i am 18 years old. 6ft 3in tall and am up to about 170 lbs. I just graduated from high school and am going to college at the end of the month 0_o. Hopefully it doesn't screw up my newly acquired bodybuilding lifestyle. speaking of which...

I started working out at the end of June, really wanted to not be small and skinny anymore. Thought i should start in summer so i wasn't a complete pussy in college. So I've been working out for about two months now, and its going great. im seeing all kiindddz of gains, after reading a lot of info on here and other places. I've developed this ^^ workout myself. Don't yell at me please, it works for me so i will continue to do it until it fails me. I started out at about 155 lbs.

I have been bulking basically my entire life, but since i started working out ive cleaned up my diet. No more soda/chips/mcdonalds/candy/ very very limited sweets like doughnuts/ice cream. I've been eating healthy and eating a lot. It's working so far.

Sleep has been small. 5-6 hours per night. I realize i should get more but i hate wasting the time. anyone else?

Supplements:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bo...y-protein.html
and this http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/be...re-powder.html but i havent taken any yet, and i figured i would wait until college.


Here are some pics of me.

the first two "skinnys" are one of me when i was about 13, and the other spring break of my senior year. Yes i realize i was very skinny, and still am, i am not saying im big in any way lol. I just wanted to show where i started. I literally could not gain weight no matter what i did.

The other two i just took today. All picks are cold, and one is unflexed.

If anyone is feeling generous.... BF estimation? thanks

yeah i think thats about it, ill add more if i think of something i wanted to say.

Was gonna do Arnold Press last, but could barely do the motion without weights so i decided to not do it. I decided i was going to take a couple exercises that were not really "needed" for this time and save them for later like when i hit a plateau. Arnold press will be one. I will put these exercises in my first post to remind me of them later.

Took the weight off my squats and decided to go balls deep and realized i wasn't even getting close to parallel, was only getting knees to just about 90 degrees. So today i was going down below parallel, and could even see up my shorts in the mirror lolzzz. So i'll cut the weight off and get my form down then put the weight back on. Felt good, left my ego at the door. Even got my buddy to take a video, might post later.
