Good job dude! Very motivating. What was your diet like?

I used to do a month of 40/40/20 followed by a month of Carbs cycling ,to prevent boredom or fatigue from carbs cycling , the 40/40/20 was 2000 at first then dropped it down to 1800 when I lost weight then lower at the last month..

[Mad_Mike]

Excellent work on the weight loss, but it seems like you left your lifts drop. Time to replace some of that muscle.

You lost a little too much, bro. Try and bulk now. Keep the diet clean, but up the calories. See if you can get thick.

Excellent work. You now have a clean solid base for your clean bulk which looks like you have already begun.

U know ,bulking on a lean body is fun ,u r motivated to go to the gym and not feeling guilty eating lots of food ,not to mention its more optimal to bulk on low bodyfat..

Good job on your cut, must've took serious dedication (reps on recharge for your hard work). I have a question though, when you were +35% at 215, did you do a dirty bulk or just went straight into weightloss program + weight training when you realized you needed to cut weight?

No I was just fat ,Also I had much less LBM than an average person as a result of 5 years of yo yo dieting ,and the first pic wasnt even my peak!!

[Awais]

awesome transformation bro, i do think u lost alot, in a GOOD WAY! keep up the hard work, i am impressed!

[Chris@UGA]

Awesome job man!

Now just be very very careful not to gain it back quickly when you try to bulk. I know from personal experience on my first two bulk attempts when I gained around 10lbs of fat and only 5lbs of muscle each. lol

In my opinion, make sure you continue to do at least 20 minutes of low intensity or 10-15 minutes of HIIT at least 3-4 days per week while you bulk. Personally, I'd rather gain a little slower on my next bulk than gain too fast and get fat again.

The way I see it, gaining only 2lbs a month for 6 months nets you a 12 pound gain and no need to cut. Or, you could gain 4lbs a month for 6 months, get a 24 pound gain, and then spend the next 2 months trying to diet back down to see your 12 pound muscular gain all the while the guy who only gained 12 lean pounds just gained another 4lbs of muscle during that time and is now ahead of you.

That's the thinking I'll be using for my next bulk. Good luck and great job!

not to mention its more optimal to bulk on low bodyfat..

You don't have to be low bodyweight to be low bodyfat, its easier to reach a lower body fat with more mass. Eating works the same way also, you can eat more and be a little less cautious if you have more muscle because of a higher metabolic rate.

None the less you're done the cutting and you did an excellent job. Enjoy the bulk.

[apH]

This has motivated me, I am 225lbs and I want to become atleast 175lbs.

[Leeming14]

good work man. im in the same boat as u where once in. Hopefully i can do what u did.

[mistafreeze]

Great job. And guys, come on. This guy was 215 with 35% bodyfat. Do the MATH!

Thats like 140 lbs of muscle, guy lost hardly any, and likely gained.

So in other words, great job!

[mistafreeze]

Also I noticed the guy is 5 7, so he is at a very good weight for his size, and should be nothing but happy about what he has accomplished.

Now it's time for him to kick some ass!

[Finnegan Bell]

Thx ,and tomorrow Im going to take new pics for the 2008 recomp contest ,I am a little bigger than this

[snorkelman]

It's easy to say OP lost too much, but it is probably not accurate. He did a great job of fat loss. Sure he can gain some muscle mass, but now he can start that new journey. I think it is better to be skinny trying to gain mass than fat trying to lose fat. OP can now ease up on the cardio and start eating more carbs than he did before. Keep lifting hard.

I dont do cardio on bulking ,I had enough cardio for 1.5 years ,time to rest..

nice work kauud ....see you online soon

[magnumpeanut]

That must have been a lot of super hard work to do that in 14 months. I need to do the same. I am on my way. 220 in OCT 2007 now only 195. I'll get there too.

[Jman06]

Yeah, don't be getting on this guy about his mass... look at that transformation! All you skinny people out there who have always had that crazy fast metabolism don't realize how hard it is to lose 50+ lbs. without losing a little muscle mass. Now he's got the perffect body to build on and that's crazy exciting. Keep us posted on your results in the next year bro, you have a lot of potential!

[replicat0r]

wow man, good work. will keep u in mind when i work out to push myself

[Lemonzest]

I started about the same, 220 and about 32% BF, down to 204 now and hoping to get down to a nice 15-12%. Great work on the transformation, it shows that with dedication it CAN be done here's some green, repped

[Bronkko]

nice work kauud ....see you online soon

[goodfella0729]
