Thank you Bodybuilding.com!.... my transformation

**beto_man8** · 02-04-2006, 04:50 PM

ive been reading this forums for a long time and man, its packed full of knowledge... when i started lifting i was 16.. 145lbs... i was really skiny. I decided to do something about me and decided to enter a gym...

This forums helped me gather proper nutrition, supplements, routines, do's and dont's and some laughs.

in a year... i went from skinny 145lbs to average 186lbs...i feel great... but not yet acomplished my goal... i am now 17 years old.

just to let you know all of you kids that are just starting to keep it up, eat eat eat, and youll grow! just be patient. Once again, thanks Bodybuilding.com for all of your info and thanks for helping me acomplish part of my goals...

God bless you all

That's a very impressive one year change. Good job!

I think sharing your routine, diet, etc would be great.

Thats great man, good on ya. Nice solid diet too. I look to have something like that, but unfortuantly not all of us can afford to eat 16-24 eggs a day

Good work

**finalazy** · 02-04-2006, 05:40 PM

nice transformation, keep up the good work.

**beto_man8** · 02-04-2006, 05:42 PM

thanks guys!

**GregC525** · 02-04-2006, 05:48 PM

Wow, that's a lot of food! Good for you, you definitely work for results, and that's what you're getting. It's hard to keep a diet like that, and I know what it takes to stick to a diet even near as strict as that. Personally I don't have that much discipline, but good for you man.

Just a little point of advice (though feel free to ignore it), but I think it would be a good idea to cut two months before summer starts so you can get a really healthy cut for the beach. If you start cutting at the beginning of summer, either you'll wind up rushing your dieting and losing muscle OR you'll wind up with your cut look at the end of summer.

**deviltrainee** · 02-04-2006, 05:51 PM

it looks like ur lats are lagging a little, ur transformation is pretty much what happened to me except i have lower bf. lol it looked really funny to have a 130 lb 6ft kid with zero muscle but had an 8 pack

lol ur before pic looks a lot like my brother

) thanks for the advice though...

**no_strain_no_ga** · 02-04-2006, 07:08 PM

Dude, that is a great transformation. You put very much dedication to get what you have right now. You should put this in Post Your Pics Forum and many people will be telling you how awesome you have improved. Great work

**sportsshrink** · 02-04-2006, 07:46 PM

Tremendous transformation--I was cracking up when i noticed that your "before" smiley face was sooo sad--and the "after" smileys were all happy!!!

**AaronX** · 02-04-2006, 08:04 PM

Good job dude! Keep up the good work and keep going. You can reach your goal of 200lbs.

By the way, thanks for sharing your diet plan.

12% or so would be my guess. great transformation. you went from being a little girl to having some good quality muscle. how tall are you?

**Cass** · 02-04-2006, 08:18 PM

Awesome man! Thats a great improvement, you've been hard at it I see. Keep at it!

**ajn** · 02-04-2006, 08:22 PM

wow...you were beyond skinny in that first pic, that couldn't have been healthy. are you sure you were being fed at the time? lol.

the transformation is not complete, of course? you still need lat and trap work and i hope you do core as well as legs. your chest could use a lot more mass and definition also.

**Rip Van Winkle** · 02-04-2006, 08:36 PM

On the plus side, your before photo had excellent taste in necklacessss....

What?!?

**Ang.1** · 02-04-2006, 08:43 PM

**888888** · 02-04-2006, 10:57 PM

beto_man8 very nicely done.

You obviously have a lot of support from you Mum and you're lucky there but you obviously had your mind set to it and well done to you.

I read everywhere about oatmeal... is it that good for you?
better than peanut butter?

Yes, its a good source of Fiber and good carbs.
Especially if you add an apple and some cinna.
