I thought I'd share my transformation over the last year with you guys. Good luck on your resolutions and stay strong.
1/5/15
1/5/16
Edit- Fist off thank you for all the kind words it is greatly appreciated, you guys are great. Also, I want to clarify that I have never and will never take steroids. Your comments are very reassuring of my progress though. Another thing I should specify is this is not the first time I have gotten into shape, although it is the best shape I've been in. So for those of you familiar with weight lifting it did not take long for mind muscle connections and movement patterns to be restored.
Alot of you guys have been asking what my routine the past year has been. After the first three weeks of conditioning at home doing a full body circuit every other day I switched to a PPLx2 routine. Push Pull Lower repeated and then a rest day to round out the week. The first six months the gains come easy. I stayed in the hypertrophy rep ranges (8-10) with lots of drops sets (dropping the weight down with no rest time and using appropriate lighter weight). When you plateau you will need to fight for more gains. Rep ranges for me now are usually 3-6 for 5 sets followed by two back down sets in the hyper rep range.
As far as diet goes its been relatively easy for me. I eat the same thing everyday so it's very easy to adjust things. I used to suffer from the Gout as well so I never drink alcohol (shit is so painful). You need to find your calorie maintenance and eat about 400-500 cals above it. Everyone is different though so you need to find your maintenance and adjust accordingly.
I'm out of time as I have to go to work but thanks again everyone and make 2016 your best year!

Would also choose Chris pratt's package. Anna Farris has got that on lock down though.

LOL at the sore losers commenting about steroids. It's called hard work, you bags of shit. Maybe if you tried some you'd look like this guy?

I might be the only one who feels this way but I think you look super fine in your before picture. I mean the after picture is nice too.

He was pretty normal before. Maybe I'm getting too old but most guys I know look like his before picture or worse..

Congrats but to be honest, I'd have done you before too.

Agree, I'm working on it.

Leg day was not skipped, not even once

awesome. keep up the good work
Rednustard
Damn I assumed the top pic was after weight loss or something till I scrolled down. Nice job.
HereInDuckburg
I am suspicious of steroids and if I am wrong then it's a great compliment to OP. I just don't understand results like this in 1 year.
Rednustard
It may be doable with dedication but steroids would make it easier. He may have been big before though and it's easier to get big a2nd time
XenoHorse
It's doable. My friend did it. But he needs to spend around 5 hours at the gym 5/7 days a week at least.
Impizzle
Your friend is probably on gear then
korbendaIIas
This is definitely juice. You don't go from zero to jacked in just a year.

He just bought new sheets-- it's hard to get them on right in the first few years.

I only make my bed when I have a man coming to visit...

ACTUALLY science now says that NOT making our beds makes it less likely for dust mites to live in the bedding. GO SCIENCE.
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Only for a few minutes. Once it's dried from night time sweating you should make it.
Bunnii
Shhhhhhhh no one needs to know that part >.>;
Psychethos
Why? Such a waste of time as far as I'm concerned.
weliveinaspaceshipdear
Depends. My bedroom is set up in such a way that if the door is open, it's the first thing guests see when they walk in.
Psychethos
So is mine to be fair, but my bedroom door is always closed. I wouldn't want guests going/looking in there anyway, it's a private area.
LetsBucketListThisBitch
As someone who's been working out for the last 6 months and are kinda in a rut, can you post a how?
justanotheroneofthosegenericlongusernames
Heavy compound lifts. Progressively increase the weight. Eat more calories than you burn. Get 8 hours sleep.
beartato
His gains were insane. Most people cannot do that without extra help. Anyways, eat more, sleep more. Check out r/fitness too
WaterOx
Steroids
GLORYTOHYPNOTOAD
Well done, sir. I weigh only around 150 lbs, and I've been trying to gain weight for a while now so that I can gain muscle. You had a 1/2
GLORYTOHYPNOTOAD
2/2 good starting base that I'll never have. Good work, OP
ikeou
eat big, lift big. If you aren't gaining mass, eat more. When I bulk, i eat 6-7 big meals a day. I used to be 150ish but I'm at 205.
SirDistic
Eat 1gram of protein for each pound you want to weigh. So if you want to weigh 180 eat 180grams of protein per day. As I understand it.

HopscotchRabbits
Damn dude, that's one year? Care to detail your diet plan and exercise routines?
HereInDuckburg
I would also like to know but for more skeptical reasons
assassin129
Mix real dedication, proper sleeping pattern, healthy eating(and reaching cal goal) and a good workout routine and this can be accomplished.
HereInDuckburg
As someone who has "been there/ done that" I know it can..but it took me close to 3 years. 1 year is not a lot of time at all
assassin129
My guess is it also involves the body at the start of the workout. Is it healthy and ready to begin building muscle right away etc.
HereInDuckburg
Yea i dunno. I'm willing to give OP the benefit of the doubt, it just blows my mind that in one year something like this is possible.
Sebh1414
I just think it's hard for you to get the scheduling, food intake, sleep cycle, and proper training down this well all within just a year
HereInDuckburg
1 year really is not a lot of time when we talk about training / fitness. I am also having a hard time wrapping my head around it.
Sebh1414
getting in shape is such a trial and error of all these things, he must at least have a long history with working out
HopscotchRabbits
I'm not saying it's unobtainable but that seems like a ton of growth for 1 year. I know my diet isn't great and I could work out more but1/2
HopscotchRabbits
I'm 4 years into 5 days a week at the gym and this guy makes me look tiny.
HereInDuckburg
Ditto. I have been training for close to 3 years, granted I look pretty good now but I was nowhere close to this after just 1 year. I dunno
Brambones
Hopefully you're making a How-To post as well
Jamesbaxster
I'd be shocked if roids aren't involved. I've known people who go through the motions and don't get close to this in 3+ years.
thaifighter04
I thought the same. I would think there would be some stretch marks around the chest/shoulders from the massive gain.
dastrok
That's genetics for you
aravinglunatic
goin through the motions wont get results. hell i go the gym regularly but i KNOW i dont put much effort into it. dont go straight to roids
lunchisking
Just a guy who builds muscle easily maybe. Mesomorphs I think. I work out every other day and always have but I'll never get big like them
Impizzle
No it's very hard to gain that much muscle in that time span without the use of anabolic steroids. As someone who uses them I should know.
TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
Am I the only 1 questioning if steroids was in play?

TheRobotWhoCriedHuman
Very suspicious especially with how OP isn't responding to anyone...most likely OP isn't even the one in those pictures.
justanotheroneofthosegenericlongusernames
This is achievable in one year with good genetics. He looked like a fairly big lad in the before photo just with a bit of extra chub.
Nibarlan
you are not
billybobbfku
If you had to ask, than yes it was. Anabolics bitch!
Roughnalph
No
IIPhoenixII
It's probable. Worked in a pharmacy with a needle exchange program once - never realized how popular steroid abuse was before then
TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
I was a all natural physique body builder. Growing that much muscle natural can't happen. Expecially if your start from a turd.
WhiteyHead
his package certainly looks smaller...
stanleyspadowski
Steroids cause your dick to get bigger and your balls to get smaller.
theczar90
Probably was. He put on a lot of mass compared to the previous picture and his shoulders traps look unnatural.
TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
I KNOW he juiced. It's BS that ppl say nice hard work! Fuck that shit, this bitch didn't work.
theczar90
Saying he didnt work is false. You still have to work out regularly and keep eating. Steroids expedite the process
TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
He did work, but he's a cheater and I have no reapect for that. They make hard workers look bad.
Cigz
You must not be working hard enough then. All I can say is work harder.
