5'11" journey from 120 to 180 lbs (pics)

**Mattloljk** · 02-08-2012, 10:08 PM

About 9 months ago I was 120 lbs (left) then picked up a 6 day split and 3500 cal diet, best decision of my life. Sitting just under 170 lbs atm, bulking to 180 lbs/May 1st then I'm cutting to 7% bodyfat

Evidently these are my current stats (got tested like a week ago) Not sure how accurate this is, would have guessed at least 13% BF

At 18 years old, should I take EC stack when I cut? Or should I just rely on cardio and calorie deficit (measly reps for answers)

Well done on the great progress.

I would just do cardio and calorie deficit since your body fat isn't really high.

Ty, any guesses on how long it will take to cut from about 12% BF to 7% BF?

7% for my personally is really hard to get to. I would say a couple of months. Try bulking quickly, and maybe you'll make it for late summer.

Btw, if your in university and have some friends in kines, they usually have much better bf% machines.

I got tested at my local supp shop, they had a scale I stood on barefoot. Doesn't seem too legit to me, but w/e lol.

Damn, was hoping it would be about a month long cut, lol. Would EC stack speed it up? Or is it not worth taking any of the risks involved

Cutting varies from person to person, so it might take shorter than my estimate.

I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole based on the fact that it has ephedrine.

Good progress man! Im trying to bulk up to around 180 right now too.

**m4ttarama** · 02-09-2012, 12:39 AM

Bulk to 220 or more. Bulk until you are so fat you just cannot stand it. Srs. Do not f*cking cut at 180 you will hate yourself after

If you cut then go for a little over 7%, (ie 8-10%), rather than 7%, which is pretty low.

**rmsprs** · 02-09-2012, 02:41 AM

you are my hero. ****ing awesome transformation, I have almost the same body stats, you used to have 9 months ago....MOTIVATION LEVEL EPIC

**comps** · 02-09-2012, 04:17 AM

Probably around 13% bf.
Sub 10%, is fairly difficult to get/maintain.
You should be able to lose about 2%bf/3weeks at your current weight, give or take a few days.

Thanks brah. Best advice I've ever gotten on bb.com is "eat more *******", so do that and keep lifting heavy =p

Thanks for the info. If I'm bulking on 3500 should I cut on about 2500?

comps knows what hes doing.

**dTm2411** · 02-09-2012, 01:13 PM

Sick transformation OP!
Kinda starting out like you but just at 136 lbs, and 180 is my goal aswell

**danthamansky** · 02-09-2012, 01:42 PM

I guess you could say I've been dirty bulking... I eat a lot of frozen pizzas, pot stickers, canned beans, mcdonalds, lol.

I do a 6 day split. Chest, Arms, Legs, Shoulder, Back, Compound Lift Day (bench, squat, clean and press)

Good job OP!
