**Transformation** How I got from 150lbs to 210lbs **PICS**

[jerry.]

Well I guess everyones goal is to one day post a tansformation thread about how you went from skinny to buff, so Im gonna do mine! First all, Im 6'2 pure ectomorph, I was 150lbs about 4 years ago. Alot of people ask me how I did it? People ask me all the time if I juiced? The answer is no, Im a natural bber. What it takes is alot of hard work! duh..

I figured out there's 2 things you must do to get big!

1) Diet is #1- End of story. If you wanna get big and ripped you gotta have this down. Researching on the net and reading books is a great way to educate yourself. When I first started I didn't know anything about lean mass diets, so the first year I trained I just ate whatever! But the turning point is when you start killin your diet! You notice the difference right away.

2)Consitency- I have worked out for 4 years and learned everything along the way from the internet, books and mags etc. But the key is to consistenly go to the gym, don't miss workouts! Take 2-3 weeks off a year, but when its go time, just do it! Don't miss meals. Consistently eat 6 meals or more a day. Don't get down if you do miss one, just make sure you get 6 the next day.

Ofcourse there's more stuff like workout programs and supplements that can help you along the way but those are easier to learn. Once you learn about having a great diet and being consistent with everything, you'll grow! I have only really had a good diet for about a year now, before I was progressing well but never really committed to 6 meals a day.

Here are some pics. I plan to put more up soon as Im currently cutting. I will also look for a better before photo, I never really took a pic when I started. The back double bi is last summer and Ive added some nice size since then. New pics will be up shortly! If you have any questions let me know!

I try to stay somewhat lean all the time. As an ecto I feel Im one of those guys who doesn't need to be 230 @ 16% bf in the offseason, Id rather be 210 @ 9-10%.. I don't count calories but i keep track of my meals, and I know what I need to eat to gain weight or lose it. Here's an example of what i might eat on a bulk...

meal 1- 25g whey, 8 pasturized egg whites, 16oz milk, handful of strawberries, 1 cup of oats blended up

meal 2- Bowl of wheat pasta approx 8-10oz, 1 can of salmon

meal 3- 50g whey, 16oz of milk, 1cup of oats, 2 tbs of almond butter

meal 4- 8-10 oz chicken breast, bowl of cherrios or rice or pasta

meal 5- 1 cup of oats, 1 can of salmon, a few strips of cheese

meal 6- meal 3 repeat

Sometimes I have time for a 7th meal which would be a similar combination of the above. I also get subway alot during bulks. Basically I mix and match any good protein source with a good carb source

wow nice transformation man, how much were you benching and squating when you first started , and how much do u do now ? curious

thanks man hmm for bench probly 95-115lbs for some reps, now i could handle 225x12.. 275x3 is my max... Squat was probly 135 back in the day.. now I handle 315lbs for reps

get those leg pics up

Will do!

Very impressive and encouraging man, Im trying to put on some mass right now, and its good to see someone who was like me that made it far. Good luck.

[Robbyrh10]

Great job man, Any chance of posting up your workout routine. Would be interesting to see. Once again well done!

Thank you. My workouts are continueously switched up. I either do a 5 day spilt or a push/pull/legs routine. I switch between the two every 6-8 weeks. Each workout i focus alot of my time on freeweights and compound movements. I found that this works best for me. I experiement with some things I read about like slower rep speeds and stretching ect. Like a typical back day for me is, Pulldowns, Deadlifts, BBRows, T Bars, Reverse grip pulldown, Cable Rows. I do 1 warm up set then 3 heavy sets of 6-12 reps. But try and find what works best for you.

You hulked out huge, man! Great job! What's next? 250? :-)

I don't even think 250 is possible for me. I couldn't eat that much! Thanks alot, lookin huge as well. (no homo)

You look great! Tiny ass waist (especially for 6'2") and a wide, excellent-looking back. Keep it up man.

[JamesMUSCLE]

[jerry.]

wooow good work man!!

Thanks alot!

Thank you! I think my back is my best body part, as for my waist, when my bf gets low its really small, love it! My weaknesses are lack of chest/shoulder thickness, and legs/calves. Always improving tho

awesome transformation man. what's your current BF%?

Thank you. I think im around 10% bf now.

[poltaction]

You look like your 10 in that before photo lol.

Nice progress!

[WhatMACHI]

Thats awesome stuff. How did you organise your meals throughout the day?

I find it difficult to hit the 5-6 meal mark regularly, mostly because i just dont wake up early enough to fit that extra meal in, in addition to the fact that when i go to uni i cant afford to pay for 2-3 outside meals (im working on food that i can pack to uni so save some $$ )

[markfromaurora]

Good Progress

[hulkinout]

I don't even think 250 is possible for me. I couldn't eat that much! Thanks alot, lookin huge as well. (no homo)

Don't shortchange yourself, bro. I used to think 175 was impossible for me... then 200... then 225... my top so far is 240, so go figure...

Go (and GROW) for it!

[tiger04]

You bro pic is sic bro. Shows great definition and size. Few ?s, how long did it take you to get it like that; do u plan to post a dbl back bi, a side chest, etc.? Subscribed!

[m4gs]

Look great man thats awesome progress. And I rep you for making sure everyone knows DIET is first!

Anyone can obviously get to any weight they like, however you will be carrying alot of fat when getting 210+. He said he likes to stay leaner just like he went from 170-210 in 4 years its goin to take just as long or even longer to get 220-230 lean like he is now. Packing on fat to 280 and cutting down is another way, but hes tryin to stay lean.

Oh, I understood that. I think some guys needlessly limit themselves sometimes about gaining size (lean or otherwise). But thanks for trying to clarify. Your thoughts were well-intended.
