For 260lbs its awesome, but if you watch videos of him doing it before he got into bodybuilding he looked a lot more fluid and less cumbersome.

Agreed - impressive though, but looks a little ridiculous at the same time!

Look at the posing as well, flawless...
anant as I remember I weighed in at 64kg not long after I first got those weights which is just about 10 stone yes, at 6ft. A few weeks ago I weighed in at 14 stone.
Thanks man, you've actually really inspired and motivated me. I was hoping to reach 11-12 stone of lean mass by around 23, that would mean me gaining 4-5 stone in the next 8 years. I wasn't sure that I could do it with my genetics, but now I think it's possible

Ah to be young again

Wow, I'm glad I could help. Go for it mate
Oh and don't worry about genetics, they don't mean anything unless you want to compete at a high level, where the fine details of your structure and how well you can handle heavy supplementation really matter.

Ok thanks . It's just I'm worried about genetics because sometimes I can go eating less than 1500 calories a day, the boarding school food is awful
Also, I've got a really high metabolism, always fidgeting most of the time subconcious, and I'm not even 7 stone anymore

Then your problem isn't even remotely going to be genetics is it?

It's very rare for me to eat that little. Most of the time I try to eat as much as possible. But I'm just making the point that I could eat that little and not feel too hungry about it
I really wish I had started training a lot younger I reckon if I carried on as I am now I'd be in a pretty good way!
I reckon if I carried on as I am now I'd be in a pretty good way!Dear Lord boy! 1500 cals a day?! I don't think I could survive on that let alone grow!
Get eating for christ sake!
Not exactly doing badly though!

But you're probably nearly double my mass, that's why
Back on topic, I'd probably post a pic but I don't think I'm ready yet
anant - eat. more. lots more. Please!
Benny, true, but I've not got long before I reach my peak, and that's quite a depressing thought!

I've started eating loads more! especially for breakfast, I'm really happy with progress. I used to eat just a bowl of cereal. Now I eat a bowl of cereal, followed by 4 weetabix, and I also down a couple of cups of milk while I'm at it.
I've also added in a packet of oatcakes (300cals) a day. And cut out junkfood. Now just to wait to see if the next few months yield any mass gains...

Sorry mate, but that's an appalling breakfast. A bowl of cereal is not breakfast.

Aye, but you're going to be in bloody good form considering! Think about how the majority of (30? is it?) year olds look. Most obese and incredibly unfit spending their evenings down the pub guzzling down larger!

You've from the sounds of it been under eating. It might be due to what you were fed when you were younger and thus have always made do with a low calorie intake.
Despite the fact you're only small you want to be getting in at least 2000 calories a day. It's very easy to do.
4 eggs & some milk is tipping just over 500 calories alone. Add some butter & olive oil and you'll be seeing just over 600 alone for breakfast. Have your current breakfast on top of that and you've got half what you need to eat already!
For the record carbing up won't help with mass gains unfortunatley. You need to be eating lots of meat, fish & vegetables

I don't think I'm undereating too much. My dad was 7.5 stone at 18
now that's scary! Unfortunately, I'm also an extremely difficult child, I can't eat more than one or two eggs, and I'm vegetarian. I know, bulking is trouble
Soldato
Can I ask why you are a vegetarian mate?
