Wow Celltech, sick gains. I can't really teell if the progress is as huge as it looks or if the lighting changed a lot, but you look like you made a ton of progress.

I definately made a lot of progress, I was REALLY on point for 4/6 months and still managed to get lifts in and whatever throughout. I think I gained 4-5kg of lean mass or about 10lbs~. Arms have virtually doubled haha.

Sorry for responding late. I took two pics yesterday, but lighting was atrocious and they are a bit blurry. My apologies. I've been crazy busy lately (and pretty stressed), but now that I can sleep at normal times again my gains are going well. I think I've made solid gainz over the last months, especially arms, shoulders and back. Legs and chest have progressed as well, but relatively not as much as the others. I'm going to make better progress in the next 6 months. 93kg, 10%~ in these pics.

@Farva I can't hear your sarcasm over my 30 sets of arms per week.

Yeah really Celltech, nice work! One of those stories that make this sub/thread so great, especially since you were here from the very skinny beginning, weren't you?

Yup, I weighed 67kg (150lbs~) at 1.96m (6'5~) when I started on June 11, 2011 (3 years ago). I made a lot of progress strength wise, size wise and personality wise. I basically went from insecure, average ambition and a virgin (lols) to a very confident, very driven top student (I have a solid chance of going to LSE/Oxbridge for my masters) and have a gf who does modelling. Basically what I wanted to be when I started - I even hit Diamond IV on LoL, but I haven't played at all in the last few weeks. Internships and academics have eaten up all my gaming time essentially. I still believe that strength work is necessary, but it makes a little sad when super motivated beginners are told to do SS untill they hit 315 in squat or something like that: higher volume and higher frequency led to WAY better size gains and WAY better strength gainz, as well as more fun training.

I sincerely recommend anyone who is lifting for fun/aesthetics to look into a more bodybuilding oriented split, or something like Layne Norton's PHAT.

EDIT: Another thing I would like to add is that if you want to be top .1% no matter what, you will have to outwork 99.9% of the population. When I was bulking I would set an alarm at 2am and hit my macros NO MATTER WHAT, even if I had to vomit I would discard those kcals and eat more at a later stage. When I was applying for top internships I applied for 50+ on top of brutal academics and writing my bachelor's thesis in 4 weeks. If you really want things, you will find a way. I'll keep you guys posted if I ever make Fortune 500 CEO or partner in a top management consulting firm/Bulge bracket bank.
