HARDtotheCORE - 18y/o bulked to 220

[HARDtotheCORE]

whats up guys, this is my first post, so i thought i'd give a little info about myself. I'm 18 years old, totally natural, and have been a competitive powerlifter for the past year. I've decided to start bodybuilding, to see how massive i can get, naturally. heres my stats:
5'10
215-220lbs
30" waist
28"quads
17.5"arms
47" chest
lifting for 5 years, but only the past 2 with a strict diet and split
Supplements used:
Creatine (CEE)
whey
Glutamine
ANimal Nitro
Animal Pak
AST Dymetadrine extreme (the old school one)

Are you sure you're 18? Check the birth certificate on this kid...

Fuckin awesome

 

[kwyckemynd00]

Damn, you're a big kid!

Impressive!

However, the 30" waist thing doesn't sound quite right I'd guess 34-35", personally....The rest are believeable however. Your BF% looks relatively low, too. 12% or so (although the lighting is def. favorable)

 

[HARDtotheCORE]

wellll... the 30" waist is somewhat "fluctuat-tive" if thats a word... no bigger than 32 though.... i usually wear 32" pants, and they're slightly baggy.... and yea, i turned 18 on may 11th, so i was 17 not that long ago... thanks for the props guys!

 

[kwyckemynd00]

pant size is a different story I can weara 34 and have it be slightly baggy, but my waist is 36.5

Your mid-abdomen does look much smaller than your navel level though, so maybe I'm wrong on that one.

Either way, your looking big.

Competitive PL, eh? What are your lifts and totals?

 

[HARDtotheCORE]

well, all my weights are at 198 bodyweight, with USAPL rules, which are kinda gay... my gym numbers are quite a bit higher.... when i have to pause my bench press... its pathetic

500lb deadlift
409 squat
300 bench

lookin' good, nice work. I wish I would've trained hard when I was your age...you def. have some potential...keep it up....and when ya turn 21, say NO to clubbin'...lol.

 

[HARDtotheCORE]

yea man, its rough even now... i havent TOUCHED alcohol in over a year, or ever smoked pot/cigs, for the sole reason that it may mess w/ my gains. i've missed out on soooo much ass, and sooo many parties cuz of my lifting, but its all worth it to me.

I wish i was that dedicated at your age. Keep up the good work.

 

[ryansm]

You will get plenty of ass, trust me.

Your numbers are solid, just keep on track and don't lose the motivation it will all pay off. The potential is certainly there.

 

[Cuffs]

Damn fine job dude. Keep up whatever it is you're doing, because it's working for you! :thumbsup:

 

[HARDtotheCORE]

thanks guys! i appreciate all the support!

 

[TheCrownedOne]

You'll appreciate not smoking and drinking in the years to come. Good job man, you're a monster!

[HARDtotheCORE]

it is soo tempting for me to drink... but like i said before, i've got my priorities, and partying has no place in my life. This weekend is prom, and everyones tellin me, "c'mon dude, drink just this one weekend" but ya know wut, one weekend will turn to 2, and then so on and so on. soooo, **** THAT, and **** PROM, i gotta fuckin squat the next day.

[Methyl1]

Those are still good numbers, bro.

In-gym numbers work for me though...so techincally you could have thrown those at me and I wouldn't complain I'm assuming those were RAW lifts, too, right?

 

[HARDtotheCORE]

thanks guys! my dad lifts quite a bit, but has a more cut up physique... he was a big runner so the bf% is at like zero, but he's like my height at a shredded 185. i think i just have a really good bone structure with wide clavicles and a somewhat small waist.

and as for prom... these people are my friends, but in the long run, i honestly dont think they're ever gonna give a **** about me or my goals. hell, they fuckin give me **** when im at a party chuggin down an MRP instead of a beer, so **** them. my true bros are at the gym.

I am weaping reading this :sad: . I remember back to those days. Don't let college go to your head (like me). I was 6 ft 230 @ 18 squatting 405 below par 17 times and benching 435 (pause, 405). I am lighter now, and not as strong but look a lot better. Best advice is to get help with the diet at an early age, it HELPS!! Granted, you are young and should have some fun, but I wish I had someone knowledgeable sit me down and go over meal plans a little better at a younger age. AWESOME work man :thumbsup:

 

[HARDtotheCORE]

thanks man!

The guy who owns my gym, who is also the coach of our powerlifting team has been in the trenches. he's seen it all, done it all, and knows what works, and whats just hype and bullshit. He's given me SHITLOADS of knowledge on diet, cardio, training, supplements, and to his credit, he has totally steered me away from steroids and prohormones, and said to wait until i've used up ALL natural potential. Even when i was gonna hit up a 4 week 1AD cycle, he flat out said, "**** no your not." I owe so much of my knowledge and work ethic to this man, its rediculous.

 

[dickwootton]

You look amazing bro! I have been lifting for years and you have a lot more size than i do...If i could offer some ideas for improvement it would be to work on chest and back symetry they appear to be lagging a little compared to your massive arms but none the less you look great.

 

[JonesersRX7]

that first pick that's dark... your traps look sick... especially with taht vain poppin'.

Way to be man.

 

[zaph123]
