[mhovanes21]

should be mandatory to post diet, general workout program, and supplements with these progress pics...because you know everyone is going to ask anyways

The dude obviously knows how to diet... I dont see any reasons why this isn't done naturally... were talking 18 months here with a decent muscle base to start with.

Eat strict and train hard and see what happens to you.

Helluva job there son.

From the before pics, I bulked for a few more months, then cut. When I was bulking I tried to keep my calories around 3-3.5k and my protein at or above my body weight, simple as that. Of course, I made sure to get a good portion of my calories from eggs, chicken, tuna etc to keep my protien intake in check. The rest I got from foods like brown rice/bread/oats/milk. Cant give an exact diet cause it changed a lot.

Supplements while bulking:
Whey
Orange Triad (Multivitamin)
Fish-Oil
Creatine
Caffiene Pills/Occasional Pre-workout

As for cutting, I kept a very strick diet. Started off at about 2.5k calories and I tapered down as my weight loss stalled.
Great article on cutting by Layne Norton:
http://www.simplyshredded.com/layne-...ting-diet.html
I didn't do any special weight loss diet, just stick to the basics, stay strict, and keep lifting heavy even while you're cutting.

Supplements While Cutting:
EC Stack (Info: http://www.hotnfit.com/ecstack.htm) (Thermogenic/Muscle Preservation)Highly recommended
Lean Xtreme (Non-stimulant fat burner)
Creatine (Muscle/Strength Preservation) (Dropped creatine the last few weeks of cut, loss excess water weight and looked even better, while it helped preserve my strength/muscle while cutting)
Orange Triad
Fish Oil
Main thing about cutting is your mental strength, create a solid diet and routine, STICK TO IT, and you will see progress.

As for my routine while bulking I followed a simple bodypart split
Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Back
Wednsday: off
Thrusday: Shoulders
Friday: Legs
Saturday: Arms
Sunday: off
I also did Layne Norton's Power/Hypertrophy for a few months:
http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-f...ated-2011.html
(Definitely recommend this program, saw great strength/size gains)

While bulking even when I was doing the bodypart split, I always made sure to start each workout with a heavy compound (ex. Bench Press on chest day, Squats on legs, Barbell rows on back, Barbell curl/Weighted Dips on arms, military on shoulders) which at trained I at a low rep range (ex 3x5, 1x5, 5x5) and tried to progress in weight weekly. We all know the importance of compounds.

While cutting I just went back to a bodypart split because I was most comfortable with that. And I kept the heavy compounds at the beginning of each workout and STILL tried to add weight every week and pushed myself. I gained strength for a good portion of my cut, then of course that stopped and I plateaued/lost a bit of strength, as my weight loss progress continued, which is expected when you cut. But I wasn't disappointed with how much I kept at all.

I finish cutting a few months ago and have been lean bulking.

x2

but nice progress.. keep it up!

[rompuss]

im thinkin you looked that ripped less than 18 months ago but damn u were pretty fat man. what the hell did you take caffein pills for?

[HarderStylezz]

I swear a black person's genetics is like a white person with test E.

mirin hard, nice gains man.

[FlyingArrow]

Awesome results! And I don't get the questions on "supplements". Not taking anything away from you but for those that question it I think at your age this transformation and more can be done in 6 months. Alot of cutting and adding some mass. You had a good base to start with.

Well done.

[delpozo]

Awesome progress keep going at it. Great job

I took caffeine pills as a pre-wrokout. I think they are overall better than pre-workout supplements, same effects/cheaper/no extra useless ingredients. I tried a bunch of different pre-workouts and all I did was build a tolerance and have to use more and more and that **** is expensive.

[jaybc]

Awesome transformation brah. Mirin' v-taper.

[MightyApe]

awesome progress, any advice?

They also help with burning fat so another good reason to take it. Good job bro you're my height and exact weight, but I have a tad bit more BF than you. I just gotta get stricter and work harder.

[fittofattofit]

Awesome progress. Great physique - killer abs.
Looking heavier than 165 - do the legs match the upper body?
Looking strong and aesthetic overall
Repped for progress!

[sinisterkid]

Nice Work.
