I'm not taking steroids but I found this forum a while ago when I was researching steroids to see whether or not I would do them. I didn't end up doing them (couldn't even get them), but I found everyone on here very knowledgable and extremely helpful, something I haven't found on other body building forums. So I hope you don't mind that I post my progress on here.
I have been seriously lifting again the last month and I wanted to post up my progress so far, and hopefully in another month I'll be able to post up some more progress pictures. I've been taking a lot of pics to keep myself motivated.
So far I have gone from 78.5kg to 82kg in 1 month of lifting. So I've gained 3.5kg (7.7lbs). I really don't think I've gained any fat but you can take a look at the pics and tell me what you think.
I think my gains are mainly due to muscle memory from last time I was a similar weight. My strength increase has been awesome. I've gone from a max of 70kg (154lbs) bench to a 2 rep max of 90kg (198lbs). My bicep curls have gone from 5 reps at 18kg (40lbs) each arm to 25kg (55lbs). Same for my shoulder press. So I'm really happy with my results so far.
Also my body type is ectomorph, and I'm 6ft 1.5".
I know I have a lot more work to do, but here's the pictures so far.
1st two pics is no flexing. 2nd two pics is flexing. Before and after 1 month.
