one year transformation from skinny fat to fit

[masterfizz]

First time I'm ever posting anything here, just wanted to see how I am doing so far. The picture on the right is in March 2014 towards the end of my senior year and almost 18, and the picture on the left is end of freshman year in college and I am 19. I know I gotta start bulking up pretty hard after the summer ends

Really good transformation in just a year. What is your weight now and what sort of training/diet have you been following?

well i was around 165 pounds when i started in march. Like any other beginner, just started with eating whatever (as long as it looked like it was healthy) and lifted full body for 12 reps per set.

I started college in September and decided to do some bulking, and I was 155 pounds at the time. I also did not count calories at this time, but ate much more protein and lifted heavier with a 1-8 rep range. I would barely do cardio and would work out 6-7 days a week. (I know I am supposed to have rest days, but I guess I recover quickly? And no matter how hard I try to work until failure even with low rest periods, I will rarely get sore the next day.) Well I bulked until around the middle of March and was 170 pounds.

Then I kind of started calories to cut. Still do not count my macros, even though I should, as long as I eat around 1500-2000 calories a day and get in a lot of protein. I do cardio 20 mins a day after every work out. I do 8-20 rep range on sets with around 30 secs- 1 min rest in between each set. I am currently 155 pounds. I also have not lost any strength in any of my lifts, so I guess that is good.

I already see a lot of flaws with what I am saying here. There can be improvements with a lot of areas in what I am doing, and I will improve my workout routine and diet when I get back to college in September

Also my 1RM lifts in September were 180 bench, 185 squat, 200 deadlift. At the end of my bulk, they were 225 bench, 235 squat, and 300 deadlift. Just wondering, is that good progress? And can anyone give me an estimate on my BF%?

It's been one year exactly since the last photos and this is the progress I made. I am now 160 pounds at 5'9 and my lifts are now 265 squat 395 deadlift and 250 bench. Comments on the progress made in a year?

During summer I probably sleep for like 9-10 hours a day (which is right now), but from September to June I probably sleep for like 6-7 hours on average
