Where you started VS where you are (pics)

I posted currents in the pics thread.

If he has 'improved conditoning' we're looking at the next Andreas Münzer !

I’m not sure but that would be goals lol. Roman Fritz is good too

There he is! Pepperoni! Lol you’re not being insulted we are just perturbed re: your fear of getting fat especially with how lean you are. You should definitely post about your experience assuming you’re actually growing.

I understand man, I just hate posting if people don’t like me around. I’ve become more introverted and careful in my ways. Hope you’re having a good trip!

I'm about to be roasted lol, pretty embarrasing, I know my physique isn't any good but I may aswell post.. I've experimented with high dosages for a few weeks at a time (high test up to 1750mg for a few weeks but backed off after two, i hate injecting) the rest has been low as in 1g a week total or less. My best cycle was 125 sustanon per day and 50 tren ace per day. My diet has never been good or consistent for any long period of time and I've partied too much in my life lol. Lots of regrets obviously I wish I took it more seriously but again, I'm realistic; I know my physique is 'okay for the gym/beach' and that's it. I'm pretty unhappy versus how I thought I would feel, I don't get much joy out of it - when you first begin you would love to look how you do but as time goes on, it's not the same. I wish I could care about it or be more positive towards it, I've self sabotaged the fuck out of myself constantly lol. Ultimately I'm finally starting to get more consistent but I kick myself for all of the time I wasted and no longer have the passion I had when I first began, the desire is there simply because for me this isn't good enough.

You look incredible . Still holding gills (obliques) with that sort of size. You should get on stage .

Here's my transformation.

The first two pictures are from July 2010, the first time I dieted. I ended up 166lbs. The rest of the pictures are from 2022 at my all-time biggest around 290lbs. In those 12 years I spent about 2 just trying to find my way, then 5-6 years powerlifting, then full tilt with bodybuilding for the last 5 years.

I don't have any secrets. I've never used a coach, never had a training partner. I just have machine-like discipline and determination. I never put limits on how far I could go but never imagined I could go that far. I just knew if I kept making the right decisions each day I'd get better. We're all capable of way more than we realize. You have no clue what you're capable of with bodybuilding until you give it 2-3 years of hardcore dedication every day.

13 years apart

You have such a weak, beta mindset and it's going to greatly hinder you in all aspects of life.

Nobody doesn't like you. We don't do personal shit here. What we dislike is that come for advice, the experts here tell you exactly what to do, the you don't do it. It shows that you aren't serious about bodybuilding. If we didn't like you we wouldn't have gone out of our way to help you over and over.

I actually don’t. I ignore it for the most part and am working on myself. Call me weak and beta but this is a forum. I try to improve myself day in and day out through struggle. How am I weak? I just don’t want negativity in my life is all.

This right here. Everyone post threads about “should I take tren, karbolyn, drink protein shakes, count my veggies protein, etc.”

There are no secrets in this sport other than getting up and pushing a little harder than you did yesterday doing the same shit day in and day out. There is no linear process. The effects in bodybuilding compound. You do that for 2,5, or 10 years and you’ll shock yourself. I sure as hell did.

It goes without saying @danieltx - one hell of a transformation.

Left is the start of my freshman year of high school 1995 where I was 15. I found bodybuilding not too long along into the year. Right was a few weeks back at Master Nationals at 43. Not too shabby I guess for having a genetic brittle bone disease after seeing this photo. I guess you can really do anything you put your mind to

55 to 87kg

Excited to see what I’m capable of
