Just some pics.

I have no clue. I almost never max out. I just go by the progress I make on my last set of BB Bench press. I do about 8 sets total including warmup now and the last set I did the other day was 255x6 so I would guess somewhere in the 285-310 range, who knows? Thats probably my weakest point as far as strength goes. I probably squat near 500, deadlift 450, leg press??? I do about 8 sets after I've already done 8 sets on squats working up to 2 sets of 375x5 and then hit 900 for a set of 8 as my last set of legpress. I wish they would make those things with longer bars so you can put on more weights. I'm stuck doing a bunch of sets at the moment before I become somewhat fatigued.

Is that the way you've always trained?

Well for the past year or so I haven't been concerned with what my max is. I use a rep max to calculate it, but again I use the last set of my workout to determine that.

I have to agree bro. You're physique looked perfect before. When i first saw the first pic i thought to myself "if i can achieve that - ill be happy" . I guess im just not real hyped on the hypertrophied look. Either way- great results for you- props.

Yeah I definately like to look before too, but with taking steroids and bulking the body is going to undergo some major physical changes. I have always been a hard gainer so I had to eat like I've never eaten before. I did not eat junk food on a regular basis, but rather clean sources of protein and a lot of milk which I probably could have changed to skim milk instead of 2% as that would have cut down on my fat content. I did not do any cardio during this time either. Everything in the 1st pic was all natural. Only thing I did was Xenadrine and some creatine from time to time, but I hated creatine because I had to drink ungodly amounts of water to keep from getting dehydrated. I hope that in the next 2 months I will transform to a leaner physique. I will be finishing my cycle and starting PCT near the end of this month and expect to see some of the bloat disappear. I really appreciate everyones comments. I first posted because I was proud of my accomplishments in mass but was moved by the gains in fat to seek opinions to help my motivation change to leaning up. I can't thank you guys enough for your opinions here. Again thanks.

Chest looks massive in those first pics. You may not look as good now, but you definitely put on some good size. Once you get some of the fat gains off you're gonna look just as good as earlier except thicker. That's the only way to do it, can't look perfectly cut all year round and gain a lot of mass. Keep up the great work, dude!

Working on it for sure, did my first cutting workout yesterday. It was so hard to switch motives from mass/strength to lean/endurance lifting. I did chest, triceps, abs yesterday. I felt like a weakling when I got so fatigued with the weights I was using. Last set working down the ladder to 135 on bench press was awful. I think I pumped out 6 good reps before my chest and arms couldn't go anymore.

Any comments on the shitty leg pics?
