My 3 year transformation.

Hey guys just figured I'd make a post showing where I started when I began going to the gym and where I am now. I was almost anorexic as a child as you will see in the picture of a picture. I didn't grow out of it as you see in the picture of me in my grade 12 year wearing the life jacket diaper but I started going to the gym after moving away from my home town with my girlfriend and it took me a year or so to start taking it seriously and another 6 months after that to start taking my nutrition seriously. But after a couple years of combining them both and grinding out day after day I've put on about 50lbs of muscle from my grade 12 year which I weighed about 145lbs to now in which I weight ~195. There's isn't much of a point to this post, I'm just hoping it motivates someone out there who's about to give up on changing their life for the better. Maybe you think it can't be done or you just don't have what it takes. You just have to put you mind to it and stop doubting yourself. Look at how far you've come, not how far you have to go. A lot of hurdles have come and gone but shouldn't be forgotten. Everyone sees the results but only you see the journey.

Great progress my man. What caused you to get into weight lifting?

 

I played football throughout my childhood and high-school so the workout programs they implemented started that but I was always a big fan of WWF and DragonBall Z. I knew I always wanted to be a big guys and I hated the look of myself and the though of settling for average. Football was also my main way of releasing stress answer frustration and when that ended I had nothing else so the gym helped a lot with that.

 

Of course man, proportion and aesthetics > all.

 

bench 315 raw, master a wallflip 360, 20" arms would be nice? haha right now my back ismy main focus, just trying to proportion myself as best i can

 

eh thanks man!

 

Lookin good man I want to start badly but it's hard finding time to juggle my 60 hr/wk job and home time with my wife and daughter already.

 

Congratz man. Very impressive. Something to be proud of

 

I feel you man, so glad my woman hits the gym as hard as I do

 

Awesome. Gave me a bit of motivation too but I had to stop weight lifting due to a lower back injury which I'm still recovering from. Keep up the work man.

 

Nice progress man definitely good motivation. Whats your max on bench?

 

Great job man.

 

I've never had a lower back injury, fingers crossed. But I've had a minor shoulder injury that put me back a couple weeks and I'm glad that's the worst of what I've ever had

 

Thanks man! 300 raw, no straps belts or special lifting gear. 315 is my goal by summertime

 

Thanks man!
