[Jliltman]

Wanted to start this thread to hold myself accountable for the next unforeseen future. This will act as a place to upload food, drugs, checkin pics to myself etc.

I just turned 22 and this is my starting point . Currently on a mock prep I plan to do until late may or so. From there I will hit a small rebound/health phase then into a big offseason push. I’ll be graduated from college and I will be able to solely focus on bodybuilding.

What do I plan to get out of this thread?

I hope to have a place to post and learn while also providing documentation of what I’m doing at my age.

If you’re a veteran in the sport I’d love for anyone to chime in. I’m all years and always down for debate or discussion.

Thanks fellas

Looking thick already, nice work. And, for a young guy you have no glaring weaknesses (usually young guys overly focus on arms and chest). You have a great foundation. Conversely, If you are going to solely focus on bodybuilding, be prepared to be renting a room, driving a beater car and living day to day unless you have stockpiled a shitload of money. It is an expensive sport and I have seen many many young guys burn out on this path. I could go on and on with stories of gym bros from the mid 80's and very few of them came out of the lifestyle unscathed.

I appreciate that.

I don’t have any debt, true expenses except my mortgage (600) a month lol and groceries etc. I’m extremely frugal lol. Bodybuilding is about the only thing I’m not afraid to spend a little money on. Just secured a salary position at my job and my old lady is still in school.

Praise Jesus I found a woman that is as money saving minded as me.

I appreciate the feedback

Just remember the wrong woman can break you and the right woman can break you!

Better to fly solo until at least 35 if this is something you want to pursue.

Get on IG and social now, decide if your relationship is real, if you want kids and when, and secure yourself.

The key to being a great bodybuilder will be dependent on how well you’re able to integrate the sport with your life.

More importantly- decide “why” you do this. Get on stage and compete sooner rather than later- you’ll know real quick if you’re built for this after a true prep and stepping on stage.

Good luck and hope to see you on here in the years ahead being one of the few who actually stick with this. Guys come here all the time only to fade away. Don’t be those guys.

I agree with @bbxtreme. If you're going to do a mock prep anyway, do a real prep. Get on stage early summer.

Get in real stage shape. Realize you don't have as much muscle as you think you do. Hit a real rebound.

Maybe you learn that you hate the diet. Maybe you don't like being on stage. Maybe you love it all and realize that you have a ton of potential. You can't know if competitive bodybuilding is for you until you compete.

Agreed. Im doing this prep to see if I actually love bodybuilding. I’ve never prepped before this seriously so I really want to se show far I can take it. I’d like to lose my baby fat I still have in lower back lol. I can tell you’ve been coached by AJ. I admire him so much. The “why” is so important and I feel like most forget that why and that’s ultimately why they stop

Post all quarter turn shots.
Front relaxed
Side relaxed
Rear relaxed
Opposite side relaxed

Let's see the entire physique

 

[Jliltman]

Ok I will. I haven’t taken any quarter turns etc since last time I cut. This went out the window during offseason

Cohabitation/marriage and the chance of separation/divorce is a risk that must be mitigated. Rates are likely 50% in this modern age.

I will never, ever, live with a woman again without some sort of legal documentation to safeguard my assets/salary.

Divorce rape will set you back a decade or more....
