My 4.5 year transformation, ask me anything (pics)

[Xfit14]

Before: 119-130 lbs (pics are 130, I was 119 months before, one month after recovering from anorexia, I went from 180-119 in three months)

Ill start by saying bodybuilding is not my goal. I did not spend the majority of my time trying to get huge.

I was anti social and depressed. I lost a lot of my friends because I let the way I looked change my attitude.




After: 190 lbs. I stopped bodybuilding and started doing crossfit. It's not for everyone and no it is not optimal to drastically increase your muscle mass. It's great for fitness, co-ordination, strength, agility, etc. I love it.

My life has drastically improved. I've come out of my shell, I'm confident, I get hit on a lot (just two nights ago some girl I never met before have me her number without saying anything).





Honestly, choose a goal and stick with it. You will slip up along the way but use it as motivation. Use your failures to push you towards your final goal.


I pretty much eat whatever I want. I keep grains and wheat to a minimum just for the sole reason that they go through heavy genetic modification and mass production and it just doesn't seem healthy to me. I eat LOTS of fruit, vegetables, meats, nuts, etc.

As for on/off days, I usually do 3-5 working days with one day of rest.


I'm posting this to motivate and inspire anyone who is a beginner or struggling, as seeing how hard work can pay off did for me.

I don't want to be compared to zyzz. He never reached his peak since his life was cut short and he cycled, something I haven't and won't do.

[Xfit14]

Looking good bro. Keep it up.

Thanks a lot brother!

[comps]

[Nate904]

[Josnyder]

Congrats dude! Very encouraging! I have more or less the same problem I'm 140 and I can't gain any weight! But the little I have is skin, bones, and muscle, so thanks for the encouragement. Check out my after pic if you want, took that yesterday.

Strong 1 year progress misconception.

[speedjason]

[m1sio]

You look fantastic bro! You look incredible fit and healthy.

If I may ask, what are your fitness goals for 2013? Gain more mass? Increase fitness?

[Xfit14]

Grats OP, improving mental state and fitness is more important than looking huge imo.

[Jaybo82]

I bet he is fit well done. I wish to have a body like this soon but I only have less than 2 years, 550 days left lol. I was wondering what is the fastest way. I just re-started training 3 weeks ago after have a bad case of reactive arthritis which I was 56kg half a year ago and lost a lot of my muscle. I am now 74kg and getting better. I just eat heaps of good food and do Rocco Oppedisano bodybuilding beginners routine. Does body building work to get a body like this then do fitness/cutting later?

anyway I am proud you have gotten confidence and hope to see some more progress

Grats OP, improving mental state and fitness is more important than looking huge imo.

My life is so much better, I'm always happy now. I've got a great social and family life now

Thanks man

[Punjabiii]

Just look like your an average healthy guy, if thats an achievement for you, well done.

It's not trolling. You're on a BODYBUILDING site. Forgive us for not being impressed that you can do 10 burpees and a double under.
