24 y/o natural

[flyguy7]

Few progress pics for you guys, first couple are from summer 2 years ago ('07, right after college). I've been lifting pretty steadily since then, it's tough at times with the job and all keeping everything in check, and recently i've started classes on top of that, which makes it even harder.
24 years old, 5'9, a bit under 180. Natural, never cycled anything but creatine, though i've considered jumping into something in the near future. Throw any comments or criticisms at me, let me know what I should work on for the next year. I'm starting a bulk and have been cruising the diet and supp forums heavily trying to learn some new tricks.

-oh, and sorry for the horrible tan lines

[flyguy7]

few more... last one is with my younger brother

[amcon]

great job... tell the noobs that would like to look like you how you did it?

diet

training

any thing else

[ENraged]

What would you say your rough mental image of your desired weight looks like as you are starting to bulk I like to ask these things.

[DDDNTZ]

You have an awesome physique bro well done. Nice wheels, hows your back? If anything I'd say bring up your chest a bit. But overall you look pretty well ballanced.

[CHAP]

I f****IN love it MAN.

Diet and a great workout can pay off.

[KatsMeow]

You have done a lot naturally, Impressive ...congrats

I would agree that the area's you should aim for improvement in are chest and calves

But keep up the good work!

[seriousmass]

Very, very impressive. Keep up the good work man! Very defined & thick biceps

Good thickness in the legs. Impressive wheels.

What's your BF%? if you know.

... P.S. wicked bad farmers tan man!!! (pic 2 in the 2nd set of pics = too funny)

Keep up the hard training

[Free Will]

well done bro ....i can only imagine what you will look like after a cycle ...wowzerz ....im no expert on steroids but the word is the best cycle to start out with is test for 12 weeks at 500mg a week running pct 2 weeks after last injection with nolav and clomi ...ive just started on my first cycle last week of test and im looking forward to every training session even more now , it makes you train harder and because you know what you have pumping through you it gives you more insentive ...but anyway im rambling here ...great job again and post pics when you start your cycle ...peace ...

[jrmy]

looking great bro,if i were you,id keep training a while longer before any cycles.great work!

[JinNtonic]

Just add a cycle of suntan and you will look even better... lol Just bustin balls.

[energizer bunny]

nice work mate...

Hey guys thank you so much for the kind words. As for the chest and calf comments, don't I know it, I've tried like crazy to get these to grow. Just bad genetics really, but I'm trying to switch up my workouts a bit and hit them at a new angle, maybe jump start something.
Honestly I probably won't experiment with gear for awhile, but it does get discouraging not being able to put on size the way you could when you were younger, despite workout harder and eating better.

no idea on the bf% serious, i've never been good at guessing that type of thing

[ty357]

looking real good bro. very lean

[c-Z]

Looking good man..... Your diet must be pin point 100% accurate.... Good size... If you were ever to consider going to the dark side..... You will become a beast bro... 100%... You will pass t-mos in a cycle or two.

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

lookin lean bro keep it up

[flyguy7]

Thanks again for the comments. c-Z I wouldn't say my diet is pinpoint accurate at all, but I try to always keep it in check. Doesn't take long for your coworkers to love you for the bag of chicken you bring into work everyday, and sometimes pour 6 cups of garlic salt into your tub of oatmeal.
I'll definitely have the dark side on my mind in the next few months, I was just telling a friend last night he's going to need to convince me to stay natty, as he is, cuz lately i've just been feeling like putting on some serious size again

[c-Z]

Well whether or not it's pin point accurate.... Your obviously doing something right. Keep that up man.. you look excellent. This is definitely a good example for those newer guys who want steroids right away to take the easy way out..

[Lightsout2184]

u look awesome bro. ur hard work and dedication has paid off. u also have some great genetics.

[Deltasaurus]

u look good. r u naturally lean?

[flyguy7]

u look good. r u naturally lean?

what ur cardio like?

Nah I've always had to watch my carb intake pretty closely, but I was always active too, even before I started lifting, so that helps. Cardio for this past cut was mostly based around my schedule, regularly on wed., sat. and sunday (non lifting days) for about 45-1hour. Sometimes I'd go for 25 minutes after a lift, but that was rare, as I was doing a high volume workout routine that was pushing past 1.5-2 hours working out already.

[Tigershark]

Great work.

[PIGPEN8181]

excellent job, keep it up man.

please dont use the words bad genetics in relation to any of those NATTY pix you posted!!!!! lol...seriously though, you look great man...what a shred! im sure changing your chest workouts around and doing some experimentation will give u a boost...and yeah, like everybody else said...you, on gear....that will be a WOW....keep up the good work

[Epic1]

[flyguy7]
