with hopes of being "huge" and have actually been sucessful at it...kinda like a little more pump for me to keep strivin bc sometimes i will admitt i get a little impatiant and jus wish i could blow up over night hahaha but i know it takes hard work and dedication and im all for that...jus a thought i had and i know i got a LOOOOONG time ahead of me as well....fuck im only 21 haha....thansk bros for the input look forward to readin what anyone says

Pure ectomorph. Started at 5'11" 135lbs at age 19 and got to my highest off season weight of 285+ lbs at 15% in 2002. I competed at my highest of 242lbs and that was my highest placing ever at the Nationals. I am now a small, mostly natural and comfy 230-235lbs.

I powerlifted for a short bit after I got smoked in my first competition. I was in the 220 class but with my long lanky arms and super small wrists I was never very strong. My best comp was 405 bench, 585 squat, and 602 dead. All with shirts, etc.

So my size was never indicative of my strength, I am relatively weak for as big as I was. As it stands now, I just do 315 for 8-10 on bench and never squat more than 315 for reps at the end of my leg workout. I don't even do full deads anymore, just rack deads from my knees.

So I am not so hardcore anymore, kinda small and mostly natural. It was a really long road to get big, I ate over 8k cals per day and had a very hard time maintaining weight. I never got my pro-card so now I just use my years of knowledge to help those much more genetically gifted than me.
