ANYTHING worth dong is worth OVERDOING" haha cheezy but think about it

What health risks? How 'unhealthy' is it to add 500 kcals to your maintenance kcal-intake?

I think you've confused 'bulking up' with getting obese.

There IS a difference man.
