225 bench press finally! Genetics talk

Hey people, yesterday on my push day I hit 225x4[2 plates] and it's kinda crazy to see how fast I progress. I remember being barely able to put up 135 11 weeks ago. There will be a video at the bottom of the post.


As for genetics, I've always thought I was on the chubbier side which lead me to believe I was Endomorph body style. But I think I'm beginning to see I'm mesomorph. I'm gaining strength so fast people are actually accusing me of steroids. I'm also gaining an insane amount of fat with that too. Ill find out soon enough if I have good athletic genetics, however if so I'd wish I had started earlier or played a sport in high school.

Beginners deload end 12 week results

They say listen to your body. I'm feeling about 100% now so Ill hit the gym later today to do my new push workout.

This post was mainly to give insight how my physique changed over the last 3 months.
Basically to gain weight I just eat everything and to come down I do a STRICT calorie count. I didn't exceed 200 which resulted I'm about 10 pounds In 1 month. I'm currently bulking before I decide to cut again. I'm focussing on strength as oppose to size.

This is probably at the peak of my bulking thing 4 weeks after 15 pounds was gained 

This is when I did a mini cut back to 195 which I seemed to preserve a lot of muscle.

First post: Deload week

Like the title states, this is my first post. Anyway this is week 11 if my weight training and I've decided to make this deload week to get a full recover.  Ill update on my stats and how they've grown in the next post. Ill give a little insight to myself now


I'm 21 years old, never really been an athletic kid, Thai boxing was probably the first athletic thing I ever done. May 25th I decided I'd start lifting weights to fill out my body some considering I have a stress fracture from Thai boxing. That quickly turned to something more. I started to notice my body explode. I began reading a lot of bodybuilder sites mainly bodybuilding.com. I've learned a lot of body composition and manipulation methods. Suddenly I began to add more and more weight to my lifts. I watched my bench go from 135 to 215 in less than 3 months. I was becoming obsessed. At my gym I get a lot of smack for my diet, but I prefer to keep everything simple, as long as I'm in a surplus of calories and got my protein goals I consistently seen strength gains.


Anyway before I rambling on ill continue about myself. Im currently in college and I work a fulltime job. I have a few good friends and a few good buddies I hit the gym with. I'd personally prefer someone with the same drive as myself to push myself again but that's in due time.


Ill keep this short, see you soon bloggies!
