I started my weightlifting journey about 2 years ago give or take. I started at a skinny 130 lbs, I proceeded to bulk until I hit about 205.
I decided at this point it was time to get cut. It took me about 6 months but I finally got down to a weight and bodyfat I could appreciate, 156 lbs with 6.3% bodyfat (tested by ultrasound).
I figured I'd share my progress as I am very satisfied with it.
Thanks to everyone who gave me any advice or tips.
I posted my before (130) pic and my before (205) pic along with where I am now.

Good bulk man, you must've looked like a human bowling ball at 5'5" 205. haha

Amazing job! How long did you bulk to get from 130-205? That's an insane amount of weight to gain. Must've ate in a surplus well above 20% every day, right?

Thanks man, I'll try to get those up asap.
Thanks guys
Thanks man, I could but your macros will be much different than mine, look around here at bodybuilding.com you'll find all the info you need.
Thanks!
I changed my workout constantly so there was no specific plan I was on. I always lift within the 8-12 rep range, always to failure.
Thanks man
I believe it was about 18 months, and I was at about 4000 calories towards the end, probably too much for my body type.
Thats a very broad question, pm me if you have any specific questions.
Thanks, I'll to to get one up asap.
Yes, what don't you understand?
Thanks man!
I think it was somewhere around 25%
I'm going to do my best at a lean bulk, while staying below 7%
Thanks guy!
I did lose a little strength but not much, I always made sure I had enough protein and ate every 2-3 hours.
I was thinking about it, but I start school in January so I wont have time. Thanks!
lol no I'm natty, wouldn't post this if I wasn't.
Thanks man.
