Go check out the Workout Programs forum on here. You should be able to find intelligent people to help you with what you want. I would keep bulking if I were you, it really doesn't look like you put on a lot of mass yet.
Lots of posts in here are really inspiring, I adore all your hard work, being a skinny with Chron's I am fighting hard to gain weight and mass, can't wait to post my pics when I feel ready. .
How much food is required for these transformations?
Here's an example of what I'd eat on a day when I did cardio and lifting (2 hours in the gym). I still have a ways to go, hopefully someone with more experience can share as well.
Meal 1
2 pieces of wheat bread, 120 cals/22g carbs/5g protein
4 egg whites, 100 cals/20g protein
2 scoops of whey protein, 260 cals/48g protein + 400ml 2% milk

Man breakfast alone I'm eating 4 eggs 2 bagels 2 packs of oatmeal and some cereal about 800+ calories at least 60 g of protein and at least 100g of carbs then before gym pasta n protein shake same thing for post workout. Then chicken veggies hamburger potatoes fish fruits and steak for the rest of the day. Does this sound legit?

yep, sounds legit. the site called myfitnesspal.com can help with calorie counting. I'm about your size, and start to lose weight if I drop below 3000 kcal in a day. I slacked a little over the holidays and lost 3 pounds, lol.
could someone tell me what i need to work on? (besides overall mass lol)
the first pic and the second are about 3 months apart. mostly just powerlifting though, yet still got a bit bigger.
It's been just over a month since I decided to get back into shape, and to go further than I ever have before. Here's my one month progress.
The day I decided to change my life, Nov. 27th is the first pic. @149.4.
Here's me two days ago, Dec. 27th. The holidays messed me up because the gym I was using was closed during the holidays and I was traveling, so although a month of time has passed, there's actually only been three weeks of actual training and "proper" dieting.
The second pic is me @159.8.
Both of these pictures were taken in the morning, right after I used the restroom, but before eating.
If anybody wants to take a guess as to my bf% I'd appreciate it. Scale at home says 14.9% (more than before pic) and the hand scale at the gym says 5.3%. I need calipers...
Here's my progress from when I started lifting 6 months ago. I'm 6'3" and have always been very skinny...determined to change that!
July 2012
163 pounds
~6% bodyfat / 153 pounds lean mass
December 2012
195 pounds
11% bodyfat / 174 pounds lean mass
I'm still very much a beginner and have a long way to go. Will update this in 6 months with (hopefully) better photos. In the meantime, anyone have any critiques or advice? Thanks!
Some of these transformations are really awesome. It's really unfortunate though that people post these and give no information on how they got there. I know myself and literally thousands of other people would benifit if whenever someone posted a transformation with pics we could learn what they did to get there. In this way we could see real results of each program and find the ones that produce the best gains.
I really think it would be helpful if EVERYONE WHO POSTED PICTURES also posted their routine, basics of their diet and how long the change took, and if it was natural or not. If you agree with this please say something.
Since I'm at 50 I can post pictures. Overall on my bulk I just gained fat, so I have't done great.
There has been a little change in my legs though so to try and help others here you go:
My Routine was SS or Starting Strength
I workout 3 days per week for about 3 months then rested for about 3 weeks and did other things with my free time.
I ate about 3000 calories per day, getting 1 gram per pound of body mass.
Obviously natural, I only used some whey protein powder.
Went from 146 to 160
It dosen't necessary have to be skinny pics. Any pics will do from packing on alot of mass, I see DLStar made a thread for former fatties, I thought why not make one on ppl who were relevantly small to decently big or very huge. It will also be a motivation to the others and me.
I will start with one: First pic before, second 2 after.
NOTE: This is not me, just a transformation pic I saw on another board, saw I posted it here for my thread because I think its amazing

As far as training, I'm doing JasonDB's novice 5x5 fullbody, which you can find in the Workout Programs forum. As far as dieting/nutrition, I eat 4,000 calories a day (minimum). Caloric intake is my main concern. When I eat the way I normally do I get over 200g of protein, 400g of carbs, 100g of fat. Errday. And I take a boat load of supplements.

Thanks for the info dude. Honestly one month is usually too soon to see anything when bulking. To me it looks like you gained some fullness to your muscles mostly in your shoulders. See what other people say but I would guess your body at at 14 ish percent. Any pictures of legs? Take pics again in 2 months and hopefully you see a difference from your starting weight.
