HISTORY:
I've been training for about 10 years. Sometimes with little breaks. In 1997 I started college again and was 5'11" and 135lbs. I was strong for my size but I wasn't educated and thought training my ass off would make me bigger. It made me stronger but it wasn't till I started eating right till I started to grow. I finished college in 1998 at 155lbs still natural, all because of eating and EAS Phosphagen. I went from benching 135lbs to 215lbs. The first 2 pics is of me at 155lbs which I still look scrawny but you should have seen me before.

I fluctuated around 155-160lbs for the next few years. I even tried a couple of uneducated cycles. I finally hit a low at 140lbs in Oct. of 2002 and got pissed. I hit the gym and food hard again and joined on here at Musclechemistry. Within a few months I had put my weight back to 155lbs al while educating myself here at MC. By Spring of 2001, I started my first real, educated cycle. I went from 155lbs to 174lbs in 4 weeks!

After that bulker, I went straight into a cutting cycle sort of. (which I won't do again). I stayed at the same weight but leaned out. I ended up after everything was all over at 171lbs.

Great success story, bro! Look at the size in those shoulders, and the detail in your back!
 
Ekselent transformation Mac!

I myself started out a scravny kid too,.. so i know how mnuch effort it takes!
 
Great success story bro...

hopefully this thread will show the scrawny newbs out there that taking juice alone and being uneducated won't get u big and buff... it shows that it takes hard work, dedication, and knowledge to gain size... not a few hundred dollars worth of juice..

great job bro..

I myself have a similar success story that is still in progress, but mine is kinda opposite... I started as a big fat kid... that story will be shared with u guys in a few months when I'm done cutting
 
I probably did 3 cycles uneducated and put on maybe 6lbs in water and then lost it all everytime.
Thanks everyone for the comments.
 
You have certainly made huge progress. It must feel great to know what you have accomplished. And I bet you feel lots better too. Good job. Your story really makes the point of the importance of knowledge and info. Thank heavens for MC, it has helped me trmendously. And sharing stories like yours and WeirdAl's (talk about inspiration) helps all of us.
