Just getting started, hope to compete one day!

[DaHurt]

So I've been lurking around here and not posting for a little while, and I need to start being more active! I post on a few other boards, but I really love the amount of competitors around this place!

I'd say I've really just started bodybuilding seriously - and by that I mean every aspect of the lifestyle to the exclusion of many other things. I've always trained very hard and cared about nutrition, but I'd say I really got SERIOUS about training and wanting to compete in September of 2011. Before that I lifted during high school because I played football and threw discus, then off and on through college, and stopped for the last year of college and the past two years of grad school because well, I didn't have my priorities straight!

I am 24 y/o 5'10" and sitting at around 235 lbs...not sure where BF is.

I'll definitely be posting a lot more around here from now on! Looking forward to learning a lot! :headbang:

Welcome to PM! Solid foundation from what I see... Recommendation if I may... Hire a prep coach to get you shredded when you are ready to diet... You will be glad you did

Thanks man...def put on some BF trying to bulk but I think it's around 12-15 so as long as it doesn't get any higher I'm happy.

Your not that far out , you could do a show in 16 weeks without suffering to bad or losing much if any muscle

Great base by the way :headbang:

Unlimited potential

Seeing as you consider yourself "just starting out", heres what I've taken away from the board over the past 5 years... Through experience.

Hire a prep guy like everyone else mentioned. I worked with Alex A and he got me shredded.

and

hgh is your best friend.



You have a hell of a base - I really believe you could go far

 

[Queefer]

Compete asap, and don't wait. You will never bring up your bodyparts where you are satisfied.

 

[tri-terror]

You are in a really good place to start a prep I think. Look for a show in your area at least 16 weeks out and you should be able to get in good condition.
You would probably do well in the novice heavys.

Thanks man, I am quickly learning that GH is an amazing thing in this game!

I think I am going to shoot for next year! If steroids were legal in the US, I would have probably just started my experience with them...so I would theoretically want to run a couple more cycles before taking the plunge.

Thanks man...moving across the country soon so right now I just want to keep growing...the move plus finding a new job, etc doesn't put a prep in the cards for right now.

Here is my last ever pic natural...right before I started my first cycle of 600mg test e/wk for 14 weeks, which I just finished in the above pictures. I went from 208 to 240 and dropped back down to 235 once I lost some of the water. Currently in my 2nd week of PCT.

Haha I know I know...I just wanted to give it a year of what I consider serious training...maybe I'll start a prep at the end of the year. I would like to get to 250 before I cut down again.

Bulk progression since September. The 2 pics on the left are natty, the one on the right is with test e 600mg/wk. The first pics where I'm lean and skinny as hell are with no weight training, just keto diet and shit loads of cardio.

It goes 170lbs -> 208lbs -> 235lbs

Definitely some water and fat too.
