My road to getting diesel!

[Sheaarend13]

Went from 160lbs to 208lbs. I was 160 due to heroin use. I've been sober since 2/8/13. I got sober through the nc prison system and was able to start lifting around May of last year. I left prison in October of 2013 at around 202. I'm not concerned with getting cut, for now it's just bulking until I reach my goal of 225. I've been taking test 250 for 4 weeks but it's probably some bullshit because I haven't really gained much. Who else is trying to get BIG?

Forgot to mention. I had scoliosis surgery in 2005 so I have two foot long rods next to my spine ect ect. Makes working me back tough but seems to give my traps an upper hand lol

You should focus on training clean for a couple years. I'm 18 years out from a habit, and I trained over 10 years all natural before even considering a pro-hormone. I highly recommend this path.

All my buddies say the same thing but there all juicing as well lol. I'm all or nothing bro.

Without a solid muscular base, no AAS gains are going to be kept. There is no short cut to being muscular and fit. "All" in a bodybuilding life style is a permanent change in mindset, where the struggle is embraced as an opportunity to make positive change.

That's why I waited until I was 200lbs to start. I also waited until I was sober for a year.

You appear to have your mind made up. I interacted with a kid who went by criminal about a year ago on this same subject and it fell on deaf ears.

So in that case, post your current work out design, as this will give the Bro's an opportunity to help you further develop that, and also a basic outline of your diet.

That criminal guy has a YouTube channel. He is a moron. Check him out to see how not to do stuff..

What does your diet look like? Gaining 40 lbs doesnt mean anything. The average american does that easily by sitting on the couch and feeding their face

 

[Sheaarend13]

Well my first 40 was gained in prison so it was chow hall trays(sometimes I could sneak and eat 2 lunches and or 2 dinners which I did very often) and about $25-$30 worth of mostly mackerel and rice a week. When I first got out I was eating like a pig obviously. That period ended and them I went into a phase of not eating that much for about 3 months. For the last 4-6 weeks it's been a lot of chicken, eggs, pasta, rice, ground beef/turkey, Greek yogurt, milk, and then when I'm on the go it ends up being dollar menu items from fast food restaurants. I try to stick to burgers and chicken. I know it's probably not the best but I'm broke and I rarely get to work full time.

 

[Sheaarend13]

As far as my workout routine I try to go 6 days a week and work a different muscle group each time. 45 minutes to an hour and I increase weight doing 10 reps then 8 then 6. I do 4 exercises per muscle.

 

[Sheaarend13]

I don't dead lift or squat because of my back and I try to stay away from flat bench with the bar. When I do flat bench with the bar it makes my left pec bigger than my right really quick. Incline helps with that.
