My VERY succesful plan!
Hi Guys
I would like to share with you all, the plan which has provided me with the results I have been looking for, after 7 years.
I am now at the point where I have reached a physique I am very happy with - Big muscles for my frame, well defined, abs showing.
A little about me: 5ft 7 - 25 years old
Up until 2003 I weighed over 16 stone with a 42 inch waist. Then came the dark time. I became anorexic, the bulimic, then both, ending up at 24 inch waist and sub 8 stone. I was a mess and was killing myself with endless cardio and a max daily intake of an apple and a frosties bar. THIS HAD TO STOP. Family and friends combined and along with some extreme mental focus, I made the decision to bulk up, this was tough and painful.
However, I eventually reached 12.8 stone, with some good muscle, yet a fair amount of fat.
So following a cutting plan down to 11.2 stone, I am now back up to 12 - fairly lean and, as I have been told, about the most muscular guy at my gym. I always wandeed if the elusive ''clean bulk'' was possible, and believe me t is, and this comes from a guy who holds fat very easily.
Here is the plan and diet I have followed for the past 12 months to reach this goal:
