my 18 month transformation

[cjyoung90]

Just wanted to share with you guys how much of an impact bodybuilding/ weight lifting has made in my life. 18 months ago I was 21 years old with clinical depression and life threatening drug/alcohol dependence. When I got clean and sober I decided to seriously devote myself to changing my lifestyle and gaining both confidence in myself and discipline. To, do so I began to exercise on a daily basis and strive for self improvement (both physical & mental). This mentality has stuck with me, and I'm extremely proud of what I've managed to accomplish in the past year an a half. Weightlifting has allowed me to turn my life around and I owe it a great debt. I'm 5'11 185 LBS All Natural, and loving life

Day 2 Chest & triceps

Incline bench press 4 x (6-8)

Day 6- rest

Day 7 begin anew

hope this helps, and to the hater go crawl back in your hole. just because I work hard for my conditioning does not automatically make me a steroid user. No point in arguing tho, I'm content in the knowledge that my physique came solely from hard work and a strict diet.

Closed thread after I seen

"all natural"

[hertog]

Damn, thats sick. Great job

[RippedAnt]

Why is it that it can't be natural?

[Brohamsteak]

if your going to do steroids at least admite it don't act natty dude lol.

This, that's complete bull****.

Not saying it didn't take effort and hard work to make those gains, but no way in hell is this natural.

[cmAcbrah]

incredible. thats more like a 3 year transformation tho, if ur working hard every day.



inb4 OP has god genetics

[StainGlassBrain]

No expert, but I find it impossible to believe that this is natural; if it is, this would be the greatest transformation of all time.

If that's the case, then well done and take it as a compliment.

But I'm not going to lie - never seen any natural transformation like that.

The only possibility is that you're a natural mesomorph, and that your drug dependence prior to your transformation had resulted in the skininess.

In that case you might have been 20lbs underweight because of, say, amphetamine, and then gained back not just your regular physique but the gains on top of that.

Who knows.

Like I say, just take it as a compliment if it's real that people think it isn't.

What did you weigh before the transformation?
