16 Month Progress

[AHol]

Hey everybody, i began to lift around 16 months ago when i was diagnosed with type one diabetes. When i was diagnosed, the doctor told me that diabetes would prevent me from doing certain things. This really motivated me and i began my journey. As i developed my passion for lifting and nutrition, i figured out that one of my goals is to compete and get as far as i possibly can. Any advice or comments are welcome. Thanks everybody

Impressive gains in solid mass indeed brother. Well done on your using your diagnosis as a tool to reinvent your body rather than letting it be an obstacle. And don't be afraid to smile in your current pics, you've got a lot to be proud of.

Great job! What was your diet like? Did you count calories to only be slightly above maintenance or did you just eat like a man? You do not seem to have gained much fat at all.
