New guy here!

[PlateStacker45]

Hey guys, I've been reading this forum for a few monthes and decided to sign up last week. I was born and rasied in Bradenton, Florida all my life and am stationed in Great Falls, Montana in the military. I personal trained at a couple gyms and ran a hardcore PL/BB gym out of Bradenton, Florida for a few years. I just turned 21 June 16th and have been lifting weights since 7th grade. I wrestled and competed in MMA for about 6 years. I also powerlifted for my Middleschool and Highschool and competed in many meets outside of school. I then started getting into Bodybuilding and nothing else a couple years ago. Bodybuilding means everthing to me and I'm in it every day, all day. I'm 5'7" and sit around 235lbs offseason and 190lbs or so inseason. Have never competed yet, but hope to do so soon. Im flyin completly solo and have no one watchin me or helping me out with training or diet. So any advise would be great. I'm also natty as of now, looking to enhance here soon. Thanks guys and glad to be here.

Welcome PS45,

Looking good, your experience shows Nice size on your biceps in the MM pose, you’ve got a few good yrs ahead of you for some natural growth.

Thanks man. I think my arms slightly overpower the rest of my body, so I have cut down their volume a bit lately. I also think my shoulders and traps tend to overpower my chest a little, so I am trying different things to bring my chest thickness up. The years of powerlifting have left me with dense, tight and matured looking muscles, but never gave me the size needed to succeed in Bodybuilding. So that what I'm working on right now.

Welcome bro! You look really good. And don't hold back the arms just release the rest of that beast....HAHA! Looking good bro!

Well thats the thing, I personally think my gains have stopped or have became very very slow. For all the time and heart I put into Bodybuilding, I almost think I am cheating myself by not taking it to the next level. I've been changing up my routines and diet quit often lately and have yet to see any changes in my size. I believe all those years of powerlifting have gave me a great base and structure to build off and I've taken advange of that in the past few years. I've did tons and tons of research in all areas of AAS. Not looking to do anything insane as of yet. Thinking of 500mg's of Test and ending off with some Winny the last few weeks of a 12 week cycle to get primed for a show towards the end of the year.

Thats a very good first cycle. Thats actually exactly what i got a friend of mine doin. its his first cycle and is making great gains off of it. good thickness for being natty. I do agree that your arms overpower a little. nothin ya cant fix though. Good luck bro.

Looks like you have a great base to work with if you want to compete.
Have any pics of the wheels?

Those are actually photos from around a year ago when I was 20 and I only have a few of them. I don't like taking photos and it's hard for me to do with no one ever around. My camera is proped up on the counter and it doesen't show anything below my waist. I just starting cutting down a couple weeks ago and will post more pics and leg pics when I'm leaner. My legs are very much up to par, I just gotta carve them up a little. They just look like small tree trunks right now.
